Where uranium and vanadium concentrations are in pg/L and potassium and bi-carbonate are in mg/L. Where the CSI is equal to zero then groundwater chemistry and carnotite saturation are in equilibrium and the mineral has the potential to be present. The assessment of groundwater chemistry in the vicinity of calcrete-hosted carnotite deposits indicates that a wide geochemical halo exists and that this halo can be identified during exploration. In Australia direct analysis of groundwater and the CSI have been demonstrated as suitable methods for exploration. In Namibia, in reality although the approach may be useful for...

The initial exploration and subsequent drilling in the Windsor area was sparked by the discovery of radon anomalies in the soil gas and well waters in the area (Quarch et al. 1981 Fig. 2). In addition, uranium and radium in well waters were weakly anomalous in the area. It is therefore not difficult to infer that these geochemical techniques are useful exploration tools for deposits of this type and that there are environmental Issues related to uranium occurrences in the Horton Group. 

Deep-penetrating geochemical exploration for hidden sandstone-type uranium deposits in the Turpan-Hami basin, northwestern China... 

Three geochemical provinces of U and Mo were delineated in the Turpan-Hami Basin (Fig. 3). The westernmost one contains the Shihongtan large sandstone-type uranium deposit. Sandstone-type uranium deposits are characteristic by coexisting U and Mo anomalies. The east one at Hami area is was selected for follow-up exploration and a big deposit was found by drilling program.
