The mineral deposits of the Coyote district are confined
to lenticular beds of gray, brown, black, or pink sedimentary rocks
in the lower 2,000 feet of the Sangre de Gristo formation. Copper and
uranium minerals have not been found in the red, chocolate, or maroon
rocks that make up most of the formation.
The ore minerals are sparsely distributed, and individual deposits
are small. Copper deposits typically contain negligible amounts of
uranium, and the uranium deposits contain small but variable amounts
of copper.
