area record retrograde exchange of H-isotopes with relatively recent meteoric water having low δ 2 H values (e.g. Kyser and Kerrich, 1991). The preferential exchange of H-isotopes in these chlorites suggests that the fault zones were active after U-mineralization and remain a zone of preferential fluid circulation (e.g. Fayek and Kyser, 1997). 5.3. Implication for uranium metallogeny in others Paleoproterozoic successor basins: the case of Finland and Guyana U mineralization in Paleoproterozoic successor basins similar to those in the Beaverlodge and South Alligator River areas are also known in Finland and Guyana. 5.3.1. Uranium metallogenic in Paleoproterozoic successor basins in Finland Rocks of the Fennoscandinavian shield in central Finland (Fig. 5.4) are divided into the Karelian and Kola domains separated by the Lapland granulite belt (Sorjonen-Ward et al., 1994). The Kola domains comprise Archean and Paleoproterozoic terrains that were accreted to the Karelian domain between 2 Ga and 1.8 Ga (Sorjonen-Ward and Luukkonen, 2005) and consist of granitoids and gneisses (Gaál and Gorbatschev, 1987). The 2.5-1.85 Ga Karelian domain consists of Neoarchean basement and Paleoproterozoic sedimentary rocks with minor volcanic rocks and occurs in separate basins within Neoarchean basement blocks. 201

The early Paleoproterozoic Karelian rocks in the Koli province (Fig. 5.4) have been affected by amphibolite facies metamorphism and cut by 2.1–1.97 Ga tholeitic and 2.2 Ga spilitic intrusions (Saltikoff et al., 2006) (Fig. 5.5). The Karelian stratigraphy comprises the Sariolan (2.5–2.3 Ga), Jatulian (2.3–2.0 Ga), and Kalevan (2.0–1.9 Ga) units (Fig. 5.5; äikä, 202
