Abstract
Wadi Allouga area, west central Sinai is covered by rocks ranging from late Precambrian to Mesozoic in age. The late Precambrian rocks comprise schists, gneisses and
diorite-granodiorite complex.
The Paleozoic rocks comprise a calc-arenite succession
)
ranging in thickness from 212 to 374 m. The middle carbonate rock unit is overlain and underlain by two sandstones intercalated with thin shale rock units. The middle carbonate rock unit (Urn Bogma Formation) represents the main target in this study as it contains Fe-Mn deposits and Cu and U mineralizations. Urn Bogma Formation is subdivided into four members, from the bottom, the ore shaley member, the lower dolomite member, the intercalation member and the upper dolomite member. The contact between the ore shaley and lower dolomite members plays an important role in hosting uranium and also the contact between the lower dolomite and intercalation members.
