Abstract
The extraction and transfer of uranium was modeled in the “granite-water” system at 800–100°C and 700–3000 bar. It was shown that the scale of ore accumulation depends on T,P parameters of source and amount of hydrothermal fluid that infiltrated through ore precipitation zone. The modeling results give further arguments that granitoid-associated uranium mineralization was derived from high temperature source.
