The Fry Canyon district is in remote southwestern San Juan County. Fry Canyon is in the south-central part of the White Canyon U mining area, 45 mi southwest of Monticello. The area is part of the deeply incised Red Rock Plateau/White Canyon Slope, sandwiched between the Colorado River on the west and the Monument Uplift on the east. The White Canyon mining area as a whole is credited as Utah’s second largest uranium producer (Chenoweth, 1993). Total district metal production at modern metal prices is estimated at $5.3 million. The largest producers in the Fry Canyon district are the Gizmo and Fry underground mines.
Fry Canyon is geologically situated in the Paradox Basin on the Colorado Plateau. The uranium ores of the Fry Canyon district are hosted in the basal Shinarump Conglomerate Member of the Triassic Chinle Formation (USGS Model 30c). Mineralization is associated with channel scours and sandstone pinch-outs against mudstone, and the grade is directly proportional to the amount of carbonaceous material available (Doelling, 1969). The generally unoxidized orebodies average 3.5 ft thick and range from 10 to 500 ft wide and 50 to 1000 ft long (Doelling, 1969). Ore grades average about 0.2% U3O8 (Chenoweth, 1993). The low-lime ore is primarily uraninite with low vanadium, but commonly over 1% Cu values, as chalcopyrite, and Co and Mo are locally associated with the ore.
