This report describes the distribution of geologic features that may be used as geologic guides to carnotite deposits, sedimentary trends of the ore-bearing sandstone, and regional structures within and adjacent to the Urvan mineral belt in the Urvan and Gateway mining districts, Montrose and Mesa Counties, Colorado.

An Interim report regarding exploration in the Atkinson Mesa Area, Montrose County, Colorado. Concerns work done on behalf of the Division of Raw Materials of the U.S.

Map to accompany report showing the preliminary reserve statement on the drilling of ore deposits in Atkinson Mesa, Colorado.

From Abstract: "The mineral constituents of churn drill cuttings from a well through the Bone Valley formation and into the Hawthorn formation were determined. The weight percent of each mineral is given, as well as a description of the samples and the methods used."

Report discussing a study of the mineralogy of various Jurassic and Cretaceous claystones and siltstones of Colorado and Utah. The study was aimed at determining which minerals characterize fine sediments which include important uraniferous strata.

From introduction: Since 1945 the Alaskan Trace Elements Unit of the U. S. Geological. Survey has been engaged in reconnaissance for radioactive deposits in Alaska, first on behalf of the Manhattan Engineer District, later on behalf of the Atomic Energy Commission. During the period January 1945 through December 1952, 42 reports in the Survey's Trace Elements Investigations series and 18 reports in the Trace Elements Memorandum series, a totaJ of 60 reports, have been completed or are in preparation Of these 60 reports 44 have been completed and transmitted to the Commission as of December 31, 1952.

From introduction: During three months of the summer of 1952, a geologic and radiometric reconnaissance examination for uraniferous materials in the peripheral parts of the Powder River structural basin in northeastern Wyoming (fig. 1) was made by the Survey on behalf of the Division of Raw Materials of the U. S. Atomic Energy Commission. The purpose was to find, describe, locate, and sample deposits of uraniferous or radioactive materials other than those in the central part of the Powder River Basin in the general vicinity of the Pumpkin Buttes.

From introduction: A program of uranium investigations and geologic mapping on the Navajo Indian Reservation in Apache and Navajo Counties, northeastern Arizona (fig. 1) was undertaken by the U. S. Geological Survey on behalf of the Atomic Energy Commission during the field seasons of 1951 and 1952. Field work on this program has been completed and preliminary copies of the maps, which cover an area of about 700 square miles, are inclosed as part of this report. The two principal objectives of the program were to establish geologic criteria useful as guides in prospecting for uranium deposits, and to appraise the favorableness of the Shinarump conglomerate and other Triassic rocks for the occurrence of uranium deposits in order to select areas that deserve exploration for concealed deposits.

Preliminary reserve statement on the drilling of ore deposits in Atkinson Mesa, Colorado.

From Abstract: "This report summarizes data available on radioactive source materials in Los Estados Unidos de Venezuela accumulated by geologists of the Dirección Técnica de Geología and antecedent agencies prior to June 1951, and by the writers from June to November 1951."

Report discussing a geological examination for radioactive materials in an area of about 5 square miles near Montezuma, Colorado during the fall of 1952.

Report discussing a 1949 geological examination for radioactive deposits in the Nixon Fork mining district of Medfra quadrangle, central Alaska.

A report regarding a reconnaissance done in 1949 in order to look for radioactive deposits in the Nixon Fork Mining District, located in the Medfra Quadrangle, in Central Alaska.

Report discussing the investigation of radioactive deposits in granite and search for bedrock source of radioactive materials in the Ruby-Poorman district of Alaska during July 1949.
