Basaltic andesites of Precambrian age are reported and described for the first time from Garo Hills, Meghalaya. These volcanics occur as xenoliths within Proterozoic granitoids. Petromineralogical and petrochemkal characters of the volcanics revealed them to be basaltic andesite. The basaltic andesite are observed both as porphyritic and aphyric types.- Sandstone-Type Uranium Mineralisation in the Early Tertiary Sedimentary Sequence in Tarol-Maltu Area, Solan District, Himachal Pradesh

Ground radiometric survey carried out in the early Tertiary Dagshai-Kasauli Formations in the northwestern foothill Himalaya has led to the discovery of uranium mineralised sandstone bands extending for about (a) 500 m, with 5-10 m width, at Tarol, 8 km southwest of Solan and (b) 250 m, with 4-7 m width, at Maltu, 6.5 km southwest of Solan, in the Solan district of Himachal Pradesh. Grab samples from (a) Tarol assayed up to 1.41% eU3O8, 1.65% U3O8 (β/γ) and <0.005% Tho2 and (b) Maltu assayed up to 0.24% eU3O8, 0.28% U3O8 (β/γ) and 2. In both the localities, majority of the samples show disequilibrium in favour of parent (uranium). Uraninite and uranophane are the main uranium minerals, which occur in close association with disseminated pellets of organic matter.Keywords

Black shale type uranium deposits, though of low grade (<0.001 to 0.05% U3O8), contain large uranium resources because of their immense volume. The Neoproterozoic-Cambrian Krol-Tal Himalayan sequence covering a cumulative area of about 1000 sq km in five different synclinal basins from Sirmour district, Himachal Pradesh in the west to Nainital district, Uttar Pradesh in east contain such black shale horizons. The uranium mineralisation found in black shale in the Nigalidhar syncline of Himachal Pradesh and its implication of being an indicator for search of such uranium deposits in Himalayas is discussed.Keywords

The Dargawan gabbros intrusive into the Moli Subgroup of Bijawar Group, yielded Rb-Sr whole rock isochron age of 1967 ± 140 Ma. Based on the oldest age from overlying Lower Vindhyan (1.6Ga) and the underlying youngest basement ages (2.2 Ga), the time range of Bijawar sedimentation may be assigned as 2.1-1.6 Ga (Paleoproterozoic). Sm-Nd Model ages (TDM), obtained, for Dargawan gabbros, is c. 2876 - 3145 Ma. High initial 87Sr/ 86Sr ratio of 0.70451 (higher than the contemporary mantle) and negative εNdi (at 1.9 Ga) value of -1.5 to -4.5, indicate assimilation of Archaean lower crustal component by the enriched mantle source magma at the time of gabbroic intrusion. The dolerite, from Damdama area, which is intrusive into the basement and overlying sediments of Chandrapur Group in the central Indian craton, yielded Rb-Sr internal isochron age of 1641 ± 120 Ma. The high initial 87Sr/86Sr ratio of 0.7098 and εNdi value of -3.5 to -3.7 (at 1.6 Ga) is due to contamination of the mantle source magma with the overlying sediments. These dolerites have younger Sm-Nd Model ages (TDM) than Dargawan gabbros as c. 2462 - 2675 Ma, which is similar to the age of the Sambalpur granite, from which probably sediments to this part of Chattisgarh basin are derived. Hence mixing of sediments with the Damdama dyke during its emplacement, gives rise to high initial 87Sr/86Sr and low initial 143Nd/144 ratios for these dykes. The c. 1600 Ma age indicates minimum age of onset of the sedimentation in the Chandrapur Group of Chattisgarh basin. Both the above mafic intrusions might have taken place in an intracratonic rift related (anorogenic) tectonic setting. This study is the first reliable age report on the onset of sedimentation in the Chandrapur Group. The total minimum time span of Chandrapur and Raipur Group may be 1.6 Ga to 1.0 Ga (Mesoproterozoic). The unconformably underlying Shingora Group of rocks of Chhattisgarh Supergroup thus indicates Paleoproterozoic age (older than 1.6 Ga). Most part of the recently classified Chattisgarh Supergroup and Bijawar- Vindhyan sequence are of Mesoproterozoic-Paleoproterozoic age and not of Neoproterozoic-Mesoproterozoic age as considered earlier. Petrographic study of basic dykes from Damdama area (eastern margin of Chattisgarh Supergroup) indicated presence of primary uranium mineral brannerite associated with goethite. This is the evidence of mafic intrusive providing geotherm and helping in scavenging the uranium from the surrounding and later alterations causing remobilisation and reconcentration of pre-existing uranium in host rocks as well as in mafic dyke itself otherwise mafic rocks are poor source of uranium and can not have primary uranium minerals initially. It can be concluded that mafic dykes have role in uranium mineralisation although indirectly.Keywords
