Feb 27, 2017 (A Wilson) - Geographical Zone A covers the area on the Bruce Peninsula south and east of the town of Wiarton. Scattered outcrops of thin-bedded, fine- to very fine-crystalline dolostone occur in a broad region west and northwest of the Cruickshank Owen Sound Ledgerock's Quarry and suggest that this whole stippled area may be underlain by at least some Eramosa Member strata (indicated by light stipple on map). This interpretation is supported by the lack of fossiliferous Guelph Formation outcrops in the area. Another area possibly underlain by Eramosa Member strata occurs south of Wiarton in a belt between Mountain Lake and Boat Lake, north of Clavering. In this belt there is an area of high potential resource which includes the McCartney Quarry and an outcrop of the Interbedded Unit one kilometre to the east of this quarry. The northern boundary of this area is a covered erosional edge. Guelph Formation bioherms occur southeast of the McCartney Quarry, in the area of Mountain and Francis Lakes.

Feb 27, 2017 (A Wilson) - The possible reserves (from the darkly stippled areas), for this unit on the Bruce Peninsula are estimated to be 20 x 108 m3.
