[0002] Uranium resources are important strategic mineral resources. In the early days, uranium resources were mainly obtained by exploring hard rock uranium deposits. This type of ore deposit has the characteristics of high grade and shallow burial, and radioactive exploration is its main exploration method. However, with the continuous advancement of in-situ leaching and smelting technology, sandstone uranium deposits have become the focus of current uranium resource exploration and research due to their low mining cost and environmental advantages. However, due to the lack of obvious differences in the physical properties between the ore-bearing rocks and the surrounding rocks of sandstone uranium deposits, and the deep burial of the ore body, traditional ground exploration methods (including radioactive exploration) have limited effects.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] In order to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0023] It should be clear that the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention. Embodiment 1

[0024] See also Figure 1 , is a schematic diagram of a flow chart of a sandstone-type uranium ore prospecting method based on tectonic unit boundaries provided by an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 As shown, the method specifically includes: Step S1: Acquire geological data of a sedimentary basin, determine the spatial distribution, structural and stratigraphic characteristics of the tectonic units in the sedimentary basin, and determine the type of favorable mineralization tectonic units based on the spatial distribution, structural and stratigraphic characteristics of the tectonic units.

[0025] In this embodiment, the type of favorable metallogenic structural unit is determined according to the following method: like Figure 2 As shown, if tectonic unit B is adjacent to tectonic unit A where bedrock is exposed, tectonic unit B is determined to be a dominant and favorable mineralization tectonic unit.

[0026] like Figure 3 As shown, if structural unit A is a large anticline, structural unit A and its adjacent structural unit B are determined to be good and favorable mineralization structural units.

[0027] like Figure 4 As shown in Figure 2, the prospecting target layers of adjacent tectonic units A and B are both covered by sedimentary layers, but there is a difference in the basement burial depth between tectonic units A and B. Figure 4 As shown in (a), if the base of structural unit A with a smaller base burial depth is a slope terrain, then both structural unit A and structural unit B are potentially favorable mineralization structural units; Figure 4 As shown in (b), if the basement burial depth of structural unit A with a smaller basement burial depth is uniform, then structural unit B with a larger basement burial depth is a potentially favorable mineralization structural unit.

[0028] Potentially favorable mineralization structural units may lack sufficient uranium source supply and have lower mineralization potential than the structural units and anticline structural units adjacent to the bedrock outcrop area.

[0029] Step S2: For different types of favorable mineralization structural units, the primary exploration target area of ​​sandstone-type uranium deposits is determined in combination with the gravity data and / or seismic data and / or oil and gas content of the favorable mineralization structural units, wherein the primary exploration target area includes a primary advantageous exploration target area and / or a primary good exploration target area and / or a primary potential exploration target area. Embodiment 2

[0030] In this embodiment, if the favorable metallogenic structural unit is a dominant favorable metallogenic structural unit, then: Analyze the reducing strength of the prospecting target layer of tectonic unit B and determine the type of the prospecting target layer of tectonic unit B.

[0031] First, collect relevant geological data of the research area, and comprehensively analyze the paleoclimate environment and evolution during the formation of the target stratum and its adjacent strata. Then, determine the type of the target stratum according to the paleoclimate environment and evolution during the formation of the target stratum and its adjacent strata, including: If the prospecting target layer of tectonic unit B is a coal-bearing stratum or the prospecting target layer was formed in a warm and humid paleoclimate environment, then the prospecting target layer of tectonic unit B is determined to be a type of reduction intensity prospecting target layer; If the prospecting target layer of tectonic unit B was formed in the paleoclimate environment of warm-humid-arid transition, then the prospecting target layer of tectonic unit B is determined to be the second type of reduction intensity prospecting target layer; If the prospecting target layer of tectonic unit B was formed in a dry and hot paleoclimate environment, then the prospecting target layer of tectonic unit B is determined to be a third-class reduction intensity prospecting target layer.

[0032] Taking tectonic unit A as the erosion source area, tectonic unit B is divided into different types of prospecting prospecting areas according to different types of prospecting target layers and taking the boundary of the first tectonic unit as the starting point.

[0033] In this embodiment, if the prospecting target layer of structural unit B is a type I reduction intensity prospecting target layer, then the structural unit B within a range of less than or equal to 30 km from the boundary of the first structural unit is classified as a type A prospecting prospecting area; If the prospecting target layer of tectonic unit B is a type II reduction intensity prospecting target layer, then the tectonic unit B within the range of 30-100km from the boundary of the first tectonic unit is divided into a type B prospecting prospecting area; wherein the range of 30-100km is greater than 30km and less than or equal to 100km; If the prospecting target layer of tectonic unit B is a third-class reduction intensity prospecting target layer, the tectonic unit B within the range of 100-250km from the boundary of the first tectonic unit is divided into a class C prospecting prospecting area. Among them, the range of 100-250km is greater than 100km and less than or equal to 250km.

[0034] Based on the gravity data and / or seismic data and / or oil and gas content of the prospecting area, the type of primary advantageous exploration target area is determined.

[0035] In this embodiment, for Class A prospecting areas and Class B prospecting areas, the gravity data within the prospecting areas are processed and inverted to obtain structural maps including the basement undulation morphology and the spatial distribution of faults and Bouguer gravity field contour maps, and analyze the spatial distribution patterns of different structures in the area. Based on the spatial distribution patterns of the different structures, the type of primary advantageous exploration target area is determined.

[0036] For Class C prospecting areas, the oil and gas content of the area through which the uranium-containing oxygen-containing water flows is searched along the flow direction of the uranium-containing oxygen-containing water. The type of primary advantageous exploration target area is determined based on the oil and gas content of the area through which the uranium-containing oxygen-containing water flows.

[0037] Specifically, for the type A prospecting area, the gravity data in the type A prospecting area are processed and inverted to obtain structural maps including the basement undulation and the spatial distribution of faults and the contour map of the Bouguer gravity field, and analyze the spatial distribution of uplifts and faults in the area; If multiple uplifts and faults appear in groups in Area 1, and the contour lines of Bouguer gravity anomaly field in Area 1 are seriously distorted, then the Area 1 is classified as a Class A1 superior exploration target area; If there is a single uplift and fault in Area 2, and the contour lines of the Bouguer gravity anomaly field in Area 2 are distorted in the same direction, then Area 2 is classified as a type A2 advantageous exploration target area; For the B-type prospecting areas, the gravity data in the B-type prospecting areas are processed and inverted to obtain structural maps including the basement undulation and the spatial distribution of faults and the Bouguer gravity field contour map, and analyze the spatial distribution of depressions and faults in the area; If the area is larger than 20km 2 If there is a large depression, and the contour lines of the Bouguer gravity anomaly field at the edge of the large depression are seriously distorted, the edge of the large depression is classified as a B1 type advantageous exploration target area; If the area is greater than or equal to 5km 2 And less than or equal to 20km 2 If there is a medium-sized depression, and the contour lines of the Bouguer gravity anomaly field at the edge of the medium-sized depression are distorted in the same direction, the edge of the medium-sized depression is classified as a b2 type advantageous exploration target area; If the area is less than 5km 2 If a small depression is found and the contour lines of the Bouguer gravity anomaly field at the edge of the small depression are distorted in the same direction, the edge of the small depression is classified as a b3 type advantageous exploration target area.

[0038] For the C-type prospecting prospecting area, the oil and gas content of the area where the uranium-containing oxygen-containing water flows is searched along the flow direction of the uranium-containing oxygen-containing water, and the type of primary advantageous exploration target area is determined according to the oil and gas content of the area where the uranium-containing oxygen-containing water flows. Because the C-type prospecting prospecting area is far away from the erosion source area, and these structural units far away from the erosion source area are closer to the oil and gas enrichment structural units. Since the prospecting target layer of the C-type prospecting prospecting area itself has a low organic matter content, deep oil and gas are needed as supplementary organic matter, but moderate oil and gas escape is conducive to uranium mineralization, while excessive oil and gas escape in the oil and gas area is not conducive to uranium mineralization.

[0039] Therefore, if there are oil and gas enriched structural units in the area where uranium-containing and oxygen-containing water flows, the non-oil and gas enriched structural units in the Class C prospecting prospecting area shall be divided into Class C1 advantageous exploration target areas, and the oil and gas enriched structural units in the Class C prospecting prospecting area shall be divided into Class C2 advantageous exploration target areas.

[0040] In this embodiment, it is identified whether there is a sheet-like sand body or a lens-like sand body in the prospecting target layer within the primary exploration target area based on seismic data, and the type of the secondary exploration target area is determined based on the identification result.

[0041] Specifically, it includes: identifying whether there are sheet-like sand bodies or lens-like sand bodies in the prospecting target layer within the primary advantageous exploration target area based on seismic data, and determining the type of secondary advantageous exploration target area based on the identification results.

[0042] Tectonic unit A is the erosion source area, and uranium-containing oxygen-containing fluids infiltrate into tectonic unit B. If the sand content of the prospecting target layer around the boundary of the tectonic unit is high, it is conducive to the continuous infiltration of uranium-containing oxygen-containing water on the surface, which is beneficial to uranium mineralization. Therefore, it is possible to identify whether there are sheet-like sand bodies or lens-like sand bodies in the prospecting target layer within the primary advantageous exploration target area based on seismic data, and further determine the type of the secondary advantageous exploration target area based on the identification results.

[0043] In seismic sections, there are obvious differences in the response of reflection axes to sandstone and mudstone. Mudstone usually appears as a reflection axis with strong amplitude, high frequency and good continuity in seismic sections, while sandstone, on the other hand, usually appears as a reflection axis with weak amplitude and relatively high frequency.

[0044] Comparing the reflection characteristics of the ore-bearing layers in the seismic profile, the reflection in-phase circles with weak amplitude and relatively high frequency are circled as sand bodies.

Thereby further accurately hitting the sandstone-type uranium exploration target area and improving the accuracy and efficiency of prospecting. In summary, based on an in-depth analysis of the uranium mineralization characteristics controlled by the tectonic unit boundaries, this application proposes to use the uplifts and faults at the boundaries of tectonic units as important signs for prospecting, and combines geological and geophysical prospecting methods to form a new method of prospecting that is efficient and low-cost. This method can not only accurately lock the preferred targets in the sandstone-type uranium exploration area, but also significantly reduce the blindness in the prospecting process and improve exploration efficiency.
