Uranium-Bearing Copper Deposits in the Coyote Mining District, Mora County, New Mexico (open access)

Uranium-Bearing Copper Deposits in the Coyote Mining District, Mora County, New Mexico

Abstract: Uranium-bearing copper deposits occur in steeply dipping beds of the Sangre de Cristo formation of Permian and Pennsylvanian age south of Coyote, Mora County, New Mexico. Detailed mapping and sampling of these deposits indicate that they occur in carbonaceous zones in shales and arkosic sand-stones. Samples contain as much as 0.067 percent uranium. A yellow radioactive mineral found in the deposits was identified as metatyuyamunite. All of the samples were collected near the surface and are weathered. It is recommended that physical exploration be undertaken to determine the extent and grade of uranium-bearing zones at depth.
