| Summary | The Oquirrh and Wasatch Mountains lie at the eastern edge of the Basin and Range province in north-central Utah, an area that has had a long and complex deformational history, including two compressional events and two extensional events in the Mesozoic and Cenozoic, respectively. The ranges host three major mining districts largely containing pluton-related mineralization. The districts are aligned along the east-west trending Uinta-Cortez axis that is a manifestation of an Archean-Proterozoic suture. The axis is the fundamental control on pluton emplacement and related metallogeny. |
