Deposit Type |
Sandstone - Basal Channel | ||
Geological Setting |
Lithology: Permeable low consolidated Neogene fluvial sediments, which fill paleovalleys.The basement is presented by Paleozoic granite. Ore hosting sediments are overlapped by Neogene-Quaternary basalt. Alteration: oxidation Hostrock Age: Neogene | ||
Age of Mineralization |
25m.y. | ||
Mineralization |
Ore Mineralogy: Dispersed pitchblende, coffinite, sooty pitchblende. Mineralization Description: Deposit consists of 7 subparallel ore bodies situated to 1 km one from the other and controlled by the paleo channel. Ore bodies are 500 to 4000m long, 30 to 200m wide, 5 to 13m thick. Ore Controls: valleys filled with oxidized Tertiary continental clastic sediments | ||
