Lithology Comments

Apr 14, 2011 (A Wilson) - Eardley-Wilmot (DEMR) reported that the diatomite was of a good grade near the top of the deposit, but that there was only a limited amount, about 200 tons, of the better grade being found at depths between 6 inches and 2 ½ feet. The deposit was thicker in the centre, where a depth of 17 feet was reached, but the lower part was not the highest grade material.
