Langer Heinrich is a calcrete-hosted secondary uranium deposit associated with valley-fill sediments in an extensive Tertiary palaeodrainage system. Uranium occurs as carnotite, an oxide mineral containing both uranium and vanadium, deposited as thin films lining cavities and fracture planes and as grain coatings and disseminations. The deposit extends over a 15 km length. Mineralisation is nearsurface, between one and thirty metres thick, and between 50 and 1,100 metres wide depending on the width of the palaeovalley. After calcrete development and mineralisation, parts of these sediments were eroded because of uplift that caused rejuvenated river flows - the largest being the Gawib River that in part follows the palaeovalley and has dissected and modified both the calcrete and associated mineralisation.The current mineral resource is modelled to be approximately 16Km in strike, 0m to 100m in depth and varies in width from 300m to 900m depending on the position of the paleochannel walls.
