Geology and mineralogy of the Gaertner and Deilman uranium-nickel ore bodies in the Key Lake area, Canada
Description
The Key Lake deposits lay south-east of the Athabasca region north of Saskatchewan. The ore bodies were discovered in 1975 and 1976. They are to be found in a zone going NE-SW right through the crystalline basement and the superposed Athabasca sandstone formation. The main mineralisation consists of uranium oxides and nickel sulfides/arsenides. Occasionally quartz and carbonates are to be found. Investigations on the drilling results are reported on. (orig.)
Abstract (German)
Die Key Lake-Lagerstaette befindet sich am Suedostrand des Athabasca-Beckens im Norden Saskatchewans. Die Erzkoerper wurden 1975 und 1976 entdeckt. Sie liegen in etwa NE-SW streichenden Stoerungszonen, die das kristalline Basement ebenso wie die darueberliegenden Athabasca-Sandsteinformation durchsetzen. Die Hauptmineralisation besteht aus Uranoxiden und aus Nickelsulfiden/arseniden. Gelegentlich treten Quarz und Karbonate als Gangart auf. Ueber die Untersuchungen aufgrund der Bohrergebnisse wird berichtet. (orig.)Additional details
