Relation of Uranium to Hypogene Mineral Zoning in the Front Range Mineral Belt, Colorado (open access)

Relation of Uranium to Hypogene Mineral Zoning in the Front Range Mineral Belt, Colorado

From abstract: Many of the mining districts of the Colorado Front Range mineral belt contain mesothermal sulfide ores that exhibit a zonal distribution. Present data indicate that in most of the zoned districts pitchblende and/or secondary uranium minerals are most abundant in a transition zone between central areas containing predominantly pyritic gold ores and peripheral areas containing dominantly lead-zinc-silver deposits. Copper in the form of chalcopyrite is also probably more abundant in the transition zone than in adjacent zones.
