Progress in geochemical mapping of West Greenland

Abstract

Geochemical mapping based on low density sampling and analysis ofstream sediment and stream water is part of the mineral resources evaluation programme undertaken by the Geological Survey of Greenland (Steenfelt 1987a, b). In the field season of 1986 two areas were sampled, the inner Disko Bugt region (1:250000 map sheet 69 V.2 and part of 70 V.2), and the Godthåb region (map sheets 64 V.1 and 64 V.2).
