The Distribution of Calcretes and Gypcretes in Southwestern United States and Their Uranium Favorability: Based on a Study of Deposits in Western Australia and South West Africa (Namibia) (open access)

The Distribution of Calcretes and Gypcretes in Southwestern United States and Their Uranium Favorability: Based on a Study of Deposits in Western Australia and South West Africa (Namibia)

From summary: The procedure has been to search for areas in which nonpedogenic calcrete or gypcrete may have developed and where additional study or exploration might be justified.

Preliminary Raw Data Release: Charlotte 1° x 2° NTMS Area, North Carolina and South Carolina (open access)

Preliminary Raw Data Release: Charlotte 1° x 2° NTMS Area, North Carolina and South Carolina

From abstract: This report presents preliminary results of stream sediment and ground water reconnaissance in the Charlotte National Topographic Map Series (NTMS) 1° x 2° quadrangle. Stream sediment samples were collected from small streams at 1254 sites for a nominal density of one site per 13 square kilometers (five square miles) in rural areas. Ground water samples were collected at 759 sites for nominal density of one site per 25 square kilometers (ten square miles).

Design of a Groundwater Sampling Network for Minnesota (open access)

Design of a Groundwater Sampling Network for Minnesota

From introduction: This folio was compiled to facilitate the use of groundwater as a sampling medium to aid in exploration for hitherto undiscovered deposits of uranium in the subsurface rocks of Minnesota. The report consists of the following sheets of the hydrogeologic map of Minnesota: 1) map of bedrock hydrogeology, 2) generalized cross sections of the hydrogeologic map of Minnesota, showing both Quaternary deposits and bedrock, 3) map of waterwells that penetrate Precambrian rocks in Minnesota. A list of these wells, showing locations, names of owners, type of Precambrian aquifers penetrated, lithologic material of the aquifers, and well depths is provided in the appendix to this report.

Preliminary Study of the Uranium Favorability of Granitic and Contact-Metamorphic Rocks of the Owens Valley Area, Inyo and Mono Counties California, and Esmeralda and Mineral Counties, Nevada (open access)

Preliminary Study of the Uranium Favorability of Granitic and Contact-Metamorphic Rocks of the Owens Valley Area, Inyo and Mono Counties California, and Esmeralda and Mineral Counties, Nevada

From summary: Granitic and contact-metamorphic rocks of the Owens Valley area were sampled to determine their favorability for uranium. Uranium deposits associated with these rocks were examined to determine the mode of occurrence.

Preliminary Study of Uranium Favorability of the Wilcox and Claiborne Groups (Eocene) in Texas (open access)

Preliminary Study of Uranium Favorability of the Wilcox and Claiborne Groups (Eocene) in Texas

From introduction: This report presents the results of a preliminary study of the uranium favorability of lower and middle Eocene rocks in the Wilcox and Claiborne Groups in the Texas Gulf Coastal Plain. The project began October 1, 1976, and was completed March 1, 1977, by personnel of Bendix Field Engineering Corporation (BFEC) under the auspices of the U.S. Energy Research and Development Administration (ERDA).

Preliminary Study of the Uranium Potential of the Triassic Sanford Basin and Colon Cross Structure, North Carolina (open access)

Preliminary Study of the Uranium Potential of the Triassic Sanford Basin and Colon Cross Structure, North Carolina

From summary: A preliminary geologic investigation was conducted to determine if the Triassic sedimentary rocks of the Sanford basin and Colon cross structure in North Carolina are favorable hosts for uranium deposits. Rocks of the adjacent Carolina slate belt were also examined as a potential source of uranium
