This report summarizes the results of this exploration and outlines the general plan for additional exploration, all of which is being done on behalf of the division of raw Materials of the US Atomic Energy Commission.

Report discussing a study in which the plant analysis method of botanical prospecting for concealed uranium deposits was employed in the Deer Flat area, White Canyon district, San Juan County, Utah. The study took place from May to July, 1953.

An interim report regarding botanical prospecting for uranium in the Shinarum conglomerate at Deer Flat, in the White Canyon District, San Juan County, Utah. This report concerns work done on behalf of the Division of Raw Materials of the U.s. Atomic Energy Commission.

From abstract: A refraction seismic survey was made on Holiday Mesa, San Juan County, Utah, between May 21 and June 11, 1954, prior to an exploratory drilling program made by the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission to delineate channel trends in the area.

Report discussing the geology of the Red House Cliffs area, which comprises 296 square miles of canyon and plateau country in southwestern San Juan County, Utah.

Abstract: A reconnaissance for radioactive minerals in the Shinarump conglomerate of Triassic age exposed north of the San Juan River at Balanced Rock anticline was made in July 1953. The purpose of the reconnaissance was to search for any exposed uranium minerals and to determine the favorability of the Shinarump for accumulation of uranium-ore deposits. No uranium minerals or places of abnormally high radioactivity were observed. However, nine exposed channels at the base of the Shinarump conglomerate and other channels, probably present where the base of the Shinarump is concealed, indicate the Shinarump may be favorable for uranium-ore deposits.

Report discussing the mineralogy of the large uranium deposit at the Happy Jack mine. The deposit is located in beds of the Triassic Shinarump conglomerate that that fill a channel cut into the Moenkopi formation.

A report regarding uranium deposits at the Jomac Mine, located in the White Canyon Area, San Juan County, Utah. This report contains work done on behalf of the Division of Raw Materials of the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission.

From abstract: The Happy Jack mine is in the White Canyon area, San Juan County, Utah. Production is from high-grade uranium deposits in the Shinarump conglomerate of Triassic age. The Shinarump strata range from 161/2 to 40 feet in thickness and the lower part of these beds fills an eastward-trending channel that is more than 750 feet wide and 10 feet deep.
