Ore-forming environment identification and uranium metallogenic features in Manite depression

By using limonitization, the important indicator of uranium ore-forming identification as the product of acid water transportation from the reducing environment to the oxidation environment, based on the specimen examination naked eye, microscopic identification, electron microscopy, electron microprobe were used to study the major elements, trace elements, organic carbon, total sulfur, uranium valence and uranium, thorium isotope ²³⁴U/²³⁸U, ²³⁰Th/²³²Th ratio, hydrocarbons especially clay mineral species and the total amount, V/(V + Ni) water stratification and bottom hydrodynamic environment and other factors, which can indicate the microphase environment of all types of rocks in Manite depression, and uranium ore-forming factors were identified and evaluation are discussed and some suggestions were submitted.
