The sandstone-hosted Beverley uranium deposit is located in terrestrial sediments in the Lake Frome basin in the North Flinders Ranges, South Australia. The deposit is 13 km from the U-rich Mesoproterozoic basement of the Mount Painter inlier, which is being uplifted 100 to 200 m above the basin by neotectonic activity that probably initiated in the early Pliocene. The mineralization was deposi...

Petrographic study of the Frewens sandstone, Upper Cretaceous Frontier Formation, documents reservoir-scale diagenetic heterogeneity. Iron-bearing calcite cement occurs as large concretions that generally follow bedding and are most common near the top of the sandstone. Median thickness of the concretions is 0.6 m, length 4.5 m, and width 5.7 m; median volume is 5.2 m. Concretions comprise 12% ...

The late Early Permian (273–271 Ma) Wandrawandian Siltstone in the southern Sydney Basin of New South Wales represents a marine highstand that can be correlated over 2000 km. A mainly fine-grained terrigenous clastic succession, the Wandrawandian Siltstone contains evidence for cold, possibly glacial conditions based on the presence of outsized clasts and glendonites, mineral pseudomorphs after...

The article considers the geological features and ore composition of Dyusembay Central (Sayakhat) leadzinc deposit in Karsakpai metallogenic complex Kazakhstan. Historically, was considered industrially significant terms iron ores, rather than lead, zinc, copper. It is shown that composed tuffaceous, silty-sandstone, carbonaceous-terrigenous (ore-hosting), terrigenous, volcanogenic rocks assign...

Extensive development in the St. George, Utah area resulted in the temporary exposure of fresh rock at and near the St. George Dinosaur Discovery Site at Johnson Farm (SGDS), facilitating examination and description of the Lower Jurassic stratigraphy of the vicinity in some detail. Since this study, construction has covered much of what we observed, making this the only detailed record of the M...

The Quseir Formation is an Upper Cretaceous (Campanian) deposit in the Kharga oasis of Southwestern Desert (Egypt). This formation comprises a clastic sequence bioturbated mudstone and sandstone intercalations, including rare scattered fragmented vertebrate remains such as shark teeth, dinosaur remains, turtle plates. These deposits indicate supratidal marsh environment. A complete shell discov...

The purpose of this work was to use different surfactants deposit crystalline calcium carbonate films on the surface sandstone through a simple double displacement reaction. This done test protective effects coatings based water absorption, moisture permeability and weather resistance. Experimental results showed that air stone treated with vaterite reduced, but did not affect vapor’s access in...

The Erlian basin is one of the most important basins in northern China to host sandstone-type uranium deposits (SUDs), which Bayanwula, Saihangaobi, and Hadatu are under development, name a few. Issues such as metallogenic mechanism mineralization these need be addressed throughout mining process. Over past several decades, 2D 3D seismic reflection surveys have been carried out study typical SU...

In view of the problems high acid consumption, blockage ore-bearing beds caused by iron ion precipitation and a low leaching rate in conventional sandstone-type uranium deposit, author put forward “low-acid oxygen technology” research. order to further clarify mechanism ore with oxygen, oxidation ferrous under acidic conditions, influencing factors process, kinetic simulation oxidizing minerals...

Pulsed column experiments using Co, fulvic acid and porous sediment packing, along with up/down-flooding experiments using Eu, humic acid and intact sandstone blocks have been performed. The elution of metal and humic and their distribution along the sandstone columns have been measured. A mixed equilibrium and kinetic coupled chemical transport model has been used to simulate the results. In b...
