Abstract

The Tim Mersoi Basin is a very rich uranium basin. It is a basin that belongs to the Iullemenden syncline located in the northern part of Niger. Research work in recent years in this basin has revealed significant mineralization. The present study in this basin is based on the QEMSCAN and petrographic analysis of samples particularly highlighted during recent exploration campaigns. This study has shown that the basement of the sector is granitic in nature but the presence of an andesite intrusion has been revealed in this studied area. The presence of this andesite dyke has also shown a close link with uranium mineralization.
