Uranium Country Notes

Greenland

Exploration for uranium was carried out for more than 30 years (1955-1986), with moderate success. Fairly sizeable quantities of in-situ uranium resources were reported for Greenland in the 2003 Red Book (there was no national report in the 2005 edition): 27 000 tU of RAR and 16 000 tU of IR, 75% of both being recoverable at US$ 80-130/kgU, together with an in-situ 60 000 tU in the speculative category, most of which was deemed to be recoverable at less than US$ 130/kgU. No production of uranium has yet taken place.
