Locating New Uranium Occurrence by Integrated Weighted Analysis in Kaladgi Basin, Karnataka

摘要

Interpretation of airborne geophysical data especially gamma ray spectrometric data is important for mineral exploration, specifically radioactive elements and to identify uranium targets. Exploration was carried out in Meso- Neoproterozoic Kaladgi basin for five decades to target different types of uranium mineralisation. The first sizable sub-surface uranium mineralisation was intercepted at Deshnur within Badami arenites close to unconformity contact along the southern margin of the basin (Shobhita et al., 2011).
