A Preliminary Summary Report of a Reconnaissance of Sandstone-Type Copper-Uranium Deposits in Parts of New Mexico, Colorado, Utah, Idaho, and Wyoming

From introduction: The reconnaissance was made during the summer of 1951 by two field parties: (1) a reconnaissance in parts of Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona by Russell Gibson, and (2) Geological Survey reconnaissance in parts of New Mexico,.Colorado, Utah, Idaho, and Wyoming (by the writers), the results of which are summarized in this report.

Preliminary Summary of a Reconnaissance for Uranium in the Alaska Railroad-Iliamna Region During 1951 (open access)

Preliminary Summary of a Reconnaissance for Uranium in the Alaska Railroad-Iliamna Region During 1951

From abstract: Radiometric reconnaissance in several districts of the Alaska Railroad-Iliamna region during 1951 found no radioactive material in excess of 0.002 percent equivalent uranium associated with certain lode deposits that previously were deemed favorable for the occurrence of uranium because they contain mineral assemblages similar to uranium-producing lodes elsewhere.

Preliminary Summary of Reconnaissance for Uranium in the Gulf of Alaska Region During 1951

Abstract: No radioactive material in excess of 0.002 percent equivalent uranium was found during 1951 in a reconnaissance of possibly favorable lode deposits in the Nuka Bay, Moose Pass-Hope, and Girdwood areas of the Gulf of Alaska region.

Radiometric Reconnaissance Examination in Southeastern Pennsylvania and Western New Jersey (open access)

Radiometric Reconnaissance Examination in Southeastern Pennsylvania and Western New Jersey

Abstract: In May 1950, 350 miles of road was traversed in the vicinity of a torbernite locality in New Jersey. The radioactivity of the area traversed was two to three times above normal, averaging 0.003 percent equivalent uranium. It is estimated that there is 1,000 tons of rock averaging 0.009 percent uranium at the torbernite locality. The presence of this area of above-normal radioactivity suggests that further study is needed in the Piedmont belt and the flanking sediments, which may contain economic deposits of uranium minerals.

Treasure Hill Area, Larimer County, Colorado (open access)

Treasure Hill Area, Larimer County, Colorado

Abstract: The Treasure Hill area consists of eight mining-lode claims in secs. 10 and 15, T. 9 N., R. 70 W., Larimer County, Colo. All of the workings were examined and samples were taken from most of them. The results of the examination indicate that there is little or no detectable radioactivity in the schist and granite of the area.
