Resources of 16,500t of Uranium

The Songliao Basin, covering an area of approximately 260,000 km2, holds significant importance as a prominent oil, gas, and uranium producer in China.

The basin exhibits a north-northeast-trending rhomboid geometry, spanning approximately 750 km in length, 330–370 km in width, and covering an area of ∼ 2.6 × 105 km2. Since the Mesozoic and Cenozoic, the Songliao Basin has undergone significant plate tectonic activity. Northeast-trending folds and faults within the basin have facilitated the formation of favorable ore-guiding and reservoir structures for sandstone-hosted uranium deposits. The basin basement consists mainly of pre-Paleozoic and Paleozoic metamorphic rocks, together with late Paleozoic granites and diorites, whereas Mesozoic and Cenozoic strata dominate the sedimentary cover. The basin experienced maximum subsidence and sediment accumulation during the Cretaceous, characterized by the deposition of non-marine volcanic rocks, volcaniclastic rocks, and fluvial, lacustrine, and swamp clastic strata, reaching thicknesses of several kilometers. The Upper Cretaceous Sifangtai Formation (K2s) represents a key stratigraphic unit at the top of the Cretaceous sequence. The Sifangtai Formation unconformably overlies the Nenjiang Formation (K2n) and is overlain by the Mingshui Formation. This unconformity delineates a transition from widespread lacustrine deposition (Nenjiang Formation) to terrestrial fluvial deposition (Sifangtai Formation), associated with Late Cretaceous tectonic inversion.

Geochronology

Mineralization age: Cenozoic : 14.4 Ma to 0.0002 Ma

Important note: This table is based only on rock and mineral ages recorded on mindat.org for this locality and is not necessarily a complete representation of the geochronology, but does give an indication of possible mineralization events relevant to this locality. As more age information is added this table may expand in the future. A break in the table simply indicates a lack of data entered here, not necessarily a break in the geologic sequence. Grey background entries are from different, related, localities.
