If you've been to Greenland it you'll realize how inaccessible these mineral deposits are. And with no roads connecting towns it becomes a logistical nightmare. Oh and the place is covered in thick ice and snow for 10 months of the year. There have been mining companies dying there for the last 50 years, 1. Because of legislation and 2 because it's virtually impossible to mine.
