Data release for parts of the eastern Adel quadrangle, Oregon

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:7126231

This report presents data collected in the eastern Adel Quadrangle as part of the National Uranium Resource Evaluation (NURE) program conducted by Bendix Field Engineering Corporation (BFEC) for the US Department of Energy (DOE). The purpose of the investigation was to identify geologic environments favorable for uranium deposits which, under NURE guidelines, are those that could contain 100 tons or more of U/sub 3/O/sub 8/ at an average grade of at least 100 ppM. The principal focus of work in the Adel quadrangle was on the McDermitt caldera complex, most of which lies in the adjacent Vya, McDermitt, and Jordan Valley Quadrangles; however, reconnaissance investigations also were made of the Steens Mountains and Whitehorse caldera areas.
