The Nickel Mineralizationof the Rana Mafic Intrusion, Nordland, Norway
• THE NICKEL MINERALIZATIONOF THE RANA MAFIC INTRUSION, NORDLAND, NORWAY. Rognvald Boyd and Carl 0. Mathiesen Norges geologiskeundersøkelse,Postboks 3006, 7001 Trondheim, Norway. NORGES GEOLOGISKE UNDERSØKELSE ABSTRACT The Råna synorogenicCaledonide intrusion in north Norway contains pentlandite+pyrrhotite+chalcopyrite+pyritedisseminationsgrading up tO 0.8% sulfide nickel in peridotite in the northwesternpart of the body. Peridotite and pyroxenite occur as bands and lenses within a peripheral zone mainly of norite, around a core mainly of quartz-norite.Crystal settling appears to have been an important process at Råna but over much of the intrusion primary structureshave been severely disturbed by the later Caledonian fold phases which also involved local overthrusting: these movements resulted in iniolding and thrustingof units of semipel- itic and calesilicate gneiss and black schist into the intrusion.The body has the form of an inverted, possibly truncated cone with its axiS plunging northwestwardsat a moderate angle. The peridotites show no obvioUs systematicvariation of sulfide or silicate mineralogy across strike. Locally, ass&iated with certain deformation zones, disseminationpasses into ma3sive mobilized sulfide ti with up to 5% nickel. The proximity of sulfide-bearingblack schists to mineralized rocks, the occurrence of graphite djsseminated in peridotite and other factors, suggest assimilationof sulfur from the Country rocks. Sulfur isotope studies do not, however, offer confirmationof the hypo- thesis that an external source ot sulfur nas had more than very local significanceat Råna. 1 NORGES GEOLOGISKE UNDERSØKELSE • INTRODUCTION The Råna mafic intrusion lies at approximately68°30'N, in steep mountainous terrain 20 km soutnwest of the iron-ore port of Narvik in north Norway (Fig.1).The present paper will give a brief description of the general geology of the complex, with a more detailed consider- ation of the sulfide-bearingareas - especially the main one at Bruvann (Fig.2) - and of the cenetic implicationsinvolved.

We have also deduced a new model based on the ‘seismic pumping’ mechanism to explain the observed correlation between land uplift and groundwater yield in Norway. Rock avalanches and landslides represent the most hazardous effects of earthquakes in Norway with its mountainous terrain, deep fjords and relatively large areas with unstable quick-clay. New seismic mini-arrays in the Ranafjord area and the northern North Sea have sharply defined zones of increased seismicity. A total of 350 earthquakes have been detected in the outer Ranafjord area during the project period (2½ years), with magnitudes up to 2.8.

The Lillevik Dyke Complex, Narvik: Geochemistry and Tectonic Implications of a Probable Ophiolite Fragment in the Caledonides of the Ofoten Region, North Norway
The Lillevik dyke complex, Narvik: geochemistry and tectonic implications of a probable ophiolite fragment in the Caledonides of the Ofoten region, North Norway ROGNVALD BOYD Boyd, R.: The Lillevik dyke complex, Narvik: geochemistry and tectonic implications of a probable ophiolite fragment in the Caledonides of the Ofoten region, North Norway. Norsk Geologisk Tidsskrift, Vol. 63, pp. 39-54. Oslo 1983, ISSN 0029-196X. The Lillevik dyke complex occurs in an allochthonous unit and shows field relationships indicative of a transition from the mafic cumulate to the sheeted dyke zone in a segment of an ophiolite. Major and trace element chemistry confirm the MORB character of most of the diabases. Certain diabase, gabbro and trondhjemite dykes have REE patterns suggesting a later stage of ocean-island volcanism. The Lillevik complex and equivalent bodies along strike on the eastern limb of the Ofoten synform are a probable source for the mafic facies of the overlying Elvenes Conglomerate. Analogies with other areas suggest that the Lillevik complex was obducted during the Finnmarkian orogeny. R. Boyd, Norges geologiske undersøkelse, Postboks 3006, N-7001 Trondheim, Norway.

Kartleggingen har som formål å gi en oversikt over utbredelsen og typen av løsmasser i området samt prosesser som virker på disse og som kan forårsake skred. Identifisering av tidligere skred og områder hvor det foregår aktiv erosjon er vektlagt. Resultatene danner et grunnlag for videre geotekniske undersøkelser, skredfarevurderinger og sikringstiltak. Kartleggingen viser at finkornige hav- og fjordavsetninger finnes flere steder i det kartlagte området, hovedsakelig langs og på dalsidene, men også enkelte steder hvor Elvegårdselva og Prestjordelva har erodert ned i slike avsetninger. Det er hovedsaklig langs disse elvene det er aktiv erosjon i dag. Ellers er det kartlagt større områder med breelv og elveavsetninger, samt strandavsetninger i overflaten. Finkornige hav- og fjordavsetninger ligger trolig under disse flere steder og på varierende dyp. Selve Bjerkvik sentrum ligger oppå grovere elveavsetninger (delta) med tykkelse på ~5 - > 15 m. Større breelvavsetninger finnes lengst i nord ved Storskogmoen og i øst ved Elvegårdsmoen. Spor av tidligere skredaktivitet i hav- og fjordavsetninger er kartlagt i områdene Rapdalen, Elvelund og Myrvang.

NARVIK – Norwegian Eldorado for Wreck-Divers Wrecks of Narvik
NARVIK – Norwegian Eldorado for wreck-divers Wrecks of Narvik Text by Erling Skjold (history and diving) and Frank Bang (diving) Underwater photography by Frank Bang Ship photography by Erling Skjolds, NSA collection Translation by Michael Symes Dieter von Roeder The port of Narvik in north Norway was established around the export of iron-ore from Sweden. This was due to the very good harbour and its ice-free con- ditions. At the outbreak of World War II, Narvik was a strategically important harbour, and during the first few days of the war a very intense battle was fought out here between German, Norwegian and British naval forces. During this fighting several ships were sunk, both warships and civil merchant ships. Narvik harbour was transformed into a great ship ceme- tery, with wrecks sticking up out of the water every- where. Several of the ships were later salvaged, but many wrecks still remained. With its high density of wrecks, Narvik is an eldorado for wreck divers.

Mottaker: Evenes kommune Narvik kommune Ballangen kommune Tysfjord kommune Hamarøy kommune Fauske, 03.8.2019 Følgende organisasjoner har sluttet seg til uttalelsen: • Norsk Ornitologisk Forening avd. Nordland (NOF Nordland) • Norges Jeger- og Fiskerforbund Nordland (NJFF Nordland) • Naturvernforbundet i Nordland Vi beklager sent høringsinnspill, og håper våre merknader blir tatt med. Vi vil uansett følge opp dette i innspillsgruppene og i det videre planarbeid. Innspill til planprogram – interkommunal kystsoneplan for Evenes, Narvik, Ballangen, Tysfjord og Hamarøy Viser til høring av planprogram for interkommunal kystsoneplan for Evenes, Narvik, Ballangen, Tysfjord og Hamarøy. Kommunene har startet en interkommunal planprosess for å utarbeide en kystsoneplan for felles kystområder og fjordsystem. Bakgrunnen for planarbeidet er et ønske om en forutsigbar og bærekraftig forvaltning av sjøarealene. Arbeidet er organisert etter plan- og bygningsloven kapittel 9 interkommunalt plansamarbeid og det er opprettet et eget styre med en politisk valgt representant fra hver kommune. Dette styret har mottatt delegert myndighet fra kommunestyrene/ Bystyret til å varsle oppstart, fastsette planprogram og legge planforslag ut på høring. Endelig planprogram skal fastsettes i september 2019, og endelig vedtak av plan vil være september 2020. Planprosessen bygger på FNs bærekraftsmål og planprogrammet skisserer tre fokusområder for det videre arbeidet med planarbeidet. Dette er: • Akvakultur og fiskeri • Reise - og friluftsliv • Ferdsel __________________________________________________________________________________ forum for Forum for natur og friluftsliv i Nordland natur og Eiaveien 5, 8208 Fauske friluftsliv [email protected] / 90 80 61 46 Nordland www.fnf-nett.no/nordland Org. nr.: 983267998 FNF Nordlands merknader til planprogrammet FNF Nordland viser til de gode uttalelsene fra Narvik og Omegn JFF, Naturvernforbundet i Narvik og slutter oss til disse.
