and then will gradually be incorporated into the Fe Oxides structure that results in deposition of U. Fe oxides are stable over a wide range of oxygen fugacity. This stability enables them to preserve their trace element compositions inherited from formation environments. Dispersion of U-rich Fe oxides from weathered and eroded host rocks by different geologic agents such as glaciers and/or rivers can form a characteristics dispersal halos around U deposits. Detecting these halos can guide exploration geologists to undiscovered U deposits. As Fe oxides are not limited to a specific mineral deposit type or lithology
