The baseline study was an integral part of the 2007 exploration program which included bulk sampling and detailed drilling of the Aappaluttoq occurrence (press releases September 13 and 18, 2007). This study will provide the requisite baseline data necessary to advance directly to supplementary studies comprising an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA).

Detailed basin hydrometry, water quality profiling, water chemistry and biological sampling were undertaken in the lake adjacent to the Aappaluttoq occurrence, the principal area of exploration. The water and biological samples have been shipped for analysis in Denmark.
