Yazzie #102

An U occurrence/mine located in the E-central edge sec. 19, T28N, R10E, G&SRM, SSE of Cameron. This locality is not listed in the USGS MRDS database. The geographic coordinates presented for this locality are approximate to the center of the eastern edge of sec. 19.

Mineralization is an U deposit with uraninite associated with carbonaceous logs at an average depth of 42 feet, and with an average thickness of 2 feet. Coffinite, metazippeite (zippeite), boltwoodite and marcasite have been identified.

Workings include surface openings comprised of a 190 X 70 X 50 foot deep open pit.

Production was 1,610 tons of ore @ 0.30% U3O8; 0.08% V2O5 (1956-1957, 1960-1961).
