Advances in Uranium Metallogenic Theory, Exploration and Exploitation

Dear Colleagues,

Natural uranium resources play an important role in providing green energy in human society for seeking low-carbon development. Many countries have considered nuclear energy as an important direction in future energy strategies. Recently, a series of advances have been achieved in the metallogenic theory, exploration and exploitation of different types of uranium deposits in the world. Therefore, we propose this Special Issue to share these new discoveries. This Special Issue will cover a wide range of related topics of uranium resources, including—but not limited to—the following sections:

Section 1 Advance in metallogenic theory of uranium and uranium polymetallic deposits.

Section 2 New breakthroughs and progress in uranium exploration and exploitation.

Section 3 New technologies and methods related to metallogenic theory, exploration, and exploitation of uranium deposits.
