I don't think there is any uranium to be had there. For such heavy elements to get deposited in ore near the surface takes special circumstances, such as those of Earth.

What pertinent "special circumstances" do you mean?
- fhood 9y ago
  Tectonic activety I suspect.
  - quotemstr 9y ago
    Tharsis region?
    - fhood 9y ago
      When was anything there last active?
      - quotemstr 9y ago
        Does it matter? It's not as if the deposits migrate.

        On Earth they certainly do, if you choose the right time scale.
        quotemstr 9y ago
        Right, because the Earth has tectonic activity. Mars? Not so much. Geology should have been stable over the 500 million years since Mars last had significant geological activity.
