Geochemical data for Cohutta Wilderness, Georgia-Tennessee

Trace-element data obtained from stream-sediment, soil, and rock-chip samples by semiquantitative spectrographic and atomic absorption analyses. Geochemical data are grouped alphabetically by letter prefix and arranged in numerical order within the lettered groups. The listed data were obtained from samples collected in 1977 and 1978 by Jacob E. Gair and John F. Slack, assisted by Andrew Grosz, Richard Ketelle, Donald Henry, Thomas Hanley, Ann Stevens, and Gregory R. Morley. The spectrographic and atomic absorption analyses were done in laboratories of the Branch of Exploration Research, U.S. Geological Survey, Denver. The spectrographic analyses were done by David F. Siems and Elwin L. Mosier; the atomic absorption analyses, by Allen L. Meier. Data retrieval from the computerized storage file of the U.S. Geological Survey was made by Nancy A. Wright.

Map showing anomalous silver distribution in stream sediment concentrates, Hillsboro and San Lorenzo quadrangles, exclusive of the Black Range Primitive Area, Sierra and Grant Counties, New Mexico

This map shows the distribution of anomalous silver in the nonmagnetic (NM-1) sample fraction plotted on a base which includes sample localities, topography, and generalized geology from Hedlund (1975a, b). It is part of a series of maps for several metals that accompany this folio. Distributions of silver values are shown on the accompanying histograms.

Map showing anomalous copper distribution in stream sediment concentrates, Hillsboro and San Lorenzo quadrangles, exclusive of the Black Primitive Area, Sierra and Grant Counties, New Mexico

This map shows the distribution of anomalous copper in the two sample fractions, magnetic (M-1) and nonmagnetic (NM-1), plotted on a base which includes sample localities, topography, and generalized geology from Hedlund (1975a, b). It is part of a series of maps for several metals that accompany this folio. Distributions of copper values in each fraction are shown on the accompanying histograms.

Mineral resources of the Charles Sheldon wilderness study area, Humboldt and Washoe Counties, Nevada, and Lake and Harney Counties, Oregon

A mineral survey of the Charles Sheldon wilderness study area, located in Humboldt and Washoe Counties, Nevada, and Lake and Harney Counties, Oregon was conducted in 1974 and 1975 (fig. 1A, 1B, 1C). The mineral resource potential was evaluated by geological, geochemical, and geophysical studies by the U.S. Geological Survey, and by the examination of mines, prospects, and other mineralized localities by the U.S. Bureau of Mines. The investigation identified several areas of significant mineral potential within the study area which includes the Charles Sheldon Antelope Range and the Sheldon National Antelope Refuge (fig. 1B). The Virgin Valley area contains reserves of precious opal, small quantities of decorative building stone, and low-grade uranium resources. The investigation indicates that there are several areas of potential for the discovery at depth of mercury and for base and complex precious metal sulfide deposits within the study area. Reservoir temperatures, estimated from the analysis of thermal springs, suggest that the area has low-to-moderate potential for geothermal resources. The potential for oil, gas, or coal is very low.

Spectrographic and chemical analyses of whole-rock and insoluble-residue samples, Rolla 1° x 2° quadrangle, Missouri: Drill hole No. 6

Geochemical studies of the Rolla, Mo., 1° x 2° quadrangle were begun in 1977 as part of a joint multidisciplinary study of the quadrangle by the U.S. Geological Survey and the Division of Geology and Land Survey, Missouri Department of Natural Resources. The study is to access the mineral resource potential of the area by integrated geologic, geochemical, and geophysical studies.
