Alan,

<<These mineral deposits are identified by USGS>>

The USGS did not identify mineral deposits unless they had exploration or production data. In other areas such as the Sauceda Mountains and the Sand Tank Mountains, they drew a circle around the area and gave it a number such as C-7 or M-6. The C is for Copper and the M is for Molybdenmum. In the text they explain that there is certain criteria necessary for drawing the circle. I am talking from memory now but some of the positive criteria were things like distance to producing copper mines, rock types found, geophysical data, etc. The negative criteria is the same stuff ie rock type found not associated with deposits of this nature, distance from producing mine etc. I could find no discussion related to any of the areas in either mountain range. In a summary table they simply list the criteria with an X. As I recall there were as many positive as negative apsects about these areas. No where did I see either of these areas described as deposits. They only talked about potential and there were many areas higher than these. If you want more detailed info, let me know and I will go back and look some more.
