The uranium resources prospecting started in 1955,xx uranium deposits has been prospected,and 5 uranium ore fields has formed in southwest area. According to the regional uranium metallogenic characteristics and the class of tectonic units in control region,combining concentration degree of uranium deposits,uranium mineral occurrence and mineralized spot, the region can be divided into five uranium metallogenic belts including Gangdise-Tengchong, Sanjiang,northwestern Sichuan,northern

The breakthrough direction is to expand old mining areasand toopen up new bases.
