dc.description	The Cameron uranium-mining area is centered around the settlement of Cameron, Arizona, which is 52 miles north of Flagstaff (Figure 1). This area contains numerous uranium ore deposits in the Upper Triassic Chinle Formation. Cameron is the fourth largest area on the Colorado Plateau that produced uranium from this geologic unit. The largest area is the Lisbon Valley in Utah, followed by the greater White Canyon and San Rafael Swell areas in Utah (Chenoweth and McLemore, 1989). Two other geologic units in the Cameron area also produced ore: the Lower Jurassic Kayenta Formation and a breccia pipe in the Lower Triassic Moenkopi Formation (Table 1). This report is the result of the author's field work in the Cameron area during the late 1950's and early 1960's for the AEC. The Navajo Tribal Mining Department in Window Rock, Arizona, provided information on the Navajo Tribal Mining Permits (MP's) to the AEC Flagstaff Field Office.
