Aerial radiometric and magnetic reconnaissance survey of the Eagle--Dillingham area, Alaska, Mt. Hayes Quadrangle

Technical Report · Thu Jun 01 00:00:00 EDT 1978

OSTI ID:6571136

The results of a high-sensitivity aerial gamma-ray spectrometer and magnetometer survey of the Mt. Hayes Quadrangle, Alaska, are presented. Instrumentation and methods are described in Volume 1 of this final report. Statistical and geological analysis of the radiometric data revealed two uranium anomalies worthy of field checking as possible prospects. One is located near Mesozoic granite, which is believed to have the best potential for future economic uranium deposits. Another uranium anomaly is associated with Paleozoic-Precambrian rocks and may be caused by augen gneiss or possibly granitic intrusives. Two weakly uraniferous provinces merit study: one in the northwest, which may be related to the Tertiary-Cretaceous coal-bearing unit, and a second in the northeast, which may be related to Mesozoic granites.
