Mariane Paviasen Jensen, a Greenland MP for the Inuit Ataqatigiit party and prominent environmentalist, has described a 60 Minutes Australia program shown on Channel Nine on August 10 as a “propaganda broadcast” for an Australian mining company and the United States President Donald Trump — who has publicly declared his intention to takeover Greenland “one way or another”.

Entitled “Why are China and the US fighting over Greenland's rare earths?”, the program promoted a giant rare earths and uranium open cut mine in Kuannersuit near Narsaq — Paviasen Jensen’s hometown — which has been proposed by Australian company Energy Transitions Minerals (ETM) but rejected by the Greenland government in 2023. The company is challenging this decision in Greenlandic and Danish courts.

Australian mining company

No. They're a front for Canadian mining company Medallion Metals.

ETL currently has a share price of AU$0.097

They are worth less than 10c, don't have and have never had any projects and all but one of the executive staff are Medallion executives (the one that isn't is a Western Australian lawyer)
