Hydrogeochemical and stream sediment detailed geochemical survey for Thomas Range-Wasatch, Utah

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:7047871

Results of the Thomas Range-Sheeprock Mountain project area of the Thomas Range-Wasatch detailed geochemical survey are reported. Field and laboratory data are presented for 564 stream sediment samples and 128 radiometric readings. Statistical and areal distributions of uranium and possible uranium-related variables are given. A generalized geologic map of the project area is provided, and pertinent geologic factors which may be of significance in evaluating the potential for uranium mineralization are briefly discussed. Soluble uranium concentrations (U-FL) in stream sediments range from 1.36 to 44.85 ppM. Total uranium concentrations (U-NT) range from 2.10 to 49.00 ppM. Thorium concentrations range from <2 to 148 ppM. Uranium and thorium are concentrated in two areas: (1) the Thomas Range-Spor Mountain area (including Topaz Mountain), and (2) the Sheeprock Mountain area. Associated variables in the Thomas Range-Spor Mountain area are beryllium, lithium, potassium, sodium, niobium, and yttrium. Associated variables in the Sheeprock Mountain area are beryllium, niobium, selenium, yttrium, and zinc.
