TORONTO (miningweekly.com) – The Greenland government has approved the 30-year exploitation (mining) licence for Canadian project developer Hudson Resources' White Mountain anorthosite project, located in the west of the country.

"The fact that we have taken this project from initial exploration through to a permitted mine in three years is a testament to our team's hard work and the government's support in making Greenland an excellent jurisdiction for mining. Hudson is grateful for the high level of support it has received within the communities during the permitting process and looks forward to working with local stakeholders to make the mine a success,” Hudson president James Tuer stated.

The White Mountain project offered the opportunity to quickly establish a mine to supply the fibreglass industry with feed material as a replacement for kaolin. It also had the potential to replace bauxite in the production of alumina and provide solutions for the very large mineral filler/extender market.

Greenland authorities had also approved the impact benefit agreement (IBA) between Hudson, the Greenland government and the Qeqqata municipality, whose communities surrounded the project. The IBA would ensure that local communities and stakeholders shared in the benefits of the project, including employment, training, and social and educational support, the company advised.

This is the company's second major milestone in recent months following the signing of a ten-year global supply agreement.
