The US Geological Survey and the US Bureau of Mines conducted a collaborative study to assess the potential for undiscovered resources and appraise the identified resources of the Red Mountain Wilderness Study Area, southwestern Utah. There are no mines, prospects, or mineralized areas; however, inferred subeconomic resources of building stone and silica sand are present at the surface. The resource potential for metallic minerals and for oil and gas is low. The energy resource potential for high-temperature geothermal sources in the eastern part of the study area is moderate, whereas the entire study area has high potential for low-temperature geothermal sources. There is no energy resource potential for coal.
