Abstract

Uranium is one of the chief, rich resources produced by India and it is also occurring many parts of the country in general and Tummalapalli, Andhra Pradesh and Jadughuda, Jharkhand in particular. It is one amongst many economic mineral deposits derived from the crescent shaped Proterozoic Cuddapah basin in India. The Cuddapah basin is middle – upper Proterozoic basin of Andhra Pradesh endowed with rich minerals of economic importance along with Unconformity related strata bound Uranium deposits. The dolostones of composition CaMg(CO3) 2 belongs to Vempalli formation are host rocks and granites of Archaean basement are the source rocks for the Uranium mineralization especially in Cuddapah basin. It is mainly occurring in Thummalapalli area of YSR district in Andhra Pradesh. The present study is intended to investigate the Geochemistry of host rock formations of Uranium mineralization using the Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM).
