This paper reports on the Deep Creek Mountains Wilderness Study Area (UT-010-060/UT-050-020) which includes most of the Deep Creek Range in Utah and Tooele counties, Utah. Four areas near the study area contain identified resources: gold resources in the Goshute Canyon and Gold Bond areas, both immediately east of the study area: a gold resource at the Queen of Sheba Mine just west of the boundary; and a silver-lead-zinc-copper resource at the Willow Springs area in an area that was not included in the northeast part of the study area. Much of the study area is underlain by late Proterozoic to Lower Cambrian quartzite and Middle Cambrian to Pennsylvanian carbonate rock and contains subeconomic resources of limestone, dolomite, and quartzite. Most of the study area has moderate to high resource potential for tungsten, mercury, gold, silver, lead, zinc, copper, molybdenum, tin, and (or) beryllium. The entire study area has low resource potential for uranium, thorium, oil, gas, coal, and geothermal energy.
