Title: Mineral resources of the Meadow Valley Range Wilderness Study Area, Lincoln and Clark counties, Nevada

Abstract

The authors report that no mines or active prospects are located within the study area. The only identified resource is perlite. The northern part of the study area has moderate resource potential for zeolites,marekanite (Apache tears), agate, and opaline rock associated with the perlite, and tin. The southern part of the study area has low resource potential for sediment-hosted gold, silver, zinc, copper, and lead. The study area has moderate potential for oil and gas resources. Identified resources of vanadium are present outside the study area and about 800,000 tons of subeconomic metalliferous resources are inferred in the outcrop area, however the potential for undiscovered vanadium resources within the immediately adjacent study area is unknown.
