Alaska's Mining Framework Offers Insight into Greenland's Mineral Development Challenges
GEM Mining Consulting has highlighted Alaska's mining framework as a benchmark for Greenland's efforts to advance critical mineral projects under Arctic conditions. Both regions face similar challenges, including harsh climates, complex logistics, and small populations, which impact the feasibility of mining operations. Greenland's potential for significant geological resources is constrained by stringent permitting frameworks, infrastructure challenges, and policy volatility. The Pebble Project in Alaska serves as a cautionary example, where despite a large copper resource, environmental concerns led to restrictions by the Environmental Protection Agency. Greenland's mining future is similarly affected by policy and licensing hurdles, particularly concerning uranium-related projects.
