Abstract

A small CuCoAu occurrence was found by means of till geochemistry. The metal anomalies in the till are highly local and the fineness of the gold grains and their association with goethite suggest that Au may first have been dissolved and then reprecipitated. The till very probably contains remnants of an older preglacial weathering crust. There are also high concentrations of Cu, Co, As, Mo and Zn in the humus horizon. Only one humus sample had a Au content above the detection limit, 0.02 ppm. The heavy-mineral samples from the near-surface part of the till proved useful in the regional prospecting phase.
