Mineral resource potential map of the Savannah Roadless Area, Liberty County, Florida 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...
Mineral resource potential map of the Shining Rock Wilderness, Haywood County, North Carolina Mineral resource potential map of the Shining Rock Wilderness, Haywood County, North Carolina
The Shining Rock Wilderness is in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Haywood County, N. C., and is underlain by complexly folded, high-grade metamorphic rocks. These rocks contain a few small, subeconomic deposits of sheet muscovite mica that have a small potential for scrap mica. Quartz as a source of silica (SiO2) and gneiss and schist suitable for common building stone and crushed rock are...
Mineral resource potential map of the Troublesome Roadless Area, McCreary County, Kentucky 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...
Mineral resource potential map of the Vermilion Cliffs-Paria Canyon instant study area, Coconino County, Arizona, and Kane County, Utah 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...
