| Abstract | 22 Abstract: This research aims at integrating airborne radiometric and remote sensing satellite data to prospect for radioactivity of the rocks at W adi Um Laseifa area, located in the Central Eastern Desert of Egypt. The study recorded several uranium anomalies along NNE-SSW trending fault zones within the granitic rocks. These occurrences are associated with alkali monzogranites, pegmatitic and manganese veins, trachytic dykes (Gabal Hamrat Ghanam, Gabal El Delihmi, Gabal Nusla and Gabal Abu El Tiyur). Gamma ray spectrometer measurements for representative samples indicate the presence of U up to 17.2 ppm in the trachytic dykes, 12 ppm in the pegmatites and 9 ppm in the manganese veins. Results demonstrate the accuracy of airborne radiometric data and the suitability of remote sensing techniques as a powerful tool in exploration for radioactive materials. |
