| Abstract | ||||
| The present paper studied the stratigraphic succession of Infra-Cambrian Taba Formation overlain by Sarbit El Khadim, Abu Hamata, Adedia and Um Bogma formations. The distribution of Taba Formation at the study area comprises, Khaboba, Gabal Adedia, El Ferah, El Marahil, Gabal Hemeiyir and Ma’ein localities. Gold is recoded mineralogically and geochemically at Khaboba locality. Also the gold is recorded at the sandstone of Sarabit El khadim (4.5ppm) and the dolostone of Um Bogma Formation (9.7ppm). The radiometric survey recorded thorium in Taba Formation up to 700 ppm. Also, thorium is predominant in sandstone of Adedia Formation at Ras El Homara and Syniea. The chemical analyses recorded uranium up to 1000 ppm in sandstone of Adedia Formation at Sarbit El Khadim locality (Temple) for the first time. | ||||
