MX Siting Investigation, Gravity Survey - Lake Valley, Nevada.

Abstract

Results of a gravity survey of the Lake Valley of East Central, Nevada, indicate that the valley is underlain by three blocks of grabens. The range of depths to carbonate bedrock along the valley axis is interpreted to be between 2000 to 8000 ft. Faults and lineaments in the alluvium indicate Quaternary movements of the northern block.
