Mineral resource assessments in Greenland

Throughout the world, effective and successful exploration is the result of multidisciplinary approaches integrating the latest in exploration concepts with new technologies. For this to be possible, access to solid geological background information and large amounts of geoscience data are required. Through determined and planned efforts, the Bureau of Minerals and Petroleum (BMP) and the Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland (GEUS) have been intensively involved in the geological investigation of Greenland, and during the last couple of decades with increasing emphasis on regional mineral resource assessments involving all disciplines of earth sciences. Very large amounts of data and information have been acquired, compiled and interpreted in various assessment projects.
