Heavy mineral prospecting in Pakistan
Karl W. Stauffer, James Alfred Calkins
1975, Open-File Report 75-359
Heavy-mineral prospecting is a method of tracing potential ore minerals to their source by systematically examining the heavy minerals of stream sands. The heavy minerals are partially concentrated in the field by panning. In the laboratory the heavy minerals are further concentrated by floating off the quartz and feldspar in...
Geology of the Khyber Pass, Khyber Agency, Pakistan
Karl W. Stauffer
1975, Open-File Report 75-272
The defile of the Khyber Pass is cut in the massive gray recrystallized Khyber Limestone whose thickness exceeds 3,000 feet. Although no fossils have been found in the immediate vicinity of the pass, assemblages collected at the end of the last century from 5 miles south of the pass, and...
Geology of the Gilgit-Hispar area, Gilgit Agency, Pakistan
Karl W. Stauffer
1975, Open-File Report 75-273
The Gilgit-Hispar area contains a large variety of igneous and metamorphic rocks, which have been grouped into seven general lithologic units, five composed largely of metamorphic rocks and two of intrusive rocks. The metamorphic units consist of probable correlatives of the Precambrian(?) Salkhala Series; the upper Paleozoic, slightly metamorphosed schists,...

Geochemical prospecting for copper and nickel in the Wulgai and Tor Tangi areas southeast of Hindubagh, Quetta Division, Pakistan
S. Anthony Stanin, M.A. Wahid, Shamsher Khan
1975, Open-File Report 75-163
Showings of magnetite, copper, and possible nickel mineralization in the Hindubagh chromite mining district are near Wulgai and Tor Tangi. Several hundred samples of clastic material from dry streambeds in these areas were sieved for the minus-80-mesh fraction and analyzed for copper using 2, 2'-biquinoline and for nickel using alpha-furildioxime....
A program for mass spectrometer control and data processing analyses in isotope geology; written in BASIC for an 8K Nova 1120 computer
J. S. Stacey, J. Hope
1975, Open-File Report 75-127
A system is described which uses a minicomputer to control a surface ionization mass spectrometer in the peak switching mode, with the object of computing isotopic abundance ratios of elements of geologic interest. The program uses the BASIC language and is sufficiently flexible to be used for multiblock analyses of...

A mineralogical study of the Guanajuato, Mexico, silver ores
Ivan Franklin Wilson, Charles Milton, Joseph Rollins Houston
1975, Open-File Report 75-70
The silver-gold ores now being worked in the Guanajuato, Mexico, mining district consist chiefly of argentite and native gold-silver, with minor amounts of polybasite, pyrargyrite, and some argyrodite, a silver germanium sulfide. With these are always associated galena, sphalerite, chalcopyrite, pyrite, and minor amounts of marcasite. The gangue is generally...

Potash and other evaporite resources of Afghanistan
George I. Smith
1975, Open-File Report 75-89
On the basis of earlier work and geologic settings, seven areas in Afganistan were identified as being favorable for evaporite deposits other than halite. Five were known or suspected to contain continental brines or evaporites; two are diapirs composed of deformed marine evaporites. They were visited, samples, and are here...
Mineral deposits in western Saudi Arabia; a preliminary report
Ralph Jackson Roberts, William R. Greenwood, Ronald G. Worl, F. C. W. Dodge, Thor H. Kiilsgaard
1975, Open-File Report 75-654
Mineral deposits in Saudi Arabia include a variety of deposits which were formed in many geologic environments. These include magmatic and late magmatic deposits in igneous masses, contact metamorphic deposits along the margins of igneous bodies, and stratiform sulfide deposits and veins. Notable deposits of sedimentary origin include deposits of...

1975, Open-File Report 75-557
Unconsolidated deposits of sand, silt, clay, and gravel compose the principal aquifer in Greeley and Wichita Counties. The deposits are as much as 300 feet (91 m) 2/ thick, of which as much as 145 feet (44 m) is saturated.In 1972, there were about 1,040 large-capacity wells--yielding 100 gallons per...

1975, Open-File Report 75-410
Geologic studies in connection with Project Discus Thrower have furnished detailed stratigraphic and structural information about northwestern Yucca Flat. The Paleozoic rocks consist of a lower carbonate sequence, argillite of the Eleana Formation, and an upper carbonate sequence. The distribution of these rocks suggests that both top and bottom of...
