Description

At the -50 m level of Zoujiashan ore district, Xiangshan uranium ore field, uranium-bearing tuff was discovered. Chemical analysis indicates that uranium ores in such tuff may contain uranium up to 7.13%. Content of chlorite in such ores is high. Authors suggest that rich uranium ore bodies must exist at the contact between granite-porphyry and tuff at Xiangshan uranium ore field
