I am working on a revamping of this article to reflect the 14 deposit styles currently accepted by the IAEA. Turgan ( talk) 21:49, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
I did a major expansion to this article. I decided to roll out what I have prepared so far. Several sections still require information, which I will be adding in the near future. Turgan Talk 07:42, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
Hi, just wondering why fly ash and lignite was taken out of the lignite section. As far as I understand the fly ahs projects will use the remnants of the burning of uranium rich lignite. So there is just the step of burning between lignite and fly ash, doesn't affect the geology. Freital in germany, although a hard coal deposit, is classified as "lignite" according to the IAEA scheme by the Wismut. I think there is no principal difference between lignite and hard coal, only that hard coal mineralisation have seen some more P/T. Cheers, Geomartin ( talk) 02:03, 26 March 2009 (UTC)
The statement that "the most significant deposits [of quartz-pebble conglomerate ores] are in the Huronian Supergroup in northern Ontario, Canada and in the Witwatersrand Supergroup of South Africa" is likely to be confusing to some readers, especially non-Canadians. Although Elliot Lake is in the "Northern Ontario" administrative region of Ontario, it is not in the "northern" part of Ontario province except in an administrative, economic, and social sense. Elliot Lake is far, far to the south of the latitude line that would divide the province into equal halves by land area. If we were to state that the deposits are in "Northern Ontario" rather than "northern Ontario," we would be technically correct, but readers who are not familiar with the history and somewhat peculiar logic of the regional nomenclature might have some difficulty at first in locating Elliot Lake on a map. Is it good enough just to say that the deposits are "in Ontario"? After all, we are not more specific about where in South Africa the Witwatersrand deposits are (and thankfully South Africa is in the south of Africa). Piperh ( talk) 21:40, 15 November 2010 (UTC)
What are those "grades?" From here:
I read grades for U3O8 as:
grade | percentage | pounds/ton |
---|---|---|
Low | 0.05―0.1% | 1―2 |
Medium | 0.1―0.5% | 2―10 |
High | 0.5―2% | 10―40 |
Extra High | 2% or higher | 40 or higher |

Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia. This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link. If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request its removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true. Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.
Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:

Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just modified one external link on Uranium ore. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:
When you have finished reviewing my changes, you may follow the instructions on the template below to fix any issues with the URLs.
