Reconnaissance made of the Red Canyon area with the objective to locate areas favorable to the occurrence of uranium deposits, study the environment of the deposits, and to collect data for regional studies.

Abstract: Weak uranium mineralization is widespread throughout the Uinta Basin of northeastern Utah and northwestern Colorado, in rocks ranging in age from Permian to Eocene. No commercial ore bodies are known, although formations there have characteristics elsewhere considered favorable for ore deposition.

The following report describes samples of simplotite, a new calcium tetravanadite, that was discovered in five vanadium-uranium mines in the Colorado Plateau.

Report discussing the location, occurrence and chemical character of ground water in the Morrison formation near uranium-vanadium ore mineral deposits. Conclusions are included.

Report discussing a preliminary study of limonite sourced from nine localities of different types through Colorado, Utah and Wyoming, in the spring and fall of 1953. This study aimed to establish criteria for differentiating uranium- and thorium-related limonite and limonite not related to uranium or thorium. The report is divided by descriptions of each locality.

A report regarding a preliminary study of radioactive limonite localities in Colorado, Utah, and Wyoming. Concerns work done on behalf of the Division of Raw Materials of the U.S. Atomic energy Commission.

From Introduction: "In the Uravan and Gateway districts, the general character of the bedding in the ore-bearing sandstone and amount of alteration in associated mudstones, and the relation of these to each other, are the features most useful as large-scale guides. This report describes these features and their distribution, as well as some other significant geologic characteristics of the ore-bearing sandstone."

From introduction: Field work, begun in the field season of 1951, was continued by the U. S. Geological Survey in the White Canyon area, San Juan County, Utah, from May 1 to October 28, 1952, The objectives of this work were to study the habits and character of uranium deposits in the area, to determine control and guides to ore and suitable areas for physical exploration, and to map and study the ore-bearing and adjacent strata to determine the regional geologic controls and habits of the uranium deposits, The White Canyon project is part of a regional mapping program on the Colorado Plateau being conducted by the Geological Survey on behalf of the U. S. Atomic Energy Commission.

From introduction: This report briefly describes the geologic setting of the Capitol Reef area, uranium deposits, prospecting guides, and plans for continuation of this investigation.

Report issued by the Bureau of Mines over an annual study of synthetic liquid fuel production. Results of the annual study are discussed. This report includes maps, tables, illustrations, and photographs.

Report discussing a 1947 geological examination of the Shinarump Mesa in Emery County, Utah to find deposits of uraniferous hydrocarbons.

From to the files: The Shinarump-Moenkopi contact on Oljetoh Mesa in the Monument Valley district, Arizona-Utah, was examined from November 5 to 15, 1951, to determine the location of and the mineralization in Shinarump channels. Twenty-seven distinct channel outcrops were located and examined. Three of these channel outcrops are mineralized and the remaining 24 are barren. Plate I shows the distribution of the Shinarump, the Moenkopi, and the DeChelly member of the Cutler formation; the location of the Shinarmp channel outcrops; the channel trend where there is good evidence for such a trend. The Hoskinrnini tongue of the Cutler was mapped with the Moenkopi as it is not a good mappable unit in this area. The three mineralized outcrops are indicated by the letters A, G, and AA while the barren outcrops bear the letters B to F and H to Z.
