Resumé

The exploration activity of Greenland seems to be reverse proportional with the distance from available infrastructure. In Citronen fjord in Northeast Greenland more than 1000 km from nearest settlement, where no ships ever have been able to go through the ice millions of dollars have been spent in exploration. In the Nuuk region which is accessible by ship 12 months per year and is close to the best infrastructure in Greenland the exploration activities have been very limited. It is not because the geology of the Nuuk region is not favourable; the region has several generations of greenstone belts, regional sized shear zones and numerous gold, base metal and tungsten showings.
