The following report is the third in the Geological Survey's series discussing rare or uncommon elements and possible sources. The element discussed in this report is indium, found abundantly in sphalerites.

From abstract: "This report summarizes our knowledge of the geology of radioactive raw materials and outlines the work done by the Geological Survey as well as that planned or recommended. An evaluation of uranium and thorium deposits is given in terms of known reserves and potential resources."

From abstract: Radium-bearing precipitates derived from 'oil-well fluids have been found in more than 60 oil and gas fields in Cowley, Butler, Marion, Sedgwick, and Greenwood Counties of southeastern Kansas. The abnormal radioactivity of these precipitates has been studied through the use of gamma-ray and sample logs; by radiometric, chemical petrographic, and spectrographic analyses of the precipitates and drill samples; and through the use of chemical analyses of brines collected from oil wells in the areas of high radioactivity.

Report discussing an experiment in which the abnormal radioactivity of radium-bearing precipitates derived from oil-well fluids taken from more than 60 oil and gas fields in Cowley, Butler, Marion, Sedgwick, and Greenwood Counties of southeastern Kansas were studied.

Report discussing the geology of the Quartz Creek pegmatite district of Gunnison County, Colorado. "The Quartz Creek pegmatite district includes an area of about 29 square miles in the vicinity of Quartz Creek in Gunnison County, Colorado. This area contains 1,803 pegmatites that are intruded into pre-Cambrian rocks."

From introduction: The study of the Crystal Mountain district, Larimer County, Colo., is but one phase of this post-World War II pegmatite program, in part carried out by the Geological Survey on behalf of the Division of Raw Materials of the Atomic Energy Commission.

A report regarding radioactivity investigations performed in the vicinity of the Flat, Lower Yukon-Kuskokwim region in Alaska,

Report discussing the analysis of metalliferous deposits from the Iliamna Lake-Lake Clark region. These deposits contained quantities of silver and hematite, which showed the possible presence of uranium as well.

A report regarding a field investigation done in 1949, made in order to search for radioactive deposits in the Iliamna Lake-Lake Clark Region, in Southwestern Alaska.

Abstract: "This report, designed to make available to field geologists and others information on identification and occurrence of uranium minerals of the Colorado Plateaus, contains physical properties, X-ray data, and in some instances results of chemical and spectrographic analysis of 24 uranium and 17 vanadium minerals. Also included is a table giving the optical properties of uranium minerals and a list of locations of mines from which the minerals have been identified."

Report discussing a geological examination that took place in August 1950. During this examination, an area about 6 miles north of Sundance in the Bear Lodge Mountains of Crook County, Wyoming, was examined for thorium, uranium, and rare-earth oxides and samples were collected.

A report regarding a preliminary reconnaissance survey for thorium, uranium, and rare-earth oxides in the bear lodge mountains, in Crook County, Wyoming. "The purpose of this reconnaissance was to obtain information on the mode of occurrence, extent, and reserves of these deposits. This work was done on behalf of the Division of Raw Materials of the Atomic Energy Commission."

Abstract: Pitchblende was discovered in July 1951 in the Alma mining district, Park County, Colo0 , by the U0 S. Geological Survey acting on behalf of the U. So Atomic Energy Commission. The pitchblende is associated with Tertiary veins of three different geologic environments: 1) veins in pre-Cambrian rocks, 2) the London vein system the footwall block of the London fault, and 3) veins in a mineralized area east of the Cooper Gulch fault. Pitchblende is probably not associated with silver-lead replacement deposits in dolomite. Secondary uranium minerals, as yet undetermined, are associated with pitchblende on two London vein system mine dumps, and occur in oxidized vein material.Lfrom dumps of mines in the other environments. Although none of the known occurrences are of commercial importance, the Alma district is considered a moderately favorable area in which to prospect for uranium ore, because twenty-four of the forty-three localities examined show anomalous radioactivity; samples from anomalously radioactive localities, which include mine dumps and some underground workings, have uranium contents ranging from 0.001 to l.66 percent.

Report discussing the results of a 1952 reconnaissance for radioactive deposits that was conducted in selected areas of eastern Alaska.
