Goldrush in St. Jonsfjord

The public hea­ring regar­ding the app­li­ca­ti­on for fur­ther geo­lo­gi­cal inves­ti­ga­ti­ons of the gold occur­rence near St. Jonsfjord is com­ple­ted. 12 Insti­tu­ti­ons inclu­ding the Nor­we­gi­an Polar Insti­tu­te and several govern­men­tal depart­ments have for­war­ded their comments to the Sys­sel­man­nen, who will con­si­der them when issuing the detail­ed requi­re­ments for the envi­ron­men­tal audi­t­ing.

The cur­rent pro­ce­du­re con­cerns is limi­ted to geo­lo­gi­cal inves­ti­ga­ti­ons, inclu­ding dril­ling. In case the occur­rence should be eco­no­mi­c­al, then the app­li­ca­ti­on for a poten­ti­al mine would be a com­ple­te­ly new pro­cess on a lar­ger sca­le and with open out­co­me.
