What are the different phases involved in Uranium exploration?
Phases Of Uranium Exploration Phase Steps Involved Phase-I Geological favourability of the terrain. Phase-II Landsat imagery/air-photo interpretation & rapid reconnaissance over key areas. Phase-III • Airborne Radiometric Survey and Delineation of anamalous areas and preparation of U, Th, K Contour Maps. • Regional Geochemical Surveys. • Reconnaissance Radiometric Survey-Foot/Car-borne. Phase-IV Evaluation of anomaly (preliminary) from Phase-III. • Iso-red mapping. • Trenching. • Pitting. • Sampling. • Sample Assay (U3O8). • Uranium Mineralogy & Hot Rock Characters. • Exploratory Drilling. Phase-V • Evaluation Drilling (detailed), Grid wise or constrained by local geological and physiographic conditions. • Uranium mineralogy of core samples and geochemistry of host and barren rock and leachability studies. Phase-VI Ground Geophysics, random survey and detailed geochemistry (soil) survey for soil covered extension areas to narrow down target areas for drilling. Phase-VII Exploratory min
