Abstract

The article provides information on mineralization of the Ustuk mineral field with uranium and other rare metals.The distribution of radioactive elements in rocks was studied in field studies. As a result of the research, it was found that uranium-rich vanadium mineralization and secondary minerals of carnotite-tyuyamunite series were formed. Also, the primary minerals of uranium and rare earth elements were enriched with uranium and rare earth elements in the metamorphic quartzization front. A favorable environment (geochemical barrier) for quartzization of skarnoids was created and mineral deposition took place.Carriers of uranium and rare earth elements in primary minerals, consisting of 91.25% cerium, lanthanum, praseodymium and neodymium oxides, were identified as: yttrotitanite, apatite, rutile, leucoxen, orthite, uraninite, monazite, xenotime. Quartz ore deposits with iron sulfides and hydroxides have been exposed in the area.
