Gamma-ray spectrometric data of the Wadi Dib area, located in the nort
h of the Eastern Desert, Egypt, have been treated qualitatively and qu
antitatively by applying various techniques. The potential of uranifer
ous provinces can be fully evaluated through an integrated program in
three ways. The first is a statistical treatment of data searching for
areas showing high uranium content within each unit. The second route
is by examining the stacked profiles for regions of high eU, eU/eTh a
nd eU/K. The third option is by calculating the average uranium, thori
um and potassium for each rock unit and comparing these with the publi
shed crustal average values. The spectrometric interpretation of the s
tudy area shows the locations and magnitudes of the deviations from th
e mean for eU, eU/eTh and eU/K and visualizes eight groups of statisti
cally high locations. In addition the results of this study indicate t
hat all types of rocks have radioelement average abundance values eith
er below or within the crustal average.
