Other/historical names associated with this locality:
Chevron Oil Prospect
Structure: Mcdermitt Caldera, A Miocene Volcanic Collapse Feature About 40km Across This Occurrence Is Near The Edge Of The Intracaldera Moat Where They Lap Up Against The W. Wall Of The Caldera
Alteration: Argillized, Limonite-Stained; Silicification
Tectonics: Mobile Belt
Deposit: The highest radioactivity is associated with reddish-brown clay, possibly fault gouge. This occurrence is at the edge of the sedimentary basin and in the area of the caldera ring fracture. At the edge of the sediments, a systematic increase in permeability can be predicted, which would facilitate the migration of solutions into the sediment hosts.
Deposit type: Volcanogenic U
Ore(s): Fault Gouge Zone?
