Reconnaissance geochemical and mineralogical sampling was done in the Sierra Ancha Wilderness and Salome Study Area during April and May 1978. This map shows the distribution of chalcopyrite, florite, galena, scheelite, and lead-rich iron oxides in the nonmagnetic fraction of the heavy-mineral concentrate of stream sediment samples collected during the reconnaissance study.
Semiquantitative spectrographic and other analyses on 104 stream sediment and 100 rock and mineral samples are reported here in detail. Location for all samples are in universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) coordinates. Brief descriptions of rock and mineral samples are included. Rocks analyzed include sandstone and shale; two samples of pyrite from sandstone are included. No obviously anomalous values related to mineralized rock are present in the data.
