The Honeycombs Wilderness Study Area in Washakie County, Wyo., has no identified mineral or energy resources. A moderate resource potential exists for oil and gas, for undiscovered subsurface coal in the northeastern and southeastern parts of the study area, and for industrial commodities, sand and gravel, mudstone, and sandstone along the western and northern edges of this study area. The Honeycombs Wilderness Study Area has a low resource potential for uranium and no resource potential for metals other than subsurface titanium or for geothermal resources. The potential for subsurface titanium in placer deposits is unknown in this study area.
