AbstractAbstract
[en] The results of a high-sensitivity, aerial, gamma-ray spectrometer and magnetometer survey of the Clifton Quadrangle, Arizona and New Mexico, are presented. Statistical and geological analysis of the radiometric data revealed 146 uranium anomalies worthy of field checking as possible prospects. Seventy-four anomalies suggest the presence of vein-type uranium in acid igneous rocks of Quaternary to Cretaceous age. Four anomalies may indicate mineralization in the potentially favorable Supai Formation, and two are located in Cretaceous sedimentary rocks. The presence of possible stratiform uranium deposits in basins is indicated by 61 anomalies in Quaternary and/or Tertiary sedimentary rocks. The regions appearing most favorable for uranium mineralization include the Odart Mountain-Baldy Peak Area, North Fork White River Area, the flanks of the Gila Mountains, the San Francisco Mountains, the northern part of the Tularosa Mountains, the Mogollon Mountains, the Baldy Mountain-Maverick Hill Area, northeast of Baldy Mountain, and northwest of Black Mountain
