Preliminary results on the distribution of uranium in drill cores from Kvanefjeld, Ilímaussaq intrusion

Abstract

As part of the uranium extraction research programme carried out at the Risø National Laboratory, geochemical and mineralogical investigations of the Kvanefjeld area were conducted at the Geological Survey of Greenland. In the present contribution the principal conclusions on the distribution of uranium and the mineralogy of the potential uranium ore from Kvanefjeld are summarised. Detailed results are given in a GGU interim report (Makovicky et al., 1979).
