In the late 1970s, this area was the subject of serious exploration efforts by Gulf Mineral Resources, Pioneer Nuclear, Occidental Petroleum and Energy Reserves Group. A 2007 report prepared for Running Fox Resources by L. Halterman (Professional Geologist) notes that "Gulf Minerals drilled out a number of small to medium sized ore bodies totaling several million pounds of Uranium." His report also notes that "Gulf ceased exploration of this area ....when the price of Uranium collapsed in the early 1980s."
