Uranium exploration worldwide is once again growing. Exploration geologists are looking for unconformity related uranium deposits, the most common deposit type and well-known from the Canadian Athabasca Basin in Saskatchewan, the largest uranium resource with the higest known grades to date. Other types of deposits include: 1. Hematite breccia 2. Sandstone 3. Quartz-pebble 4. Surficial 5. Vein 6. Volcanic and caldera-related 7. Intrusive 8. Metasomite 9. Collapse breccia pipe 10.Phosphorite 11.Metmorphic 12.Lignite, and 13.Black shale The oreXpress and EZ-ID mineral identification software, are well-suited for exploration geologists looking for all types of uranium deposits.
Their rugged, field portable spectrometers can help geologists identify distinct geochemical signatures, alteration halos, associated with uranium mineralization. The following minerals are a few that can be identified and associated with alteration halos ... Uraninite Sericite Chlorite Kaolinite Illite Dickite Pyrite Chalcopyrite Every oreXpress includes our DARWin SP Data Acquisition software and is available with EZ-ID and the Custom Library Builder Module. EZ-ID allows you to compare your target sample with a known library of mineral spectra. EZ-ID comes with the USGS spectral library and is available with the SpecMIN library from Spectral International. EZ-ID features ... 1. Fast and accurate identification of an unknown mineral to a known spectral library sample 2. Ease-of-use: take your scan using an oreXpress or oreXpress platinum and see results in real-time 3. Simple, consistent user interface 4. USGS and SpecMIN libraries available 5. Weighted score for best matches 6. Include or exclude spectral regions of interest for optimal results Using an oreXpress with EZ-ID delivers the following benefits for exploration geologists exploring for uranium: 1. Quickly take a lot of samples 2. Cover more ground in less time 3.
