Mineralization is primary and secondary uranium species with gangue species in an elliptical and saucer shaped orebody in Chapin Wash formation sandstones. Uranium is concentrated in lower parts of sandy/silty lenses in scours 250 feet long by 20 feet deep. 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.
