Abstract : Thirty-four radiometric anomalies with high contents of U ahd Th were identified in an area east of Jabal Az-Zuhd in the Midyan Region, northwest of Saudi Arabia. These anomalies occur in HaqI granite and associated aplites and pegmatites, mostly near its contact with a porphyritic mass of the younger Midyan granite. Fracturing, silicification and hematitization are common features in Haql granite. Uranophane was identified at one of the anomalous localities. High mobilization of U within the studied rocks was indicated by wide scatter in eU/U, Th/U and K/U ratios. It is suggested that the Haql granite was subjected to hydrothermal action causing redistribution and enrichment of U and Th
