The invention belongs to a method for detecting a uranium mine, and specifically discloses a method for detecting a paleochannel type uranium mine. The method includes: four seismic lines in the shape of a Chinese character "feng" are laid; the seismic lines in the shape of the Chinese character "feng" are provided with detectors, an excitation source, and a seismograph; the excitation source is started, seismic vibration signals are generated, and the seismograph is turned on to observe seismic amplitude data received by the detectors; seismic data processing of seismic original single-shot data is performed; seismic data stratigraphic interpretation of seismic result data C is made, and stratigraphic data D is obtained; standardization processing of sound wave data and density data in a research region is performed, and the sound wave data SON_standard and the density data DEN_standard after standardization are obtained; according to C, D, SON_standardj, and DEN_standardj, wave impedance data volume [omega]res is obtained by employing jason inversion software and an inversion method based on a model; and according to the wave impedance data volume [omega]s, preferable mineralization areas of the paleochannel type uranium mine on the four seismic lines are determined. According to the method, the mineralization environment of the paleochannel type uranium mine can be rapidly, economically, and effectively detected.
