Abstract: Uranium In Situ Leaching in the Tertiary
Deposits of South Texas
By

The exploitation of Texas Uranium deposits of the Eocene,
Miocene and Pliocene series by in situ leaching methods is in
progress at six locations in Webb, Duval and George West counties.
The mineralogy, geochemistry, physical qualities of the host
sandstones, and local groundwater conditions vary with each
deposit but are compatible with the dissolution chemistry of alkaline
type leaching agents.
A classification chart is presented showing the relationship
between geologic formation, permeability, calcite, quartz, clays,
pyrite, organic carbon and leaching processes. End_of_Record - Last_Page 4---------------
