| Deposit | From TEI-440, p. 175 (quoted in its entirety because this is a difficult to find source): Kermac No. 1 claim This claim is in SE1/4NE1/4NW1/4, sec. 3, T39N, R92W. The uranium mineral is pale yellowish green, highly fluorescent, and was identified by L.B. Riley as metaautunite. The sample contained 0.59% eU and 0.80% U. The mineral is in the lower 10 to 20 feet of a 50-foot exposure of the upper Eocene (?) Tepee Trail (?) formation which was deposited in a valley cut in brown pre-Cambrian granite. No extensive exploration had been done at the time of the examination. The metaautunite occurs abundantly in pale green bentonitic plastic claystone and green bentonitic coarse-grained arkosic sandstone. Maximum radioactivity noted on the surface was 3 mr/hr. |
