Geochemical mapping and geological reconnaissance in the Nagssugtoqidian mobile belt, West Greenland

Abstract

The Early Proterozoic Nagssugtoqidian mobile belt is geologically poorly known despite its location in the more populated part of West Greenland (Fig. 1). A detailed geological map (1:100 000; Olesen, 1984) is available for the western part of the Nordre Strømfjord area, but the remaining areas have only been mapped at 1:500 000 scale with geological reconnaissance along the coast and aerial photograph interpretation of inland areas (Map sheet 3: Søndre Strømfjord - Nugssuaq; Escher, 1971).
