From objectives: In the Salton Sea Quadrangle, reported uranium occurrences were evaluated, and geologic environments thought to be favorable were examined. This report includes the field data collected during that work and a summary of the quadrangle geology and uranium favorability. This is the final report to be prepared on this quadrangle under the NURE program.

Appendices containing data on uranium availability in the Salton Sea Quadrangle in addition to tabulated chemical and water analyses to accompany a report on U.S. uranium resources in California and Arizona.

From Introduction: "The National Uranium Resource Evaluation Program was established to evaluate uranium resources in the United States and to identify areas favorable for uranium exploration."

Introduction: The Hylas Zone, a northeast-trending belt of mylonite and ultramylonite, lies in the eastern Piedmont Province of Virginia and borders the northern end of the Richmond Basin (Fig. I-1). The north-trending Richmond Basin is 58 km long and a maximum of 16 km wide. Early indications of anomalous uranium concentrations in the region came from discussions with Jan Krason, GeoExplorers International, Denver, who had worked in the area. Examination of aerial radiometric data (Geodata International, 1975) and HSSR data (Cook, 1981) indicated anomalous values of uranium in the area northwest of Richmond. During June 1981, a 5-day trip to the Hylas area was undertaken to collect rock and ground-water samples and to identify possible source and host rocks of uranium.
