Abstract

The Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland analysed all systematically collected stream sediment samples in Greenland by Instrumental Neutron Activation Analysis for a range of elements including Au, As and Sb. The large-scale regional distribution patterns for the three elements are shown here for the first time, and their implications for old exploration and for environmental issues are discussed.
