An U-V occurrence/claim/prospect pits located in the NE¼NW¼NE¼ sec. 34, T24S, R11E, SLM, at the foot of the west slope of Temple Mountain (0.3 miles SW of), on Bureau of Land Management administered land (located claim). Discovered in 1955. Operated by Thurold Jensen, Utah (1974). NOTE: "Fuemrole" in the original literature is an obvious misnomer for fumerole. The USGS MRDS database accuracy for this locality is not stated.
Mineralization is a U-V deposit hosted in Late Triassic mudstone and Wingate sandstone. The ore body strikes NW and dips SW at a thickness of 0.61 meter, a width of 1.52 meters and a length of 3.05 meters, and with a depth-to-top of 4.57 meters and a depth-to-bottom of 7.62 meters. It is a breccia filled, irregular body covering an area of 0.2 HA. The primary mode of origin was hydrothermal activity. Primary ore control included fracturing. The ore is in a collapse structure and occurs in blebs of asphalt that fills vugs and fractures. Wallrock alteration is intense (carbonitization). Local rocks include Triassic (2) sedimentary rocks in southeastern Utah.
Workings include unspecified surface and underground openings with an overall length of 15.24 meters and an overall width of 15.24 meters.
