Abstract
Geochemical mapping by means of analysis of stream sediment and water collected at a density of 1 sample per 20-30 km2 has been carried out over the Aasiaat region of West Greenland. The < 0.1 mm fraction of the sediment samples was analysed by X-ray fluorescence and instrumental neutron activation techniques and results are reported for 34 major and trace elements. The conductivity and fluoride contents of the water samples were also determined.
The present data constitute a supplement to the results of the geochemical mapping of map sheet 68 V 2 (Steenfelt et al., 1992) east of the present area. The distribution of geochemical anomalies in the survey area indicates possibilities for minor base metal mineralisation associated with supracrustal rocks.
