Description

By discussing about the relationship between rich uranium geological body and source of uranium mineralization, analyzing the migration behavior and the main control factors of uranium under the different geological process, it is believed that the important uranium source of the oxidation-reduction mineralization mainly come from the rich geological body. However, the uranium source of hydrothermal mineralization mainly come from the extensive regional metamorphism and subsequent tectonic-magmatic activities of the lithosphere after metamorphism, the transfer of uranium from a high thermal field to a low heat field is driven by a combination of various heat and special fluids in depth, rather than the low-heat field from the surrounding mineralization of rich uranium geological body. The uranium deposits surrounding the mineralization surrounding the low-heat field. So that the rich uranium geological body is formed with the formation of uranium mineralization, it is bound to be similar or inheritable in the composition of material composition, and it is also a direct sign for prospecting endogenous uranium mine.
