Abstract

A portion of the Singhbhum Copper Belt was taken up for detailed studies with particular reference to the uraniferous formations occurring in this important mineralised belt of India. The area covered is approximately 2.5 km in length along the strike and nearly 1 km in breadth, and is situated near Surda village which is 9.5 km due south-west of Ghatsila (S. E. Rly.). This paper describes the geological features of the area, the characteristics of the different constituent rock-types, the distribution of radioactivity, detailed description of the main uranium ore body, its reserves, and its possible origin.
