Description

The main uranium deposits and occurrences in the Argentine Republic are described, considering, in principle, their geologic setting, the kind of 'model' of the mineralization and its possible origin, and describing the ore species present in each case. The main uraniferous accumulations of the country include the models of 'sandstong type', veintype and impregnation type. There are also other kinds of accumulations, as in calcrete, etc. The main uranium production has been registered in the provinces of Mendoza, Salta, La Rioja, Chubut, Cordoba and San Luis. In each case, the minerals present are mentioned, having been recognized 37 different species all over the country (M.E.L.)

Abstract (Spanish)

Las principales acumulaciones uraniferas del pais responden a los modelos de 'contenidos en areniscas', del tipo vetiforme e impregnacion. Hay tambien acumulaciones de otro caracter, como en caliches, etc. La produccion principal de uranio se ha registrado en las provincias de Mendoza, Salta, La Rioja, Chubut, Cordoba y San Luis.
