Abstract

Abstract

Over the past decades, the target strata for sandstone-type uranium exploration in China have gradually shifted from early grayish-black uranium-bearing series to reddish-variegated uranium-bearing series. Due to the significant differences in the sedimentary paleoclimates in which these two types formed and developed, there is a substantial variation in the reducing capacity of the uranium-bearing series, which in turn fundamentally affects the scale of regional interlayer oxidation zones, directly restricting the prediction of prospective areas and prospecting targets. In light of this, in this paper, based on the study of uranium-bearing series in arid depositional backgrounds across multiple sedimentary basins, and using uranium-bearing series with warm and humid depositional background as a reference, it systematically summarizes the basic characteristics and uranium mineralization patterns of reddish-variegated uranium-bearing series, and proposes key scientific issues and exploration prediction suggestions. The study suggests that sedimentary paleoclimate, through its coupling with the paleoenvironment, directly affects the abundance of organic reducing media in uranium-bearing series, thus restricting uranium mineralization. Therefore, it is necessary to classify uranium-bearing rock series into two extreme types: grayish-black and reddish-variegated, based on sedimentary paleoclimate and paleoenvironment. The two extreme types of uranium-bearing series are fundamentally different. The reddish-variegated uranium-bearing series has two important characteristics that restrict uranium mineralization: firstly, an overall lack of organic reducing media, with low contents of TOC, S_total, and FeO; secondly, more complex and diverse lithogeochemical types of uranium reservoir sand bodies. Owing to the lack of organic reducing media, inorganic reducing media in uranium reservoirs play a significant role in uranium mineralization, and their genetic evolution and distribution patterns are well-documented. Furthermore, external reducing media formed by sedimentary facies changes can compensate for insufficient internal reducing capacity and play a decisive role in the spatial positioning of regional interlayer oxidation zones and uranium mineralization-sedimentary facies changes preferentially control mineralization. The epigenetic oxidation alteration of the reddish-variegated uranium-bearing series appears "weak", mainly manifested as banded, spotted, and grayish-white oxidation. Being large in scale, the oxidation zones are a superposition of secondary and primary oxidation, and often extend into the hinterland of the basin. The reddish-variegated uranium-bearing series belongs to a new type of uranium-bearing series, and there is an urgent need to explore the ore-controlling mechanism of inorganic reducing media, establish environmental parameter standards for evaluating inorganic reducing media, and summarize the identification marks of primary and epigenetic oxidation. In uranium exploration and prediction, it is not only necessary to accurately locate the integral gray reducing geological body and correctly identify the "weak" oxidation zone, but also to break with convention and enter the hinterland of the basin to carry out prediction and evaluation.
