Day 1
You will be arriving the day before the course starts at Canyonlands Field Airport, Utah, USA and we will check you in to your hotel in Moab, Utah. The next morning we will begin with a safety briefing, orientation to the field area, and an introduction to sediment-hosted metals with an overview Vanadium, Copper and Uranium mining from the Colorado Plateau.
After the lectures we will go visit Dead Horse State Park where we will discuss the source of the metals in the Paradox Basin, host rocks and possible migration pathways. We will then visit mines that produce all three commodities (Copper-Uranium-Vanadium) and discuss controls on their distribution.
