AIRBORNE RADIOMETRIC RECONNAISSANCE IN THE WIND RIVER BASIN, WYOMING, 1954
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:4276271
A program of airborne radiometric reconnaissance for uranium was conducted in eastern Fremont and western Natrona Counties, in central Wyoming. Rocks ranging in age from Precambrian to Quaternary were surveyed for radioactivity. The upper part of the Wind River formation of Eocene age was found to be the most favorable for uranium deposits. Uranium minerals found at the anom alies included metaautunite, autanite, phosphuranylite uraniferous opal, torbernite, uraniferous carbonatefluorapatite, uraniferous asphaltite, uranophane, dewindtite, and renardite. Over 350 flying hours were logged. A total of 204 anomalies was reported by the aircrew. Drilling on two of these anomalies discovered ore which is being mined. Surface features which may indicaie other ore bodies warrant further investigations. (auth)
