The authors present an appraisal of the mineral resources and mineral resource potential of this area in south-central Utah near the Arizona border. No economic or marginally economic reserves or inferred resources are identified in the study area. There are, however,inferred subeconomic resources of sand, gravel, and sandstone. The mineral resource potential for coal and titanium is high except in the southwestern most part of the study area, which has no potential for either commodity. The mineral resource potential for uranium is high in the north-central part and southeaster tip of the study area and moderate elsewhere. The potential for undiscovered geothermal, oil, gas, and carbon dioxide resources is moderate. The potential for undiscovered metals, excluding uranium and titanium, is low.
