Drilling programme on the uranium mineralisation at Kvanefjeld, Ilímaussaq alkaline intrusion, South Greenland

Abstract

During the summer of 1977 a drilling project was carried out in the uranium mineralisation at Kvanefjeld. The programme comprised 27 drill holes totalling 5000 m of core, a gamma-spectrometric logging of the drill holes and a detailed field gamma-spectrometric survey of the drilling area. GGU is responsibIe for organisation and administration of the programme, which was initiated in January 1977 and will be completed by January 1978. The drilling was carried out by the Danish Geotechnical Institute (DGI), the gamma-spectrometricallogging by Scintrex Ud., Toronto, Canada and the gamma-spectrometric survey by the National Laboratory, Risø. The programme was financed partly by the Ministry of Commerce and partly by the EEC.
