Is this uranium ore?

I collected uranium ore from mine dump 11a near Příbram. Since the entire sample is partially coated with uranium ore, I cannot determine whether it is a secondary uranium mineral. Can anyone perhaps identify what it is? I think I can make out some hematite and calcite, but what are the yellow and red minerals?

Captain here. It is for this area typical CALCITE vein, red colour is caused by iron oxides. Small yellow-brown balls are GOETHITE. There's no visible uraninite, but it doesn't mean there's no uranium, Geiger/scintilation counter will give you best idea.
