Frank G. Lesure 1982 <p>The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) made a reconnaissance geochemical survey of the Ramseys Draft Addition (fig.1) to test for indistinct or unexposed mineral deposits that might be recognized by their geochemical halos.&nbsp; Thirty-three stream-sediment, two soil, and 22 rock samples were collected from the addition during the earlier study of Ramseys Draft Wilderness Study Area (Lesure and others, 1977).&nbsp; The author, assisted by James D. Bliss, April 1979, and Andrew E. Grosz, October 1979, collected 57 stream-sediment, 143 soil, and 22 rock samples in and near the addition to complete the sampling pattern.&nbsp; The earlier studies of Ramseys Draft outlined a low-grade stratabound copper deposit in greenish-gray sandstone of the Hampshire Formation of Late Devonian age (Lesure and Motooka, 1980), and the sampling in the addition was designed to check for more such deposits.</p> application/pdf 10.3133/mf1369B en U.S. Geological Survey Geochemical survey of the Ramseys Draft Addition, Augusta and Highland counties, Virginia reports
