Objetivo
TO ASSESS THE AVAILABILITY OF LOW-GRADE RESOURCES OF IGNEOUS PHOSPHATE ROCKS IN TERM OF ECONOMIC BENEFIT TO THE COMMUNITY.
THE PROJECT AIMS AT A SYSTEMATIC INVESTIGATION OF THE PHOSPHATE POTENTIAL OF A NUMBER OF INTRUSIVE COMPLEXES IN GREENLAND, AS PART OF A STUDY OF THE GEOLOGY, DISTRIBUTION AND MODE OF OCCURRENCE OF LOW-GRADE IGNEOUS PHOSPHATE ROCK DEPOSITS IN THE NORTH ATLANTIC REALM, AS PROPOSED BY THE INSTITUTE OF GEOLOGICAL SCIENCES, U.K.
SPECIAL ATTENTION WILL BE PAID TO GEOCHEMICAL AND GEOPHYSICAL ANOMALOUS PATTERNS, INCLUDING REMOTE-SENSING TECHNIQUES, AS A GUIDE FOR FURTHER STUDIES INTO THE OVERALL PHOSPHORUS POTENTIAL OF SPECIFIC IGNEOUS ROCK ASSEMBLAGES.
BULK SAMPLES ARE TO BE COLLECTED FOR BENEFICIATION TESTING AT THE WARREN SPRING LABORATORY, UK, AS PART OF A JOINT EXERCISE TO OBTAIN APATITE CONCENTRATES FROM PROMISING OCCURRENCES OF THE DIFFERENT ROCK TYPES IN THE NORTH ATLANTIC REALM.
THE ULTIMATE GOAL OF THE JOINT RESEARCH EFFORT WILL BE AN ASSESSMENT OF THE ECONOMIC POTENTIAL OF THE IGNEOUS APATITE-BEARING ROCKS AND AN APPRAISAL OF THE APATITE CONCENTRATES, WITH FURTHER COMMERCIAL PROCESSING IN MIND.
