Raw Materials and Licenses

Greenland is home to a number of attractive and strategically important minerals, and there is significant activity with exploration and exploitation projects within the mining industry.

Nuna Advokater has extensive expertise in the mining sector in Greenland and has worked in the field for more than 20 years. We assist a wide range of international mining companies and have been involved in most exploitation projects in Greenland.

We have many years of experience in advising on the legislative framework for mineral activities and an in-depth knowledge of the regulatory process and the political system. We also have extensive experience in establishing joint venture partnerships, financing projects, etc. This has also given us great insight into the industry conditions and in-depth understanding of the challenges that mining companies work with.

We typically advise on applications for exploration licenses, exploitation licenses, development and decommissioning licenses, license terms, direct and indirect transfer of licenses, etc. We also assist with the preparation of legal opinions, due diligence processes in connection with capital raising and IPOs, etc. and we assist with the preparation and negotiation of joint venture agreements, financing agreements and loan commitments, etc.

In relation to this, we also assist with related tasks concerning the establishment of companies in Greenland, corporate matters, supplier contracts, employment, residence and work permits, etc. We also offer “address service” to registered Greenlandic companies and foreign companies registered with a permanent place of business in Greenland.
