The uranium prospecting programme commenced in East Greenland between 72° and 76°N in 1973 was continued during 1974 and included airborne radiometric surveying, field investigations in anomalous areas and a geochemicai sampling programme. Some of the results of the field work and the geochemical work are described here. The prospecting activity was accomplished in collaboration with the Danish Atomic Energy Commission's Research Establishment, Risø, and Rheinisch-Westfiilische Technische Hochschule, Aachen. The field parties and the airborne prospecting work were served by a helicopter and aircraft chartered from Heliswiss, Bern and Greenlandair Charter A/S. Stordal, west of Hold with Hope, was the base camp for all operations. During August, some of the field teams were served by the GGU cutter Jytte.
