Structure description Echo Park Graben, Paleovalleys

Ore body information

  • General form TABULAR, PODS

Controls for ore emplacement

  • Deposition Controlled By Ground Water Flow Conditions And Carbonaceous Material With Associated Pyrite. Flow Was Impeded By The Fault On The Southern End Of The Echo Park Graben.

Comments on the geologic information

  • DEPOSITS LOCALIZED AND PRESERVED BY SLUGGISH GROUNDWATER MOVEMENT IN AREA. THOSE CONDITIONS STILL PRESENT AS EVIDENCED BY ARTESIAN PRESSURE IN WELLS AND SPRINGS ISSUING FROM ECHO PARK FORMATION AND BY A PRESENT URANIUM CONTENT OF GROUND-WATER IN AREA AS HIGH AS 900 PPB. ONE OF THE SPRINGS AT THIS LOCATION IS STILL ACTIVE, WITH GAS CONTINUALLY BUBBLING.
