Engineering Report on the Brushy Basin Drilling Project, Cedar Mountain, Emery County, Utah

摘要

The Brushy Basin drilling project was conducted by Bendix Field Engineering Corporation (BFEC) in support of the United States Department of Energy (DOE) National Uranium Resource Evaluation (NURE) program. This project consisted of 12 drill holes (table 1), ranging in depth from 101 feet (30.78 m) to 920 feet (280.39 m). A total of 6,867.5 feet (2,093.17 m) was drilled by rotary methods. Purpose was to obtain subsurface data for estimating the intermediate-grade (0.01 percent to 0.05 percent U sub 3 O sub 8 ) uranium resources of the Brushy Basin Member of the Morrison Formation (Jurassic) in the Cedar Mountain area of the San Rafael swell, Emery County, Utah. Drilling began on June 16, 1979, and was completed on July 29, 1979, with final site restoration. (ERA citation 05:018417)
