One is reminded of South Africa after the Boer War when hundreds of Chinese were brought in to work the mines..Went down a treat with the Cornish.

 

Greenland has awarded UK-based company London Mining a 30-year licence to build and run a giant iron ore mine.

 

Greenland's industry minister called it the largest commercial project in the autonomous Danish territory's history.

London Mining is expected to seek investment partners for the multi-billion dollar project.

 

Some opponents say the open-cast mine will cause environmental damage; others are concerned about plans to bring in up to 3,000 mainly Chinese workers.
