“…Most of the principal anomaly, outline Jtl (which encompasses outlines Jt2 and areas Jt3), is reasonably attributed to the Jurassic Conway Granite and Conway-type granite (henceforth called Conway Granite), which characteristically has high abundances of tin, uranium, thorium, and several other elements (Butler, 1975;Hoisington, 1977;Moench and others, 1984, and references therein). The geochemical data also reveal overlapping anomalies of beryllium, lead, molybdenum, niobium, uranium, and zinc that appear to be associated with the Conway Granite.…”

“…The potassic Conway Granite has long been recognized to be particularly rich in uranium and thorium (Butler, 1975;Hoisington, 1977) and has been considered as a geothermal energy resource (Osberg and others, 1978). Fehn and others (1978) showed that a 42 significant vein-type uranium deposit can result from this process.…”

“…One of the earliest reports containing uranium analyses on the uranium-bearing igneous rocks of the State was by Lyons (1964). Other uranium literature for New Hampshire which concentrates on the uranium content of the igneous rocks includes Butler (1975), Hoisington (1977). Lyons (1964) reported uranium concentrations of 2.6-5.0 ppm for the calc-alkaline Highlandcroft rocks, 0.6-15.9 ppm for the Oliverian Plutonic Series, and 1.5-39 ppm for the New Hampshire Plutonic Series.…”
