Introduction The Aappaluttoq Ruby Project is located in southwest of Greenland (inhabitants: 55.984), approximately 150 kilometres south of the capital Nuuk (inhabitants: 16.992) and 20 km southeast of the settlement of Qeqertarsuatsiaat (inhabitants: 198). The expected life of mine is 9 years and it is expected that the annual mining rate will be an average of approx. 350,000 tonnes of which approx. 21,000 tonnes will be ore. The production runs from the beginning of April to the end of November each year. Figure 1: The Appaluttoq project - 63° o' 39" latitude and 50° 19* 11" longitude On June 16th 2014 The Minister for Industry and Mineral Resources, The Mayor of Kommuneqarfik Sermersooq and the Managing Director of True North Gems Greenland signed the Impact Benefit Agreement (IBA)1 in Qeqertarsuatsiaat. The IBA is an agreement that sets conditions and targets for the Aappaluttoq Ruby- & Pink Sapphire project to ensure that Greenland, the region and not least the local community benefits from the project, mainly but not only in form of jobs, business opportunities together with training and educational offers in relation to the mining industry. The IBA and the efforts that the Company has put into the project, specifically to achieve the conditions and targets in the IBA, will be evaluated in an annual report. The annually conducted evaluation will constitute the basis for discussions concerning whether the appendices to the IBA will need adjustments for the following years and whether the Company needs to pay special attention to certain subjects. It is the provisions in the appendices to the IBA that stipulate the lion share of the different targets for the projects use of Greenland Workers; training and educational activities; contributions to development of Greenland business activities and companies; and other socio economic and sustainability matters. This IBA Monitoring Report is the first of its kind for this project and it covers the period from June 2014 to June 2015 and has been drafted in close cooperation with the Ministry of Industry, Labour and Trade. 1 http://naalakkersuisut.gl/~/media/Nanoq/Files/Publications/Raastof/ENG/Signed%20IBA%20TNG%20ENG%2016% 2006.pdf 4 Each section in the report gives an insight on how the project has performed in relation to targets stipulated in the IBA: Section 2 gives a short presentation of True North Gems Greenland; Section 3 gives a description of the main project activities conducted since the initiation of construction in September 2014 (appendix 1 to the IBA). Section 4 gives a short update on the cooperation with the authorities and the parties to the IBA. Section 5 gives an account on the project’s use of Greenland workers. Section 6 gives an account of the conducted training and educational activities. Section 7 and 8 gives an overview of the projects contribution to Greenland businesses activities. Due to public interest in the Project’s tax contribution this has been included in section 9. Section 10 describes other socio-economic or sustainability activities conducted by True North Gems Greenland in the last year or so. Finally, Section 11 describes changes made in the IBA based on lessons learned from the past Year. 2. True North Gems Greenland (the licensee) True North Gems Inc. (TNG) is a public junior exploration company dedicated to the exploration and Development of colored gemstone deposits. TNG is committed to the realization of shareholder value through development of the first ethically sourced commercial ruby mining operation, in partnership with the people of Greenland. The Company’s shares are traded on TSX Venture Exchange (in Toronto, Canada) under the symbol TGX. Prior to being granted an exploitation permit in March 2014 the Greenlandic subsidiary, True North Gems Greenland A/S (TNGG) was set up. In 2012 TNG entered into a Joint Venture with the highly Arctic experienced Norwegian mining company Leonard Nilsen & Sønner (LNS). The Joint Venture made LNS a partner in the “Aappaluttoq-project” and co-owner of TNGG and at the same time making the Greenlandic based subsidiary to LNS, which is LNS-Greenland, the operator. By the end of June 2015, LNS had 7% ownership in TNGG. Once the construction phase has a completion of 50% LNS will get additional 5%, at 75% a further 5% (total of 10%) and on a completion of 100% LNS will get another 10% making a total of 27%. Greenland Venture has also invested in TNGG and by doing so acquired an ownership of 0.66%. True North Gems Greenland is based in Nuuk. At the moment TNGG runs all planning and administration from the office in Nuuk. At the moment, the project is in the construction phase. Later this year it is planned to go into production, and by that time the Company will also have established a Rough Handling and Cleaning facility and the Administration facility will be prepared to include a Sorting facility. 3. Activities 3.1 Activities in General in 2014/2015 A detailed description of the necessary facilities for constructing the mine and getting it into production can be found in the Social Impact Assessment, which are available on the Greenland Government and the company’s web site2 and a short description can also be found in appendix 1 to the IBA. As it appears in this section, then the activities since September 2014 have been construction activities at the mine site and shipping activities between Nuuk and the mine site. When the IBA was signed in 2 http://naalakkersuisut.gl/~/media/Nanoq/Files/Hearings/2013/TNG%20QEQ/Documents/VSB%20%20endelig%20v ersion%20v52Eng.pdf http://www.truenorthgems.com/ (Choose under ”Greenland Ruby”) 5 June 2014, all focus from True North Gems Greenland and LNS-Greenland (JV Partner and operator) were on the mine site and getting the construction started. Picture 1: The Camp and Helipad June 2015 3.2 Mine site: Construction activities in 2014/2015 The Operator had done excellent planning and a few days after initiating the construction phase in September 2014 the operator broke ground at the site. Though late in the season and facing an early – and very cold – winter, the operator has been able to continue the construction with only minor delays. The construction phase has been a very busy period and both the Company and the operator have utilized several suppliers and sub-contractors. In Section 7 all Greenlandic suppliers, sub-contractors and vendors are listed in Table 13. As it appears in Table 2 most of the facilities are currently (July 2015) under construction. The only part of the facilities where construction is not initiated is the open pit mine.

  • Renewable Energy Across the Arctic: Greenland Report
    Renewable energy across the Arctic: Greenland Report EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Greenland has been partly self-supplying with energy since 1993 by help of hydropower plants. The national energy production is increasing, but Greenland still depends on imported oil, primarily gas oil, diesel and petrol. Greenland has firm green ambitions – and potentials – in the energy sector. The Government of Greenland is committed to developing new hydropower plants in five communities and to invest in renewable energy for small, isolated settlements (Government of Greenland, coalition agreement 2016-2018). By pairing large-scale industry with renewable energy, Greenland can take a lead position in sustainable business. A central driver for the Government of Greenland’s commitment to renewable energy is an urge for a self-sustained economy and financial independence from subsidies from Denmark. When replacing imported fossil fuels with national energy production, the Government of Greenland supports the national economy while reducing CO2-emissions. Many communities in Greenland are small, and the grid comprises today 69 decentralized, stand-alone energy systems with no option for the distribution of renewable energy. However, two cities – Qaqortoq and Narsaq - are connected to the same hydro power plant in Qorlortorsuaq. Size matters in Greenland, as the country has an area greater than Mexico and with some communities very remote. The potential for hydropower is far from exhausted. New plants are already further analyzed, developed and in pipeline for five communities: Aasiaat, Qasigiannguit, Maniitsoq, Paamiut and Nanortalik. With more hydropower on the local grids, electric and hybrid cars can replace the use of gasoline and diesel. First- movers have already been out for some years, and more power stations are key to leverage.

  • Insights from West Greenland Caribou
    Movement patterns and habitat selection – insights from West Greenland caribou Katrine Raundrup Industrial PhD Thesis 2018 Data sheet Title: Movement patterns and resource selection – insights from West Greenland caribou Subtitle: Industrial PhD Thesis Author: Katrine Raundrup Institute: Greenland Institute of Natural Resources, Greenland Department of Bioscience, Aarhus University, Denmark Year of 2018 publication: PhD Senior Researcher Jacob Nabe-Nielsen and Senior Advisor Peter Aastrup, Aarhus Supervisors: University, Denmark, and Head of Department and Researcher Josephine Nymand, Greenland Institute of Natural Resources Assessment Professor Birgitta Åhman, Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, Sweden, committee: Researcher Bram Van Moorter, Norwegian Institute for Nature Research, Norway, and Senior Researcher Dr. Morten Frederiksen (chair), Aarhus University, Denmark Funding: GrønlandsBankens Erhvervsfond, Government of Greenland and Greenland Institute of Natural Resources Abstract: Caribou (Rangifer tarandus groenlandicus) in the Akia-Maniitsoq population were found to be partial migrators as ca. 85 % were migrators or mixed-migrators while ca. 10 % were resident. The average distance between summer and winter home ranges depended on individual movement type; migrators and mixed migrators moved on average 57 km between ranges, whereas resident animals moved only 7 km. Average home range sizes were larger in summer than in winter (96 km2 vs. 35 km2), and were dependent on caribou body length. Furthermore, migrators had larger home ranges than residents. The caribou selected annual home ranges, which were characterized by the presence of the vegetation types heath, copse and grassland. This corresponds to findings at patch scale where caribou preferred copse during summer while grassland and snowbed rich in lichens were preferred during winter.
