Abstract

A three-dimensional prediction method based on geology-seismology for a favorable metallogenic site of a sandstone-type uranium deposit is provided, including: determining a to-be-explored area and a target stratum in the to-be-explored area; setting a seismic line in the to-be-explored area, so as to acquire seismic data of a profile where the seismic line is located; delineating a depression region and a target region in the profile; determining a dip angle of a stratum in the target region and a dip angle of a stratum underlying the target region according to the seismic data, where the stratum underlying the target region is within the depression region; determining a distribution of fractures in the target region and the depression region according to the seismic data; and delineating a uranium deposit metallogenic site in the target region.
