Based on the study of characteristic of strata and tectonic of Zhongkouzi basin, one of the basins in Beishan basin group, the hydrogeological division has been discussed, as well as the recharge, the runoff and the discharge of groundwater in our study in this area. By analyzing the characteristics both of nature water chemistry and isotopic hydrogeochemistry, the hydrogeology properties have been researched of groundwater sampling site. The advanced hydrogeochemical modeling is used to discuss the action and law of uranium ore-forming under the hydrogeochemical conditions and its surrounding environment. The species of uranium are calculated by using geochemical model, as well as SI and RCI for groundwater solutions. Applying these technologies, both the uranium migrated law and uranium precipitating mechanics are illustrated in this paper. Our study shows that the states of uranium solutions are involved with Eh values or pH values or the uranium concentrations of groundwater in those sandstone strata in this basin. Through this study, the uranium mineralization zone is predicted in this basin. This provides a powerful evidence for further exploration in this area.
