The Motzfeldt 87 Project, initiated in June 1987, was completed in May 1988 with the publication of the final report (Thomassen, 1988). The project consisted of a detailed investigation of selected parts of the niobiumtantalum-uranium-bearing pyrochlore mineralisation at Motzfeldt Sø, South Greenland (fig. 1). The purpose of the project was to gain a general impression of the metal distribution in the mineralised zones and to delineate areas with high metal contents. The project was carried out as a joint programme between GGU and Nunaoil AJS under the supervision of GGU, and was mainly funded by the Mineral Resources Administration for Greenland.
