Description

Songliao basin is a Meso-Cenozoic continental basin superimposed on the Hercynian fold belt. Shebotu area is located in the southwest of Songliao basin where three sandstone beds exist in Neogene loose sediments. Regional interlayer oxidation zones of various scale are developed in sand bodies. Drilling has revealed that typical interlayer oxidation zone is developed in sand body No.II in Yushutun, and the redox zone is associated with the secondary concentration of uranium and molybdenum. This discovery presents bright prospects for the final progress in uranium prospecting in Songliao basin
