An appraisal of uranium deposits of India and their style of deposition with reference to the Paleoproterozoic great oxidation event

Evolving atmospheric oxygen levels during the early Earth history had a profound impact on Earth’s surface processes, especially on the mineralization of redox-sensitive elements such as iron (Fe) and Uranium (U). Here we present a review of the effect of the Great Oxidation Event (GOE) that started at ~2.44 Ga on the style of Uranium mineralization with reference to Indian uranium occurrences. GOE was responsible for the initiation of intense...
