The G.Abu Garadi area is covered mainly by metasediments,alkali feldspar granites and stream sediments.The alkali feldspar granite is traversed by a major strike-slip fault trending in an N-S direction as well as two subordinate sets of faults trending NW to WNW for the first one and NE for the second one.These faults represent the shear zones affected by magmatic (syngenetic) as well as hydrothermal (epigenetic) activities causing alteration of the granitic rocks.The most common alteration features are albitization,greisenization and koalinitization.The mass balance calculations of the studied altered samples show enrichments in Zr,Y,Ni,U,Th and Ga and depletions in Zn,Sr,Nb,Ba,Pb,Cu and V.Only the greisenized samples exhibit a significant enrichment in Nb,ΣREE budget and pronounced lanthanide tetrad effect (M-type),especially TE1.4,while weakly expressed tetrad effects are for the other albitized and koalinitized samples.Mineralogically,the common accessory minerals in the altered samples include samarskite-(Y),betafite,uranothorite,zircon,fluorite and cassiterite.The greisenized granites contain high eU and eTh than the other altered types,where they are characterized by an assemblage of the radioactive minerals;samarskite-(Y),betafite,uranothorite in addition to zircon.The inter-element relationships between U and Th and also their ratios illustrate that the radioelement distribution in these granites is mainly governed by magmatic processes,in addition to post-magmatic ones.The distribution of chemical elements and the fractionation of some isovalents within the shear zone are largely controlled by the newly formed mineral phases.With respect to uranium mobilization,uranium migrated from the host alkali feldspar granites of G.Abu Garadi,while the shear zones acted as traps for the migrated uranium.Moreover,U migrated in the shear zone during greisenization and albitization,and migrated out during koalinitization.
