A possible explanation of the genesis of the Mt Painter uranium deposits - largely based on field observations

Created 17/10/2025

Updated 19/11/2025

This report describes the field evidence in support of supergene origin for the torbernite deposits in the Mount Painter district. This origin is also emphasised by Stillwell and Edwards. This report was originally written in response to a preliminary report by Stillwell in which a hydrothermal genesis was favoured.
