History:
In a large area of the Centre of Chubut, covering 30000 square kilometres and which involves formations Jurasics, Cretacics and tertiary (porphyre and porphyirites with their tuffs, sandstones, conglomerates, Shales, etc) were located, either by air or land surveying, a good number of uraniferous demonstrations, which can meet in three groups: a) hosted by sandstones and conglomerates Cretacic; (b) hosted by tuffs and tuff lutitics Jurasic; (c) with regard to diatremes and contactantes sediments.
"Sierra Cuadrada" and "Los Adobes" deposits belong to the first.
In Deposit "Los Adobes" there are several mineralized bodies, consisting of lenticular Depot, housed in a thick Bank Sandy-sub-horizontal conglomeradic, which presents an extension of 150 x 100 meters, with powers ranging from 3 meters at the edges up to 10 meters in its central part, with an average act of 0.18% U3O8.
Main Mineralization: Autunite, Meta-Autunite, Schröckigerite, Uranophane, Phosphuranylite.
