Environments favorable for the occurrence of uranium within the Mount Belknap caldera, Beaver Valley and Sevier River Valley, west-central, Utah
Technical Report

OSTI ID:6129113
In studying the economic mineral potential of the Tushar Mountains and adjacent areas in west-central Utah, members of the US Geological Survey have delineated several geologic environments that seem favorable for the occurrence of uranium deposits. This report is concerned primarily with three areas: (1) the ring fracture zone of the Mount Belknap caldera, (2) the Beaver Valley, and (3) the Sevier River Valley near Marysvale. The data and interpretations presented are tentative and will be revised as work in the area continues. Other environments containing uranium exist, but are not discussed here. This report presents preliminary geologic data and interpretations to assist in uranium resource evaluation by the US Department of Energy, and to aid in exploration programs by private industry.
