“…Sodium metasomatism and uranium mineralization, collectively referred to as albitite-type (e.g., Wilde, 2013), metasomatic (Cuney and Kyser, 2008), or albitite-hosted (Polito et al, 2007) uranium deposits are widely distributed in the world, and no single genetic model is consistent with the examples cited in the literature (e.g., Cuney and Kyser, 2008;Wilde, 2013). For the Lagoa Real uranium deposits, no consensus exists regarding their genesis, despite the various studies in the area (e.g., Geisel Sobrinho et al, 1980;Lobato, 1985;Maru ejol et al, 1987;Fuzikawa et al, 1988;Maru ejol, 1989;Lobato and Fyfe, 1990;Cruz, 2004;Chaves et al, 2007;Souza, 2009;Oliveira, 2010;Oliveira et al, 2012;Chaves, 2013), and a thorough discussion of the subject is beyond the scope of this paper.…”
