2009 Summary of Mineral Activity in Utah


Book Description

This publications discusses the gross value of energy and mineral commodities Utah mines and energy companies produced during 2009. It also discusses the types of energy and mineral commodities produced in the state, and how that production compares nationally. The Utah Geological Survey has compiled mineral summaries for Utah on an annual basis beginning in 1989. This is the latest in that series of mineral summaries.




2008 Summary of Mineral Activity in Utah


Book Description

The Utah Geological Survey has compiled mineral activity summaries for Utah on an annual basis beginning in 1989. This CD contains the 14-page summary for 2008. These summaries have been publishing in the May issues of Mining Engineering, a publication of the Society for Mining, Metallurgy, and Exploration, Inc. The summaries divide mineral values into four broad segments of Utah?s mineral industry, including base metals, industrial metals, and energy minerals (coal and uranium). In addition to acquiring data through operator surveys, the UGS works in cooperation with the USGS and Utah Division of Oil, Gas, and Mining. A large part of the data for exploration and development activity is acquired from individual Web sites, trade industry publications, and correspondence.




Utah Mining 2010


Book Description

The abundant mineral resources in Utah have proved to be a great benefit to the people here and to the entire United States for over 160 years. This report summarizes the mineral and coal activity for 2010, taking into account historical context, over-all industry overview, and mineral outlook for 2011. The sections in this publication include: base- and precious metal production, industrial-minerals production, energy minerals production, exploration and development activity, new minerals information, and reclamation and the environment.




Gilsonite Veins of the Uinta Basin, Utah


Book Description

Previous studies have shown the Escalante Valley, Utah, is subsiding due to groundwater withdrawal. The magnitude and spatial pattern of this cm/yr.-scale subsidence is mapped with satellite data from a synthetic aperture radar (SAR) using interferometric SAR (InSAR) processing techniques.

Annual Review and Forecast of Utah Coal Production and Distribution - 2009


Book Description

Utah coal production for 2009 dropped 9.7% to 21.9 million tons, mostly due to the decreased demand as a result of the world-wide economic downturn. In fact, all of Utah coal mines, except the Emery mine, recorded production declines.

Hydrogeology of Morgan Valley, Morgan County, Utah


Book Description

This report characterizes the relationship of geology to groundwater occurrence and flow, with emphasis on determining the thickness of the valley-fill aquifer and water yielding properties of the fractured rock aquifers. Develops a water budget for the drainage basin and classifies the groundwater quality and identifies the likely sources of nitrate in groundwater.
