Abstract
Photograph taken at the Vanadium Corporation of America's uranium mine complex north of Marysvale, Utah, showing Rex Smith (engineer) and Joe Holland (attorney) standing in front of two trucks and piles of mine tailings. This mine complex included the Freedom, Prospector, and Bullion-Monarch mines. During the 1950s, the uranium extracted from the pitchblende deposits at these mines was sold to the Atomic Energy Commission stockpile at Marysvale, and the autunite ore was trucked to the Vanadium Corporation of America's processing plant in Colorado for metallurigal testing.
