Mineral resource potential map of the Muddy Mountains Wilderness Study Area, Clark County, Nevada
The Muddy Mountains Wilderness Study Area (WSA 050-0229), Clark County, Nevada, has a high potential for mineral deposits of calcium borates and lithium. The known and potential mineral deposits are concentrated in the east-central and south-central parts of the study area (see map). Zeolites (in particular clinoptilolite) are present in some tuff beds throughout much of the study area, and this r
Mineral resource potential map of the Rock Pile Mountain Wilderness Study area, Madison County, Missouri
Although the Rock Pile Mountain Wilderness Study Area is within the general boundary of the Southeast Missouri mining district, it has no record of mineral production and there is no mining or prospecting activity at present. Exploratory drill holes on private land along the west side of the area encountered no economic mineralization.
Neither the Precambrlan volcanic rocks nor the Cambrlan sedime
Mineral resource potential map of the Savannah Roadless Area, Liberty County, Florida
The Savannah Roadless Area is underlain by sedimentary rocks having low potential for oil and gas and minerals. The low potential for oil or gas notwithstanding, the possibilities for discovery cannot be ruled out because the area and nearby lands have not been thoroughly explored. No minerals have been mined within the Savannah Roadless Area, and the only production nearby has been the digging of
Mineral resource potential map of the Troublesome Roadless Area, McCreary County, Kentucky
A geologic and geochemical investigation and a survey of existing mines and prospects have been conducted to determine the mineral resource potential of the Troublesome Roadless Area, McCreary County, Ky. The study area comprises six tracts totaling about 2,943 acres in the Daniel Boone National Forest. It is in the Cumberland Plateau section of the Appalachian Plateaus Province. All surface and m
Mineral resource potential map of the Vermilion Cliffs-Paria Canyon instant study area, Coconino County, Arizona, and Kane County, Utah
In general, the mineral potential of the study area is low; in the past the area has yielded only several hundred tons of uranium ore, and there have been a number of unsuccessful efforts to produce gold.
The generally small uraniferous deposits are in the Chinle Formation, mostly in the basal Shinarump Member, and mostly on the east side of the Paria Plateau. To the south and west, around the pla
