Objectives and tasks of the Bureau of Minerals and Petroleum

The Bureau of Minerals and Petroleum (BMP) under the Greenland Home Rule is responsible for the management of mineral resource activities in Greenland. BMP aims at ensuring professional promotion of the mineral potential in Greenland to the international mining industry. 

One of the main tasks of BMP is the day-to-day administration of licences within the area of mineral resources. BMP is responsible for all case processing and is the only authority the industry needs to contact in order to receive necessary licenses. This ensures efficient case processing for mineral resource activities.

BMP contributes to the financing and implementation of a number of projects which can provide new knowledge about Greenland's mineral potential. In this way, the authorities are attempting to sharpen private-enterprise interest in exploration activities in Greenland. BMP engages in concerted efforts to promote Greenland's mineral potential through participation in international trade shows and exhibitions and through direct promotion initiatives aimed at selected oil and mining companies. 

Moreover, the English website of BMP is an important means of communicating full and relevant information to the mining industry.
