The monzonite intrudes mafic igneous and Upper Cretaceous sedimentary rocks. The maximum equivalent-uranium content of the zircon is 0.14 percent, and the average content is probably near 0. 13 percent. Chemical analysis of one sample of the most radioactive zircon indicates approximately 0.12 percent uranium and 0.03 percent thoria. The radioactive elements apparently are most commonly associated with reddish-brown inclusions within the zircon crystals. \r\n\r\nTests of sulfide-bearing veins, black shales, and other rock types in the area around Flat showed no significant amount of radioactive material. \r\n\r\nAlthough there is little likelihood of finding high-grade uranium deposits in the area covered by the 1947 investigation, the fact that the predominant radioactive element in the monzonite is uranium may indicate that other intrusives of the same age in the Lower Yukon-Kuskokwim region might also contain uraniferous material. Possibilities of concentrations in attendant contact-metamorphic or vein deposits are suggested by a previously reported occurrence of zeunerite in a copper lode in this same general belt of intrusives.","language":"ENGLISH","publisher":"U.S. Dept. of the Interior, Geological Survey,","doi":"10.3133/cir255","usgsCitation":"White, M., and Killeen, P., 1953, Reconnaissance for radioactive deposits in the lower Yukon-Kuskokwim Highlands region, Alaska: U.S. Geological Survey Circular 255, iii, 18 p. :maps ;27 cm., https://doi.org/10.3133/cir255.","productDescription":"iii, 18 p. :maps ;27 cm.","costCenters":[],"links":[{"id":117678,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/circ/1953/0255/report-thumb.jpg"},{"id":30263,"rank":300,"type":{"id":11,"text":"Document"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/circ/1953/0255/report.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}}],"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"4f4e4a74e4b07f02db6440bb","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"White, M.G.","contributorId":52953,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"White","given":"M.G.","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":146550,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Killeen, P.L.","contributorId":69959,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Killeen","given":"P.L.","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":146551,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2}]}}

The prevailing structures are northwest-trending folds and faults. Ores valued at about $30,000,000 have been produced from this region. Silver, lead, zinc, and gold have accounted for most of this value, but small tonnages of copper, tungsten, and molybdenum have also been produced.

A study was made of the geology of the Shinarump No. 1 mine in order to determine the habits, ore controls, and possible origin of the deposit.</p>\n<br/>\n<p>Rocks of Permain, Triassic, and Jurassic age crop out in the area mapped. Uranium deposits are found in three zones in the lower 25 feet of the Upper Triassic Chinle formation. The Shinarump No. 1 mine, which is in the lowermost zone, is located on the west flank of the Moab anticline near the Moab fault.</p>\n<br/>\n<p>The Shinarump No. 1 uranium deposit consists of discontinuous lenticular layers of mineralized rock, irregular in outline, that, in general, follow the bedding. Ore minerals, mainly uranite, impregnate the rock. High-grade seams of uranite and chalcocite occur along bedding planes. Formation of unraninite is later than or simultaneous with most sulfides.

The porosity and permeability of the ore-bearing sandstone in one area are relatively low, porosity averaging about 15 percent and permeability ranging between 30 and 3300 millidarcys. Permeability studies in this same area show that sandstone classed as favorable for ore is slightly more permeable than and has nearly twice the transmissibility of sandstone classed as semifavorable; outcrop studies also suggest a lower transmissibility for sandstone that is unfavorable.</p>\n<p>Samples of water from the ore-bearing and associated strata show considerable variation in chemical charter. These water samples are generally low in uranium, vanadium, copper, and lead, most samples containing less than 1 part per million (ppm) of each metal.</p>\n<p>General geologic relations suggest that ground-water movement probably was active through the ore-bearing strata during their deposition and shortly afterward. Movement during this time probably occurred largely through the more permeable sand strata and in the general direction of initial dip and stream flow. During Cretaceous time, when several thousand feet of marine sediments accumulated over the Morrison, the water contained in the ore-bearing strata probably was immobile or nearly so and was protected from escape or contamination. Following Tertiary deformation and erosion, active ground-water circulation no doubt was restored, but because of the low permeability and the lenticular character and therefore low transmissibility of the ore-bearing sandstone, ground-water movement probably was slow. Faulting probably also influenced the direction and rate of ground-water movement during Tertiary time.</p>\n<p>Movement and localization of ground water would permit the concentration of metal-bearing solutions during Salt Wash and early Brushy Basin time in the beds that now contain ore deposits. It is more difficult to explain the formation of these deposits, which have a wide geographic distribution at a restricted stratigraphic position, from solutions circulating through the rocks at a later date.</p>\n<p>Whatever mode of origin is used to explain the deposits, geologists almost without exception, agree that the metals were transported by solutions that have migrated through the sediments for considerable distances.

The metasediments occur as inclusions that trend northeast in the granite. This trend is essentially parallel to the prevailing foliation in the granite. At places the metasediments are crosscut sharply by the granite to form angular, partly discordant, steep-walled bodies in the granite. Faults, confined to a narrow zone that extends through the mine, cut both the pre-Cambrian rocks and the contained sulfide deposits. The Copper King fault, a breccia zone, contains a deposit of pitchblende; the other faults are believed to be later than the ore.</p>\n<br/>\n<p>The two types of mineral deposits--massive sulfide and pitchblende deposits--in the mine area, are of widely different mineralogy, age, and origin. The massive sulfide deposits are small and consist of pyrite, sphalerite, chalcopyrite, pyrrhotite, and in places magnetite in amphibole skarn, mice skols, and quartzite. The deposit at the Copper King mine has yielded small quantities of high-grade sphalerite ore. The massive sulfides are pyrometasomatic deposits of pre-Cambrian age.</p>\n<br/>\n<p>The pitchblende at the Copper King mine is principally in the Copper King vein, a tight, hard breccia zone that cuts through both granite and the massive sulfide deposit. A small part of the pitchblende is in small fractures near the vein and in boxwork pyrite adjacent to the vein; the post-ore faults, close to their intersection with the Copper King vein, contain some radioactive material, but elsewhere, so far as is known, they are barren. The pitchblende in the deposit forms a steeply plunging ore shoot that has a horizontal length of more than 50 feet and a vertical height of about 85 feet. The thickness of the ore shoot averages about 2 feet, but it ranges from a feather edge to about 4 feet. The hard pitch-blende is intimately intergrown with siderite; other gangue minerals include pyrite, quartz, and finely comminuted fragments of the wall rocks. The vein was repeatedly reopened during mineral deposition as shown by several stages of brecciation and recommended by the vein matter. The pitchblende deposit probably formed at intermediate temperatures and depths and, according to the Pb/U ratio, is about 60 million years old--an early Tertiary age.</p>","language":"English","publisher":"U.S. Geological Survey","publisherLocation":"Reston, VA","doi":"10.3133/tei311","collaboration":"This report concerns work done on behalf of the Division of Raw Materials of the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission.","usgsCitation":"Sims, P.K., and Phair, G., 1952, Geology of the Copper King Mine area, Prairie Divide, Larimer County, Colorado (Part 1): U.S. Geological Survey Trace Elements Investigations 311, 44 p.; Plate 1: 19.44 x 14.66 inches; Plate 2: 19.39 x 14.74 inches; Plate 3: 10.33 x 19.71 inches, https://doi.org/10.3133/tei311.","productDescription":"44 p.; Plate 1: 19.44 x 14.66 inches; Plate 2: 19.39 x 14.74 inches; Plate 3: 10.33 x 19.71 inches","costCenters":[],"links":[{"id":258776,"rank":400,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/tei/311/plate-1.pdf","size":"1063","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":258777,"rank":401,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/tei/311/plate-2.pdf","size":"821","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":258778,"rank":402,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/tei/311/plate-3.pdf","size":"500","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":258779,"rank":300,"type":{"id":11,"text":"Document"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/tei/311/report.pdf","size":"5408","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":258780,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/tei/311/report-thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"Colorado","county":"Larimer County","otherGeospatial":"Copper King Mine;Prairie Divide","geographicExtents":"{ \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\", \"features\": [ { \"type\": \"Feature\", \"properties\": {}, \"geometry\": { \"type\": \"Polygon\", \"coordinates\": [ [ [ -106.1954,40.2578 ], [ -106.1954,40.9984 ], [ -104.9431,40.9984 ], [ -104.9431,40.2578 ], [ -106.1954,40.2578 ] ] ] } } ] }","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"4f4e4b24e4b07f02db6ae758","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Sims, Paul Kibler","contributorId":26759,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Sims","given":"Paul","email":"","middleInitial":"Kibler","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":284046,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Phair, George","contributorId":91512,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Phair","given":"George","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":284047,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2}]}}

To date, approximately 75 square miles, or about 20 percent of the area, has been mapped on a scale 1 inch=1 mile.\n\nThe White Canyon area is underlain by more than 2,000 feet of sedimentary rocks, Carboniferous to Jurassic(?) in age. The area is on the flank of the Elk Ridge anticline, and the strata have a regional dip of 1 deg to 2 deg SW.\n\nThe Shinarump conglomerate of Late Triassic age is the principal ore-bearing formation. The Shinarump consists of lenticular beds of sandstone, conglomeratic sandstone, clay, and siltstone, and ranges in thickness from a feather edge to as much as 75 feet. Locally the sandstones contain silicified and carbonized wood and fragments of charcoal. These vegetal remains are especially common in channel-fill deposits.\n\nJointing is prominent in the western part of the area, and apparently affects all formations. Adjacent to the joints some of the redbeds in the sequence are bleached.\n\nDeposits of copper-uranium minerals have been found in the Moenkopi, Shinarump, and Chinle formations, but the only production of ore has been from the Shinarump conglomerate. The largest concentration of these minerals is in the lower third of the Shinarump, and the deposits seem to be controlled in part by ancient channel fills and in part by fractures. Locally precipitation of the copper and uranium minerals apparently has been aided by charcoal and clays.\n\nVisible uranium minerals include both hard and soft pitchblende and secondary hydrosulfates, phosphates, and silicates. In addition, unidentified uranium compounds are present in carbonized wood and charcoal, and in veinlets of hydrocarbons. Base-metal sulfides have been identified in all prospects that extend beyond the oxidized zone. Secondary copper minerals in the oxidized zone include the hydrous sulfates and carbonates, and possibly chrysocolla. The principal gangue minerals are quartz, clay minerals, chlorite, oxides of iron and manganese, alunite, calcite, gypsum, pyrite, allophane, gibbsite, opal, and chalcedony.\n\nThe origin of the copper-uranium ores has not been determined, but the association of many deposits with fractures, the mineralogic assemblage, and a lead-uranium age determination of 50 to 60 million years for the pitchblende in the Happy Jack mine favor the hypothesis that the ores are of hydrothermal origin and were deposited in early Tertiary time.\n\nCriteria believed to be the most useful in prospecting for new deposits are (1) visible uranium minerals; (2) visible copper minerals; (3) alunite; (4) hydrocarbons; and (5) bleaching of the underlying Moenkopi formation.","language":"ENGLISH","publisher":"U.S. Geological Survey","doi":"10.3133/cir217","usgsCitation":"Benson, W.E., Trites, A., Beroni, E., and Feeger, J., 1952, Preliminary Report on the White Canyon Area, San Juan County, Utah: U.S. Geological Survey Circular 217, iii, 10 p., https://doi.org/10.3133/cir217.","productDescription":"iii, 10 p.","costCenters":[{"id":595,"text":"U.S. Geological Survey","active":false,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":12476,"rank":100,"type":{"id":15,"text":"Index Page"},"url":"https://www.nps.gov/history/history/online_books/geology/publications/circ/217/index.htm","linkFileType":{"id":5,"text":"html"}},{"id":124709,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/circ/1952/0217/report-thumb.jpg"},{"id":31266,"rank":400,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/circ/1952/0217/plate-1.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":31267,"rank":300,"type":{"id":11,"text":"Document"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/circ/1952/0217/report.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}}],"geographicExtents":"{ \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\", \"features\": [ { \"type\": \"Feature\", \"properties\": {}, \"geometry\": { \"type\": \"Polygon\", \"coordinates\": [ [ [ -110.5,37.25 ], [ -110.5,38 ], [ -109.75,38 ], [ -109.75,37.25 ], [ -110.5,37.25 ] ] ] } } ] }","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"4f4e4acce4b07f02db67e4c7","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Benson, William Edward Barnes","contributorId":64644,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Benson","given":"William","email":"","middleInitial":"Edward Barnes","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":148311,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Trites, A.F.

Approximately 75 square miles have been mapped by the Geological Survey on a scale of 1 inch equals 1 mile, using a combined aerial photography-plane table method. Structure contours were drawn on top of the Organ Rock member of the Cutler formation. Parts of the Gonway and North Point claims, 1/4 mile east of the Happy Jack mine, were mapped in detail.  The principal objectives of the investigations were: (1) to establish ore guides; (2) to select areas favorable for exploration; and (3) to map the general geology and to determine the regional relationships of the uranium deposits.  The White Canyon area is comprised of sedimentary rocks of Carboniferous to Jurassic age, more than 2,000 feet thick, having a regional dip of 1&deg; to 2&deg; SW. The nearest igneous rocks are in the Henry Mountains about 7 miles west of the northern part of the area; The Shinarump conglomerate of the late Triassic age, the principal ore horizon in the White Canyon area, consists of lenticular beds of sandstone, conglomeratic sandstone, conglomerate, clay, and siltstone. The Shinarump conglomerate, absent in places, is as much as 75 feet thick.  The sandstones locally contain molds of logs and fragments of altered volcanic ash.  Some of the logs have been replaced by copper and uranium minerals and iron oxides.  The clay and siltstone underlie and are interbedded with the sandstone, and are most common in channels that cut into the underlying Moenkopi formation.  The Shinarump conglomerate contains reworked Moenkopi siltstone fragments, clay balls, carbonized wood, and pebbles of quarts, quartzite, and chert.  Jointing is prominent in the Western part of the mapped area. The three most prominent joint trends are due east, N. 65&deg;-75&deg; W., and N. 65&deg;-75&deg; E.  All joints have vertical dips.  The red beds are bleached along some joints, especially those that trend N. 65&deg;-75&deg; W. All uranium ore produced has been from the lower part of the Shinarump conglomerate, where it commonly occurs with copper as disseminations and fracture coatings in sandstone. Uranium and copper minerals also occur in low-grade disseminated deposits in the lower Chinle and in the Moenkopi formation and in veins cutting these formations. Although some uranium deposits occur in Chinarump channels and scours, copper and uranium minerals along fractures suggest that channel control may be secondary.  Logs and clay balls apparently have exerted some chemical influences for deposition. The uranium occurs as the oxide in some deposits, and as secondary hydrous sulfates, phosphates, oxides, and silicates in these and several other deposits.  Charcoal, iron and manganese oxides, and veinlets of hydrocarbon are abnormally radioactive in most of the deposits. Base-metal sulfides are commonly found inside the oxidized zone.  Secondary copper minerals include the hydrous sulfates and carbonate. Gangue minerals include quarts, clay minerals, and manganese oxides, dickite (?), calcite, gypsum, pyrite, and chalcedony (?). Principal wall-rock alteration appears to have been silicification, clay alteration, and bleaching. Most of the shipped ore has contained more than 0.3 percent uranium. The ore also contains copper, commonly in grades lower than 1.0 percent.  Criteria believed to be most useful for prospecting for concealed uranium deposits are (1) visible uranium minerals; (2) sulfide minerals; (3) secondary copper minerals; (4) dickite (?); (5) hydrocarbons; and (6) bleaching and alteration of the Moenkopi formation.","language":"English","publisher":"U.S. Geological Survey","doi":"10.3133/tem325","collaboration":"This report concerns work done on behalf of the Division of Raw Materials of the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission","usgsCitation":"Benson, W.E., Trites, A.F., Beroni, E.P., and Feeger, J.A., 1952, Preliminary report on the White Canyon area, San Juan county, Utah: U.S. Geological Survey Trace Elements Memorandum 325, Report: 27 p.; 2 Plates: 20.77 x 16.37 inches and 26.04 x 30.11 inches, https://doi.org/10.3133/tem325.","productDescription":"Report: 27 p.; 2 Plates: 20.77 x 16.37 inches and 26.04 x 30.11 inches","numberOfPages":"27","additionalOnlineFiles":"Y","costCenters":[],"links":[{"id":277558,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/tem/0325/report-thumb.jpg"},{"id":283096,"type":{"id":11,"text":"Document"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/tem/0325/report.pdf"},{"id":283094,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/tem/0325/plate-2.pdf"},{"id":283095,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/tem/0325/plate-3.pdf"}],"country":"United States","state":"Utah","county":"San Juan County","otherGeospatial":"White Canyon","geographicExtents":"{ \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\", \"features\": [ { \"type\": \"Feature\", \"properties\": {}, \"geometry\": { \"type\": \"Polygon\", \"coordinates\": [ [ [ -110.5,37.25 ], [ -110.5,38.0 ], [ -109.75,38.0 ], [ -109.75,37.25 ], [ -110.5,37.25 ] ] ] } } ] }","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"523433efe4b0b9e9b3336dad","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Benson, William E.","contributorId":58931,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Benson","given":"William","email":"","middleInitial":"E.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":483909,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Trites, Albert F.
