Uranium evaluation of the Seward--Selawik area, Alaska
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:6571184
The evaluation was based on a combination of geologic mapping, geochemical sampling, and aerial and ground radiometric surveying. In addition to specific occurrences of U minerals, large areas of coincident geochemical, geological, and radioactive indications of U and Th rich environments were found at other localities in the Hogatza plutonic trend and in less well identified parts of the Darby quartz monzonite pluton and the gneiss-schist complex of the Kigluaik and Bendeleben Mountains. The largest potentially U-bearing areas are those in the Central Bendeleben and Kigluaik Mountains. Several Tertiary sedimentary basins in the Seward--Selawik area locally contain rock types which have been considered as U sources, and contain also organic material and coal. (DLC)
