Preliminary Report of the Uranium Favorability of Shear Zones in the Crystalline Rocks of the Southern Appalachians (open access)

Preliminary Report of the Uranium Favorability of Shear Zones in the Crystalline Rocks of the Southern Appalachians

From summary: Three sheared areas in the crystalline Piedmont and Blue Ridge provinces, from which uranium occurrences or anomalous radioactivity have been reported, were studied to determine their favorability for uranium mineralization. The study, which involved a literature review, geologic reconnaissance, ground radiometric surveys, and sampling of rock outcrops for petrographic and chemical analyses, indicates that more-detailed investigations of these and similar areas are warranted.

Favorability for Uranium in Tertiary Sedimentary Rocks, Southwestern Montana (open access)

Favorability for Uranium in Tertiary Sedimentary Rocks, Southwestern Montana

The objective of the study was to evaluate the favorability for potential uranium resources in Tertiary and related strata. Past studies indicate that the Tertiary basins in southwestern Montana are worthy of further investigation because (1) several basins contain a thick sequence of continental sedimentary rocks, (2) several basins are near possible granitic source rocks that have known uranium occurrences, and (3) some of the Montana basins are geologically similar to basins in Wyoming that are host to important sandstone-type deposits. This study focuses on sedimentary rocks of Tertiary age, but includes some rocks of Late Cretaceous and Pleistocene ages. In some areas only a portion of the total Tertiary sedimentary section could be studied because of poor surface exposures and limited subsurface information.

Preliminary Evaluation of the Uranium Favorability in the Area Northeast of Gunnison, Colorado (open access)

Preliminary Evaluation of the Uranium Favorability in the Area Northeast of Gunnison, Colorado

Rock and stream-sediment samples were collected to define areas favorable for uranium deposits northeast of Gunnison, Colorado. Areas considered most favorable for further exploration are: (1) the Bronco Mountain area, approximately 10 mi south of Taylor Park Reservoir, (2) the area near the Big Red mine, and (3) the area 5 mi north-northeast of Taylor Park Reservoir. On the basis of known deposits in the Marshall Pass and Cochetopa districts, fault contacts between Precambrian granites and Paleozoic or Mesozoic sedimentary rocks are favorable structural sites.

Study to Develop Essential Planning Data for Conterminous U.S. Aerial Radiometric Surveys

From Introduction: "The objective of this study was to present the data in a form readily useful in planning the remainder of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) National Uranium Resource Evaluation (NURE) Program National Aerial Radiometric Reconnaissance Survey and to facilitate planning of similar, more detailed, followup surveys in the conterminous United States. The data are presented on microfiche (in pocket) and in digital form on magnetic tape (obtainable from the DOE computer data base). The National Topographic Map Series (NTMS) quadrangles at 1:250,000 scale were used for survey unit areas in compiling the data. The data formats are explained in subsection I.B, and the nature and origin of the planning factors are described in Section II."
