Summary edit
Distribution of Uranium in the Earth's crust
On the y axis is the amount of uranium in metric tons
On the x axis is the ore grade in ppm
The line approximates a lognormal distribution
Typical ores are as follows:
Vein deposits 10,000+ (ppm)
Pegmatites, unconformity deposits 2,000-10,000
fossil placers, sand stones 1,000-2,000
lower grade fossil placers, sandstones 200-1,000
volcanic deposits 100-200
black shales 20-100
shales, phosphates 10-20
granites 3-10
average crust 1-3
evaporites, siliceous ooze, chert 0.2-1
oceanic igneous crust 0.1-0.2
ocean water 0.0002-0.001
fresh water 0.0001-0.001
