Abstract

Between 11th August and 27th August 2015, GEUS conducted a combined geological / geophysical survey of the ilmenite / heavy mineral sand placer deposits close to Moriussaq, Thule District, NW Greenland, on behalf of Blue Jay Mining. The field team comprised

• Jørn Bo Jensen, Senior Geologist, GEUS, expedition leader, scientist in charge of geophysical survey
• Samuel Weatherley, Postdoctoral Research Scientist, GEUS, scientist in charge of geological survey
• Lars Georg Rödel, Hydrographic Surveyor, GEUS
• Mike Hodgkinson, Field Technician, Blue Jay Mining
• Jason Dalziell, Field Technician, Blue Jay Mining.

The field program was conducted using a ship as a base. From 11th August - 14th August, our ship was Kisaq (owned by Anders Pedersen, Nuuk) and from the 14th August until the end of the field season our ship was Duda Lasø (owned by Lasø Upernavik ApS).

This report constitutes a summary of geological field activities in the area shown in figure 1. It accompanies GEUS Report 2015/74, which provides results from an offshore boomer seismic and bathymetry survey that was conducted at the same time. Appendix A provides a complete list of samples taken during the field period and a qualitative visual guesstimate of the heavy mineral content of the sediment.
