Abstract

The present report provides a compilation of thermodynamic data for geologically relevant uranium species suitable for geochemical equilibrium calculations from low to moderate temperatures (up to 300°C). It also reports a set of diagrams displaying the solubility of key uranium ore minerals (uraninite, coffinite and carnotite) and the stability of uranium and vanadium complexes at temperatures between 25° and 300°C. Further, it discusses mass-balance calculations of fluid-rock reactions at temperatures up to 200°C relevant to understanding the behaviour of uranium in unconformity-related uranium and sediment-hosted stratiform copper-uranium deposits.
