Abstract:Objectives:The sedimentary facies types of the favorable oreforming sand bodies of the Houshigou Formation are preliminarily discussed under the guidance of the metallogenic theory of sandstonetype uranium deposits, combined with a small amount of sample analysis and thin section identification work,through the comprehensive utilization of outcrop and borehole data in the north of Hegang Depression. Methods:In this paper, the main petrological characteristics, sedimentary facies types and distribution characteristics of the Lower Cretaceous Houshigou Formation in the study area are comprehensively studied. Conclusions: It is shown that: ①The sand bodies of the Houshigou Formation are mainly feldspathic lithic sandstones and lithic sandstones, which are mainly continental freshwater sedimentary environments with high reduction capacity; ②The Houshigou Formation in the study area is mainly fan delta sedimentary environment, and is divided into six microfacies: braided channel, floodplain swamp, underwater distributary channel, estuary bar, sheet sand and distributary bay; ③The submerged braided channel sand body of the Houshigou Formation can be used as a key type for searching for phreaticoxidizedtype sandstoneuranium deposit, while the underwater distributary channel sand body is the main type for searching for interlayeroxidizedzonetype sandstone uranium deposit.
