Vein-type similar uranium deposits of Argentina. Summary information

Abstract

Some vein-type and similar uranium deposits and occurrences are briefly described to show different models identified in Argentina. Practically all of them were form erly thought to be related to hydrothermal magmatic processes, but at present few are considered to be so; some are classified as typically exogenous and opinions differ about the genesis o f the remaining ones, especially because of a lack of sufficient research on the matter since this group of accumulations only contributes less than 10% to the entire uranium resources of Argentina.
