Excerpt from Mineral Resources of the Big Frog Wilderness Study Area and Additions, Polk County, Tennessee and Fannin County, Georgia No metallic mineral resources are known within the proposed Big Frog Wilderness. Nonmetallic resources, including slate and phyllite, stone, and sand and gravel are pres ent locally but are not currently of value because similar resources exist closer to markets outside the study area; these deposits, therefore, would have only marginal use in the region. A possibility also exists for the presence of natural gas at great depths. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
