Identification and Occurrence of Uranium and Vanadium Minerals From the Colorado Plateaus

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."

Reconnaissance for radioactivity in the metal-mining districts of the San Juan Mountains, Colorado

"A reconnaissance for radioactive minerals in the San Juan Mountains, Colo. (fig. 1), was started in the western part by W.S. Burbank and C.T. Pierson in 1951, and continued in 1952 by Pierson, W.F. Weeks, and F.J. Kleinhampl, and in 1953 by Pierson and T.H.W. Loomis of the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission in the western part of the mountains in reconnaissance and in examination of a pitchblende occurrence found by Loomis. The work on which this paper is based was done by the Geological Survey on behalf of the Division of Raw Materials of the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission."

Results of Reconnaissance for Radioactivity in Parts of the Alma District, Park County, Colorado

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.
