Uranium Deposits Of The World (Hardcover)

Uranium Deposits of the World gathers and presents a massive collection of data on the location, quality and accessibility of uranium resources in nearly every region of the globe. Incorporating the latest findings, including much newly available material, this is the most comprehensive reference work yet produced on the topic. The coverage goes further, offering expert overviews and fine-grained analysis of the economic viability of ore deposits. This exhaustive, up-to-date reference is designed for practical use, and arranged by four geographic regions: Asia; USA and Latin America; Europe; and Australia-Oceania and Africa. Each region and country is introduced with an analytical overview, followed by a detailed geologically- and economically- relevant synopsis of its individual regions and ore fields. The data includes location and magnitude of uranium districts and deposits; principal features of the districts; and characteristics of selected deposits. Abundantly illustrated with maps and useful charts, the descriptions of districts and deposits include sections on geology, alteration, mineralogy, shape and dimensions, ore controls or recognition criteria, and metallogenic aspects. A typological classification of deposits gives an overview of principal criteria of deposit types and related nomenclature.
