Objectives and tasks of the Bureau of Minerals and Petroleum

Welcome to the new BMP web site

The Bureau of Minerals and Petroleum under the Greenland Self-Government is responsible for the management of mineral resource activities in Greenland.

One of the main tasks for the Bureau of Minerals and Petroleum is the day-to-day management of prospecting, exploration and exploitation licences in the field of mineral resources. The Bureau of Minerals and Petroleum is the authoritative body for all administration in the area, and the mineral resources industry only has to submit applications to this one place to obtain the necessary licences. This principle ensures an efficient administration in the field of mineral resources.
