Gates, Bezos ... The rich people have stared at it here

According to a report on the 8th of the United States CNN (CNN), some of the richest people in the world are investing in a large -scale "treasure hunting activity" that occurred on the west coast of Greenland. To this end, it is also equipped with helicopter and signal transmitter.

Under the influence of global warming, Greenland Glacier is melting unprecedentedly, which has created opportunities for investors and mining companies that can promote the key mineral resources of energy green transformation. It is reported that this situation is "ironic".

Some U.S. billionaires including Jeff Bezos, Michael Bloomberg and Bill Gates believe that under the hills and valleys of the Greenland and Nujukiner, there are enough Key mineral resources can be used to provide motivation for hundreds of millions of electric vehicles.

Kurt House, chief executive officer of Mineral Exploration Company Kobold Metals, told CNN: "We are looking for a mine, which will become the world's largest or second -largest nickel mining bed and cobalt mining bed." This American start -ups The company is cooperating with the British mining giant Bluejay Mining to find rare precious metals necessary for making electric vehicles and large batteries that stores electric vehicles and renewable energy in Greenland.

Representatives of Kobold Metals have revealed that several billionaires are providing financial support for this mineral exploration company headquartered in California. However, Boss, Bloomberg and Gates did not respond to CNN's comment request.

It is reported that there are currently 30 geologists, global physicists, chefs, pilots, and mechanics in the exploration location. The staff is collecting soil samples to manipulate drones or driving helicopters with signal transmitters to detect underground electromagnetic fields and draw rock layers. They are using artificial intelligence to analyze the data in order to accurately locate the mining location in the summer of next year.

Bo Møller Stensgaard, CEO of Lan Row Mining Company, said: "Climate change on the consequences and impacts of Greenland Island is worrying. It is easier to do. "

He also said that due to climate change, the ocean -free period becomes longer, and the mining team can be easier to transport heavy equipment into Greenland and transport metal minerals to the global market.

After the melting of the glaciers on land, the land buried under the ice for hundreds of years to thousands of years was exposed, becoming a potential mineral exploration location. Mike Sfraga, chairman of the US Arctic Research Committee, said: "As this trend continues in the future, there will be no doubt that more land will become easy to enter, and some of them may have mineral development potential. ","

The Denmark and Greenland Geological Survey (Geus) said that Greenland may become a hotspot for mining of coal, copper, gold, rare earth and zinc. The agency also said that the Greenland Autonomous Government has evaluated "several resources without ice land, and recognized the potential of economic diversification through mineral mining."

At the same time, the melting of Glacier in Greenland is leading to the rise of sea level, which is a problem that scientists who study the Arctic are very worried.

NASA ’s expert on sea ice, Nathan Kurtz, told CNN:" The biggest concern to the Arctic Herbon is that it has been melting in the past few decades, and it may be expected to be in 20 to 30 years. Disappearing. The Arctic Ice Card that has not disappeared throughout the year has now become seasonal ice caps. "
