A Study of Uranium Deposits in the Copper Mountain Area: Fremont and Hot Springs Counties, Wyoming

Description: Report documenting a study of the Copper Mountain area to "evaluate the potential uranium production to determine, if possible, the origin and conditions of deposition of the uranium; and suggest possible guides to prospecting in this and geologically similar areas. All known radioactive deposits were examined and samples were collected for special studies and for assay of uranium content" (p. 5).

Location of uranium occurrences in southcentral Wyoming and northwestern Colorado

Description: "The principal uranium deposits in southcentral Wyoming and north-western Colorado are located in or at the margins of broad Tertiary basins. Interesting and possibly commercially significant occurrences are found in other Tertiary and older rocks at widely separated locations within this region. The six maps accompanying this report give the location, name, and ownership of the mines and occurrences from which samples assaying greater than 0.10% U3O8 have been collected. Claim names, location,… more

Geology and Uranium Occurrences in the Miller Hill Area, Carbon County, Wyoming

Description: Abstract: Uranium occurs in the North Park(?) formation of Pliocene(?) age in the Miller Hill area, about 25 miles south of Rawlins, Carbon County, Wyo. As much as 0. 5 percent uranium is contained in grab samples, but only about 1000 tons of rock are known to contain as much as 0. 03 percent uranium. Beds of brecciated, silicified limestone 3 to 10 feet thick contain the principal concentrations of uranium. Lesser concentrations are found in calcareous sandstone and quartzite.
