Relations between phia oac granitoids and uranium in Nguyen Binh area - Cao Bang province

Abstract
After reviewing the trace metals (Sn, W, Mo)-bearing granitoid deposits in the world, theauthors recognized that some deposits in Sweden (e.g. Nozzboten, Vasterbotten, Hotagen, Bergslagen, Bohus, Gosthenburg, Gotemar, Blekinge) contain not only trace metals (Sn, W, Mo), but also F, Li, U,Th, etc… which are similar to the Phia Oac granitoids. The correlation chart with the T. Carlsson (1982)’s criteria helps to determine the uranium-bearing granitoids. Initially, we constructed some correlation charts of granitoid fields in Northern Vietnam and concluded that some granitoid fields certainly related to uranium are Phia Oac, Xom Giau, Phu Sa Phin, and some granitoid fields possibly related to uranium are Ye Yen Sun, Muong Lat, Ban Chieng, and Song Chay (based on data from the Geology of Vietnam, Part II, Magma Section). This issue needs to be further studied.
