| Description: | Unconformity-related uranium deposits made up 25% of the total production of uranium in 2016 and hence can be considered a significant resource of uranium. In marked contrast to most other deposit types of uranium, unconformity-related ores are both high grade and have among the largest uranium inventories(570 000 tU at a cost <US $260/kg in 2015 [1.2]; Fig. 1.1). While their high grade and significant inventory makes them a highly strategic resource especially given their low mining cost compared to other deposit types explorating for these deposits is challenging as they are associated with basal units of Proterozoic basins normally in the subsurface. |
