Description

The author introduces the tectonic pattern and tectonic division, sedimentary features of Late Tertiary, and the classification of the oxidation zone in sedimentary cover, and discusses development features of the oxidation zone and its relationship with uranium mineralization in Yingjiang basin. It is considered that the uranium mineralization types related with ground water interlayer oxidation zones, ground water interlayer paleo-oxidation zones located above the water-blocking faults are the main types of sandstone uranium deposits
