RESUMEN: En este trabajo se propone una hipotesis genetica para las mineralizaciones peribatoliticas de uranio Acehuche-Ceclavin, concebida a partir de sus caracteristicas metalogenicas, las correlaciones establecidas entre aquellas y las de la provincia de Salamanca y de datos geologicos, paleograficos y geotermicos regionales. Se sugiere que el U procede de las pizarras encajantes y/o de posibles yacimientos peribatoliticos mas antiguos, puesto en solucion por aguas meteoricas descendentes, bicarbonatadas, ligeramente acidas y enriquecidas en 12C. Estas aguas procederian de perfiles edaficos y/o ambientes continentales de sedimentacion finicretacicos, enriquecidos en materia organica humica y propios de climas subtropicales. La mineralizacion de U es epitermal y se origino probablemente durante el ascenso de las soluciones mineralizantes, las cuales fueron movilizadas por los efectos termicos e hidraulicos relacionados con la Fase Pirenaica de la Orogenia Alpina. Se senalan los procesos fisico-quimicos probables que intervinieron en el deposito de la mineralizacion uranifera, y se sugiere que las manifestaciones hidrotermales actuales de las provincias de Caceres, semejantes a las de Salamanca, representarian los vestigios geotermicos responsables de la formacion de las mineralizaciones estudiadas. Las caracteristicas fisico-quimicas de estas aguas termales serian aproximadamente las de las soluciones mineralizantes despues de haber depositado su carga metalica, transportada en solucion. ABSTRACT: A genetic hypothesis is proposed for the uraniferous peribatholitic mineralizations of the Acehuche-Ceclavin area. This hypothesis is based on their meta- Uogenic characteristics, on the correlations established between the former deposits and the ones from the province of Salamanca and on regional geological, paleographie and geothermal data. It is assumed that the U comes from the host shales and/or from possibly older peribatolithic deposits, leached by descending meteoric, bicarbonated, slightly acid and 12C- enriched waters. These waters would come from edaphic profiles and/or continental sedimentation environments, corresponding to the Mesozoic-Tertiary transition, enriched in humic organic matter and typical of subtropical climates. The U mineralization is epithermal and was probably originated by ascending mineralized solutions, which were mobilized by thermal and hydraulic effects associated with the Pyrinnaic phase of the Alpine Orogeny. The probable physico-chemical processes present during the deposition of the U ore are pointed out, and it is suggested that the present hydrothermal manifestations in the province of Caceres, similar to the ones from Salamanca, would represent residual geothermal phenomena, responsible for the formation of the studied mineralizations. The physico-chemical characteristics of these thermal waters would be more or less like the ones from the mineralizing solutions, once they have deposited their metallic load, transported by solution.
