Extended literature review describing the geologic history and characteristics of the Grants Uranium Region in northwestern New Mexico, particularly the uraniferous humate uranium deposits, "for the purpose of describing those geologic recognition criteria which seem most useful for evaluating areas with potential for new deposits" (p. 13).

From abstract: The objective of the work was to define areas showing surface indications of a generally higher uranium content where detailed exploration for uranium would most likely be successful.

From purpose and scope: The purpose of the National Uranium Resource Evaluation (NURE) program of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is to identify and delineate areas and environments within the Aztec 10X20 Quadrangle, New Mexico and Colorado, that exhibit characteristics favorable for the occurrence of uranium deposits that have the potential to contain at least 100 metric tons U3 08 total endowment with a minimum grade of 100 ppm (0.01 percent) U3 08 . Evaluation is based on geochemical, mineralogic, hydrologic, aerial radiometric, sedimentologic, and general geologic characteristics of the formations in the quadrangle.

From Introduction: "The Saint Johns Quadrangle, Arizona and New Mexico (Fig. 1), was evaluated to identify geologic environments and delineate areas that exhibit characteristics favorable for uranium deposits."

From Introduction: "The purpose of the National Uranium Resource Evaluation (NURE) program is to identify and delineate areas and environments within the Gallup 1º x 2º Quadrangle, Ariz. and New Mex., that exhibit characteristics favorable for the occurrence of uranium deposits that have the potential to contain at least 100 metric tons U3O8 total endowment with an average minimum grade of 100 ppm (0.01 percent)."

None

From Introduction: "The Clifton Quadrangle, Arizona and New Mexico (Fig. 1), was evaluated to identify geologic environments and delineate areas that exhibit characteristics favorable for uranium deposits. An area of approximately 20,600 km2 was evaluated during this study."

From Introduction: "The Douglas Quadrangle, Arizona and New Mexico (Fig. 1) was evaluated to identify geologic environments and delineate areas that exhibit characteristics favorable for uranium deposits."

From Introduction: "The evaluation involved a comprehensive review and synthesis of the geologic literature, knowledge of on-going research, fieldwork, and the work of several geologists with uranium-related experience and knowledge of the rocks in the quadrangle."

From Introduction: "The purpose of the National Uranium Resource Evaluation (NURE) program of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is to identify and delineate areas and environments with the Shiprock 1ºx2º Quadrangle, New Mex., Ariz., Colo., and Utah, that exhibit characteristics favorable for the occurrence of uranium deposits that have potential to contain at least 100 metric tons U3O8 total endowment with an average minimum grade of 100 ppm (0.01 percent)."

From Introduction: "The Santa Fe Quadrangle, New Mexico, was evaluated to identify and delineate areas and geologic units that exhibit characteristics favorable for the occurrence of uranium deposits. Table 1 shows the three phases of the evaluation and the purpose, length, and man-years spent."

From Introduction: "The Silver City Quadrangle, New Mexico and Arizona (Fig. 1), was evaluated to identify geologic environments and delineate areas that could containg uranium deposits aggregating at least 100 tons U3O8 at an average grade not less than 100 ppm U3O8."

From Purpose and Scope: "The Raton Quadrangle, New Mexico and Colorado (Fig. 1), was evaluated to identify geologic units and delineate areas that exhibit characteristics favorable for uranium deposits. All geologic environments exposed at the surface were considered. In the subsurface, all geologic environments to a depth of 1500 m were considered using either projection of findings for outcrops or subsurface information from borings."

From Purpose and Scope: "The Tularosa Quadrangle (2º), New Mexico (Fig. 1), was evaluated to identify geologic units and delineate specific areas that have characteristics favorable for occurrence of uranium deposits. All geologic environments to a depth of 1500 m were evaluated by means of surface investigations and examination of geophysical well logs."

From introduction: Geodata International, Incorporated, conducted an airborne gamma ray and total magnetic field survey which covered a region of North Texas, New Mexico and Oklahoma. The specific area of this report as outlined on Figure 1 was surveyed from an aircraft using large-volume radiation detectors with computer-controlled airborne equipment. Each map line was flown in an east-west direction with an average length of 120 miles and each tie line was flown in a north-south direction with an average length of 69 miles. Map lines and tie lines were surveyed spaced at intervals indicated on Figure 2. The data for the total area of Figure 1 were gathered between March-July, 1976.
