THE GRANITE IS LIGHT GRAY BIOTITE-HORNBLENDE-TOURMALINE MONZOGRANITE TO SYENOGRANITE (WILTSE AND OTHERS, 1995). URANIUM- AND/OR THORIUM-BEARING ALLANITE, SPHENE AND ZIRCON, AND SCHEELITE WERE FOUND IN PLACER CONCENTRATE SAMPLES (COBB, 1976, [OFR 76-633]). HOUSTON INTERNATIONAL REPORTEDLY TESTED SEDIMENTARY URANIUM IN TERTIARY SEDIMENTS NEAR CIRCLE HOT SPRINGS IN 1980. THIS SITE IS A U/TH-W-REE GEOCHEMICAL ANOMALY. |
