This paper reports on the Mohave Wash Wilderness Study Area which is underlain by Proterozoic granitoids and gneiss that are partly covered by volcanic, volcaniclastic, and sedimentary rocks of Miocene and Pliocene( ) age and by Quatemary sand and gravel. The study area contains 1,500 st of inferred subeconomic gold resources and inferred resources of sand and gravel suitable for road gravel. One large area has moderate potential for gold and silver, five small areas have low potential for gold, and one small area has low potential for silver. The study area has low potential for oil and gas and no potential for geothermal resources.
