The uranium resources of the Enid Quadrangle, Oklahoma and Kansas, were evaluated to a depth of 1500 m using the available surface and subsurface geologic information, supplemented with an intensive geologic and geochemical reconnaissance of the quadrangle. Uranium occurrences reported in the literature were located, sampled, and described in detail. Areas of anomalous radioactivity and areas of known copper mineralization were also investigated for uranium potential. One previously known occurrence and one new occurrence were investigated in detail. All mineralized areas occur in Upper Pennsylvanian and Lower Permian strata and are uneconomic. All surface and subsurface rocks in the quadrangle are considered to possess characteristics unfavorable for uranium potenial. The upper Arbuckle Group (Upper Cambrian-Lower Ordovician) was designated as an unevaluated environment. The Arbuckle has some favorable characteristics, but sufficient information is not available to consider it an environment favorable for uranium deposits.
