The Spor Mountain mining district is 43 mi (ca. 69 km) northwest of Delta in Juab County. The district is the world’s premier beryllium (Be) producer and the seventh-largest mining district in Utah as valued by total metal production value. The district is also Utah’s largest fluorite producer and has produced a minor amount of U. The district’s total Be production is estimated at over 3 million tons of ore, averaging over 0.2% Be. Be has been derived from seven small open pits since production began in 1969. Total district metal production at modern metal prices is estimated at $2.8 billion. The Roadside Be open pit mine is probably the most productive mine in the district. The Spor Mountain Be operation is still in production.
The district is part of the Deep Creek–Tintic mineral belt in the eastern Basin and Range Province. Spor Mountain proper consists of a southwest-tilted block of Ordovician to Devonian carbonate rocks and some interbedded shale and orthoquartzite on the northwest flank of the late Eocene Thomas caldera. These sedimentary strata are unconformably overlain by Eocene to Miocene volcanic and volcaniclastic rocks. All the Be deposits in the district are associated with the 21 Ma, high-silica, topaz rhyolites of the Spor Mountain Formation. The Spor Mountain Formation is in turn overlain by the post-mineral, 6 Ma Topaz Mountain Rhyolite (Lindsey, 2001).
The Be deposits are mostly west of Spor Mountain itself and are typically associated with northeast-trending, down-to-the-southeast normal faults/feeders creating half grabens. Beryllium mineralization occurs as epithermal, stratiform, disseminated replacement deposits in a porous volcanic tuff at the base of the half graben. The bertrandite mineralization primarily replaces carbonate clasts in the basal tuff. Beryllium mineralization is associated with Mn and is enriched in other lithophile elements such as F, U, Li, and the rare earth elements (REE) Ce, Dy, Er, Gd, Ho, Nd, Sm, Y, and Yb. The fluorite production in the district comes from a series of small pipes and veins exposed in the Paleozoic carbonate rocks on Spor Mountain proper. The fluorite pipes are generally small-diameter (<50 m) breccia pipes related to faults and small rhyolitic intrusive bodies. On average, the pipes plunge about 70° E, probably in part due to about 20° of westward, post-mineral rotation. The pipes are typically carrot-shaped and narrow at depth. The breccia clasts are primarily carbonate, which have largely been replaced by fluorite (Lindsey, 1982). The Be deposits and fluorite pipes are believed to result from ascending hydrothermal fluids derived from a granitic pluton at depth. Lindsey (1982) postulated a hypothetical rhyolite pluton near Eagle Rock Ridge may be the source of the Be, F, and U mineralization at Spor Mountain.
