Abstract

Five areas are believed to be favorable for the occurrence of uranium deposits in the Flagstaff 1/sup 0/x2/sup 0/ quadrangle. Areas favorable for uranium deposits in collapse breccia pipes are within the Coconino and Marble Plateaus and the Little River Valley. Three areas of Mesozoic sediments are deemed favorable for the occurrence of sandstone-type deposits. Uranium mineralization is present in lake-bed bearing diatremes of the Hopi Buttes. Information used to establish the favorable areas was obtained from the literature, radiometric surveys, geochemical surveys, field studies, a drilling survey in the Hopi Buttes, and air-photo interpretation.
