Abstract:This work was to prospect for base metal deposits by geochemical analysis of the metal content in seaweed and in slope sediments. Previous sampling (Bollingberg, 1975; Vandkvalitetsinstituttet, 1972; Grønlands Fiskeriundersøgelser et al. 1974; GGU et al. 1975, 1976) showed that lead and zinc in seaweed (Fucus vesiculosis, F. distichus) near the mill tailings outlet and mining in the Mârmorilik area had increased from a few parts per million to 100+ ppm Pb and 200+ ppm Zn. The Mårmorilik area is particularly su… Show more
