The granites around Zoz represent a differentiated, calc-alkaline, subaluminous, A-type granite with higher uranium content. The A-type affinity points to the possibility of encountering Sn, Mo, Bi, Nb, Ta and F mineralisation in the area. The low Th/U ratio also favours vein type U-deposits within granites or in adjacent metasediments.

Abstract


The granites around Zoz represent a differentiated, calc-alkaline, subaluminous, A-type granite with higher uranium content. The A-type affinity points to the possibility of encountering Sn, Mo, Bi, Nb, Ta and F mineralisation in the area. The low Th/U ratio also favours vein type U-deposits within granites or in adjacent metasediments.
