A Little Moab History - In early 1952 an unemployed Texas geologist named Charley Steen discovered one of the the mines in the World's largest concentrations of uranium ore near Moab, Utah. Steen became an instant millionaire and set off a modern day mining boom - His Mi Vida Mine is famous for sitting in the largest high-grade pitchblende (uranium) ore body ever discovered at that time in the United States, last valued at more than 160 Million (1953 dollars - about $1.6 Billion in 2007 fiatz-dollars)....
Charlie Steen's Mi Vida Uranium Mine; Mi Vida - this old uranium mine Lady started the whole uranium boom in the Moab area -
This discovery unleashed a massive "uranium boom" on the Colorado Plateau, and turned tiny Moab, UT into "the uranium capital of the world." The mine closed in the 1980s.
