Greenland Minerals does not comply with the 2011 supplementary agreement, in which they waive the possibility of seeking compensation if their application for a production license is rejected for political or administrative reasons. Instead, they refer to the fact that they meet the conditions of the Mineral Resources Act.
The mining company Greenland Minerals does not allow itself to be challenged by the fact that the coalition agreement states that "the mineral project at Kuannersuit must be stopped", writes the newspaper Sermitsiaq.
In a press release issued last week, the company's Australian director, John Mair, congratulates the new government on the election, and he expresses that he looks forward to meeting with the new Naalakkersuisut around the final design of the project.
According to its own statements, the company has spent DKK 400 million over 14 years on developing the mining project, which they believe is within the framework of the Mineral Resources Act.
Actively participated in travel
"We look forward to presenting the comprehensive project in detail to the newly elected politicians, so they can assess the project's potential and contribution to Greenlandic society", writes John Mair further and refers to the fact that Greenland itself has invited the mining industry and investors within.“Over the years, changing Greenlandic governments have invited investors to the country to develop the mining industry.
At the request of the governments, Greenland Minerals has responsibly and professionally helped to present Greenland's ambitions to develop a modern mining industry. Greenland Minerals has therefore actively participated in the governments' presentation trips to international mining conferences around the world ", says John Mair, among others.Read the full story in the latest issue of Sermitsiaq newspaper.
