Greenland gives Danish-French group permit to mine rock with green potential, in wake of Trump interest
Greenland on Wednesday handed a 30-year mining permit to a Danish-French mining group aiming to extract a moon-like rock that could offer a climate-friendly alternative in aluminium production. The Arctic island rich in minerals, oil and natural gas, and long seen as a potential resource frontier, has drawn international attention since U.S. President Donald Trump expressed an interest in purchasing it earlier this year. The permit was granted to Greenland Anorthosite Mining (GAM), which is developing a site in western Greenland.
