From Introduction: "The Cortez 1º x 2º Quadrangle, southwestern Colorado and southeastern Utah (Fig. 1), was studied to identify and evaluate areas and geologic formations that are favorable for the occurrence of uranium deposits of specific minimum size and grade."

From Introduction: "The Moab 1ºX2º Quadrangle, east-central Utah and west-central Colorado (Fig. 1) was studied to identify and evaluate areas and geologic formations that are favorable for the occurrence of uranium deposits of specific minimum size and grade."

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 Purpose and Scope of Study: "The purpose of this study is to provide an evaluation of the favorability of the Vernal, Colorado-Utah, 1º x 2º Quadrangle (Fig. 1) for the occurrence of uranium deposits. The study restricted to indicating geologic units and areas favorable for uranium deposits containing at least 100 tons of U3O8 with an average grade of .01 percent U3O8 or more and less than 1,500m (5,000 ft) deep."
