Australian mining interests
Two large-scale mining projects in Greenland are owned by Australian mining companies. Not far from Kvanefjeld is another REE deposit, for which Perth-based mining company Tanbreez Mining Greenland was granted an exploitation licence in February.
Tanbreez’s chief geologist Greg Barnes claims to have inspired former United States President Donald Trump’s notorious boast in 2019 that he would buy Greenland in the “real estate deal-of-the-century”. Trump’s boast was universally condemned in Greenland and Denmark.
There are about 90 large mining sites proposed in the south, all for open pit mines. They are all in the part of Greenland that is warm enough for people to live on and present a “huge threat to bio-diversity,” Hooge said.
