CRIB-UTAH: Utah Metal and Nonmetal Resource 

Information Available in the U.S. Geological Survey 

Mineral Data System-Computerized Resource Information Bank 

By Edwin W. Tooker and George Wong 

INTRODUCTION 

The U.S. Geological Survey's revised and 

expanded computerized resource information 

file for the State of Utah, CRIB-UTAH, is available for public use through the aegis of the 

Office of Information Systems Programs, University of Oklahoma, and the General Electric 

World-Wide MARK 3000 Computer Network. 

Part of a national file of resource data, the Utah 

file currently consists of more than 3,500records 

containing location, geologic, and resource information about metal and some nonmetal deposits or commodity occurrences in the State. 

These records are stored in the U.S. Geological 

Survey's Computerized Resource Information 

Bank (CRIB), a part of the U.S. Geological Survey's Mineral Data System (MDS) which is 

revised in a continuing program of verification, 

documentation, corrections, and addition of new 

information. 

The retrieval programs available for use with 

CRIB make possible highly selective rapid 

searches of this file. The information can be 

reproduced as a complete record or specified 

parts of a record, as tabulations, and as map 

plots for selected fields of interest. Procedures 

for public access and use can be obtained from 

the Director of Information Systems Programs, 

University of Oklahoma, P.O. Box 3030, Norman, OK 73070. Additional information concerning MDS-CRIB can be obtained from the 

Regional MDS Representative, U.S. Geological 

Survey, 345 Middlefield Road, Menlo Park, CA 

94025; Federal Center, Denver, CO 80225; or 

National Center, 12201 Sunrise Valley Drive, 

Reston, VA 22092. 

CRIB-UTAH provides a source of existing 

resource information from a number of special1 

ized internal Geological Survey files (see U.S. 

Geological Survey, 1979) and publicly available 

literature sources. The file represents a comprehensive central source of documented or verified 

nonconfidential geologic and resource information about metal and nonmetal mineral localities for the State of Utah. The file excludes 

organic fuels, most industrial minerals (clays 

and saline evaporate minerals), and construction materials (i.e., sand, gravel, and cement 

rock). Complementary files discussed below, are 

available for those resource materials specifically excluded. 

A compilation of data such as this relies on 

the cooperation and assistance of many persons. We are pleased to acknowledge some of 

those whose contributions to the completion of 

this file have been substantial: Maureen G. 

Johnson, Jocelyn A. Peterson, and Donald F. 

Huber, U.S. Geological Survey, guided us 

through the computer input-output phases. 

Donald T. McMillan, director, and Hellmut H. 

Doelling, economic geologist, of the Utah Geological and Mineral Survey were most cooperative in discussing the methodology of resource 

files and in exchanges of data. Gail McCoy, William J. Moore, Richard A. Armin, HalT. Morris, 

Roscoe M. Smith, and Thomas A. Steven, U.S. 

Geological Survey, contributed information from 

the Thoele, Delta, and Richfield 1 °X2° quadrangle projects of the Conterminous United States 

Mineral Assessment Program (CUSMAP). William J. Hassler made available the Utah files of 

the U.S. Geological Survey exploration loan 

programs (OME and DMEA). Terry W. Offield, 

U.S. Geological Survey, contributed computerized information on energy materials in Utah 

from the National Uranium Resource Evaluation (NURE) program. To the many others, 

unnamed, we tender our sincere thanks. 
PURPOSE OF THE CRIB-UTAH FILE 

CRIB-UTAH is one of several files currently 

being compiled by the U.S. Geological Survey 

for the conterminous United States to be a working tool in meeting advisory responsibilities for 

assessing the known and potential locatable 

mineral resources of the nation (U.S. Geological 

Survey, 1975). Constructed primarily for use by 

the U.S. Geological Survey to help meet its specific national resource responsibilities, it complements several other files prepared for regional, local, or other uses. The file will also be 

available for use in geologic mapping, mineralcommodity compilations, and metallogenesis 

research. Focus is therefore on those metallic 

and nonmetallic commodities of broad national 

or international interest, rather than on equally 

important materials that are generally abundant but of more local (Statewide) economic significance: common nonmetals (sodium and potassium), industrial minerals (brick clay, limestone 

for flux, or gem stones), and construction materials (sand, gravel, and cement rock). The CRIBUTAH file emphasizes geologic information on 

resource occurrence, because the geologic availability of the resource material is a primary consideration. While no appraisal of currently economic resources is made, all available production 

data are included. 

COMPLEMENTARY AVAILABLE 

RESOURCE DATA 

Complementary data file sources for the organic fuels, industrial (metallic and nonmetallic) minerals, and construction materials are 

available. Reports and documents on organic 

fuel materials are located in several files described in U.S. Geological Survey Circular 817 

(1979). Some of these data are included in the 

MDS-CRIB files of the Utah Geological and 

Mineral Survey (UGMS), 606 Black Hawk Way, 

Salt Lake City, UT 84108. The UGMS file also 

contains geologic information on the occurrence 

and estimates of the resource potential of the 

common nonmetals, industrial minerals, and 

construction materials. Information about the 

economic factors of resource production of metallic and nonmetallic materials may be found in 

the Minerals Availability System (MAS) file 

prepared by the U.S. Bureau of Mines (1974), 

2 

available through the U.S. Bureau of Mines, 

Western Field Operations Center, East 315Montgomery Avenue, Spokane, WA 99107. 

DESCRIPTION OF THE CRIB-UTAH FILE 

The CRIB-UTAH file currently contains 3,552 

entries similar in format to the example shown 

as table 1. CRIB is a dynamic file continually 

being corrected, updated, and added to as new 

information is made available. The file is an 

inventory of metal and nonmetal occurrence 

localities. The records include available data 

such as the name, location, geologic setting, 

commodity information, deposit development 

information, production, resource potential, and 

significant literature citations. The file uses the 

program GIPSY, an English-based computer 

language format by which new data and new 

records can be added easily, old data corrected 

and revised, and superfluous or duplicate records 

deleted (Keefer and Calkins, 1978). Information 

about a metal or nonmetal commodity, its location by district, county, longitude and latitude, 

Universal 'fransverse Mercator (UTM), or township and range, can be retrieved by means of 

interactive access, batch computer text, tabular 

printout, or map plots. 

Geologic and resource information about historical mineral deposits (those now worked out), 

currently economic and productive deposits, 

and su beconomic occurrence localities that may 

contain potentially usable metallic or nonmetallic resource materials make this file more 

than an inventory of past and present productive deposits. 

Output retrieval from the CRIB-UTAH file 

may be in the form of batch computer text similar to that shown in table 1, or in selective tabular printout similar to that shown in table 2. 

Tables and maps used here that were derived 

directly from the computer have not been edited 

or reviewed for conformity with Geological Survey standards and nomenclature. 

SOURCES OF CRIB INFORMATION 

The CRIB-UTAH file brings together in verified form several overlapping sources of data 

from individual resource programs within the 

Geologic and Conservation Divisions of the 

U.S. Geological Survey and data from State of 
Utah agencies and other public and private 

sources. The Conservation Division has had 

special responsibility for the assessment and 

management of leasable minerals on Federal 

lands; the Geologic Division has maintained 

special expertise for the assessment and measurement of the geologic availability of the major 

metal and nonmetal commodities and has responsibility for locatable minerals on all lands. The 

Geologic Division has managed the U.S. Geological Survey mineral exploration loan programs (OME-DMEA) and has been involved in 

the National Uranium Resource Evaluation 

(NURE), and the Forest Service Regional Area 

Resource Evaluation (RARE II), a mapping 

program to assess the resource potential in the 

Richfield, Thoele, and Delta 1 °X2° quadrangles, 

as part of the Conterminous United States Mineral Assessment Program (CUSMAP). Programs 

such as the Circumpacific Resource Study, the 

National Atlas, the Wilderness Resource Assessment programs, and the metallogenic map program of the Geologic Division are a few of the 

major continuing sources of information. 

A major source of data for this file is the Utah 

Geological and Mineral Survey (UGMS), which 

has developed a file for use in the resource 

appraisal of leasable and other minerals for the 

U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to 

assist them in management of leasable minerals on Federal lands in Utah. The extensive published literature on the mineral resources of 

Utah is an important additional source of data. 

LEVELS OF COVERAGE AND ACCURACY 

The CRIB-UTAH file is a level-one compilation (U.S. Geological Survey, 1975, p. 19) or 

inventory of known and available resource information based essentially on a search of existing files and of the literature. Each entry has 

been verified as to location by longitude and 

latitude and UTM coordinates, references to the 

literature have been authenticated, and the geologic information in the file has been expanded 

where possible. Even so, the records vary in the 

amount of detail, quality, and consistency, in 

large part because of similar variations in the 

original data, the differences in intensity and 

specialization of the individual contributors, 

the particular program emphasis of the contrib3 

utor, and differences in an individual's capabilities for making such observations. We have 

made no onsite investigations in individual 

deposits, mines, or prospects, and no assessments or estimates of resource potential have 

been added by the compilers of the present file to 

those of the original contributors. Should the 

depth of information currently in the files be 

insufficient for the users' purposes, appropriate 

references cited should be consulted. The extent 

and distribution of mineral deposits and occurrence localities in the file are summarized in 

table 1. Table 2 shows the total number of 

records and the distribution of major commodity groups by county and geologic provinces in 

Utah. 

SUMMARY MAPS OF METAL AND NONMETAL 

LOCALITIES 

The series of maps that follow afford a visual 

estimate of the individual metal and nonmetal 

commodity localities documented in the CRIBUTAH file, as detailed in table 2, within the 

boundaries of the main geologic regions in 

Utah, the Great Basin, the Northern Rocky 

Mountains, and the Colorado Plateau (which 

also happen to coincide with physiographic 

provinces-the Basin and Range, the Northern 

Rocky Mountains, and the Colorado Plateaus), 

and individual counties (figs.1-20). Index to the 

1 °x2° quadrangle base maps in the State is inset 

on figure 1. The distribution maps (figs. 2-20) are 

in order of base metals (copper, lead, and zinc); 

precious metals (gold and silver); ferroalloy 

metals (iron, manganese, titanium, molybdenum, and vanadium); uranium; and other important but less abundant materials-beryllium, phosphorus, mercury, tungsten, fluorine 

(as fluorite), barium (as barite), the rare-earth 

minerals (including thorium and monazite), arsenic, bismuth, cadmium, antimony, selenium, 

and tellurium. Because these maps are reproductions of computer printouts, they do not include all the information expected from maps 

that comply with Geological Survey standards 

and nomenclature. Although not all locality 

points may be resolvable at the reduced scale 

shown, local areas of interest can be resolved on 

computer plots at a more detailed scale.
