The beds penetrated by the Fell appear to have originated from very young Plio-Pleistocene lacustrine sediments, and include oil shales. Oil-saturated sands

(4) lIon-conventional sources of energy (a) Radio-active minerals

Several deposits of radio-aotive minerals are known in Uganda ,ane\. some small ,low-grade deposits '"ere l,orked for ur-aru.um during the war, although none 'are at present in production. Prospecting continues and the prospects of finding economically workable de~osits are considered to be good.

Uranium'minerals, although so far rara in Uganda, have been found mainly as euxenite in pegmatites in various

"localities in Buganda, Toro, Ankole and Karamoga, and as microlite 'in,ester,n Uganda. Radio-activity is also found in oertain spring waters along the boundary of the western Rift Valley.

Thorium minerals ar c common compared -to uranium mi ner-a'l.s and occur as monazite from ,the l·reath3ring of granites and as thorita. At ~alapata in northern Karamoja monazite is found in quartz-"ilmeni te-rutile nodules in biotite,gnaiss, and 0ther· monazi to occurrences are at Kal are River, -:Mpuywi, Buhweju arid Bugarama. 'Although some have a Th0

2 as

'commercially exp'Loi table. The same is true of thori te whi c n is fou;"d' a't Lunyo (Jastern Province) and Apeykal e in northern Karamoja.

No sustained s~~rch for uranium has been carried out in ,Uganda, although, considering its geology, tectonic 'acti"iTi ty

and ignequs Fctivity, tho country must be regarded as offering many favourable aspects for the occurrence of radio-active minerals; this is confirmed to some extent by the early results of the aerial geophysioal survey being carried out

"under'a United Nations ,~pecial Fund pr-cj ect ,

'I'horium-"'bearing ores are known ,but the possibility of their commercial exploitation is doubtful at the present stage of knowledge of these occurrences.

It:is highly pro,bable-i;ha t Beothermalfi..,lds exist in Uganda, in connexion ,ri.th:'the TIift Valley faulting and

its assDciated volcanic activity. At Buranga, in Toro province, there is an extensive area of hot springs and swamps and a definite ,a ttempt lias made to Looa ts an

accumulation of geothermal steam. Ten wells were drilled, most of which gave hot water at 96⁰ - 98⁰ C, and ,tlVO of which made considerable quantities of steam before dying into geysers. ·The area' is located in thelllbGrt Rift Valley and thG spr-,i.ngs ar-e immediately ad.j acerrt
