Greenland minerals and energy
Encyclopedia
Greenland Minerals and Energy Limited , is an exploration company focusing on acquisition, exploration, and development of its license area over the northern ilimaussaq intrusive complex
in Greenland
. GGG currently aims at
exploring of its flagship project, Kvanefjeld
project, in Southern Greenland.
project is located near the southwest of Greenland consisting of multi-element deposit including Rare Earth Elements (REE), Zinc, and Uranium, within marginal phases of the ilimaussaq intrusive complex
. As at March 2011, the project has defined a total resource of 619 Mt, with 71% indicated category, @ 10,585 ppm TREO, 257 ppm U3O8, 9,721 ppm REO, 864 ppm Y2O3, 2,189 ppm Zn which contained 6.55 Mt TREO, 350 Mlbs U3O8, 1.36 Mt Zn using 150 ppm U3O8 cut-off. The project shows higher grade portions located close to the ground surface. GGG aims to produce light and heavy RE concentrates, zinc concentrate, Uranium concentrate, large-scale outpur, and long life of mine in the project area.
Ilimaussaq intrusive complex
The Ilimaussaq intrusive complex is a large alkalic layered intrusion located on the southwest coast of Greenland. It is Mesoproterozoic in age. It is the type locality of agpaitic nepheline syenite and hosts a variety of unusual rock types....
