Apr 04, 2011 (A Wilson) - The average depth of overburden was between 1 and 4 feet and most holes stopped in silt at 20 to 25 feet. The deposit occurs on the north and west sides of Duck Lake on Hodge's farm.
Apr 04, 2011 (A Wilson) - The deposit is described as diatomaceous peat. The proportion of grit appears to increase with depth, but the best material occurs from 1 to 3 feet below the surface. An analysis of the calcined mud completed by Eardley-Wilmot in 1928 returned 74.70% SiO2 and 14.50% Al2O3.
