Notes

Abstract: The Lawrence Livermore Laboratory (LLL) is conducting a hydrogeochemical and stream-sediment survey in the seven western states as part of ERDA's National Uranium Resources Evaluation (NURE) Program. The objective of this survey is to develop a geochemical data base for use by the private sector to locate regions of anomalous uranium content. Prior to wide area coverage, several pilot studies are being undertaken to develop and evaluate sampling and analytical techniques. The second through fifth of these studies were conducted in four playa basins in Nevada, selected to represent different regional geology and uranium occurrence. This study in the Winnemucca Dry Lake Basin characterizes igneous surface geology with known uranium occurrences. Winnemucca Lake is surrounded by the igneous environment of the mountains of the Lake Range on the west and the Nightingale-Selenite Range on the east. Fifteen known uranium occurrences exist over a large area on the east side of the basin. They are commonly vein deposits of secondary uranium minerals in metamorphic rocks near or in granite, pegmatites, or in Tertiary volcanic rocks. The basin includes drainage from an area 356 square miles. Results of this study are particularly applicable to the western Basin and Range igneous metallogenic province, which includes southeastern Oregon, western Nevada, and southeastern California. This report contains only the analytical data and sample locations.
