REE potential of bedrock on Nordkinn Peninsula, Finnmark
Abstract
Recently, NGU carried out a low-density soil sampling project on the Nordkinn Peninsula, Finnmark, Northern Norway, that outlined regional-scale anomalies for the REE Peninsula (Reimann et al., 2012). The present report is a follow-up study to the soil sampling project and the present study has involved the mineralogical and compositional characterisation of the metasedimentary bedrock with focus on the economic potential in the rare earth elements (REE) of the area.
