This report provides information for use in both short- and long term land-planning decisions, particularly at the county level, and an indication of the present and future economic impact of mineral and energy development. The report discusses eight major commodity groups: (1) oil and gas, (2) coal and coal resin, (3) coal-bed methane, (4) other energy resources (oil-impregnated rock, oil shale, geothermal), (5) uranium and vanadium, (6) metallic minerals, (7) industrial rocks and minerals, and (8) ground-water resources. In general, for each group or commodity within a group the following aspects are discussed: (1) known occurrences and characteristics, (2) past production and trends, (3) current production and exploration activity, and (4) geologic potential. Plates accompany each of the major commodity groups and show the locations of known resources and areas of geologic potential. In addition to the commodity discussions, the report contains a brief summary of land ownership status and concludes with a summary of commodities having the best potential for discovery and development. 161 pages + 14 plates

A re-evaluation of the underground minable coal resources in the Muley Canyon sandstone member of the Mancos shale in the Henry Mountains coalfield which includes previously uncalcualted land-use and technical restrictions to the minable coal resource are included. The Henry Mountains contains 875 million tons of potentially minable coal. This 19 page report differs from previous evaluations in that it includes additional coal-bed thickness observations and accounts for common restrictions to the minable coal resource.
