The state wanted to monitor the exploration developments in Inglefield Land, and consequently, the Government of Greenland, Minerals Office agreed to fund a 4 million kr. follow-up project. This project, carried out by the Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland, had the main objectives of explaining the geophysical anomalies and circular structures in the area. Apart from the study of the latter, the field work comprised locating selected anomalies by GPS navigation and relating the sites to the regional geology, as well as ore geological studies and geochemical mapping.
