Application of Combined Exploration and Mining Technology in Sandstone-type Uranium Deposits in Xinjiang
Taking the deposit west of P0 line in Mengqigur,Xinjiang as the research object,aiming at the problems such as large variation coefficient,buried depth,complex occurrence conditions and dif-ficult large-scale development of the ore body,the integrated mode of"exploration and mining combi-nation"was adopted,which combines exploration drilling and production drilling,had made the utili-zation rate of exploration drilling reach 61%,saved the input cost of drilling and improved the quality of resources.The construction period of the deposit was shortened,the vegetation damage was re-duced,and the green and sustainable development of the mine was achieved.The technology has re-markable economic and environmental benefits,and provides a new method for the development of complex sandstone in-situ leaching uranium ore.
