Summary:A one year programme for detailed investigation of selected parts of the Nb-Ta-U-bearing pyrochlore mineralisation within the 'Motzfeldt Centre, South Greenland, was initiated in June 1987. The aim of the programme is to delineate areas with a potential for highgrade accumulation of Ta-enriched pyrochlore which is important if international exploration and mining activity is to be attracted. It is also important for official decisions in relation to any application for concessionary activity. The programme is carried out as a joint project between GGU and Nunaoil AJS under supervision of GGU, and a major part of the funding is granted by the Mineral Resources Administration for Greenland.
