The Deep Creek Valley Occurrences is a uranium and thorium mine located in Juab county, Utah at an elevation of 6,401 feet.
About the MRDS Data:
All mine locations were obtained from the USGS Mineral Resources Data System. The locations and other information in this database have not been verified for accuracy. It should be assumed that all mines are on private property.

Satelite View
MRDS mine locations are often very general, and in some cases are incorrect. Some mine remains have been covered or removed by modern industrial activity or by development of things like housing. The satellite view offers a quick glimpse as to whether the MRDS location corresponds to visible mine remains.

Analytical Data
Analytical Data: RADIOACTIVE BLACK SAND FRACTIONS: 170 PPM U, 260 PPM TH. NONMAGNETIC CONCENTRATE CONTAINED 1250 PPM U, 2300 PPM TH. 18 ROCK SAMPLES FROM WESTERN EDGE OF IBAPAH STOCK CONTAIN AN AVERAGE OF 13.9 PPM U (NORMAL GRANITIC ROCK CONTAINS 4-5 PPM). OF 110 SOIL SAMPLES FROM A RIDGE JUST NORTH OF THE QUEEN OF SHEBA MINE, ONLY 2 WERE CONSIDERED ANOMALOUS, WITH 66.6 AND 13.1 PPM U.
Materials
Ore: Monazite
Comments
Comment (Geology): URANIUM CONTENT IN STREAM SEDIMENTS AND IN SURFACE AND GROUND WATER SHOWS A DEFINITE WESTWARD URANIUM MIGRATION FROM THE IBAPAH STOCK. U-BEARING SEDIMENTS ARE CONCENTRATED IN STREAM SEDIMENTS OVER A LARGE AREA, AND ARE CONCENTRATED AS WELL IN A SMALL RADIOACTIVE BLACK SAND PLACER.
Comment (Location): URANIUM ANOMALIES FOUND IN DEEP CREEK VALLEY ARE ON IBAPAH, GOSHUTE, AND IBAPAH PEAK 7.5 MINUTE QUADS.
Comment (Development): TEXAS INSTRUMENTS, 1978, AERIAL RECONNAISSANCE SHOWS 9 FIRST PRIORITY ANOMALIES ON THE GOSHUTE INDIAN RESERVATION. ON BASIS OF ANOMALIES IN GROUND WATER IN WELLS, ROCK SAMPLES, AND A BLACK SAND PLACER, SATKOSKI AND SOKASKI RECOMMEND DRILLING 3-5 ROTARY DRILL HOLES TO EXPLORE THE SUBSURFACE.
Comment (Deposit): TEXAS INSTRUMENTS, INC. (1978) COMPLETED AN AERIAL RADIOMETRIC AND MAGNETIC RECONNAISSANCE OF THE DELTA QUADRANGLE. NINE FIRST PRIORITY URANIFEROUS METALLOGENIC ANOMALIES, UNINVESTIGATED BY FIELD WORK, ARE ON THE GOSHUTE RESERVATION, OTHERS ARE IN THE DEEP CREEK RANGE. ; INFO.SRC : 1 PUB LIT
