Treasure Hill Area, Larimer County, Colorado (open access)

Treasure Hill Area, Larimer County, Colorado

Abstract: The Treasure Hill area consists of eight mining-lode claims in secs. 10 and 15, T. 9 N., R. 70 W., Larimer County, Colo. All of the workings were examined and samples were taken from most of them. The results of the examination indicate that there is little or no detectable radioactivity in the schist and granite of the area.

Preliminary Summary of a Reconnaissance for Uranium in the Alaska Railroad-Iliamna Region During 1951 (open access)

Preliminary Summary of a Reconnaissance for Uranium in the Alaska Railroad-Iliamna Region During 1951

From abstract: Radiometric reconnaissance in several districts of the Alaska Railroad-Iliamna region during 1951 found no radioactive material in excess of 0.002 percent equivalent uranium associated with certain lode deposits that previously were deemed favorable for the occurrence of uranium because they contain mineral assemblages similar to uranium-producing lodes elsewhere.

Radiometric Reconnaissance Examination in Southeastern Pennsylvania and Western New Jersey (open access)

Radiometric Reconnaissance Examination in Southeastern Pennsylvania and Western New Jersey

Abstract: In May 1950, 350 miles of road was traversed in the vicinity of a torbernite locality in New Jersey. The radioactivity of the area traversed was two to three times above normal, averaging 0.003 percent equivalent uranium. It is estimated that there is 1,000 tons of rock averaging 0.009 percent uranium at the torbernite locality. The presence of this area of above-normal radioactivity suggests that further study is needed in the Piedmont belt and the flanking sediments, which may contain economic deposits of uranium minerals.

From abstract: The Merry Widow claim is near the center of sec. 22, T. 20 S., R, 15 W, New Mexico principal meridian, about 1 mile west of White Signal, Grant County, N. Mex. Secondary uranium minerals were discovered in the White Signal district in the early 1920's although several mines in the district had been worked previously for gold, silver, and copper. The writers mapped the Merry Widow claim in 1950, collected 133 samples, and logged the core from one diamond-drill hole on the Merry Widow claim.

Fluorimetric Determination of Uranium in Shales, Lignites, and Monazites After Alkali Carbonate Separation (open access)

Fluorimetric Determination of Uranium in Shales, Lignites, and Monazites After Alkali Carbonate Separation

Abstract: "Comparative data are presented on separations of microgram amounts of uranium from milligram amounts of various metal ions with Na2Co3-K2CO3, Na2CO3-K2CO3-H2O2, and Na2CO3-NaClO. The Na2CO3-K2CO3 separation procedure is applied to the analysis of shales, lignites, and monazites. This method will determine as little as 0.001 percent uranium in shales and lignites and 0.01 percent uranium in monazites."
