Ketilidian uranium mineral occurrences in South Greenland

Abstract

The Sydex project is financed by the Ministry of Energy's Research Programme 1984 in order to evaluate the uranium mineral occurrences found during the earlier reconnaissance project, Syduran. The main objectives of the field season were: (1) to map and sample in detail the uranium occurrence at Igdlorssuit (fig. 20) in the Migmatite Complex which was found in 1982 (Armour-Brown et al., 1984), so as to evaluate its economic potential and place it in its geological setting, (2) to locate the source of a high gamma-spectrometer anomaly on the nunatak north of Nordre Sermilik in the Granite Zone, and to map the surrounding geology.
