World Distribution of Uranium Deposits
World Distribution of Uranium Deposits (UDEPO) is a database of uranium deposits in the world. UDEPO contains information on the classification, geological characteristics, geographical distribution and technical characteristics of the uranium deposits worldwide.
The UDEPO database is an electronic catalogue of uranium deposits worldwide. It covers all geographical regions of the world.
To avoid unnecessary clustering and be more useful for resource assessment, only those deposits with not less than 500 tonnes Uranium and a minimum average grade of 0.03% Uranium are included in the database, with some exceptions.
The database web site provides filtering and search capabilities to the users so that the users can find the information for their specific interest. The filters include the geological classification of the deposits, current status and country. The web site also provides tools to create dynamic summary reports from the database.
