Description

Based on the analysis of geological backgrounds in Zhuguangshan ore field, this paper discussed the metallogenic character and ore-forming fluid features of the uranium deposits and summarized the metallogenic model. Precambrian basement, Indo-Chinese and Yanshan epoch granite mass which is the uranium sources, were altered and extracted by upper mantle hydrothermal fluid and generated the ore-forming fluid. Mineralization is controlled by Late Mesozoic outstretch structure and deep focus hydrothermal fluid. 3 metallogenetic types were classified in this ore field: crack alteration granite veinlet disseminations type, silicate crack granite vein type and dynamic breccia vein type.
