Description

In the process of working towards energy independence there is a need to investigate in detail the extension areas of present occurrences an also identify potential areas of mineralisation with similar geological conditions elsewhere. Therefore, a judicious and pragmatic path of geoscientific investigation is envisaged to understand the nature of mineralisatin of uranium particularly in the unconformity proximal deposits, as it accounts for more than 35% of the total uranium resources. These deposits are spatially and temporally associated with the Lower-Middle proterozoic formations
