Resumé

The Archaean rocks in the vicinity of the Ataneq fault the Ataneq fault in the Nuuk region, Greenland, show strong hydrothermal alteration. This means, the possibility for extensive mineralization exists. Here, the potential of gold-bearing occurrences has greatest attention. All the more, since the Nuuk region appears lithologically and lithologically and structurally similar to the area of the gold-bearing deposits of Timmins in Canada and to the Archaean greenstone belts in Australia.
