Preliminary Notes on the 1951-52 Investigations of the Thomas Range Fluorite District, Juab County, Utah

From page 3: Uraniferous fluorspar pipes cut Paleozoic dolomite in the western part of the Thomas Range, along a ridge known locally as "Spor's Mountain". The fluorspar district (fig. 1) is approximately 50 miles northwest of Delta, Utah, and is in Tps. 12, 13 N., R. 12 W., Salt Lake principal meridian. From July to September 1952 approximately 10 man-months were spent in the district. During this time, field work started in 1951 was completed. Mapping and sampling the fluorspar deposits was done in 1950 (reported in TEI-136). The entire uraniferous fluorspar district has now been mapped at a scale of 1 inch to 1, 000 feet, the complete stratigraphic section of the district has been measured in detail, and additional mine mapping and sampling has been done.

Radioactive Fluorite in the Thomas Range, Juab County, Utah

From abstract: The Thomas Range fluorite district, on Spor's Mountain in the western part of the Thomas Range, Juab County, Utah, is approximately 6 miles long and 2 miles wide, and contains almost no unclaimed land. The fluorite production of the district, since its discovery in 1943, has been 35,700 short tons. It was obtained from 12 different ore bodies on eight different properties. G. P. Spor, Ray Spor, and Chad Spor; Albert Willden and Earl Willden; T. A. Claridge; and W. E. Black and F. B. Chesley were the only groups producing fluorite in the district in August 1950.

Geology of the Thomas Range Fluorite District, Juab County, Utah

From scope of report: "The fluorite district in the western part of the Thomas Range, Juab County, Utah, is one f the newest mining districts in western United States; since 1950 it has been the largest producer of fluorite west of the Mississippi River. The present report covers the geology of the entire fluorite producing area, and supplements an earlier report...on the individual mining properties."
