Role of airborne surveys for uranium exploration in India

Energy is deeply implicated in each of the economic, social and environmental dimensions of human development. The prosperity that economic development brings, in turn, stimulates demand for better quality energy services. With growing demand of sustainable clean energy resources worldwide, share of nuclear energy in energy basket of India has to be increased considerably in a short time. The impetus in uranium exploration activity over last few decades has significantly added to knowledge of uranium geology and nature of Uranium deposits. Bulk of the world uranium resources are attributed to Proterozoic Uranium unconformity related deposits of Canada and Australia, Middle Proterozoic Iron Oxide Breccia Complex (JOB) and Phanerozoic sandstone type Uranium deposits. Proterozoic and Phanerozoic basins of India have shown promising results in hosting uranium deposits which are located by extensive exploration efforts
