This map shows the distribution of anomalous silver in the nonmagnetic (NM-1) sample fraction plotted on a base which includes sample localities, topography, and generalized geology from Hedlund (1975a, b). It is part of a series of maps for several metals that accompany this folio. Distributions of silver values are shown on the accompanying histograms.
This map shows the distribution of anomalous copper in the two sample fractions, magnetic (M-1) and nonmagnetic (NM-1), plotted on a base which includes sample localities, topography, and generalized geology from Hedlund (1975a, b). It is part of a series of maps for several metals that accompany this folio. Distributions of copper values in each fraction are shown on the accompanying histograms.

A mineral survey of the Charles Sheldon wilderness study area, located in Humboldt and Washoe Counties, Nevada, and Lake and Harney Counties, Oregon was conducted in 1974 and 1975 (fig. 1A, 1B, 1C). The mineral resource potential was evaluated by geological, geochemical, and geophysical studies by the U.S. Geological Survey, and by the examination of mines, prospects, and other mineralized localities by the U.S. Bureau of Mines. The investigation identified several areas of significant mineral potential within the study area which includes the Charles Sheldon Antelope Range and the Sheldon National Antelope Refuge (fig. 1B). The Virgin Valley area contains reserves of precious opal, small quantities of decorative building stone, and low-grade uranium resources. The investigation indicates that there are several areas of potential for the discovery at depth of mercury and for base and complex precious metal sulfide deposits within the study area. Reservoir temperatures, estimated from the analysis of thermal springs, suggest that the area has low-to-moderate potential for geothermal resources. The potential for oil, gas, or coal is very low.
Geochemical studies of the Rolla, Mo., 1° x 2° quadrangle were begun in 1977 as part of a joint multidisciplinary study of the quadrangle by the U.S. Geological Survey and the Division of Geology and Land Survey, Missouri Department of Natural Resources. The study is to access the mineral resource potential of the area by integrated geologic, geochemical, and geophysical studies.

The study is to access the mineral resource potential of the area by integrated geologic, geochemical, and geophysical studies. The geochemical work to date has been directed at the characterization of the sedimentary and igneous rocks in the quadrangle through spectrographic and chemical analyses of whole-rock samples and dilute-hydrochloric-acid insoluble-residue samples of whole rock from widely spaced drill holes. Sixty-two drill holes have been selected for study from the sample library of the Missouri Division of Geology and Land Survey. None of the holes are company-confidential, none intersect economically significant mineralized ground, and only a few are located in known ore-bearing trends. The analytical results for drill hole No. 5, Missouri log number 21245, are given in this report. The drill hole is located in sec. 4, T. 30 N., R. 1 E., in Reynolds County. Data for the whole-rock samples are listed in table 1, and data for the insoluble-residue samples are listed in table 2. Missouri log number, county, and location allow correlation with the stratigraphic logs on file at the Missouri Division of Geology and Land Survey in Rolla, Mo.
