Sunday group
A U-V occurrence/mine/located claim located in secs. 13 & 24, T44N, R18W, NMM, on Bureau of Land Management administered land and/or private land (private lease). Owned by Caryle and Legg, Colorado (1975); and by the Union Carbide Corp., Colorado (1980). The Sunday Mine, West Sunday, and St. Jude Mines are connected.
Mineralization is a U-V deposit hosted in a Late Jurassic conglomerate. Orebody No. 1 is sedimentary and irregular. Orebody No. 2 is tabular. Orebody No. 3 is lenticular. The primary mode of origin was residual concentration and the secondary mode was oxidation. The primary ore control was lithology and the secondary control was bedding. Wallrock alteration is moderate (bleaching). Local rocks include rocks of the Morrison Formation, Summerville Formation, Dakota Sandstone, Burro Canyon Formation, and the Entrada Sandstone.
Workings include unspecified surface openings.
