Summary
On 9 December 2010 Greenland Minerals and Energy ("GME") Ltd was given permission to conduct feasibility studies into the Kvanefjeld Multi-Element Project ("Kvanefjeld", "the Project") by the Bureau of Minerals and Petroleum ("BMP"). The feasibility studies, inclusive of a Social Impact Assessment ("SIA") for Kvanefjeld, are a pre-requisite for obtaining an Exploitation Permit.
