Mineralization is primary and secondary uranium species with gangue species in the Artillery formation. Ore occurs in lower parts of sandy/silty lenses in scours. Some pods are near fossil wood. The highest grade of ore occurs at the base of scours in carbonaceous material. Alterations include halos of jarosite, hydrous iron oxides, sericitized feldspar. Trace Mo increases near the ore.
