Gold mineralisation in the Skaergaard intrusion

The well-known Tertiary gabbroic Skaergaard intrusion in East Greenland has been shown to a host a gold and platinum group metal mineralization. Platinova Resources Ltd./Corona Corporation Joint Venture have worked in the intrusion since 1986 and have reported gold concentrations up to 5 g/ton.

In this report ten independent gold results from the mineralized horizon are compared to the results obtained by the Joint Venture. It is evident that the Joint Venture results can be duplicated. Further the results show that large concentration variations occur in the mineralized horizon and it is indicated that gold is not concentrated in the mafic parts of the rythmic layering but in the melanocratic to leucocratic layers.
