    Abstract

    The exploration carried out in map sheet 67 V 2 is part of the Geological Survey of Greenland's geochemical mapping programme based on drainage samples. The purpose of this programme is to provide reconnaissance geochemical data which may be used together with geophysical and geological information to outline provinces or zones with potential for mineral
    resources.

    The samples were collected during the period 2nd to 23rd of July 1990 by the authors who were based in Søndre Strømfjord and used a Bell 206 (Jet Ranger) helicopter for transportation.

    Administratively the surveyed area belongs to the communities of Sisimiut (Holsteinsborg) and Kangaatsiaq, except for the extreme southeastern corner which belongs to the community of Maniitsoq (Sukkertoppen), see Fig. 1.
