Abstract:The latest nuclear power project presents that China’s future demand for uranium resources is huge. In the longterm run, China, except for continuing to intensify domestic exploration, should understand proven uranium resources abroad, especially the distribution of sandstonetype uranium resources, to better optimize China’s supply chain of uranium resources from a global prospective. Largescale exploration of sandstonetype uranium deposits in North China just started in the early 21st century, and late start makes China encounter much difficulty and confusion in practical exploration and research. Therefore, comparison study of global sametype uranium deposits needs to conduct urgently, with the first objective to figure out the distribution and preliminary features of worldwide sandstonetype uranium deposits. Through analyzing a large volume of literatures and the latest prospecting situation, this study analyzed the change of uranium resources in global major Uproducing countries in the last half year, systematically summarized the worldwide sandstonetype U deposits, and compiled worldwide identified sandstonetype uranium deposits and their distribution map within sequences. This study generally reflects the overall situation of the sandstonetype uranium deposits worldwide and summarizes the main geological features of the key uranium deposits. In the end, five key spatialtemporal features of global sandstonetype uranium deposits are concluded as follows. ① Widespread but imbalanced, with a giant EWtrending uranium deposit zone across the Eurasian plate; ② Deposit sizes varied from place to place, but super or large deposits are common; ③ Spatial distribution obviously coupling with climate condition; ④ Wide time span of orebearing horizons but late mineralization time; ⑤ Deposits occurring mainly in petroliferous and coalbearing basins. This paper not only provides material for quickly, comprehensively understanding the distribution and key geological characteristics of worldwide sandstonetype uranium resources, which offers Chinese scientific staff with comparable examples of foreign deposits, but also a scientific basis for Chinese enterprises to “go abroad” and “where to go”.
