Nanling Structural Systems as Uraniun Ore-Controlling Structures
Abstract:In Nanling area there are the meridional structural systems, the Cathaysian structural systems and the Neocathaysian structural systems etc. Besides the predominat-ing latitudinal structural systems. This area occupies the first place in chinafor the nu-merousness of uranium occurrences and the large reserves and wide variety of uranium de-posits, which are closely associated with and genetically related to the tectonic develop-ment and the various structural systems as demonstrated by the following facts:1)The structural systems control the uranium-bearing strata and igneous bodies;2)The com-pounding of structural systems controls the distribution of uranium ore fields(districts);3)Different structual systems control different types of uranium deposits;and 4)Uranium orebodies are controlled by structures of lower order and generation as well as by mechani-cal characters of structural planes.
