This work was carried out within the framework of the Survey’s three-year programme of bedrock mapping and mineral resource evaluation to enhance the understanding of the Archaean and Palaeoproterozoic crustal evolution in the transition zone between the Nagssugtoqidian and Rinkian orogens (Fig. 1). The work in the field season of 2001 comprised geological mapping of the 1:100 000 Kangaatsiaq map sheet described in this paper (Fig. 2), an investigation of the supracrustal rocks at Naternaq / Lersletten (Østergaard <em>et al.</em> 2002, this volume), a geochronological reconnaissance of the southern Rinkian orogen in the northern Disko Bugt region (Garde <em>et al</em>. 2002, this volume), a resource evaluation of the Nagssugtoqidian orogen (Stendal <em>et al.</em> 2002, this volume), a synthesis and interpretation of geophysical data of the central part of the Nagssugtoqidian orogen (Nielsen<em> et al</em>. 2002, this volume) and a report on investigations of the kimberlites and related intrusive rocks in the southern Nagssugtoqidian orogen and its foreland (Jensen <em>et al</em>. 2002, this volume).</p> ER -
