The Kap Edvard Holm intrusive complex consists of layered mafic cumulates and minor wehrlitic bodies, diabasic dikes, and syenitic intrusions exposed over a 15 ร— 25 km area of alpine mountains, nunataks, and islands in the Kangerdlugssuaq region of East Greenland (Arnarson & Bird 2000). A stratiform layer, 1 to 20 m thick and > 6 km long, is mineralized with gold and platinum-group elements (PGEs).
