The chromite deposits at Fiskenæsset

Abstract

Since the discovery of chromite associated with the anorthosites at Fiskenæsset in 1964 a programme of detailed mapping and sample collecting has been undertaken in the region. During the summer of 1966 mapping of the anorthosite horizons was completed in the eastern part of the region, and a geological map at 1:5 000 was made of a small area 10 km east of Fiskenæsset. In addition the best chromite horizons from an economic point of view were mapped at a scale of 1:1 000 and extensive sampling was continued throughout the region where chromite is known to occur.
