19 5 3 AEC REPORT
In addition to mineralized breccias, low-grade orebodies
occur along favorable limestone beds in the lower Weber
[Belden]. These orebodies are apparently related to bedding
faults but more so to cross faults, and diminish in size
away from the latter. The ores contain less silver but more
lead than the breccias, and the minerals are less oxidized.
Gangue minerals are carbonate and small amounts of silica.
Work by the Bureau of Mines, pp. 10-46. USBM work consisted
of rehabilitation, geologic and topographic mapping, channel
sampling, and percussion and diamond drilling.
Rehabilitation was done to make the mine workings safe for
sampling. An attempt to reopen the No. 3 tunnel was
unsuccessful. The rest of this section contains sample
location and analysis tables, location and interpretation
maps, drill hole logs and so on.

The summary of reconnaissance geology and sampling work

Commission, including the examination of mine dumps,
accessible mine workings, and limited outcrops, for uranium.
Abstract, p. 5. No significant radioactivity was found in
the Aspen area except in the Smuggler mine. Uranium in the
Smuggler occurs in a fault breccia consisting of dolomitic
limestone blocks and fragments in a carbonaceous shale
matrix.00 Uranium, thought to be in the form of primary
pitchblende, occurs in a matrix along with lead, zinc and
silver sulfides, and silver sulfosalts. Some uranium also
Again, this interpretation has been proven incorrect; the
principal breccias are sedimentary features within the Leadville
Limestone and at its contact with the Belden formation, with little or
n0 fault control. See $TEGEN THESIS dnd STEGEN REPORT.
