N2 - The High Rock Canyon Wilderness Study Area (CA-020-913B), located 40 mi north of Gerlach, Nev., and 25 mi south-southeast of Vya, Nev., encompasses approx 33 300 acres. Surveys on 11 980 acres are referred to as the study area. There are no identified mineral resources in the study area. However, these studies indicate that parts of the study area have a high potential for zeolite mineral resources in altered tuffaceous sediments, a moderate resource potential for gold, silver, and mercury in epithermal-type precious-metal deposits, and a low potential for uranium, lithium, geothermal energy, oil, and gas resources. There is a low resource potential for zeolite in the southern part of the area. Presently, there are no mining districts, mines, current claims, gas or geothermal leases, or mineral resource production in the study area.-from Authors
