Abstract
Uranium mineralization in the Kodar-Udokan zone was discovered in 1950 in the rocks of the Udokan Supergroup (the Chitkanda prospect). But new occurrences of uranium mineralization were found in the rocks of the Chiney pluton and surrounding rocks only in the beginning of the twenty-first century. Mineralization is related to metasomatized rocks and is represented by brannerite, uraninite, and other minerals. Inside the Chiney pluton, many rare earth minerals were found as well. In this chapter, we report the first results (Gongalsky BI, Krivolutskaya NA, Makariev LB, Murashov KYu, Pavlovich GD, Timashkov AN: Concentration of U + REE at the final stage of operation of the Udokan-Chiney ore-magmatic system. Alkaline magmatism and associated deposits of strategic metals. Proceedings XXXIII international conference of Moscow, GEOKHI RAS, pp 28–29 (in Russian), 2016).
