The U.S. Geological Survey is re-assessing the undiscovered uranium resource potential of roll-front mineralization in thick sequences of Paleogene and Neogene siliciclastic strata deposited along the U.S. Texas Gulf Coast. In southern Texas, 249 roll-front sandstone-hosted uranium occurrences have been identified. Of these, 102 were mined producing 81 million lbs of U3O8. Fifty-nine known...

The metallogenic target selection using multiple exploration techniques and drilling program for sandstone-hosted uranium deposits have been intensively carried out for recent years, and big progresses on new discoveries of uranium reserve/resource have been made in the Mesozoic sedimentary basins such as in Yili, Ordos etc. in North-western China
The Yili basin is a depression one within...

Advances in exploration and uranium mineral potential modelling
Oral
Mineral deposits are in fact geochemical anomalies, and as such their detection and assessment of their impact on the environment should be facilitated using geochemical techniques. Although geochemistry has been used directly in the discovery of uranium deposits and more indirectly in shaping deposit models, the novel applications of geochemistry and integration with other data can be more...

Mineral potential represents the likelihood (probability) that an economic mineral deposit could have formed in an area. Mineral potential assessment and prospectivity analysis use a probabilistic concepts to mineral deposits, where the probability of an event (formation of a mineral deposit) is conditional on two factors : i) geological processes occurring in the area, and ii) the presence of...
