dc.description | The Golden Crown Mine, on George Harrison's Navajo Tribal Mining Permit, was a small oxidized uranium deposit. Unlike other uranium ore deposits in the Monument Valley area, the deposit was not hosted in a paleo-channel in the Shinarump member of the Chinle Formation. The name, Golden Crown, has caused some confusion in the past as Golden Crown Mining Company operated the Orphan Lode Mine within Grand Canyon National Park during 1956 and 1957 [Chenoweth, 1986]. In some newspaper stories, during the uranium boom, the operators of the small mine in Monument Valley were associated with the large Orphan Lode Mine in the Grand Canyon. Information on the Golden Crown Mine was recently located in the files of the US. Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) stored at the Grand Junction Projects Office of the US. Department of Energy. This brief report summarizes this information. | |
