Mineral Composition and Full-Scale Pore Structure of Qianjiadian Sandstone-Type Uranium Deposits: Application for In Situ Leaching Mining by Qizhi Wang, Xuanyu Liang, Wei Wang, Qinghe Niu, Jinyi Zhuo, Xuebin Su, Genmao Zhou, Lixin Zhao, Po Li, Wei Yuan, Jiangfang Chang, Zhongmin Ji, Anye Su

“…Coarse sandstone, fine sandstone, and sandy mudstone are favorable for ISL mining in Qianjiadian uranium deposits because their permeability is above the required permeability threshold of ISL. The uranium deposits with permeability below the threshold are recommended to adopt the blasting-enhanced permeability method to improve their permeability for achieving large-scale and high-efficiency ISL mining. …”
