A former U-Mo occurrence/mine located in the S½ sec. 11, T29N, R9E, G&SRM, 3.3 km (2.1 miles) NNE of Cameron, 1.5 miles NW of Cameron Airport, 300 feet E of the new U.S. highway 89. The USGS MRDS database stated accuracy for this locality is 100 meters.
Mineralization is primary and secondary uranium minerals with gangue species in lenses and pods in mudstone. Ore fills intraformational channels and scours with the upper 30 feet of the Shinarump and lower 60 feet of the Petrified Forest members of the Triassic Chinle formation. The ore body is 3.05 meters thick, 68.58 meters wide and 152.4 meters long. Ore tends to occur in depressions. Carbonized fossil logs containing uraninite are common but most mineralization consists of disseminated uraninite in sandstone. The ore body is surrounded by light brown to yellowish-brown alteration halos which cut across the normal purple and grey beds of the host rock types. Associated rocks include Late Triassic volcanic ash and basalt. Local rocks include rocks of the Shinarump Conglomerate Member of the Chinle Formation. Mostly uraninite ore disseminated in a sandstone and siltstone channel near the base of Petrified Forest Member of the Chinle Formation. Schroeckingerite coats fractures in sandstone, undergoing oxidation. Boltwoodite has been identified.
Workings include surface openings comprised of an open pit. The largest open pit operation in the area.
Production was a total of 39,808 tons of ore @ 0.22% U3O8; <0.05% V2O5. Jack Daniels #1-4 claims produced 39,440 tons in 1956-1960 from the main pit. Jack Daniels extension (claim #5, under old highway 89), produced 322 tons @0.27% U3O8 (1963). There was no production from Jack Daniels No.3. Jack Daniels No.4 produced 34 tons @0.14% U3O8 and 0.07% V2O5 from small bulldozer cuts and shallow scrapings located about 250 feet south of
Jack Daniels No. 1 pit.
