Marmorilik.

The main problem in Greenland is environmental regs. Other than that the government is quite encouraging and accommodating.

Energy and transportation, once your dock is in, is by sea. Quite cheap. Tidewater is a huge advantage. North American and European markets and supply is equidistant, and close.

Hudson has the kind of Niobium assays other people only dream about. There are damned few niobium projects that ever make it into production. I don't think you are going to see rare earths made in Greenland either. The envi considerations would nip that one toot sweet. Where you wuold do them is a good question, and upgrade and shipping cost would have to be answered. Molten metal salts is a way to do RE's and niobium and I recall Cominco investigated that in a 30 million tonne Carbonatite-niobate complex in 1963 near where I lived at the time. A geologist co-incidentally who later ran Cominco Western Mining and sold the Marmorilik deposit in Greenland to them, was the geo on it and at the time it formed the basis of his PhD thesis. Marmorilik was a mountain-side lead-zinc mine in Greenland run by Cominco.
