Coupled thermo-hydro-mechanical (THM) modeling of structurally- controlled deposits at basement– basin interface: application to unconformity-related U deposits.

This postdoctoral project will aim at modeling THM processes that drive mineral deposit formation at the basement-basin interface, with a focus on unconformity- related uranium-ore deposits. The study will be based on the case of the world-class Cigar Lake ore deposit (Saskatchewan, Canada).  The ultimate goal will be to provide a more accurate overview of the space and time evolution of the fractured network governing the hydrothermal processes. Uranium mineralization, indeed, occurs along preferential fluid flow circulations highly controlled by petrophysical and structural heterogeneities. Read more our download (pdf)
