Description
Summary:Abstract: Radiometric and mineralogic study of 10 concentrate samples from the placers of Julian, Moore, and Candle Creeks, and the Cripple Creek Mountains, Lower Yukon-Kuskokwim Highlands region, Alaska, failed to reveal any significant amounts of uranium. Only the sample from Julian Creek shows and appreciable amount of radioactivity (0.03 percent equivalent uranium), but this is attributed entirely to thorium in monazite.
