Questa baseline and pre-mining ground water investigation: 11. Geochemistry of composited material from alteration scars and mine-waste piles

Composited, surficial material was collected from alteration scars, a less intensely altered site, and mine-waste piles. All samples were analyzed for forty elements by inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectrometry, total sulfur and quantitative X-ray diffraction. This work was performed in cooperation with the New Mexico Environment Department.
