Potential resource evaluation of sandstone-type uranium by the method of comprehensive geological information of typical deposit: A case study of interlayer oxidation zone type uranium deposit in the south of Yili basin

According to the principle the comprehensive geological information, and the characters of sandstone-type uranium mineralization, the authors summarized the method of uranium resource evaluation and applied it to the interlayer oxidation zone type uranium deposit in the south of Yili basin. Through data collection and analysis, construction of prediction evaluation model, assemblage and screening of the prediction variables, calculation of ore-formation favorability delineation of prediction zone, and the estimation of resource amount, the interlayer oxidation zone type uranium resource in the south of Yili basin is quantitatively evaluated in this paper.
