Preliminary Study of the Uranium Potential of Tertiary Rock in the Central San Juan Basin, New Mexico

Description: Three formations in the Tertiary of the San Juan Basin were investigated for their uranium favorability. They are the Ojo Alamo Sandstone, the Nacimiento Formation, and the San Jose Formation. The study comprised a literature survey and a basin analysis, which consisted of subsurface lithofacies, stratigraphic, and radiometric mapping. Field work in preparation for the subsurface analysis consisted of examination of outcrop and measured sections, surface radiometric traverses, and checking of r… more

Electron microprobe analyses of minerals in Precambrian rocks at the Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory Geothermal Test Site, Jemez Mountains, New Mexico

Description: Electron microprobe analyses are presented for plagioclase, biotite, hornblende, magnetite, microcline, and chlorite in core samples from Granite Test Hole One at the Los Alamos Geothermal Test Site. The analyses and accompanying petrographic descriptions characterize material that is being exposed to artificial hydrothermal systems in laboratory experiments. Plagioclase in granitoid rocks exhibits significant compositional variation (albite rims on calcic oligoclase) and alteration to sericite… more

Preliminary Study of Favorability for Uranium of the Sangre de Cristo Formation in the Las Vegas Basin, Northeastern New Mexico

Description: This report presents the results of a preliminary study of the uranium favorability of the Sangre de Cristo Formation (Pennsylvanian-Permian) in the Las Vegas basin, northeastern New Mexico. Because known uranium deposits are confined mainly to the Sangre de Cristo, the following discussions are limited to this formation. The study focuses on sedimentologic and stratigraphic characteristics relevant to uranium deposition. The investigation was conducted by Bendix Field Engineering Corporation (… more
