Mesozoic and Cenozoic formations uraniferous activity. Chapter 3

The main features of geological structure and history of forming Mesozoic and Cenozoic structure and formations complexes are given. Forming of Mesozoic-Cenozoic Depressive structures had been going on under the condition of infiltrations regime of artesian basins with forming of regional ground and stratum oxidation zones in Zhalpak and Paleogenic sediments which are including uranium deposits belonging to four uranium ore formation. The main raw materials base and extraction of uranium by in-situ leaching method are connected with deposits of epigenetic uranium-ore formation of regional stratum oxidation zones. There are most important deposits: Maikuduk, Inkai, Zhalpak, Uvanas, Suluchekenskoe, Koldzatskoe, Nizhneilyiskoe. All deposits are described according to same plan: stratigraphy, tectonic structure, hydrogeology, hydrochemics, uranium mineralization, morphology of deposits, mineral compound of ores, geologic characteristics of ores, genetics. Except uranium, the main deposit component, there is an information about the accompanied elements: rhenium, selenium, rare-earth ones, industrial concentration of which are in competitions with the same elements extracted from ores
