SAN MARTIN ( wolframite ) + SALARS U235San Martin Mine is directly adjacent to Ivana. San Martin mined - TUNGSTEN ( wolframite )
MAP ( mindat ) https://www.mindat.org/loc-69628.html San Martin has... 3 types of Lead ( once was uranium )
3 types of Tungsten
Tellurium ( also assoc to uranium )
Copper which also assoc to uranium - 8 species
Potassium - inherently hosts uranium ( several grouping ) mindat stats )
Quartz
GRANITES / FELDS host the San Martin minerals
In granites and veining

Coffinite = grey, black oxide San Martin mentions
no presence of, Coffinite. Tungsten, which is Swedish for
"heavy stone," is the strongest metal in the world
Density Uranium - has a density of 19.1g/cc (19,100 kg per cubic meter) Tungsten - has a density of 19.25g/cc (19,250 kg per cubic meter) Jan 28, 2017 wikipedia Ahhhh, ha !
Very close in density..
BSK highlighted pyrites in Ivana ( perhaps suggesting pathfinder for U ) arseno kind
VP of exploration mentioned in video - look for Pb as pathfinder for U
Wolframite Uranium England Abstract
The U content of cassiterite (SnO2), wolframite (Fe,Mn)WO4, and various sulphides from two localities in the Cornubian batholiths of south-west England has been investigated.
Cassiterites showed concentrations of U between 0 and 6 ppm with the higher concentrations corresponding to the darker colour bands. Sulphides contained no detectable U using the fissiontrack method, but high concentrations relate to micro-veining.
This veining was also evident in associated wolframite and appeared to have a composition similar to an iron-arsenate mineral associated with the alteration of arsenopyrite.
Wolframite exhibited a wide range of U concentrations with sharp zonation and several generations of ore deposition within one crystal.
The U was not, however, associated with either the iron- or manganese-rich phases.

Could coffinite been mislabelled moreso.... Wolframite ?
Keep in mind... bsk admits it hasn't quite nailed down varieties of, uranium.
Why is it difficult to detect gamma radiation ? Unlike optical light and x-rays, gamma rays cannot be captured and reflected by mirrors. Gamma-ray wavelengths are so short that they can pass through the space within the atoms of a detector. NASA Science Side Note
Beta particles are faster than alpha and gamma.

Wonderment ? Heat alters and destroys / changes molecular structures
If uranium is melted - made into pellet fuel
How does the radioactive ( instability ) remain constnt ?
Would heating not difuse the radioactive ( machinations ) ability to emmit radiation ?
Hence - my original thought of - enriching meant - irridating the uranium.
They do it to doped diamonds and... with Betavoltalic batteries

For the first time, the relationship between U and salinity has been tested on an extended salinity scale. The conservative behavior of U in oceanic water has been well established since the first studies on the subject (Ku et al., 1977 and Chen et al., 1986), however, it has not been validated in brackish waters, as found in estuarine environments, where both conservative and non-conservative behaviors have been reported
238U,
235U and
234U are principally introduced into the ocean in dissolved forms by chemical weathering.
https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0304420311001332 My understanding ? all 3 in a separate manner are released when parent U238 breaks down.
Bluffs decay
Ores cascade to inner basin
water moves loose ores into Picos
Picos ( water ) allows further conversions - u238, u235, u234 separate ( now liberated )
Picos infux of rain season moves watershed
fines and sm rocks port out towards Ivna
Fines and small rocks wrap around Ivana's hardrock hump ( center ) outlier U
U235 is the unstable form highly reactive this.... could mean.... the U235 reacted with water forming Hydrogen gas but also
UH3 aqueous - Could mean... Salars retained the U235 ? ( u235 most likely to be reactive in water )
While U238 reacts with O2 converts to oxide.
Salars just might be a good place to see if conversion took place
leaving behind U235 in the waters.
That article does elude to...
U238 besks down and how it's worded.... 3 are freed from parent U238.
Not investment advice
Merely challenging self... to see if i can track down the missing links.
Find where the radioactive dropped out creating weaker ores.
SUM ? Wolframite in the Granite bedrocks
Salars - potential U235 remained in Salars ( u235 is the reactive )
One step closer to solving...lol
Hey... i just have to know... giggles.
