    Abstract:

    Uranium, as one of twenty–six kinds of important minerals in China, is strategic resource and energy mineral, which has been thoroughly investigated in the project of National Potential Evaluation of Uranium Resource. During the implementation of this project, the authors summarized the metallogenic regularity of uranium resource in China systematically, through the researches of geological characteristics of uranium resource, uranium deposits type (genetic and prediction type), temporal and spatial distribution, and metallogenic series. Based on the investigation of present situation and progress in uranium exploration, this paper proposes the uranium deposits in China should be divided into 4 classes, 9 types, 21 subtypes in genetic, and 50 types in prediction; suggests to divide China into 29 uranium metallogenic belts and 20 uranium prospective area, and constructs 20 uranium–polymetallic metallogenic series, through summarizing temporal and spatial distribution characteristics and metallogenic regularity of uranium deposits in China. The above research is beneficial to the comprehensive understanding of regional uranium metallogenic regularity, and will direct the uranium exploration in the future.
