Les gîtes d'uranium associés à des discordances consistent typiquement en concentrations d'uranium présentes à la base d'une séquence de grès d'âge protérozoïque, là où cette séquence repose en discordance sur un socle composé de roches métamorphiques antérieures au Protérozoïque moyen parmi lesquelles on retrouve souvent des unités pélitiques graphitiques. Les gîtes sont associés à des zones de failles ou de fracture. 1, record 1, French, - g%C3%AEte%20d%27uranium%20associ%C3%A9%20%C3%A0%20des%20discordances
