Deposit POTASH IN A 300 SQ MI AREA AT DEPTHS OF 700 TO 2000 FT WITHIN THE UPPER 150 FT OF EVAPORITE. THE TOP OF THE EVAPORITE IS MARKED BY AN ANHYDRITE-GYPSUM ZONE AT A DEPTH OF 600 TO 2500 FT. THE PRINCIPAL HALITE SEQUENCE (400-1300 FT THICK) LIES BETWEEN THE FORT APACHE LIMESTONE MEMBER OF THE SUPAI FORMATION AND THE OVERLYING COCONINO SANDSTONE. THE MAIN HALITE UNIT OF INTEREST IS 400 FT THICK. THE HALITE OCCURS IN THE SUBSURFACE OF AN AREA OF 2300 SQ MILES.
Deposit STONE ASSUMED THE DEPOSIT POSSIBLY COVERED SEVERAL SQUARE MILES. THICK OVERBURDEN.
