Summary of Work on the Mineralogy and Petrography of Southeast Phosphates Through April 1952

From abstract: "In this report the mineralogy and uranium contents of southeast phosphates are discussed with reference to the lithologic units of the Hawthorn and Bone Valley formations and to waste slimes. In addition, the immediate problem of sampling leached-zone rock for process development studies is discussed and plans for future work (fiscal 1953) are presented."

The Uranium, Tin, and Copper Deposits at Majuba Hill, Pershing County, Nevada (open access)

The Uranium, Tin, and Copper Deposits at Majuba Hill, Pershing County, Nevada

From abstract: Uranium is associated with copper and tin ores in the Majuba Hill area, Antelope mining district, in the central part of the Antelope Range, Pershing County, Nev. About 23, 000 tons of copper and 200 tons of tin ore, a small quantity of lead-silver ore, and some arsenic-silver ore have been produced from the Majuba Hill mine, the Last Chance mine, and a mine in sec. 34, T. 33 N., R. 31 E.

Progress Report on Investigations of Western Phosphate Deposits (open access)

Progress Report on Investigations of Western Phosphate Deposits

From abstract: A comprehensive investigation of the western phosphate deposits, in progress since 1947, involves a study of the Phosphoria and Park City formations over an area of about 135,000 square miles in the states of Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, and Utah0 It was undertaken to acquire more data on the thickness, composition and quality, structure, and distribution of the deposits--data that would help industry select deposits suitable for mining and permit estimation of reserves, evaluation of potential byproduct elements, and establishment of the origin of the deposits.

The Geological Survey's Work on the Geology of Uranium and Thorium Deposits (open access)

The Geological Survey's Work on the Geology of Uranium and Thorium Deposits

From abstract: The Geological Survey has been studying the geology of uranium and thorium continuously since 1939, when it began a comprehensive investigation of the vanadium-uranium deposits of the Colorado Plateau. Greatly increased demand for uranium arising from the advent of controlled fission in 1942 resulted in widening of the study in 1944 to include other possible sources and in further expansion on behalf of the U. S. Atomic Energy Commission since 1947. The wide variety of materials investigated in this study are embraced by five somewhat arbitrary groups of related types of deposits as follows: (1) Igneous rocks, pegmatites, veins, and related deposits; (2) Deposits in sandstone of carnotite, copper-uranium, and other minerals; (3) Other consolidated sedimentary rocks; (4) Placers; and (5) Natural fluids.

Reconnaissance for Uranium-Bearing Carbonaceous Rocks in Northwestern Colorado, Southwestern Wyoming, and Adjacent Parts of Utah and Idaho (open access)

Reconnaissance for Uranium-Bearing Carbonaceous Rocks in Northwestern Colorado, Southwestern Wyoming, and Adjacent Parts of Utah and Idaho

Abstract: During parts of July, August, and September 1951, a reconnaissance was conducted in parts of Colorado, Wyoming, Utah, and Idaho in search of new deposits of uranium-bearing carbonaceous rocks. One significant uranium occurrence was found, the Fall Creek deposit, Bonneville County, Idaho. Several additional localities were discovered that contain uranium in concentrations many times that normally found in carbonaceous rocks.

Selected Papers on Uranium Deposits in the United States

From foreword: The six papers included in this report were prepared in an attempt to summarize briefly, and make available to the public, part of the information concerning uranium deposits that is in unpublished reports of work done by the U. S. Geological Survey under the auspices of the Manhattan Engineer District, and later, the U. S. Atomic Energy Commission.

Uranium Content of Chattanooga Shale in East-Central Tennessee and Southern Kentucky

From abstract: Uranium assays of all the samples collected by the Geological Survey from the Chattanooga shale in east-central Tennessee and southern Kentucky from 1947 to 1949 are assembled here, and conclusions are drawn concerning the distribution of the uranium. The 1108 assays from 80 localities provide reasonably reliable information on the stratigraphic and regional variations of the uranium content.
