Geophysical measurements from airplanes and helicopters in Nordland, Troms, and Finnmark make up the majority of NGU's efforts in MINN. Geological follow-up has been conducted in a large number of places in the three counties.
At the same time, geochemical analyses of several thousand moraine samples have been carried out. Since the summer of 2011, NGU has presented new geochemical, geophysical, and geological datasets from Finnmark, Troms, and Nordland.
The mapping includes measurements of magnetism, radioactivity, and electrical conductivity, which are compiled with geochemical and geological data. Through interpretation, the scientists present a reliable picture of the bedrock's possibilities. Many of the areas have great potential for mineral and metal deposits, primarily copper, nickel, iron, and gold.
