A case for ''other'' geophysical methods in exploration for uranium deposits

This report demonstrates that non-radiometric geophysical methods have important applications to uranium exploration problems. Gravity, magnetic, electromagnetic, and induced-polarization surveys, conducted on regional and local scales over a wide variety of uranium deposits, are described. The geophysical data indicate that no one geophysical method will always succeed in identifying favourable areas for uranium deposits. The successful application of any geophysical method depends upon an understanding of the probable geochemical and geological environment of a uranium deposit. (author)
