It built roads, kai, helicopter landing area, living quarters and service facilities to sixty people, the engineering building and construction process. Efforts to establish a whole new mining in Greenland started in the spring of 2014. Since then, the people from LNS established a complete infrastructure towards the start of the trial production in these days. -It is always exciting when it approaches the startup, says Gunnar Moe. Started in 2011 Mining adventure started when LNS, Rana Gruber and LNS Spitsbergen bought the company Greenland Mining Services in 2011. The company is now fully fledged part of the LNS-LNS group-Greenland, which will operate the world's largest rubingruve in Greenland. In the weeks leading up to Christmas it should be extracted ore at the start of the work opprednings. The plant is expected to be fully installed and testkjrt by March, with the aim of full production against the spring, in line with the plans. When both the ore outlets and production of rubies be significantly greater than it would be in the winter. Tough winter -Difficult climatic conditions-first and foremost, a very tough winter in Greenland-delayed and fordyret project. This gave some challenges in the fall. In all of last year the people of winter fixed lived tent, in temperatures down to 40 degrees cold, with large amounts of snow and extreme wind conditions. In Greenland they say that it was the worst winter in 50 years. But no one complained because of that. Only mine It to start up a brand new business in Greenland, with demanding communication conditions, is at times challenging. It can be time consuming to get parts or expertise. -It takes six hours with fast-moving boat, or an hour by helicopter from the capital, Nuuk, where most of what you need can be obtained. But sometimes parts or items must be provided all the way from Denmark or Norway, and it takes time, "said Moe. When mine comes into operation, it will be the only active mineral business in Greenland, making that the LNS Greenland gets a lot of attention. -When we get in operation, this will be a milestone. The same thing when they first laid out the rubies in the market. The sale takes the peoples of True North Gems out of, a Canadian company that has this skill.

But the very difficult financial situation in the mineral industry makes enough that it probably will be many entrants in the next few years.

Greenland Venture has a smaller owner record in the LNSG. LNS is behind the investments in all infrastructure and building mass in rubingruva.

Forces Greenland "We are also particularly pleased to have created jobs in Greenland. We show the authorities in Greenland that our investments provide big ripple effects, both in terms of jobs and attention. Over 90 percent of the staff are Greenlanders.We are increasing gradually the mining expertise in Greenland, which in itself is a target. -Rana Gruber has planned the day herding of the breakup, which is absolutely necessary for this to happen on an environmental and safe way. We will operate in accordance with 14001 standard, and will be certified after this during 2016, says Gunnar Moe in a message at Mo industrial park. -Modern mining must be environmentally friendly, otherwise it will not be sustainable without that as is the case. LNS will help significantly also on HSE side (health, safety and environment) in the time to come. International We believe in a good cooperation between Norway, Greenland and Denmark in the years to come, including through this project, concludes Gunnar Moe.
