Notes
- 1.
Although the present U oxide phase is described as uraninite it is probably the pitchblende variety as can be deduced from similar mineralization in the Novoveská Huta deposit described earlier.
- 2.
The geological setting of the Kurišková deposit as well as other deposits in the North Gemer Zone resembles to some extent that of volcanic-type uranium deposits described in Russian literature such as U-Mo deposits in the Streltsovsk Caldera in the Russian Federation or in the Mardai (or Dornod) district in Mongolia (for details see Dahlkamp 2009, Uranium Deposits of the World: Asia). Therefore metallogenetic concepts for these deposits may also give a clue for any genetic modeling for the Kurišková deposit.
