Deposit: Rhyolitic air-fall tuff & bentonite layer with up to u.25% & u308 at contact zone, in form of autunite developement As of 1973 consisted of two bulldozer cuts and a 30 degree inclined shaft filled with water to within 25 feet of the surface background radioactivity=.03 mr/hr; high=1.5 mr/hr. Trenches along both sides of road n. Of quartzite hill. ; info.src : 1 pub lit
Deposit type: Volcanogenic U
Geology: Radioactivity is present along 400 feet of a exposed contact between cretaceous quartz monzonite and the basal zone of a rhyolitic air-fall tuff below a black, vitrophyric, andesitic welded tuff called the pyroxene andesite of russell gulch. Autonite is concentrated in a 2-3 inch thick bentonitic zone just above a thin charcoal layer. Uranium mineralization, (weaker), continues for a foot above and belo W the bentonitic layer.
