RECONNAISSANCE FOR URANIUM IN THE TOCOPILLA AREA, PROVINCE OF ANTOFAGASTA, CHILE
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:4841804
In September-- October 1958 a six-day reconnaissance in the Tocopilla area, Antofagasta Province, Chile, was made to evaluate reported U occurrences. U occurs near Tocopilla in east- to northeast-trending tensional fractures associated with quartz, actinolite, and Cu and Fe minerals in veins paralleling andesite dikes. The dioritic to syenitic host rock is part of the Tocopilla pluton. The highest radiometric assays from veins were 0.09% equivalent U. In view of the persistence and character of the northeasttrending tensional structures, a limited program of more detailed geologic mapping seems warranted. (auth)
