Itigi / Manyoni Uranium Prospect

Uranium bearing granites are known to be a source of uranium deposit both in duricrust and in sedimentary sequence. The level of erosion in these granitic rocks may have played a great role in the economic potential of uranium deposit. The deeper the level of erosion and stripping off of any high level granite differentiates; the result is the accumulation of an economical uranium deposit. The radiometric surveys in the area have identified a total of 14 u- zones in qds 141 and assigned priority for a follow-up. Most of the anomalies lie on the superficial comprising of undifferentiated soils (the kilimatinde cement).

The license area lies in a zone which has mean uranium count of 36, mean total count of 2000, high uranium count of 52, u/th ratio of 1.02 and u/k ratio of 1.53. A total four point source which is significantly high fall in the license area. Point source 141/31 of uranium count 52cps, 141/49 of uranium count of 45, 141/44 of uranium count 47 and 141/53 with uranium count of 44.
