Trace Elements Reconnaissance on the South Fork of Quartz Creek, Northeastern Seward Peninsula, Alaska

Abstract: Two uranium-bearing minerals, uranothorianite and thorite (?), were found in the stream gravels of the main branch of the South Fork of Quartz Creek, a tributary of the Kiwalik River. Although the bedrock source of the minerals was not located, the radioactive material was traced in slope wash well above the stream gravel. A detailed investigation of the area with more sensitive counters might reveal the source of the minerals and localities where the minerals are sufficiently concentrated to be minable.

Regional Geophysical Investigations of the Uravan Area, Colorado (open access)

Regional Geophysical Investigations of the Uravan Area, Colorado

From introduction: Geophysical surveys have been made in the Uravan area, in southwest Colorado, with the aim of providing information on regional geology, especially on those aspects that may not be apparent from surface evidence alone. Aeromagnetic surveys were made in 1952, and regional gravity surveys were made during the summers of 1953 and 1954. Figure 1 shows the area covered. Information on surface geology was obtained from publications, from geologists working on the Colorado Plateau, and from personal observations.

Occurrences of Uranium-Bearing Minerals in the St. Kevin District, Lake County, Colorado (open access)

Occurrences of Uranium-Bearing Minerals in the St. Kevin District, Lake County, Colorado

From abstract: Two hundred and seventy-one prospect pits, mine dumps, or mine workings within the Sugar Loaf-St. Kevin mining districts and vicinity, were tested for radioactivity by the U. S. Geological Survey in 1951 during six weeks of investigation on behalf of the Division of Raw Materials of the U. S. Atomic Energy Commission. One hundred and twenty-two weak radioactivity anomalies were found in the St. Kevin district and vicinity, and eight slight anomalies were noted in"-the Sugar Loaf district, which adjoins the St. Kevin district on the south, Most of the radioactivity anomalies were found in igneous and metamorphic rocks of pre=Cambrian age, but some were found in metalliferous veins of Tertiary age.

Radiometric and Mineralogic Studies of the Granitic Complex in the Cape Nome Area Seward Peninsula, Alaska

Abstract: An early report on the Cape Nome area, Seward Peninsula, Alaska, stated that granitic rocks there contain allanite as a common accessory mineral. Results of studies in 1947 indicate that very little allanite is present, and that the slight amount of radioactiity of the granitic complex is attributable to the accessory minerals zircon and sphene.

Theoretical Effect of Diffusion on Isotopic Abundance Ratios in Rocks and Associated Fluids (open access)

Theoretical Effect of Diffusion on Isotopic Abundance Ratios in Rocks and Associated Fluids

From Abstract: "It is proposed that diffusion be considered as a possible process of isotope fractionation taking place throughout geologic time. Both diffusion in solids and in liquids are considered as possible mechanisms, the latter being more important. Arguments are presented which show that if significant fractionation takes place within a crystal by outward diffusion under solid state conditions, enrichment will be evident only in elements of minor concentration."
