Mineral exploration licence reports

Non-confidential mineral exploration licence reports and other geoscientific reports have been recieved by Greenlandic authorities and subsequently send to GEUS in accordance with the Mineral Resources Act of Greenland (1 January 2010) and associated regulations.

This dataset allows to search in the database using alphanumeric and geographic search criteria and to access report metadata. It is also possible to download the actual report as a PDF file.

Presentation form: Digital map

Purpose: The purpose of this layer is to make licence reports available online for exploration companies interested in further exploring the mineral resource potential in Greenland. The reports should be easily searchable both spatially and non-spatially.and then downloadable.

Statement: License reports have been recieved at until about 2017 and the database was updated by scanning and georeferencing existing reports. The georeferences are polygons that represent areas that are treated in the report. Many of the reports were loaded into the database from older databases, and for most of those the area of interest was automatically defined as the area covered by the licence. Many of these geo-references have later been edited to represent more accurately the locality or localities treated in the report, and this process of narrowing the areas of interest has continued. New reports entered into the database will be georeferenced at the time of registration as accurately as practically possible.
