简介:查汗通古凹陷为库米什盆地北西端一个山间小凹陷,位于富铀古生代花岗岩基底之上。中侏罗统西山窑组赋存有厚度巨大的超低品位砂岩型铀矿化。从铀源、含矿建造、构造演化、氧化带、铀矿化特征等方面进行论述,认为该区铀源丰富。西山窑组属一套冲积扇体系的含碳碎屑岩建造,砂体发育,含矿层为第二、第三、第四等3个岩性段。构造演化上存在中侏罗世、渐新世两次沉降接受沉积过程,及晚侏罗-始新世、中新-全新世两次抬升剥蚀过程。西山窑组第一、第五岩性段发育面状潜水氧化带,第二、第三、第四等3个岩性段局部发育氧化带’铀矿化产于氧化。还原过渡带附近,多为砂岩型,少量泥岩型。成矿后压实与构造挤压作用使砂体胶结致密,现有技术条件下难以地浸开采铀。
