Global Miocene tectonics and regional sandstone-style uranium mineralization

The formation of sandstone-style uranium deposits are significantly controlled by the latest tectonic uplift events, especially those generated in an open system by the infiltration of meteoritic water. This study explores the spatiotemporal relationship between global Miocene tectonics and sandstone-style uranium deposits to evaluate the link between tectonic uplift and metallogenic ages. In general, modern landforms were shaped by diverse...
