AbstractAbstract
[en] This report refers to the small sedimentary basin of about 40 km2 situated east of Potamoi village (north of Drama department) within the crystalline massive of Rhodope. The results of the first phase stream sediment sampling have been very promising. The localization of a great number of radiometric anomalous horizons, mainly of arkosic composition, very rich in hematite-limonite, and with small amounts of carbonaceous material was the result of a first recognizing geological and radiometric research carried out within the area concerned. The geological formation of interest consists of alternating tough beds of different composition (fine-, medium-, course-grained arkoses, conglomerates and siltstone). The strike of these beds is about E-W and their dip about 70 deg northerly. The probable age of this formation is eocenic-oligocenic. A pair of assays from horizons with high γ-radiation have shown concentrations of easily extractable uranium between 100 and 300 ppm. The results from the research so far conducted within the area concerned lead us to the conclusion that this is a very promising area and the possibilities of localization of payable concentrations of uranium in it are very high.
