    Description
    The Tract 11 and Tract 17 uranium mines, in the Monument Valley area of Navajo County, Arizona, were developed as the result of sealed, competitive bidding for Navajo Tribal lands to be opened for uranium exploration. They are the western most uranium mines in the Arizona portion of Monument Valley. The information presented in this report is from documents and maps of the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) that were located in the files of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) at the Denver Federal Center. This information is part of the collection of geological data that was moved to the Denver Federal Center by the Department of Energy (DOE). In 1983 the uranium resource and liaison programs of the DOE were transferred from Grand Junction, Colorado, to Washington, D.C. During the next few years, all of the geologic data and publications that the AEC, Energy Research and Development Administration, and DOE had collected and produced from 1947 to 1983 were relocated to the USGS in Denver. Warren I. Finch of the USGS permitted me to copy the maps for the Arizona Geological Survey. In his compilation of Arizona uranium deposits, Scarborough (1981, p.225) lists a Tract 2 in Monument Valley as having produced 13,523 tons of ore, averaging 0.34% U30 S from 1958 through 1962. Navajo Tribal Mining Department and AEC records indicate that Tract 2 was never leased and there was no production. It is believed that Scarborough mistook an 11 in the ABC files for a Roman numeral two (II) since this production checks with the AEC records for Tract 11 through 1962.
