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: All geologic conditions in the Dillon Quadrangle (Montana and Idaho) have been thoroughly examined, and, using National Uranium Resource Evaluation criteria, environments are favorable for uranium deposits along fractured zones of Precambrian Y metasediments, in the McGowan Creek Formation, and in some Tertiary sedimentary basins.

From purpose and scope: The Lubbock, Texas, Quadrangle of the National Topographic Map Series (NTMS), scale 1:250,000, was evaluated to identify and delineate geologic environments favorable for the occurrence of uranium. The study was conducted by the Bureau of Economic Geology (BEG) of the University of Texas at Austin, under subcontract to Bendix Field Engineering Corporation (BFEC), for the National Uranium Resource Evaluation (NURE) program, managed by the Grand Junction Office of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE).

From purpose and study: The Durango Quadrangle, southwest Colorado (Fig. 1), was evaluated to identify geologic units and to delineate areas that exhibit characteristics favorable for uranium deposits. Geologic environments were evaluated to a depth of 1500 m based on recognition criteria (Mickle and Mathews, eds., 1978) prepared for the National Uranium Resource Evaluation (NURE) program. A favorable environment, as defined for this program, is an environment that could contain at least 100 tons U308 in deposits with an average grade no less than 100 ppm U308 . Environments that did not meet the NURE criteria were categorized as unfavorable. Some of the subsurface and several areas of restricted access were categorized as unevaluated because insufficient data exist for proper evaluation.

From Introduction: "The Montana Quadrangle of the National Topographic Map Series (NTMS), scale 1:250,000, in west-central Colorado was evaluated for geologic environments favorable for uranium deposits."

From Introduction: "The Williams Quadrangle, Arizona (Fig. 1), was evaluated to identify geologic environments and delineate areas that exhibit characteristics favorable for uranium deposits. Evaluations were based primarily on surface investigations; only limited subsurface data were available."

From Purpose and Scope: "The Dubois Quadrangle, Idaho and Montana (Fig. 1), was studied to identify geologic environments and delineate areas favorable for uranium deposits. These reports summarized field observations and contained preliminary evaluations of geologic environments for uranium deposition. The identification of environments favorable for uranium deposition involved collection and interpretation of radiometric, geochemical, and geologic data."

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."

Abstract: This data report presents supplemental analytical results for 1328 stream sediment samples that were collected as part of the SRL-NURE reconnaissance in the National Topographic Map Series (NTMS) Williamsport 1 x 2 quadrangle. Results are reported for 23 elements (extractable U, Ag, As, Ba, Be, Ca, Co, Cr, Cu, K, Li, Mg, Mo, Nb, Ni, P, Pb, Se, Sn, Sr, W, Y, and Zn). Analyses are tabulated and displayed graphically on microfiche. Field data and neutron activation analysis (NAA) were open-filed in DPST-79-146-8 [GJBX-152(79)].
