Description: A stream-sediment geochemical survey of the Goshute Canyon Resource Survey Area (NV 040-015), was conducted as part of the Bureau of Land Management Phase II mineral resource evaluation. During the summer of 1983, stream-sediment samples were collected from 45 first-order drainage basins within the survey area...A comparison of the geochemical characteristics and geologic setting of the known mineral deposits in the Cherry Creek mining district, south of the survey area, suggests that the identified trace-element suite found within the survey area may be genetically related to a hidden porphyry-type mineral deposit.
