Resumé

The geochemical survey of the area from latitude 64°N to Frederikshåb Isblink (62°30'N) in southern West Greenland is based on the analysis (Au, As, Zn, Cu, Pb, Cr, Ni, Pt, Pd, Fe, Co, Na, Ba, Se, Th, U, Ce, La, Nd, Eu, Lu, Yb) of 277 samples of fine fraction of stream sediment and 268 samples of stream water (conductivity, U and F). The results for noble and base metals, Cr, and REE are relevant to mineral exploration particularly with respect to gold. A large number of the geochemical anomalies are associated with occurrences of supracrustal rocks which appear to represent the most promising exploration target for Au. A possible target for PGE is indicated in the northeastern part of the Fiskenæsset layered anorthosite-gabbro complex.

The results are also relevant for the study of composition and structure of the Precambrian shield in Greenland.
