The geology and mineralisation of the Mesters Vig area, East Greenland. Part I. General geology. Part II. Blyklippen occurrence, structure and its influence on ore deposition

Abstract

An account of The Geology and Mineralisation of the Mesters Vig area. It will be best expressed by dividing the descriptions into three different parts. Part I includes the general geology of the Mesters Vig area. It has been prepared by J. Bondam, Geological Survey of Greenland, Copenhagen. The description is a brief summary of the stratigraphy within the area, as it has been established by E. Witzig, Switzerland, former geologist of the Northern Mining Company). To this summary new field and laboratory observations have been added. The geological map has been published through the courtesy of the Northern Mining Company, Copenhagen. Part II deals with the structural relations of the Blyklippen veins, and their influence on ore deposition. The study has been accomplished by H. Brown, Northern Mining Company, during the years 1953 and 1954. Part III will be published later in connection with these two papers. This part will deal with the paragenesis of the ore depositions at Blyklippen.
