How to Make Breakthrough Profits on
the Little Rare Earth Miner…
This isn’t just the “mining coup of the century.”
This is a $58 billion mining coup of the century.
In fact, this is a mining coup of the century that could hand you as much as 1,443% gains by
January 31st.
Buy just $5,000 worth of stock in the powerhouse I’m about to reveal in this research report and by
January 31st you could have $77,150.
With $10,000, you could have $154,300.
With $50,000, you could soon be adding “millionaire” to your title.
All thanks to one mining company…
And the biggest discovery of the world’s scarcest and most politically charged metals in 83 years.
Let’s take a look…

Hidden on the Edge of No Man’s Land
Lies 4.9 Million Tons of Treasure
Greenland has spent the last 281 years trapped in a political and economic time warp. Its vast
mineral wealth has stayed locked away under the rule of an ancient European monarchy.
But in 2010, its population of 57,000 fishermen took a giant leap towards winning back their
independence.
The leap: Regaining full rights to their mineral wealth, and enacting a new law to attract miners.
Now, the likes of Rio Tinto and Alcoa — and many of their brethren, big and small — are sweeping
in and transforming this economic backwater into the planet’s last great mineral frontier.
Only Greenland Minerals and Energy (ASX: GGG) got there first.
And it’s just made a $58 billion rare earth metals discovery…
Rare earth metals are those weird-sounding elements you find near the bottom of the periodic table.
They’re also elements that our modern civilization has become entirely addicted to.
In fact, without them, we couldn’t make batteries, Blackberries, electric cars, computer chips,
computer monitors, Prius’s, rockets, jet engines, flat screen TVs, cell phones, photo cells, lasers or
iPods…
Wind turbines rely on the rare earth metal, neodymium.
You need 656 pounds of neodymium to generate just one megawatt of power. This year alone, we
installed 40,000 megawatts of wind power worldwide, swallowing over 8,820 tons of neodymium
(46% of global production).
But that’s nothing compared to what’s coming. Green energy initiatives demand that another
200,000 megawatts of wind power be brought online by 2014. This scenario will require an extra
44,100 tons of neodymium.
4
And by 2030, wind farms will need 507,150 tons of the stuff. We only produced 19,000 last year —
26 times less than what we’ll need just for wind turbines.
We’ll also need thousands of tons more to make all the computer hard drives, electric motors and
hydroelectricity the world will need.
The thin-film solar panels we use today rely on the rarest earth element of them all: tellurium.
This metal is quickly becoming one of the key elements keeping solar energy pioneers like FirstSolar
shining. Thing is, we only produce a little over 100 tons of this metal each year. We need about 10
times that amount to meet immediate future demand!
Gallium is another darling of the mineral world that makes the solar industry shimmer, but we only
produced 78 tons of this metal in 2009. Commercial solar applications will demand that we refine
1,600 metric tons of gallium to power just 15 million homes. That’s a 2,162% increase over last
year’s production levels.
And the ever-popular Prius uses a nickel-metal hydride battery based on the rare earth metal,
lanthanum. This is the same type of rechargeable battery that’s in your video camera, electric
toothbrush and every cell phone.
Unlike your BlackBerry, the Prius needs up to 33 pounds of lanthanum per battery. Today, Toyota
has one million more Prius’s slated for construction — and this next million will need 33 million
pounds of lanthanum to run.
That’s just the demand from one company!
Yet supply shocks are already occurring in these metals. And the situation is only going to get
worse…
In fact, the lack of rare earth metals is one of the biggest concerns right now for many tech giants
— including Apple, United Technologies, General Dynamics, GE, IBM, Cisco, Samsung, Sony,
Microsoft, Panasonic, Hitachi and Siemens.
And the problems are even greater for the fast emerging new green technology and alternative energy
industries.
That’s why the money you could make in these metals will be breathtaking.

Global Demand for Rare Earth Metals, 2008 to 2012
Up 1,443% in 52 Weeks…
Supply shocks have already occurred in many of these metals in just the last decade, causing price
spikes as high as 325%, 461% and 1,433% in as little as 52 weeks!
For example, one of the biggest investment stories last year was in the rare earth metal tantalum.
Tantalum is one of the most important metals used in capacitors, which is a fundamental component
to many of the electronics we use today. It’s found in cell phones, iPods, computers, jet engines, pace
makers, artificial hips and digital cameras…
Yet, last year the world produced absolutely no tantalum — not one gram — causing tantalum’s
price to almost triple in a matter of months!
6
Another supply crunch happened as far back as 2000, when Sony launched the PlayStation 2. But to
build the millions of units required, Sony needed a helluva lot of tantalum. This caused the price to
spike from $49 a pound to $275 a pound in less than a year (a 461% increase!).
And just in the last year supply shocks in the rare earth metal praseodymium (which is used in
energy-efficient light bulbs) caused its price to spike 1,443%!
These metals played major roles in some of the most important stories that unfolded over the last
decade. They also provided some of the greatest (yet most little-known) investment opportunities.
But if you think you missed out on them, don’t worry. They pale in comparison to what’s coming.
Even if the world went into depression, these metals would still do well.
The day for rare earth metals has arrived.
Greenland Minerals & Energy: A Mining Hero to the World
Greenland Minerals & Energy is a relatively new company created by a few old mining legends. Its
founders and directors have been around for decades and have launched several extremely successful
mining companies already, including Paladin Energy, whose stock price (under their management)
has leapt as much as 9,500% in less than four years thanks to a successful uranium project in
Namibia.
Now they’re on the brink of repeating their
successes in Greenland.
The real coup de temps?
The discovery of 4.9 million tons of rare earth
metals at the Kvanefjeld deposit in the Ilimaussaq
Intrusive Complex on the southwest tip of
Greenland.
This is probably the biggest rare earth metal
deposit in the world. There’s enough in this one
single mine to provide global industry with about
25% of the rare earth metal it needs for 23 years!
The deposit is exposed at the surface along a series
of undulating bluffs on a broad peninsula that’s
surrounded by deep water fjords.
This truly is a staggering discovery — one for the geopolitical, industrial and economic history
books!
The Greenlanders love it. The environmentalists should love it. Global industry desperately needs it.
The only group NOT happy about this… is the Chinese.

Thwarting the Bully Could Hand You Multiple Profits
AND “stick-it-to-‘em” Satisfaction
China is blessed with the world’s richest deposits of rare earth metals.
Realizing early on the economic (and political) value such an inheritance offered them, they set
about establishing themselves as the global leaders in the production of these metals. They now boast
a clutch of the biggest, most powerful, most profitable, cash-rich rare earth metal corporations on the
planet today.
In fact, they have managed to steal
a staggering 97% share of the global
market place, creating a mineral
monopoly… one that’s powerful
enough to hold the world to ransom.
You see, global demand for these
metals is escalating. But Chinese
exports are shrinking dramatically.
In 2012, China may implement a
complete embargo on the export of a
number of these strategic metals…
Until the $58 billion discovery in Greenland, this Chinese choke hold could have caused violent
disruptions in the industrial marketplace.
Thankfully, Greenland Minerals & Energy has saved the world that fate.
As Business News recently said about the Kvanfjeld project:
“[It] could rival the world’s largest rare earth mines in China.”
4.91 Million Tons of Rare Earth Metals and a Proven
Management Team Makes This a Winner
Right now, Greenland Minerals & Energy is focusing on the exploration and development of
uranium and rare earth metals mining operations in the Kvanefjeld deposit within the Ilimaussaq
intrusive complex.
It conducted a successful field study in 2008, confirming that the area has the following resources:
• 283 million pounds uranium oxide (U3O8)
• 4.91 million tons of rare metals
• 2.21 million tons of sodium fluoride (NaF)
This makes this area the second largest rare earth resource in the world, next to China’s Baiyenebo
Deposit. The Kvanefjeld Project alone has a net present value of $2.18 billion and a calculated free
cash flow of $8.9 billion over the 23-year mine life.

The stock is only listed right now on the Australian stock market. But that’s about to change. The
company is getting all its cards in order, ready to launch on the big North American and European
exchanges. And it hopes to do it at the beginning of 2011. Once the stock lists, the news will be out.
And its stock price should go ballistic.
That’s why they’ve gathered together a prestigious board of directors.
For example, Lars Emil Johansen, the former Prime Minister of Greenland, now sits as Chairman of
the company’s main subsidiary!
Johansen is considered a national hero by his people, as he was a pivotal figure in winning back the
country’s independence, and winning back its full mineral rights. He’s also been given a string of
prestigious national and international awards for his achievements and service to his country.
Not only that, Michael Hutchinson, the director of the London Metal Exchange — the largest
commodity and futures trading platform in the world — is a director. He holds one of the most
important (and connected!) positions in the global metals trading game.
Get in Now While Shares Are Cheap
You have a short window of opportunity to get in on this stock — while it’s still dirt cheap and
virtually unknown. But with all these historic events converging, and with the stock expected to hit
its first big exchange in January, you don’t have much time.
How high could this company’s share price go?
As I said a moment ago, the founders have
already launched mining companies whose share
prices have soared as much as 9,500% in the
past. We think they’re on the path to do it again
with Greenland Minerals & Energy!
IMPORTANT NOTE:
This is an aggressive stock play.
Do not invest money you can’t
afford to lose.
Don’t delay… news of this rare earth metals
miner is getting out there. The Dow Jones Newswire reported on it just the other day, causing the
company’s share price to rise from 36 cents to 64 cents in a single day… a 75% increase!
So much momentum is gathering about this one little stock right now.
That’s why I’m calling this The Mining Coup of the Century.
Fast-acting investors who enjoy the thrill of an aggressive trade clearly stand to make a fortune.
Of course, there is tremendous upside with this company, but there is also a degree of risk involved
with a small-cap stock of this nature (the market capitalization is only A$224 million). Only invest
money you can afford to lose.
Action to Take for Aggressive Investors: Buy Greenland Minerals & Energy (ASX: GGG) at
market.
