OBS

There were two distinct types of ore at Port Radium: a high silica-gangue type pitchblende; and a carbonate barite gangue type pitchblende which also contained silver (Traill 1932).

OBS

Pitchblende is commonly associated with one or more of the primary ore minerals of iron, copper, cobalt, lead, silver, and bismuth; and the presence of these minerals in a mineral deposit is one indication of favorable conditions for pitchblende. It is usually accompanied also by bright colored secondary uranium minerals where subjected to weathering or other alteration.
