Review of the Survey's activities in 1977

Abstract

There has been renewed interest in the uranium deposits at Kvanefjeld near Narssaq in South Greenland as a consequence of the search for new sources of energy. In 1977 an extensive drilling programme was carried out under the auspices of the Survey (Grønlands Geologiske Undersøgelse = GGU), supplementing several earlier drilling programmes, and jointly financed by the European Economic Communities (EEC) and the Danish Ministry for Commerce. Together with detailed mapping of the surface geology the drilling has made possibie revised estimates of measured and indicated reserves of uranium.
