Uranium Mineral Occurrence in Příchovice, Liberec Region, Czech Republic

Key Points

The aim is to document and investigate a minor uranium mineral occurrence in Příchovice.
Re-located the uranium occurrence last worked in the 1950s.
Collected seven radioactive samples from remaining tailing piles.
Conducted semi-quantitative XRF analyses on two samples.
XRF analyses showed >50 wt.% uranium in tested samples.
Findings indicate significant uranium presence, likely in pitchblende-like ores.
Results suggest possible dilution by gangue minerals or coffinite.

Abstract

A minor uranium mineral occurrence briefly worked in the 1950s in Příchovice, Liberec Region, Czech Republic, was re-located and reinvestigated. Remaining tailing piles were confirmed and seven radioactive samples were obtained. Semi-quantitative XRF analyses on two samples showed >50 wt.% U, consistent with pitchblende-like ores significantly diluted by gangue minerals and/or possibly coffinite. This report is intended as an archival documentation of field observations and associated data, and has not undergone peer-review.
