| Summary: | The Karrat 97 project aims at the acquisition of geo-chemical data from drainage samples and information on mineralisation within a 10 000 km2 area, which stretches from Uummannaq northwards to Prøven (i.e. from 70°30 ′ to 72°30 ′ N; Fig. 1). The project area com-prises a major Palaeoproterozoic supracrustal unit, the Karrat Group, from which the project takes its name, and which hosts the abandoned Black Angel lead-zinc mine. It is a joint project between the Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland (GEUS) and the Bureau of Minerals and Petroleum (BMP), Government of Green-land, and wholly funded by the latter. The goal of the project is to win back the interest of the mining indus-try to the area. The eastern part of the project area is difficult of access |
