最近几年发表了若干值得注意的铀矿床分类。这些铀矿床分类主要试图区分两种成因上不同的热液铀矿床。原生热液类型是混染或非混染火成分异物所派生的,这种类型形成比较小的矿床,一般为数百吨至数千吨 U_3O_8。而热液变质类型来自变质的源岩,这种类型往往形成一些大型的工业铀矿床。 Several notable uranium deposit categories have been published in recent years. These uranium deposit types mainly attempt to distinguish between two types of hydrothermal uranium deposits that are genetically different. The type of primary hydrothermal fluids that are contaminated or mixed with non-contaminated fire constituents can result in relatively small deposits, typically from hundreds of tons to thousands of tons of U_3O_8. The hydrothermal metamorphic types come from metamorphic source rocks, which often form large-scale industrial uranium deposits.
