Manifestación Las Termas, Fiambalá, Departamento Tinogasta, Provincia de Catamarca, Argentina.


Elevation 1,990 m. above sea level.

Located on the western slope of the Sierra de Fiambalá, Los Ratones Area, manifestation of uranium in gaps cataclastics consisting of veins with "Pitchblende", Pyrite, fluorite. Yellow uranium ore are scattered in micaceous schists and staying in porce planes, cracks and microcavitities of the rock. The Saléeite occurs in crystalline aggregates together with Coconinoite, Meta-torbernite, Uranophane and Phurcalite. Determined by x-ray.
