Resumé

In the early Archaean Isua supracrustal belt in the Nuuk region, West Greenland a major iron ore deposit with an estimated tonnage of 1900 M tonnes grading 32.9 % Fe occurs.

The Isua iron ore deposit, which is found 150 km north-east of Nuuk, is only partly exposed. One third is exposed whereas two thirds are covered by the Inland Ice. The nearest fjord assessible for shipping is 85 km away from the iron ore deposit.

Drilling, bulk sampling for beneficiation tests have been carried out as well as fairly detailed investigations for hydropower.
