Recent investigations have brought out significant uranium occurrences (up to 0 65% U308)spread over as discontinuous zones (up to 300 m × 280 m × 1-3 m) over an area of about 7 km × 2 km along the northern part of Palnadu Sub-Basin. The radioactive zones are exposed along the Upper Proterozoic unconformity contact between the basement granite and the Banganapalle quartzite near Lavur Tanda, Jaitram Tanda, Boligutta Tanda, Rallavagu Tanda and Gandhi Nagar villages in Nalgonda district, Andhra Pradesh. These findings are reported in this note along with some features of mineralisation.

Abstract


Recent investigations have brought out significant uranium occurrences (up to 0 65% U308)spread over as discontinuous zones (up to 300 m × 280 m × 1-3 m) over an area of about 7 km × 2 km along the northern part of Palnadu Sub-Basin. The radioactive zones are exposed along the Upper Proterozoic unconformity contact between the basement granite and the Banganapalle quartzite near Lavur Tanda, Jaitram Tanda, Boligutta Tanda, Rallavagu Tanda and Gandhi Nagar villages in Nalgonda district, Andhra Pradesh. These findings are reported in this note along with some features of mineralisation.
