Greenland bans uranium mining, blocks rare earths project

Greenland’s parliament

has passed a bill to ban uranium mining and exploration in the Danish territory,

effectively blocking the development of the vast Kvanefjeld rare earths project, one of the world’s biggest.

The project was being developed
by Australia’s Greenland Minerals (ASX: GGG).

It was granted preliminary approval in 2020

and was on track to gain the previous government’s final endorsement.

While the miner hasn’t issued a statement on the matter,

its shares
were placed on a trading halt on Wednesday, pending “the release of an announcement”.

Trading
will remain suspended until Friday morning or the publication of the company’s statement”,

it said in a notice to the Australian Stock Exchange.

The decision to ban uranium mining and exploration

follows through on a campaign promise from the ruling left-wing party elected in April,

which had publicly stated its intention to block Kvanefjeld’s development, due to the presence of the silvery-gray, radioactive metal as a by-product.

The law, passed by parliament late on Tuesday, lines up with the new coalition government’s strategy

to focus efforts on promoting Greenland as environmentally responsible.

The new regulation
also includes the option of prohibiting exploration of other radioactive minerals, such as thorium.
