The occurrence of zeunerite at Brooks Mountain, Seward Peninsula, Alaska

Preliminary summary of reconnaissance for uranium and thorium in Alaska, 1952

“…The appraisal in 1950-51 of Alaskan uranium possibilities (Wedow and others, 1951) led to the reconnaissance, in 1951-52 of many deposits considered favorable for the occurrence of uranium because they contain mineral assemblages characteristic of uranium deposits elsewhere in the world. The results of the work done in 1951 have been reported by White and others, (1952); West and White, (1952); White and West, (1952) ;West, (1952);and Houston (1952). The major investigations conducted in 1952 were centered largely in the lower Yukon-Kuskokwim region and in northeastern, eastcentral, and southeastern Alaska (pi.…”

Beryllium deposits of the western Seward Peninsula, Alaska

“…Several northwest-striking veins cut the limestone on the ridge northwest of these prospects. The lodes near the south margin of the granite of Brooks Mountain have been described in some detail by West and White (1952). The similarity to the Tin Creek area is striking.…”

Radioactivity investigations at Ear Mountain, Seward Peninsula, Alaska, 1945

“…This bedrock deposit, and field evidence obtained in the same year by another Geo~ogiCal Survey party Indicating that an even more highly radiOactive mineral In stream concentrates In the southeastern part of the peninsula was derived from the debris of a syenite stock, suggested that bedrock deposits might occur In other stocks of the peninsula. Lode deposits were subsequently found In the Serpentlne-Kougarok area In 1946 (Moxham and West, 1953) and at Brooks Mountain Ill 1950 (West and White, 1952); others were Indicated In the eastern part of the peninsula (Gault, Killeen, West, and others, 1953;West 1953).…”
