The Dornod licences are in the
historically explored Dornod and Saddle Hills areas,
which are located in the Argun-Mongolia uranium
province. All uranium mineralisation discovered to date
in the area occurs in a narrow belt along the northern
margin of what is locally referred to as the Dornod
Structure (a large geological feature covering
approximately 2,000 km2). Where identified,
uranium mineralisation in the Dornod area occurs
as pitchblende-coffinite assemblages, associated with
carbonaceous partings and fragments in areas of
structural complexity. The uranium mineralisation occurs
as ‘‘blanket-like’’ horizons from less than 1 m thick to
greater than 30 m thick within the volcano-sedimentary
succession at depths from 30 m to greater than 450 m
below surface.
The Dornod area is currently a
target for uranium exploration and production in
The
MUC Mongolia plans to source
further available historic exploration and production
data, implement a detailed reconnaissance programme in
order to verify this data and undertake further
exploration and drilling activities.
