title = "Uranium potential in Greenland. Reporting on the 8th Greenland mineral resource assessment workshop, November 2016",
abstract = "In November 2016, a workshop on the {\textquoteleft}Assessment of the uranium potential in Greenland{\textquoteright} was arranged jointly by the Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland (GEUS) and the Ministry of Mineral Resources (MMR), Government of Greenland with the purpose of: 1) pre-senting and discussing known uranium occurrences in Greenland and 2) estimating the prob-ability for the existence of undiscovered and hidden uranium deposits. The workshop was carried out in the framework of the Global Mineral Resource Assessment Project, and Green-landic – undiscovered - uranium resources were estimated down to a depth of one km. Three uranium deposit types were chosen for the assessment: intrusive, sandstone hosted and unconformity related. A total of thirty five permissive tracts were assessed. The main conclu-sion of the workshop was that intrusive and unconformity-related deposits have the highest probability of having formed uranium deposits in Greenland and that South Greenland hosts the best potential for hidden deposits.
