Greenland, the Gingerbread man and a meteorite crater to mine

Why would any sane investor strongly  desire  to purchase a seemingly 
worthless, barren, frigid and ice-covered bit of crappy real estate like 
Greenland ?
Simple, Watson… if you have access to the largest intelligence community on 
earth, or else have a laptop and can do a rudimentary search.

Or even with no laptop if you have  an active imagination and a local library – 
consider  a mashup of “Smilla’s Sense of Snow” and “Gingerbread Man”…

Last year the following story did not arouse a lot of interest since the 
details were sparse …

But looking closer, a few details emerged and  it becomes clear that fragments 
of the impact were analyzed, the meteorite was gigantic, and:

“Analyzing those fragments, they found unusually high concentrations of nickel, 
cobalt, chromium, and gold...”

The value ? … think Sudbury basin with gold plating  ...

Yup, and that's not all. There's a chance that large meteorites create cracks in
the crust that allow deep oil/gas to reach up to near the surface. Think "Gulf
of Mexico".
