- Purpose
- The purpose is to provide geochemical analytical results for GEUS rock samples as a consolidated digital dataset to support professional use such as geological mapping, geochemical interpretation, ore-geological assessment and mineral exploration, with traceability to the sample registration and associated metadata in GimmeX.

- Data are provided by GEUS as an extract from GimmeX and contain raw geochemical analytical results for rock samples from Greenland. Analytical results and data quality may vary between laboratories and methods, and the dataset is not necessarily harmonised across analytical sources; users must perform their own professional assessment before merging and interpretation. Positional accuracy of sample locations is variable, especially for samples collected before 1997, and original location maps archived at GEUS may be required where high positional accuracy is needed. Please cite GEUS when using the data and, where relevant, refer to the associated GEUS reports for documentation of methods and data basis.

- Supplemental Information
- The dataset includes historical and more recent samples and both analytical types and data quality may vary between laboratories and methods. The dataset provides raw analytical results and is not necessarily harmonised across sources; users should assess suitability for merging between analytical sources based on the method/source information documented in the tables. Positional accuracy is variable, especially for older samples, and samples collected before 1997 may require verification against original location maps if precise positioning is needed.

- Statement
- The data originate from GEUS collection and analysis of rock samples in Greenland as part of multiple activities and projects. Sample information and analytical results are stored in GEUS databases and are delivered as a digital extract from the GimmeX information system. Sampling was carried out without a systematic rock sampling design, and analytical tables are organised by analytical type/method. Location information and sample descriptions derive from field registrations; GPS has been used since 1997, while older locations were read or digitised from topographic maps and may have been adjusted between map bases using a mathematical transformation. Users should note that sample positions collected before 1997 may be less accurate, and if high positional accuracy is required the original sample location maps archived at GEUS should be consulted. The dataset provides raw analytical results and accuracy/precision may vary by laboratory and method; results below the detection limit may be coded in a specific way (e.g., as 0) in the analytical tables.
