Soil radon measurement and component of the geochemical measurement to integrated search for deep concealed uranium deposits

This paper introduces two methods of soil radon measurement and component of the geochemical measurement on deep concealed uranium deposits. Above the known concealed uranium ore body, Soil anomaly shows that the area has better occurrence condition; U element of component geochemical and Mo, W, Ni, Cd elements of component geochemical are composite anomalies; the correlation coefficients of soil and geochemical elements were all less than 0.5, indicating that soil radon and elements of component of the geochemical measurement were not significant; but the correlation coefficients of U and Mo, W, Bi, Ni, Cd, Ca, Zn, Ba elements of component geochemical were 0.52, 0.55, 0.56, 0.57, 0.89, 0.68, 0.82, 0.57, which showed that the correlation between U elements and the above elements was significant; soil Rn measurement can effectively identify (concealed) crack, and component of the geochemical measurement can directly capture the information of deep uranium deposits.
