In Xiangshan ore-field, the deposits are mainly concentrated in the Zou-Shi (Zoujiashan-Shidong) fault zone, with no significant lithologic property for uranium ore-body and typical fault zone ore-controlling. Ore-body occurrence can be roughly divided into two categories: one is controlled by the volcano ring structure, and the other one by NE-trending faults and their secondary faults, that is located in the Zou-Shi fault and its vicinity. Bounded by Hengjian-Furongshan, the ring granite porphyry occurs more frequently on the east side and less on the west side. It is speculated that uranium mineralization in this area, not only is obviously affected by the Zou-Shi fault zone, indirectly related to northwest Red-Basin, but also by differential uplift-erosion in the eastern and western parts. The eastern is more stable and low level of erosion, and the uplift and erosion of the western are also stronger.
