Description

By processing the survey data on soil radon activity concentration at Wenjialiang area, the anomalous areas of soil radon activity concentration are delineated, two EW-trending anomalous zones are positioned in the important predicted metallogenic districts in the survey areas, i.e. Bianjiaqu-Xujialiang-Xianfeng Party No.3-Wenjiawan-Pijianghao anomalous zone and Nongsheng Party No.4-Selian Party No.3 anomalous zone. It is proved that regional soil radon activity concentration survey can realize the purpose to rapidly evaluate the searching for sandstone-type uranium deposit in Mesozoic to Proterozoic basin in North China.
