Description
The Sunlight and South Sunlight Mines were two of fifteen uranium deposits located by exploration drilling in the Oljeto syncline area of Monument Valley, Navajo County, Arizona. Of all the deposits that were mined, the Sunlight was the third largest and the South Sunlight was the sixth largest. In his compilation of data of uranium in Arizona, Scarborough (1981, p.2l8) confused these two mines on the Big Four No.1 claim with the small Big Four No.2 Mine on that claim. Most of the information in the this report is from U. S. Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) documents. Unfortunately, no maps of the mine workings could be located. This report is another one in the series on uranium mines in the Monument Valley area of Navajo County, Arizona (See Appendix 1).
