Seventeen uranium anomalies meet the minimum statistical requirements as defined in Volume I. These anomalies are listed and are shown on the Uranium Anomaly Interpretation Map. Potassium (%K), equivalent Uranium (ppM eU), equivalent Thorium (ppM eT), eU/eT, eU/K, eT/K, and magnetic Pseudo Contour Maps are presented in Appendix E. Stacked Profiles showing geologic strip maps along each flight-line, together with sensor data, and ancillary data are presented in Appendix F. All maps and profiles were prepared on a scale of 1:250,000, but have been reduced to 1:500,000 for presentation in Volume II. Anomaly No. 1 is over Pliocene-Pleistocene basalt and andesite (Qtba). Anomaly No. 2 is over the contact zone between rhyolitic rocks of the John Day formation (Tmor) and Quaternary alluvium (Qal). Anomaly No. 3 is over the contact area between Tertiary silicic ash-flow tuff (Tat) and Quaternary alluvium (Qal). Anomalies No. 4, No. 5, No. 6 are over Recent pumice and ash-flow deposits (Qrp). Anomalies No. 7, No. 8, No. 9, and No. 10 are over Pliocene/Pleistocene basalt (Qtb). Anomaly No. 11 is over the contact area between Pliocene basalt (Tpb), and Pliocene/Pleistocene basalt (Qtb). Anomaly No. 12 is over Quaternary terrace deposits (Qpn). Anomalies No. 13, and No. 14 are over Pleistocene basalt (Tpb). Anomaly No. 15 is over tuffaceous sedimentary rocks (Ts). Anomaly No. 16, the largest in the quadrangle, is over tuffaceous sedimentary rocks (Ts), dune sands (Qd), silicic vent rocks (Tvs), and Quaternary lacustrine rocks (Q1). Anomaly No. 17 is over silicic vent rocks and Quaternary lacustrine sediments (Q1).
