From: Genetic implications of Th/U, Th/K, and U/K ratios for U mineralizations: A case study from El-Missikat and El-Erediya shear zones, Eastern Desert, Egypt

Binary plot of Th and Th/U ratio vs. U for El-Missikat a and c and El-Erediya pink granite b and d, along with variation diagrams (e- El-Missikat and f- El-Erediya) of Th/U ratio showing that the granite-contained U is of both magmatic (2.5–5 Th/U ration) and hydrothermal sources (Th/U<2.5)
