Description

The geological setting, presence of higher intrinsic uranium content in country rocks, prevailing fractures, faults and shears as conduits, hydrothermal alterations and favourable geochemical signatures suggest that Laggi Gamlin and adjoining areas are potential targets for multi-metal (U-Fe-Cu-Au-REEs)-type uranium mineralization. This finding opens up a novel target area for uranium exploration in the Khetabari Formation
