An evaluation of sand and gravel resources in and near the Prescott National Forest in the Verde Valley, Arizona, with a section on evaluation of sand and gravel resources using selected engineering variables An evaluation of sand and gravel resources in and near the Prescott National Forest in the Verde Valley, Arizona, with a section on evaluation of sand and gravel resources using selected engineering variables

This study was based on available published literature. Although no field investigation was conducted in the Prescott National Forest to the west of the Verde River, a field investigation was conducted in the summer of 1994 by this author on the Coconino National Forest, to the east of the Verde River, where units of surficial materials of the same age and similar character are found...

Examining risk in mineral exploration Examining risk in mineral exploration

Successful mineral exploration strategy requires identification of some of the risk sources and considering them in the decision-making process so that controllable risk can be reduced. Risk is defined as chance of failure or loss. Exploration is an economic activity involving risk and uncertainty, so risk also must be defined in an economic context. Risk reduction can be addressed in...
