Geochemical uranium exploration techniques

Dyck, W., Campbell, R.A. and Pelchat, J.C., 1978. Evaluation of He and Rn geochemical uranium exploration techniques in the Key Lake area, Saskatchewan. Geol. Survey Canada, Paper 78-1B, pp. 39-44. 

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.
