Airborne Radioactivity Surveys for Phosphate in Florida

Description: Introduction: Deposits of phosphate in Florida, located beyond the limits of known producing areas, have been reported by prospectors and mining companies. Much of the information has been based upon prospecting and exploration which was undertaken many years ago and as a result the published data relating to the occurrence of these deposits are fragmentary, and few details relating to specific locations and extent are available.

Airborne Radioactivity Surveys for Phosphate in Florida

Description: Report discussing airborne radioactivity surveys, aimed at finding uraniferous phosphate deposits, in ten areas of Florida. A subsequent ground investigation of two radioactivity anomalies out of eight was conducted. Information on radioactivity measurements for each area is given as well as conclusions.

Airborne Radioactivity Surveys in Geologic Exploration

Description: The following report describes the use of airborne radioactivity surveying and analytical techniques in geologic exploration by examples of the analysis or evaluation of airborne data related to specific geologic settings. The airborne radioactivity surveying program was begun in 1949 by the U.S. Geological Survey to assist in uranium exploration.

Comparison of Thickness, Grade, and Depth of Radioactive Layers as Determined by Gamma-Ray Logging and by Core Sampling

Description: Abstract: "Thickness, grade, and depth data were obtained by analyzing gamma-ray logs and core samples from 56 diamond drill holes penetrating uranium deposits in the Colorado Plateau. The data from the two methods were compared to determine variations found in gamma-ray log interpretation and chemical and radiometric analyses of the drill core. Correlations within each parameter varied among the drilling areas analyzed. Gamma-ray interpretations of grade compared to chemical analyses were with… more

Compilation of Data on the Uranium and Equivalent Uranium Content of Samples Analyzed by U.S. Geological Survey During a Program of Sampling Mine, Mill, and Smelter Products

Description: Report discussing the sources of about 1,400 samples of samples of mine, mill, and smelter products that were collected by the U.S. Geological Survey. In addition, the "kind of material sampled, i.e. ores, concentrates, middlings, tailings, flue dusts, and so forth, and the radioactivity of the samples are listed in the report."

Exploration for Uranium-Vanadium Deposits in the Beaver Mesa Area: Mesa County, Colorado, and Grand County, Utah

Description: Report discussing the U.S. Geological Survey's exploration aimed at locating uranium-vanadium deposits of the Beaver Mesa area. The report provides information regarding the geology of the area, uranium-vanadium deposits, the U.S. Geological Survey's exploration, reserves, and plans/recommendations.

Forty-Niner, King Solomon Ridge, and West End Claims Near Clancy, Jefferson County, Montana

Description: Abstract: Secondary minerals of the uranite group occur in dense quartz veins and in altered aplitic granite along and near the crest of the east-trending ridge about one mile west of Clancy, Montana. Brief examination suggests that the radioactive minerals are erratically distributed, but a more thorough study of the area will be made by the Geological Survey during the coming field season.

Geophysical Observations in Parts of the Grants District, Mckinley County, New Mexico

Description: Report discussing geophysical observations in parts of the Grants district of McKinley County, New Mexico. This study had the "dual objective of investigating the unusual occurrence of negative aeromagnetic anomalies in close association with airborne radioactivity anomalies, and of investigating other geophysical methods which might assist directly or indirectly in the search for uranium ores in the Grants district."
