Introduction

 This report and accompanying map (Plate 1) presents information on the Defense

Minerals Administration (DMA), Defense Minerals Exploration Administration

(DMEA), and Office of Minerals Exploration (OME) mineral exploration programs in

Washington. Under these programs, the federal government participated in the

exploration costs for certain strategic and critical minerals. Federal funds for mineral

exploration under the programs were available from 1950 to 1974, although limited funds

for OME administrative work were continued until 1979.

 The report reviews the three programs, associated regulations, administrative

procedures, and operational techniques. It also describes the various types of informative

reports generated by the programs, lists mining properties in Washington that were

involved in the exploration programs, and advises on location of compiled exploration

information that resulted from the work.

Defense Production Act programs

 The Defense Production Act of 1950 (Public Law 774, 81st Congress) provided

financial assistance to private enterprise for the production of goods and services

necessary for national security. Title III, Section 302 of the Defense Production Act,

provided for encouragement of exploration, development, and mining of critical and

strategic metals and minerals. Under provisions of the Act, the Secretary of the

Department of the Interior, established the Defense Minerals Administration, within the

department, by a Secretarial Order dated December 4, 1950. Along with other duties, the

Defense Minerals Administration was to serve as a direct contracting agency for minerals

exploration.

Defense Minerals Administration (DMA) program

 The DMA program was administered at national headquarters, Department of the

Interior building, Washington DC, by a small group of senior mining engineers and

geologists, recruited from the minerals industry. These men were widely experienced in

mineral exploration and mine development.

 The headquarters group developed guidelines, forms, and operational procedures for

the government-supported (DMA) minerals exploration program. They prepared

pamphlets that described the DMA program, identified minerals classified as strategic

and critical, advised on the percentages of exploration costs the government would pay

on exploration for the minerals. They developed application forms for use in seeking

federal financial assistance, and contract forms for those cases where an application was
3

approved and a mineral exploration contract was negotiated between the applicant and

the federal government.

 DMA officials relied on Field Teams composed of U.S. Geological Survey (USGS)

geologists and U.S. Bureau of Mines (USBM) engineers for all field work. The United

States was divided into regions, with different USGS-USBM Field Teams responsible

for field investigations in the different regions. Regional headquarters for Field Team

work in Montana, Idaho, Oregon, and Washington was the U.S. Geological Survey Field

Office in Spokane, Washington.

 The initial step of an applicant seeking Federal financial aid in mineral exploration aid

was submittal of an application. The application required description of the real property

to be involved, and description of the proposed exploration work. Description of

geologic features of the property to be explored also was required, along with an

explanation of the strategic mineral or minerals being sought, and reasons for expecting

the proposed work to result in a significant discovery. Also required were maps or

illustrations of the prospective property that showed location of the proposed work,

location of proposed work with respect to property boundaries, and existing mine

workings, if any. Many applications contained supporting geologic or engineering

reports. These commonly contained maps or illustrations that showed grades and

thickness of known parts of the deposit, and other descriptive information.

 Upon receipt of an application, DMA officials would request that a field examination

of the proposed exploration site be made by the appropriate USGS-USBM Field Team,
4

and that a report covering the field examination be submitted to DMA headquarters. If

the field team application examination report indicated that proposed exploratory work

might result in a significant discovery, and if ownership or title to the prospective

property was clear, DMA usually entered into an exploration contract with the applicant,

who, thereafter, was identified as the contract operator. The exploration contract

specified the work to be done, determined the time frame in which the work was to be

done, estimated the total exploration costs of the project, determined the amount

estimated costs to be paid by the government, and included other pertinent data.

 The exploration contract obligated the contract operator to certain responsibilities.

These included submittal of monthly progress reports, which were used by the

government to justify payment of the government’s share of exploration costs for work

completed during the reporting period. A final report was required upon completion of

the exploration project. This report was supposed to cover all aspects of the exploration

project, including accomplishments, costs, and findings. Should ore be mined and sold

from the obligated property during the time the exploration contract was in force, the

contract operator was obligated to repay the government for its share of the exploration

costs at a fixed percentage of funds derived from the sale of the ore. In the event a

significant discovery was made by the exploration contract and the government decided

the exploration project had been successful, the government issued a Certificate of

Possible Production to the contract operator, under which a specified royalty was to be

paid to the government on mineral production from the obligated property. The obligated
5

royalty rate varied according to terms of the Certificate of Possible Production but

commonly was 5 percent of the net smelter returns on processed ore, and was for a

specified period of time, commonly for 10 years from the date of the contract, or until the

government’s share of exploration costs had been repaid, whichever occurred first. If no

discovery was made, repayment was not required and the contract operator was notified

that the government had no lien on the obligated property. The contract operator was not

obligated to mine any ore found by contract work, nor was the government obligated to

purchase any mineral material found by contract work.

 DMA was a short-lived program that was terminated on November 20, 1951.

Defense Minerals Exploration Administration (DMEA) program

 The previously described DMA program was concerned with aspects of the minerals

field other than mineral exploration. These other aspects included, serving as a claimant

agency for materials and facilities, as an advisory agency responsible for a minerals

supply expansion program, and as an allocation program for ores and concentrates in

short supply. The various aspects, other than mineral exploration, were transferred to the

Defense Materials Procurement Agency (DMPA), General Services Administration, on

November 20, 1951. As a means of continuing the mineral exploration program started

under DMA, the Secretary of the Department of the Interior established the DMEA

program within the department, effective November 20, 1951.

 The DMEA program was confined to exploration for critical and strategic minerals and

was administrated by the same personnel who had formerly administered the DMA
6

program. It operated from the same national headquarters site. Under the DMEA

program, DMEA officials were responsible for processing all exploration applications

received under the DMA program and for administrative work involved in completion of

exploration contracts started under the DMA program. Some DMA exploration contracts

were revised and subsequently executed as DMEA contracts. DMEA also issued

Certificates of Possible Production to DMA contracts, if, in the opinion of the

government, mine production of ore was likely to result from a successful exploration

project. In rare instances the government issued a royally obligation to an exploration

contract operator that was similar to a Certificate of Possible Production. Such a royalty

obligation was issued to ensure repayment of the government’s share of exploration

consts, in an instance where exploration work gave good indications of a possible mineral

discovery, which would benefit the obligated property, but where the scheduled

exploration was terminated by the contract operator short of completion of work specified

in the contract. The DMEA program utilized the same USGS-USBM Field Team

arrangement, and operated more or less under the same regulations, practices, and

procedures established by DMA. It was a much more extensive program than DMA and

continued until 1958, when it was terminated.

Mineral Exploration under Public Law 85-701

 Government-supported mineral exploration under the Defense Production Act of 1950

was not considered justifiable in 1958, as defense needs of mineral supplies were

considered to have been met. It was recognized, however, that there continued to be a
7

need for mineral raw materials to meet an expanding national economy. To meet this

need, Congress, on August 21, 1958, enacted Public Law 85-701, under which

governmental financial assistance, on a participating basis, was available to private

industry for stimulation of exploration for such raw materials as might be designated by

the Secretary of the Department of the Interior. Under this law, the Secretary of the

Department of the Interior established the Office of Minerals Exploration program on

September 11, 1958.

Office of Minerals Exploration (OME) program

 The OME program was similar to the previous DMA and DMEA programs but more

restrictive. It was operated under the same Department of the Interior administrative

offices and utilized the same USGS-USBM Field Team arrangement as had the previous

DMA and DMEA programs. It adhered, more or less, to practices, regulations and

procedures that had been established under the two preceding programs. One change in

the OME program was allowance of participating funds for the exploration of certain

minerals and metals, including gold and silver, that had not been eligible under the two

previous programs. Funds for the government-supported mineral exploration program

came from annual appropriations to the Department of the Interior.

 To economize on costs, all administrative and operating responsibilities of the OME

program were transferred to the USGS in 1965. Thereafter, all field functions previously

handled by the USGS-USBM Field Team were performed by USGS personnel. Funds

allocated to the USGS for participation in OME mineral exploration projects were
8

terminated in 1974, although limited administrative funds continued to be received by the

USGS until 1979. These administrative funds covered costs of such work as closing out

existing exploration contracts, preparation of final reports on completed contracts, and

continued review and audit of royalty funds received from the sale of ore mined from

deposits that had been discovered by the government-supported exploration projects, and

subsequently covered by a Certificate of Possible Production, or which, by contract

amendment, were obligated to royalty payment. A change in regulations concerning

acquisition of federal assistance in financing exploration for mineral reserves in the

United States, its territories and possessions became effective on January 19, 1993 (

Federal Register, vol. 57, no. 243, December 17, 1992). The change in regulations

terminated the OME program.

Filing practices for DMA, DMEA, and OME data

 Applications for financial assistance in mineral exploration were sent either directly to

national headquarters, Department of the Interior, Washington DC, or else to USGSUSBM Field Team headquarters of the region in which the property to be explored was

located. Applications received at a Field Team headquarters were forwarded to the

national headquarters in Washington DC. At national headquarters, applications were

filed under individual docket numbers, which subsequently were used by both national

headquarters and the field team as a means of cataloguing and identifying correspondence

and documents related to the particular application or to a resulting exploration contract.

The national headquarters file, in effect, became the master file for all compiled
9

information resulting from the application. Copies of compiled information on

applications and on exploration contracts that resulted from the applications also

commonly were filed at the Field Team headquarters office in the region where the

concerned properties were located. For applications that concerned properties in

Washington, the Field Team regional headquarters was at the USGS field office in

Spokane, Washington.

 After 1965, when OME activities were consolidated under the USGS, OME

applications were sent either to the OME office of the USGS in Washington DC, or to

field offices of the USGS in Knoxville, Tennessee, Denver, Colorado, Menlo Park,

California, or Spokane, Washington, depending on the location of the applicant’s

property.

Information compiled under the DMA, DMEA, or OME programs

 A variety of technical information was generated by the DMA, DMEA, and OME

programs. Property and proposed work descriptions together with geologic and

analytical information on the target to be explored were submitted with the initial

application. Such information commonly was accompanied by unpublished supporting

technical reports or production records on the property. Operators of active exploration

contracts were obligated by contract terms to submit monthly progress reports that

described work that had been completed. Exploration contracts also obligated contract

operators to submit final reports on completed projects. These final reports described

exploration work that was done, costs, problems, and findings. The USGS-USBM Field
10

Team wrote application reports that covered initial field investigation of the proposed

exploration project, interim reports that covered field investigations of active exploration

projects, and final reports that covered accomplishments and findings of completed

contracts. After administrative responsibilities for the OME program were transmitted to

the USGS in 1965, all reports formerly written by the USGS-USBM Field Team were

written by the USGS personnel.

Field team application report

 Applications for financial assistance in Washington, once received at national

headquarters, Department of the Interior, Washington DC, were transmitted to the

regional office in Spokane, with the request that a Field Team examination be made of

the applicant’s property and proposed exploration project, and that an application report

on the examination be prepared and submitted to the national headquarters office. The

Field Team application report investigated all factors concerned with the applicant’s

proposal. Principal attention was given to the geology of the exploration target and to

whether the proposed work had a reasonable chance of resulting in a significant

discovery. The applicant’s maps, illustrative material, and reports were examined at the

proposed project site. If the maps were found to be inadequate, new maps or other

illustrative material were prepared by the Field Team. Samples of mineralized structures

were taken and assayed to check sample values reported by the applicant. The location of

proposed work, with respect to existing mine workings and to mining claim or property

boundaries was examined as were documents pertaining to the applicants rights to the
11

prospective property. The estimated costs, time schedule of proposed work, equipment to

be used, and operating experience of the applicant or the applicant’s supervisor were

considered. The proposed work was carefully studied to see if it presented the most

logical way of exploring the mineralized target. Modifications of the proposed work

often were discussed with the applicant and commonly were adopted.

 The Field Team application report, in effect, evaluated the applicant’s proposal and the

geologic probability of the proposed work resulting in a significant discovery. It

provided a basis for the national headquarters decision on whether to approve or deny an

application. For applications that subsequently were denied, the application report

commonly represented the best-documented source of geologic information on the

concerned property.

Exploration contract

 An approved application usually resulted in an exploration contract between the

federal government and the applicant. The contract was designed to do the work

proposed in the application, or that of a modified exploration plan approved jointly by the

applicant and the government. Under the contract, the government agreed to participate

in the costs of completed work on a prorated basis and for a fixed amount. The

percentage of exploration costs to be paid for by the government depended on the

principal metal to be explored. For example, the government paid 90 percent of the

exploration costs at a uranium deposit but only 50 percent of the costs at a copper

deposit. The contract obligated the contract operator to prepare and submit certain
12

reports. The Field Team also prepared reports that dealt with the exploratory work done

by the contract operator.

Exploration contract operator’s reports

 Monthly progress report 

 An exploration contract obligated the contract operator to submit a monthly progress

report that described exploration work accomplished and costs that had been incurred

during the reporting period. Payment to the operator, for the government’s share of

exploration costs incurred during the reporting period, was based on the monthly progress

reports, which usually were brief and factual. Occasionally, the operator would request

an amendment to the contract and would use the monthly progress report to justify the

request. For example, the exploration work might have uncovered evidence that

indicated proposed work in the target area should be changed, in which case the contract

operator would use the monthly progress report, along with accompanying maps or

geologic illustrations to justify a requested contract amendment. In such instances, the

monthly progress report might constitute the only documented information for an

amended change in the exploration project.

 Final report 

 An exploration contract stipulated that the contract operator submit a final report upon

completion of contract work. This report reviewed exploration accomplishments,

problems encountered, findings, and costs. It usually contained maps and geologic

sketches to illustrate what had been done and found. In instances where a significant
13

mineral discovery was made, the report commonly presented estimates of the tonnage

and grade of ore reserves found. Final reports on unsuccessful contracts usually were

brief and non informative.

Field Team reports

 Interim report

 Interim reports by the USGS-USBM Field Team, and, after 1965, by the USGS, were

based on routine field investigations of a property being explored under an exploration

contract. The principal purpose of these investigations was to see that exploration work

was being done in conformance to contract specifications. Some interim reports,

particularly those that described amended changes in contract specifications, often

contained assay information and sketches of the geologic findings.

 Final report 

 A final report by the USGS-USBM Field Team, and, after 1965, by the USGS,

described and summarized accomplishments of the exploration contract. The report

reviewed the geologic setting of the deposit, geologic structures that controlled the ore

body, the mineralogy, and alteration features of the deposit or associated wallrock. It

presented information on tonnage and grade of discovered ore reserves, using the contract

operator’s data, where acceptable, otherwise it presented Field Team calculations, based

on contract findings. Final reports included maps, sample and assay data, and other

supporting information. The report discussed geologic guides to ore, where they had

been determined, and described additional targets that warranted exploration, should the
14

exploration work have identified such targets. Maps showing location of the completed

work with respect to property boundaries were included. The report included a

description of completed work, summary of costs and an evaluation of the project. It

recommended a Certification of Possible Production when appropriate, or noted the

existence of an already declared royalty obligation, should one have been declared

previously. Also discussed was whether the government should participate in the funding

of further exploration work at the property. The Field Team final report was

comprehensive and contained most of the available compiled information on the explored

deposit.

Mineral exploration in Washington

 The location of mineralized properties in Washington, for which applications for DMA,

DMEA, or OME mineral exploration assistance were received, is shown on the enclosed

map (Plate 1). Property locations are shown by county, in appropriate townships, and in

approximate sections. Property names, location and other identifying information are

presented in Table 1, the information based largely on material available in USGS files at

Spokane, Washington, prior to 1996. Applications that did not result in exploration

contracts are shown on the map by a set of open symbols that differ slightly from the

partly filled symbols that mark the sites of properties that were explored under

exploration contracts. Exploration contracts that resulted in significant mineral

discoveries, and for which Certificates of Possible Production were issued, or which,
15

because of contract amendment stipulated royalty obligations on ore mined from the

obligated property, are shown by similar shaped but solid symbols. All symbols are

keyed to the program under which the application was filed. A number near the property

symbol on the map keys the property to Table 1.

 Many property locations shown on the map are only approximate and are based on

indefinite information.

 Topographic maps of usable scale, and covering the location of many applicant properties,

were not available in parts of Washington when much of government-supported

exploration work was done. For properties in such areas, USGS-USBM Field Team

members commonly used the applicant’s description of the property location. Such

location descriptions may have referred to a site as a certain distance from a town or from

road or stream junctions. As these distances commonly were measured in miles, the map

locations, in terms of section, range, and township were indefinite. Accurate location

descriptions in the mountainous northern part of the Cascade Range were especially

difficult to obtain. In that area, particularly in the western part of Okanogan County, the

northern part of Chelan County and the eastern parts of Whatcom, Skagit, and Snohomish

Counties, insufficient land surveys made accurate descriptions of appropriate townships

and sections difficult to determine. For example, on Plate l, townships 12 and 15 are

shown at normal size in the southern part of the state, but are shown narrowing

progressively in east-west dimension to the north, making accurate identification of them

and adjoining townships difficult. Topographic maps of the USGS, and maps of the
16

U.S. Forest Service maps, available in 1998, have helped to identify property locations

listed in Table 1 more accurately.

 Table 1 lists the docket number under which all material pertaining to the exploration

application was filed, the name of the applicant, the property or claim name, strategic and

critical minerals of the property, and the location of the property by section, township and

range. The map number shown on the right side of the table corresponds to the map

number near the property location shown by symbol on the map (Plate l). The symbol

shown on the map, at a located site, identifies the type of program that was concerned,

whether the application resulted in an exploration contract, and whether exploration done

under the contract was successful and the property subsequently covered by a Certificate

of Possible Production or obligated to royalty payment by contract amendment.

 Table 1 shows that more than one application was filed on many properties. In such

instances, the property is identified on the map by the symbol and number applicable to

the initial application, whether it was filed under the DMA, DMEA, or OME program.

This is for map clarification, for more than one symbol or map number at the same site

would be confusing. For properties on which more than one application was filed, Table

1 lists the docket numbers, supporting information applicable to the successive

applications, and, in the status column, shows the status attained by the application. For

example, an application that was denied by the government or withdrawn by the applicant

is shown in the status column as an Application, whereas an application that was

approved and for which a contract was negotiated is shown as a Contract. Contracts
17

under which a Certificate of Possible Production was issued, or which for other reasons

obligated the property to repay the government for its share of funds spent on the

exploration contract are shown on the status column as Certified Contracts.

 Successive applications on a single property resulted from different reasons. The

original application may have proposed an exploration plan that was not acceptable to the

government and consequently was denied. The original application may have classified

the property as a lead-zinc deposit, when production statistics and geological data showed

the deposit to have been worked primarily for gold and silver, metals that did not qualify

for federal financial assistance under the DMA and DMEA programs, but did under the

OME program. An application on a property may have been denied, but the property then

came under control by different management, or under another organization, which

subsequently filed a revised application on the property that may have led to an

exploration contract. In another instance, exploration under a DMA, DMEA, or OME

contract may have indicated another target on the same property that also warranted

exploration. This determination could have resulted in a separate application and

subsequent exploration contract.

Location of compiled DMA, DMEA, and OME data

 In 1998, compiled DMA, DMEA, and OME files, covering all government-supported

mineral exploration work done in the United States, were located in archive storage at the

USGS Field Office, Post Office Building, 904 W. Riverside, Spokane, Washington. Prior

to 1996, the Spokane files of the USGS contained only information generated by the
18

exploration programs in the states of Montana, Idaho, Washington, and Oregon. By 1996,

however, the national headquarters master files, which previously had been stored at the

National Records Center, Suitland, Maryland, had been transferred to the USGS field

office at Spokane, Washington, as had USGS files on DMA, DMEA, and OME business

that formerly had been stored at Denver, Colorado, or at Herndon, Virginia.

 Information at the Spokane office, on properties involved in the DMA, DMEA, or

OME programs, can be made available, upon request, provided the requesting person

presents a letter from the property owner authorizing release of the information. With the

letter of authorization on hand, reports, maps, or other information requested is sent to a

private reproduction firm, where the requested material is reproduced at the expense of

the requesting individual. The reproduced material is sent to the requesting individual

and the original material is returned to the USGS storage file.
