Andy Wilde presents Uranium, palaeochannels & climate change for SGEG Facets of Exploration Webinar

Andy Wilde presents 'Uranium, palaeochannels & climate change' for SGEG Facets of Exploration Webinar.
Abstract: The predicted increase in nuclear power generation requires the discovery of many new uranium deposits. Research into uranium deposits, with some notable exceptions, has been sparse in recent years and mineral systems models for many deposit types need updating. In this talk I will discuss uranium deposits formed in palaeochannels in Namibia (also known as calcrete or surficial deposits) and relate ore deposition to climate change.
