Deposits with Uranium mineralization have been associated with very similar geology here in Colorado, USA. I've had successes in locating uranium ore in sedimentary rock that was overlain and closely associated with volcanism. That area in your photo resembles geologic features at my discovery. My ores occur above the layer of bright white sandstones that overlay the dark red sandstones. That bedding sequence seems to be much the same as observed in your picture.
Here's a photo of my area in Colorado that you might see some similarity with that mountain that you've photographed in Argentina. [attachment=3405:badito_cone.JPG] Have you prospected your area for uranium? ASTROBLEME -------------------- Annual Dues Paying Member Since 2008
