General comments

Subject category Comment text
Deposit 6 RADIOACTIVE LOCALITIES FALL ALONG A LINE, WITH SEVERAL RELATED TO N-TRENDING FAULTS. ANOMALOUS RADIOACTIVITY PERSISTS TO 100-FT DEPTH, BUT LARGER ANOMALIES WERE WITHIN 40 FT OF THE SURFACE. URANIUM MINERALIZATION MAY BE LOCALIZED BY CERTAIN BEDS OR MAY OCCUR IN SEVERAL DIFFERENT BEDS ALONG MINOR N-NE-TRENDING IRON-STAINED FRACTURES. URANIFEROUS COLLOPHANE AND OPAL ARE DISSEMINATED IN STRATIFIED TUFF AND DIATOMACEOUS EARTH AND IN OPAL LENSES
