Aug 19, 2013 (A Wilson) - The Baltimore Lake Deformation Zone (BLDZ) is located in northwestern Stover Township where it is defined by by a 1.2 km wide, SE-trending zone of folding, transposition and shearing. The BLDZ can be traced fro approximately 6 km southeastward across Stover Township. The BLDZ is characterized by rootless isoclinal folds of bedding/schistosity, sinistral and dextral shear folds, transposition and ductile shear zones axial planar to the folds

Aug 19, 2013 (A Wilson) - The showing occurs as a flat outcrop of mafic metavolcanic rocks containing stringers of pyrite and veins of quartz and tourmaline. A rusty weathering zone of carbonate alteration in mafic metavolcanics occurs 150 m west of a northeast-trending haulage road. The mafic metavolcanics contain several stringers of pyrite about 1 inch wide parallel to the foliation. The zone is about 10 feet wide and can be traced for 20 feet. The discovery vein was described as being 30 feet wide and up to 65 feet in length. Numerous quartz stringers are reported. The vein stirkse N40E and has a vertical dip.
