Köppen climate type:
23 ore bodies with grades ranging from 0.043 % to 1.021 % were delineated. Intermittent ore bodies with a cumulative thickness of ∼40 m developed in the contact zone between J3mk and J3b. Wall-rock alterations are developed and characterized by hematitization, pyritization, chloritization, silicification, fluoritization, and clayification, among which hematitization, pyritization, silicification, and fluoritization are most closely related to uranium mineralization.
