Wyomings Geology Potential for U.S. Utilities
competition success magazine Harris explained
that mineralization occurs in the Precambrian granite and enclosed
metasediments. The mineralization is said to be primarily low-temperature
pitchblende and coffinite. Harris compared the North Canning deposit to
nonconformity- related uranium deposits. He wrote, “It is likely that the
deposit formed by processes similar to those that operated in the Athabasca and
Northern Australian regions. competition success review ” We checked with David Miller of Strathmore
Minerals (TSX: STM; Other OTC: STHJF) about their Copper Mountain holdings. He
responded by email, “We own all the federal minerals in the area that covered
uranium mineralization: about 75 percent of the gross uranium resources. The
Canning Deposit is owned about 60 percent by us and 40 percent by Neutron. competition success Strathmore Minerals has around 100 mining
claims in the area.” The source of Wyomings roll-front uranium deposits are
open to debate and have yet to be clarified. In 1981, William Boberg wrote,
“The major deposits of Wyoming occur in the Lower Cretaceous Inyan Kara Group
of the Black Hills, in the Paleocene Fort Union Formation in the Powder River
Basin, in correlative Eocene sandstones in all of the major uranium districts.”
Warren Finch later described Wyomings roll-fronts, in his previously quoted
work, “The predominant type of uranium deposit is the roll-front sandstone
deposit in Tertiary continental fluvial basis developed between uplifts.csr magazine These ore deposits were formed by oxidizing uranium-bearing ground
waters that entered the host sandstone from the edges of the basins. Two
possible sources of the uranium were (1) uraniferous Precambrian granite that
provided sediment for the host sandstone and (2) overlying Oligocene volcanic
ash sediments.” Ray Harris appeared to lean more toward the former. William
Boberg has argued more toward the latter explanation for a uranium source csr subscription .
