Resumé

The most recent summary of the economic geology of Greenland is that of Ball (1922) although some general aspects have been outlined by Petrascheck (1971) and Ridge (1972). Further information is to be published by P. W. Guild (in prep.) who is compiling a Metallogenic Map of North America. Mining operations have been limited up to the present. The cryolite quarry at Ivigtut in South-West Greenland and the lead-zinc mine at Mesters Vig in central East Greenland were the only major operations before 1970. Active mining is now taking place at Marmorilik in the Umanak area of West Greenland where a lead-zinc deposit has been known for a number of years.
