Geochemical Exploration Program for uranium in the northern Wadesboro and southern Sanford Triassic Basins of North Carolina
Description
Purpose of the grant was to locate favorable areas for follow-up uranium exploration in the two basins; this was accomplished by analyzing 235 stream sediment samples. Eighteen of the 235 samples contained at least 1 ppM uranium and were considered to be possibly anomalous. Six of the high-U samples had significant thorium values (100 ppM), and therefore their high U values are probably from thorium-rich minerals such as monazite. Follow-up work should be done on the 13 samples with low thorium values
