Abstract
The relationship between Precambrian rifting, greenstone belts, iron-rich-and carbonaceous rocks formation, alkaline metasomatism, ancient oil generation and the origin of Proterozoic U deposits on Precambrian shields is revealed. Interrelated processes of the Proterozoic economical U ore deposition and oil generation occurred in ancient rift basins, in zones of structural and stratigraphical discordance between greenstone crystalline basement and overlying volcanogenic-sedimentary sequences. High-grade complex U deposits were formed at the final stage of the oil and gas reservoirs degradation.
