An U-Mo-Cu occurrence/group of claims/prospects located in the SE¼ sec. 28, T39N, R6E, G&SRM, 12.4 km (7.7 miles) SW of Marble Canyon and 0.5 mile NE of Cliff Dwellers Lodge, on Bureau of Land Management administered land. Owned by the Lasalle Mining Company (1955).
Mineralization is an U-Mo-Cu deposit hosted in the Late Triassic Shinarump Conglomerate Member of the Chinle Formation, and includes torbernite at or near the contact of Shinarump Member and underlying Moenkopi Formation. The ore body is 6.1 meters thick, 15.24 meters wide and 91.44 meters long. Low-grade mineralization. Radiation levels are 3.00 mr/hour; background level = 0.017/hour. Yellow uranium mineralization occurs with considerable azurite and malachite and soft black carbonaceous matter in a Shinarump Member channel deposit. Local rocks include rocks of the Moenkopi Formation.
Workings include surface openings comprised of blasting blocks from the cliff face.
Analysis test results: 0.1405% U3O8 and 0.1583%---- [?]
