Ground-Water Investigations of the Project GNOME Area, Eddy and Lea Counties, New Mexico

Description: From abstract: The U.S. Atomic Energy Commission, through the Office of Test Operations, Albuquerque Operations Office, plans to detonate a nuclear device in a massive salt bed 1,200 feet beneath the land surface. The project, known as Project Gnome, is an element of the Plowshare program--a study of peacetime applications of nuclear fission. The location of the proposed underground shot is in a sparsely-populated area in southeastern Eddy County, N. Mex., east of the Pecos River and about 25 m… more

Preliminary Appraisal of the Carnotite Resources of the Carrizo Mountains Area, San Juan County, New Mexico, and Apache County, Arizona

Description: From introduction: A rapid appraisal of the carnotite resources of the Salt Wash sandstone member of the Morrison formation in the Carrizo Mountains area was undertaken by the U. S. Geological Survey late in 1951 in connection with its current project of geologic mapping of the area. Though brief and preliminary, this report provides a summary of production trends and estimated reserves in the area and indicates as far as possible the total potential of the area as a source of uranium. This inf… more

Description of Core from Atomic Energy Commission Drill Hole Number 1, Project Gnome, Eddy County, New Mexico

Description: From abstract: Drilling at the Project GNOME site, which is in the approximate center of sec. 34, T. 23 S., R. 30 E., NMPM, was undertaken in August and September 1958 by the W-W Drilling Company. The purpose of drilling this hole, which is at the precise location of the proposed shaft, was to determine (1) the lithologic and water-bearing characteristics of the rocks of Cenozoic, Mesozoic, and Paleozoic age that lie above the salt-bearing sequence in the Salado formation; (2) the depth to the … more

Uranium-Bearing Nickel-Cobalt-Native Silver Deposits, Black Hawk District, Grant County, New Mexico

Description: From introduction: Mining began in the Black Hawk (Bullard Peak) district in 1881 when high-grade silver ore was found at the Alhambra mine. Most of the silver produced was native silver, associated with nickel and cobalt arsenides and sulfides. In 1920 pitchblende was recognized on the dumps of some of the old mines, and since 1949 the district has been of interest as a possible source of ores that contain uranium, nickel, and cobalt.

Uranium Occurrences on the Merry Widow Claim, White Signal District, Grant County, New Mexico

Description: 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 Wi… more

Geologic Summary of the San Juan Basin, New Mexico, with Reference to Disposal of Liquid Radioactive Waste

Description: From introduction: Approximately fifty radioactive deposits and nearly fifty properties not abnormally radioactive were examined during a geologic reconnaissance for radioactive minerals in Idaho, Washington, and western Montana during the period July 1952 -- June 1955. The most important uranium deposits are in or near granitic to quartz monzonitic intrusions of probable Cretaceous age in central and northern Idaho, westernmost Montana, and northeastern Washington. The purpose of these reports… more

Uranium-Bearing Copper Deposits in the Coyote District, Mora County, New Mexico

Description: Abstract: Uranium-bearing copper deposits occur in steeply dipping beds of the Sangre de Cristo formation of Pennsylvanian and Permian age south of Coyote, Mora County, N. Mex. Mapping and sampling of these deposits indicate that they occur in lenticular carbonaceous zones in shales and arkosic sandstones. Samples from these zones contain as much as 0.067 percent uranium and average 3 percent copper. Metatyuyamunite is disseminated in some of the arkosic sandstone beds, and uraninite was identi… more

The Copper and Uranium Deposits of the Coyote District, Mora County, New Mexico

Description: From abstract: The copper and uranium-vanadium deposits of the Coyote district, Mora County, N. Mex., are confined to the lower 2,000 feet of the Sangre de Cristo formation of Pennsylvanian and Permian age. A narrow belt of deposits in steeply dipping or overturned rocks extends for 7 miles along Coyote Creek south of Guadalupita. Earlier studies showed that the copper deposits contained uranium, but both the reserves and the uranium content of the copper-bearing shale are too low to permit the… more

Summary of the Mineralogy of the Colorado Plateau Uranium Ores

Description: Report summarizing information regarding the mineralogy of uranium ores of the Colorado Plateau. The report includes sections on classification, mineralogy of the primary unoxidized ores, oxidation sequence and mineralogy of vanadiferous uranium ores, mineralogy of oxidized nonvanadiferous uranium ores, relation of oxidation to water saturation of ore, relative stability and size of oxidized deposits, secondary enrichment, and time and depth of oxidation.

Reconnaissance of Geology and Uranium Occurrences of the Upper Alamosa Creek Valley : Catron County, New Mexico

Description: From abstract: "The Crevasse Canyon formation and Point Lookout(?) sandstone of Late Cretaceous age and the Baca and Datil formations of Tertiary age were mapped in an area of 168 square miles in the upper Alamosa Creek Valley along the northern edge of the Datil Mountains, Catron County, N.
