Description:
This report is based upon a study which was conducted during the
period of March 1, 1969, through February 28, 1970. It was undertaken
by the Arizona Bureau of Mines to fulfill the stipulation and conditions
of a contract entered into by the Arizona Board of Regents, for the Arizona
Bureau of Mines, with the Four Corners Regional Commission through the
channel of a Technical Assistance Grant- Project No. FCRC 1095012
File No. 191-400-007.
Under the terms of the contract, the Arizona Bureau of Mines has
assembled data that are designed to assist in developing a fundamental
understanding and a geological perspective of the occurrence of coal,
petroleum, natural gas, helium and uranium in Arizona. It is hoped that
this effort will serve those who are interested in the search for additional
supplies of these potentially economic substances, and, in addition, will
constitute the base for continuing efforts by the Arizona Bureau of Mines
and other agencies concerned with the orderly development of these and
other natural resources.
Presentations are made in three parts, namely: (1) Coal; (2) Oil,
Natural Gas, and Helium; and (3) Uranium. A unified bibliography,
involving each of these commodities, is presented at the end of the report.
Numerous tables and illustrations which concisely summarize significant
data are included within each section, in the appendix, and as plates in
the pocket at the back. 289 p.
