Mining is important to the economies of both Northern Canada and Greenland. There is a lot that the mining industries in Canada and Greenland can learn from one another.
Our cohosts were pleased to welcome Hans Hinrichsen, General Manager of the Greenland School of Minerals and Petroleum. His school, based out of Sisimiut, Greenland, takes an innovative approach to mining focused on hands-on learning and practical experience in the industry. And from Canada, we spoke to Paul Gruner, President & CEO of Det’on Cho Management LP. Serving the Yellowknives Dene First Nation, Det'on Cho Management LP employs 600-700 people working in 15 companies and is heavily involved in services for the mining sector.
