GreenRoc's (GROC) CEO, Stefan Bernstein, commented:
"The changes in the Greenlandic Mineral Law that came into effect on 1 January 2024 are very positive for GreenRoc. The fact that our application for an Exploitation Licence can now run in parallel with the Environmental and Social Impact Assessment studies we are undertaking should significantly shorten the processing time for the Exploitation Licence. It also further illustrates Greenland's commitment to simplifying its mineral administration in order to establish a solid mineral extractive industry in the country."
