A structurally complex Paleozoic succession in southwestern Sinai hosts uranium and associated metals, and brittle deformation controls fluid flow and ore localization. The study integrates structural mapping with mineralogical, geochemical, and radiometric data to evaluate how fault architecture controls uranium and polymetallic mineral occurrences in the east Abu Zeneima area. Eleven representative samples were collected from major fault zones and host lithofacies, and 652 ground gamma-ray spectrometric measurements were acquired across mineralized localities and Paleozoic stratigraphic units. Heavy mineral separation, SEM–BSE/EDX, X-ray diffraction, and whole-rock geochemistry were used to identify ore and accessory phases and quantify their elemental composition. The middle carbonate member of the Um Bogma Formation is the primary host lithology and contains primary U dispersed within carbonaceous sandy dolostone and locally abundant secondary U phases coexisting with Cu–Fe–Mn phases and REE-bearing silicates and phosphates. Uranium enrichment (locally >2900 ppm eU) in the targeted anomalous samples shows a positive association with P₂O₅ and a weaker positive association with ΣREEs. Together with SEM–BSE/EDX and XRD identification of uranyl phosphates and REE-bearing accessory minerals, these observations suggest that phosphate-bearing secondary phases and REE-rich accessories locally contributed to uranium hosting. Seventy-four radioactive anomalies are predominantly associated with normal faults and are concentrated along fault cores and highly fractured downthrown blocks, especially along a NW–SE trend that forms the main mineralized corridor. The study findings emphasize the importance of fault zone architecture for targeting new uranium resources in Paleozoic basins.
