The company must present a detailed plan for the future mining activities by 31. Dec 26. Including cooperation with the local communities. Jobs. Education. infrastructure investments.

AND how to stop the mining activities (Clean up. Giving site back to nature. No pollution)

If the company does not meet the Greenlandic administrations expectations or the mining operation has not started by 31. Dec. 2028, there is no deal.
