The Deer Flat mining district is located on the Monument Upwarp in central San Juan County, between the White Canyon district to the west and Elk Ridge district to the east. Copper prospecting began in the White Canyon area in the 1880s but led to little development. Uranium exploration and development began in the late 1940s with the first production from the Hideout No.1 mine in 1949. Total district metal production at modern metal prices is estimated at $45 million. Deer Flat is a significant U ±Cu producing district and Hideout No.1 is believed to be the largest producer.
The rocks of the Monument Upwarp, west of the Comb Ridge monocline, generally dip gently west at about 5°; however, very gentle monoclinal flexures may have influenced the location of ore at Deer Flat. The host stratum in the Deer Flat district is the Upper Triassic Shinarump Conglomerate Member of the Chinle Formation. Mineralization is typically associated with westerly flowing stream channels down-cutting into the underlying Moenkopi Formation mudstone (USGS Model 30c). Deposits are in the basal sandstone, tabular to lenticular, associated with carbonaceous trash, and contain from a few tons to more than 15,000 tons of ore. Productive orebodies are 2 to 10 ft thick, 50 to 150 ft wide, and 300 to 500 ft long (Doelling, 1974).
The ore minerals are fine grained, in the interstices of the sandstone, and associated with asphaltite and carbonaceous trash. The unoxidized ore/sulfide minerals are uraninite, chalcopyrite, bornite, domeykite, tennantite, pyrite, and less common galena and sphalerite. Vanadium only occurs in trace amounts. Gangue minerals include calcite, dolomite, manganosiderite, jarosite, limonite, gypsum, and barite. Ore grades average approximately 0.26% U3O8, 0.06% V2O5, and about 0.7% Cu. The underlying Moenkopi Formation mudstone is often bleached near orebodies (Finnel and others, 1963).
