Speer, J. Alexander. 1996. The Sims Pluton, Nash and Wilson counties. Bulletin 97. North Carolina Geological Survey: Raleigh. Price: $10.00
This report provides detailed information on the geology, major and trace element geochemistry, geophysics (gravity, magnetic, and radiometric), geochronology, and mineral resource potential of the Sims granitoid intrusive, Wilson County, North Carolina. This Alleghanian-age intrusive was prospected as a molybdenum porphyry by geochemistry and drilling. One phase of the Sims is being quarried for crushed stone now. A recently recognized greisen, along with intermixed granite, is a potential source of mica, feldspar, and quartz. The adjacent Eastern slate belt rocks have elevated copper concentrations. The report also includes information about radon concentrations in soil and groundwater related to the Sims granitoid intrusive.
(Note: Information Circular 30, by Robert H. Carpenter, James T. Tanner, Jr., Dianna J. Grotto, P.A. Carpenter, III, and J. Alexander Speer, presents field and laboratory beneficiation studies to evaluate the commercial muscovite potential of greisen associated with the Sims granitoid intrusive, Wilson County, North Carolina – see below.)
