RAPAPORT... True North Gems Inc. completed its series of public information meetings in Qeqertarsuatsiaat, Paamiut and Nuuk, Greenland this week. The ruby explorer stated that each of the three meetings offered local residents a chance to meet the company's management and learn about the project in an informal setting.
"I would like to thank all of the local participants that came out to the meetings and actively participated," said Bent Olsvig-Jensen, the managing director of True North Gems Greenland. "We were extremely pleased with the high turn-out and level of engagement from the local communities."
Senior representatives from True North Gems' partner, LNS Greenland A/S, also took part in the public outreach program. LNS Greenland will earn 20 percent of True North's Greenland subsidiary in exchange for assuming a significant proportion of capital costs and managing future mine operations.
"We value the feedback the communities have provided and will work to ensure that we address any concerns raised," said Nicholas Houghton, True North Gems' president. "We believe that overall, a very positive development message was received from the local populations in all three communities and we look forward to concluding the [government's] formal public hearings in the upcoming weeks."
