Abstract
Negotiations on a new strategy for exploration and utilisation of the mineral resources in Greenland were started during the year between the Greenland Home Rule Authorities and the Danish state. This strategy aims to encourage the mining and oil industry to intensify exploration activities in Greenland. In connection with this new approach, the Geological Survey of Greenland (Grønlands Geologiske UnderSøgelse, GGU) has continued and developed initiatives to facilitate ready access to relevant geological, geophysical and geochemical data held by the Survey.

Emphasis has been placed on the folIowing: - enhancement of a number of existing geological data bases, including the addition of data covering West Greenland to the Mineralization Data Bank; - completion of the drill core storage facility in Copenhagen, containing material from earlier mining and exploration activities; - publication of the first issue of a new thematic map series, comprising 57 digitalised maps of the NuukManiitsoq area of West Greenland; - introduction of a new information service for the oil industry with publication of a biannual newsletter (GHEXIS)
