The Motzfeldt area is a large niobium prospect located in southern Greenland in Kujalleq. Motzfeldt represents one of the largest niobium reserves in Greenland having estimated reserves of 130 million tonnes of ore grading 1% niobium and 0.04% tantalum.[1] The project is based around a syenite complex in Southern Greenland [2] , part of "the Gardar Province", the name given to the products of continental rifting in mid-Proterozoic times.
