Future of Kuannersuit, page-9

See below full translation of article date 06 May 2022:

I am reading a different tone in the commentary of this editorial over previous articles when Naaja Nathanielsen was in the position....See a couple of the highlighted points...

Keep in mind that the Lawyers were appointed late in 2021. That meetings with Naaja Nathanielsen proved to be pointless. That after 15 years of support from the GoG, GML do not have some form of agreement to move foward then they would be seeking Compensation....

You further have the situation that the IA government have not achieved anything in the way of creating a mining industry or jobs and incomes for workers. Remember that I think ir was over 50% of the 25000 employed workers actually work in the Public Service and produce nothing towards the economy or for that matter Independence.......Plus they have halted Oil and Gas exploration and 100 ppm on Uranium and now we have the situation in the Ukraine which is simply going to get worse with food and Oil and gas and the demand for new technology.....

Greenland cant expect to continue to live in a Museum and the Denmark and the world support them when everywhere is nearly a disaster....

A lengthy process surrounding Greenland Minerals' plans for the extraction of rare earths and uranium on the Kuannersuit is nearing completion.

- Naalakkersuisut has assessed that there is sufficient information to make a decision in the case of Greenland Minerals' application for an exploitation permit at Kuannersuit in South Greenland. The Ministry of Minerals and Justice will now begin the preparation of a decision on whether or not to grant an exploitation permit on the basis of the available material. The company has been informed of this matter on 5 May 2022, it is stated in a press release from Naalakkersuisut on Friday.

The Naalakkersuisut will decide on the Kuannersuit within six months.

Changing naalakkersusiut has changed the terms

It is now 15 years since Greenland Minerals received their exploration permit for the area at Kuannersuit. Since then, the company has posted millions of kroner in the project to map the possibilities of opening a mine with primarily rare earths as well as uranium as a by-product less than 10 kilometers from Narsaq.

Several naalakkersuisut and various legislation have changed the terms along the way, and when Greenland Minerals finally got their EIA and VSB statements accepted as adequate and ready for public consultation rolled in late 2020, the then coalition crumbled and the political winds shifted.

This has led to the Naalakkersuisut led by IA, having changed the legislation and reintroducing a ban on uranium mining.

Greenland Minerals must also be consulted

And that should be part of the deliberations on whether Greenland Minerals can get the green light for the project.

- In deciding whether or not to grant Greenland Minerals an exploitation permit, it will be assessed, among other things, whether the grant of Greenland Minerals' application for a exploitation permit is contrary to Inatsisartutlov no. 20 of 1 December 2021 prohibiting preliminary investigation, investigation and exploitation of uranium, etc., writes naalakkersuisut.

Based on the available material, the Ministry of Minerals and Justice will now prepare a draft decision regarding the utilization application. In accordance with established practice, Greenland Minerals will have the opportunity to comment on the draft decision before the Naalakkersuisut makes a final decision.

A final decision from the Naalakkersuisut is expected to be available within the next six months.
