Abstract

The Greenland shield was created during the Archaean era by the amalgamation of oceanic and new arc-formed crust, followed by emplacement of granitic plutons. This was succeeded by orogenic deformation and greenschist to granulite facies metamorphism. From the Palaeoproterozoic era, orogenic activity and rifting evolution have resulted in strong possibilities for the existence of viable economic occurrences.
