Review of the Survey's activities in 1991

Abstract

The new Mining Law for Greenland, approved in 1991 by the Danish and Greenlandic governments, was designed to encourage interest in exploration and utilisation of mineral resources in Greenland by creating more favourable operating conditions for the oil and mining industry. The activities of the Geological Survey of Greenland (Grønlands Geologiske Undersøgelse, GGU) in 1991 have reflected this new strategy. In the hydrocarbon field a new information prospectus has been prepared for the forthcoming licensing round for selected areas offshore West Greenland, while initiatives to attract interests of mining companies have been intensified.
