Preliminary Report on Lost Creek Schroeckingerite Area, Sweetwater County, Wyoming

Introduction: This report is a summary of the field work at the Lost Creek schroeckingerite deposit, Sweetwater County, Wyo. from July 1 through November 22, 1952. The objectives of field work at Lost Creek during the report period were to obtain additional data for calculating tonnage and grade and to obtain additional information on the controls and localization of schroeckingerite. In order to accomplish these objectives the Survey continued the exploration by means of trenching, mapped all trench walls (scale 1:120), mapped the exploration area at scales of 1:2400 and 1:9600, and carried on an extensive sampling program.

Preliminary Report on Geologic Investigations in White Canyon, San Juan County, Utah, 1952 (open access)

Preliminary Report on Geologic Investigations in White Canyon, San Juan County, Utah, 1952

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.

Preliminary Report of the Results of Reconnaissance for Uraniferous Materials in the Powder River Basin, Wyoming (open access)

Preliminary Report of the Results of Reconnaissance for Uraniferous Materials in the Powder River Basin, Wyoming

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.

Geophysical Investigations on the Gramlich Group, Paradox District, Montrose County, Colorado

From abstract: The U. S. Geological Survey made a geophysical investigation on the Gramlich group, Paradox district, Montrose County, Colo., during the period May 26 to July 11, 1952.. Electrical resistivity and self-potential surveys were made to determine the thickness of the upper Salt Wash sandstone and to test electrical prospecting methods in an area of shallow overburden. The investigations were made in conjunction with a diamond-drilling program.

Reconnaissance Geology of Placer Deposits Containing Radioactive Minerals in the Bear Valley District, Valley County, Idaho (open access)

Reconnaissance Geology of Placer Deposits Containing Radioactive Minerals in the Bear Valley District, Valley County, Idaho

From introduction: The Bear Valley district is situated in southwestern Idaho, in the drainage of the Middle Fork of the Salmon River (see fig. 1). The placer deposits were drilled by the U. S. Bureau of Mines in 1951 and 1952 to determine their content of monazite and "radioactive black minerals" (here referred to loosely as "radioactive blacks"). The purpose of the study outlined here was to provide a geologic background for an understanding of the origin and distribution of the placer minerals.

The Comet and Gray Eagle Mines and Adjacent Area, Jefferson County, Montana (open access)

The Comet and Gray Eagle Mines and Adjacent Area, Jefferson County, Montana

Abstract: Anomalous radioactivity and uranium minerals have been found on the dumps of the Comet, Gray Eagle, and Silver Hill mines situated along the Comet-Gray Eagle shear zone. The shear zone is from 50 to 200 feet in width and has been traced 5 1/2 miles. The Gray Eagle mine is currently being reopened but no underground work, with the exception of a few shallow shafts and adits, has been done between the Gray Eagle and Comet mines. Because of the high U3 08 content of the samples from the Comet and Gray Eagle dumps, it is recommended that a minimum of four diamond drill holes totaling 3, 000 feet be drilled by AEC between the two mines to intersect the shear zone 300 to 500 feet below the surface. This drilling should be made contingent upon the results of the Gray Eagle exploration.

A Radiometric Traverse Along the Alaska Railroad (open access)

A Radiometric Traverse Along the Alaska Railroad

Abstract: A sample of carnotite, thought to have been found in the Alaska Railroad belt, was assayed at the Fairbanks Assay Office in 1918, but the exact location from which the material had come was never determined. A "uranium" prospect, apparently unrelated to the carnotite occurrence, was recently staked 4 miles south of Healy. A radiometric traverse along the railroad was undertaken in 1950 in an effort to locate any possible deposits of radioactive material in the vicinity of the right-of-way: None were found.
