Uranium deposits of the world. Czech republic / Месторождения урана в мире. Чехия

Uranium is a widespread commodity throughout the crystalline Bohemian Massif and the basins of its platform cover in the Czech Republic. Most uranium mined occurred in vein- and sandstone-type deposits that cluster in a number of districts within eight uranium regions. Small deposits and occurrences also occur isolated elsewhere in the country. $Figure 3.1 shows the uranium regions with districts and deposits and $Table 3.1 lists reported data of districts and deposits. Since uranium mining was resumed after World War II,74 deposits were mined in 6 districts and at several localities scattered throughout the country. The principal uranium districts include Horní Slavkov (Schlaggenwald), Jáchymov (St. Joachimsthal), PIíbram, West Bohemia, and West Moravia with vein uranium deposits, and the StráM Block in the northern Bohemian Cretaceous Basin with sandstone uranium deposits. Additionally, small structure-controlled uranium deposits occur at Okrouhlá RadouE in the southern Bohemian Massif, and in the Krkonoše Mountains (Riesengebirge), Rychlebské hory (Reichensteiner Gebirge), and the Orlické horyMountains (Adlergebirge) in the SaxoThuringian Zone of the Sudetes. Strata-bound uranium deposits associated with lignite or coal deposits are reported from the  Upper Paleozoic basins of Kladno-Rakovník and the Intra-Sudetic Depressions, and from the Tertiary Sokolov (Falkenau) Basin. All deposits are depleted or shut down except for the RoMná and StráM deposits. OECD-NEA/IAEA (2012) reports remaining resources (status 2011) of 374 t U in the <$130 per kg U  RAR category for the RoLná deposit, and 116 000 t U in the  >$260 per kg U RAR + Inferred categories in the StráL Block.  Additional speculative resources of 179 000 t U are assumed to  exist in the North-Bohemian Cretaceous Basin <...>
