Radioactive mineral explorations in polar regions
Uranium exploration has been carried out in the northern part of Canada in winter where the natural conditions are rather critical. A number of geophysical and geochemical exploration techniques have been employed to delineate various kinds of uranium mineralization as well as favorable geological s...
