Large-scale sandstone-type uranium deposit in aeolian sediments.

The primary ore-hosting stratum in the Pengyang uranium deposit is the Lower Cretaceous Luohe Formation, exhibiting a complete sedimentary system comprising fluvial facies, aeolian–aqueous interactive facies, and typical aeolian facies deposits. Among these, the aeolian facies sandstones constitute the main lithological unit of the Luohe Formation and are identified by the development of typical large-scale cross-bedding. The thickness of the Luohe Formation in the Pengyang area ranges from approximately 300 to 400 m, with significant variations in sedimentary characteristics, allowing it to be subdivided into upper and lower sections. The upper section of the Luohe Formation consists of multiple sets of reddish sandstone and conglomerate deposits, representing aeolian–aqueous interactive facies. The lower section is characterized by typical desert facies deposits, primarily composed of yellowish and gray medium- to fine-grained sandstones. These sandstones show a high degree of grain roundness, good sorting, and relatively well-developed porosity. Uranium ore bodies are mainly hosted within the gray sandstones.
