Deposit formation model – The same basic ingredients as nearly all uranium deposits:
Oxidizing fluids transport hexavalent U scavenged from basement or basement-derived rocks (Migmatites or sediments) Carbonaceous organic matter in Dismal Unit 12 shales acted reductant; interpreted that reduced fluids from overlying unit 12 entered unit 11 sandstones and created redox conditions.
Oxidized fluids meet redox boundary, U3O8 reduced to tetravalent state and precipitates in open space.
Structurally-controlled, higher-grade mineralization:
Extensive land package with an historic uranium deposit and over 40 prospects identified
