Resumé

In the southern part of the Nuuk area (62°30'N to 64°N) heavy mineral concentrates were collected from 106 streams, which mainly either drain supracrustal rocks or a stratiform chromite-bearing anorthosite complex. All samples were analyzed for gold+ 34 other trace elements revealing scattered gold anomalies most of which can be ascribed to supracrustal rocks.

Furthermore 53 samples were analyzed for platinum and palladium. These results yielded a few anomalies in the anorthosite complex as well as some anomalies originating from ultrabasic lenses occurring in the supracrustal helts.
