| Abstract | The Bluebell and Goshute Peak Wilderness Study Areas are contiguous tracts in the Goshute-Toano Range in northeastern Nevada just southwest of Wendover. The US Geological Survey and US Bureau of Mines undertook a joint investigation to assess the potential for undiscovered mineral resources and appraise the identified resources of the two areas. Part of the bluebell study area has a high mineral resource potential for undiscovered gold and part has a moderate resource potential for undiscovered gold. Part of the Goshute Peak study area has a low resource potential for undiscovered gold. Both areas have a high resource potential for large, undiscovered deposits of high-purity limestone. The Bluebell study area has a moderate resource potential for undiscovered high-purity phosphate. Both areas have a low resource potential for undiscovered oil and gas. The bluebell study area has a low resource potential for undiscovered tin, tungsten, beryllium, uranium, and thorium. Identified resources include gold (Bluebell study area only), high-purity limestone, and construction materials. |
