Econom-ically recoverable quantities of copper, gold, molybdenum,nickel, silver, thorium, and vanadium occur with the ura-nium deposits in some provinces. Many major epochs of uranium mineralization occurredin North America.ISTRIBUTION OF URANIUM IN NORTH AMERICA The identification of uranium concentrated into geo-logic uranium deposits and the grouping of them into clus-ters to define uranium provinces illustrates the geographicand geologic distribution of uranium in North America (pls.1 and 2; figs. 1â3).
