Description

Report describing the results of a literature search, a limited chemical analytical program, and visits to three alkaline-rock localities intended to establish criteria for determining if a site had uranium resource potential. The criteria were applied to various sites in the U.S.; those results are also reported, with additional information about ongoing study.

Abstract: Geologic and geochemical criteria were developed for the occurrence of economic uranium deposits in alkaline igneous rocks. A literature search, a limited chemical analytical program, and visits to three prominent alkaline-rock localities (Ilfmaussaq, Greenland; Pogos de Caldas, Brazil; and Powderhorn, Colorado) were made to establish criteria to determine if a site had some uranium resource potential. From the literature, four alkaline-intrusive occurrences of differing character were identified as type-localities for uranium mineralization, and the important aspects of these localities were described. These characteristics were used to categorize and evaluate U.S. occurrences. The literature search disclosed 69 U.S. sites, encompassing nepheline syenite, alkaline granite, and carbonatite. It was possible to compare two-thirds of these sites to the type localities. A ranking system identified ten of the sites as most likely to have uranium resource potential. Further study is needed of the petrology, mineralogy, and geochemistry of sites of known uranium mineralization. Interpretation of these new data will strengthen the important criteria to judge the uranium potential of U.S. alkaline igneous rocks.
