The Geological Survey of Greenland (GGU) has released three open file reports, including gold and base metal potential of the Ingia area in central west Greenland.
The report presents an evaluation of the metal potential of a part of the lower Proterozoic Karrat group in the Umanak district.
The evaluation is based on released company data and two summers’ reconnaissance by GGU.
The Karrat group hosts the exhausted Black Angel lead-zinc deposit and extensive sheets of sulphide facies iron formation. Anomalous contents of gold, arsenic, tungsten, zinc and copper in stream sediments and rock samples are found in a 1,000×1,000-km test area investigated by GGU. Highest gold values are 19 parts per million in pan samples and 1.4 ppm in rock samples. Three sub-areas with a potential for turbidite-hosted gold mineralization have been delineated by geochemistry.
