Deposit type

  • Sandstone hosted

Summary:

Uranium mineralization at the Rosita project occurs as roll-front-type deposits hosted in porous and permeable sandstones of the Goliad Formation (of Pliocene age), at depths ranging from 125 to 350 feet below the surface. The sandstones of the Goliad Formation occur in a deltaic to marginal marine environment of the Texas Gulf Coastal Plain which dip gently easterly into the Gulf of Mexico. Rosita’s classic C-shaped roll-front deposits comprise highly sinuous mineralized zones occurring at the interface of oxidized and reduced sediments located in the easterly part of the Rosita Property shown on the map below.

Additional potential for roll-front mineralization exists between 500 and 700 feet in the Oakville Formation and is the subject of current exploration efforts.
