From Purpose and Scope of Study: "The McDermitt NTMS Quadrangle, Nevada, was evaluated to identify and delineate areas and geologic units that exhibit characteristics favorable for the occurrence of uranium deposits. Geologic environments were evaluated primarily on the basis of surface investigations; only a limited amount of subsurface data was available. Each environment was categorized as favorable, unfavorable, or unevaluated for uranium deposits.
