;
Results of mineral surveys conducted during 1980-1981 indicate that the Chama River Canyon Wilderness and contiguous roadless area have a probable mineral-resource potential for copper with associated uranium and silver Gypsum occurs throughout the area, exposed in the canyon walls. The possibility for the occurrence of oil and gas and uranium in limestone needs to be further tested.
