Dec 07, 2005 (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 planr to the folds.

Aug 19, 2013 (A Wilson) - Diamond drill logs indicate that the showing is hosted by a sequence of sheared intermediate to mafic metavolcanics and metasedimetnary units. The metavolcanic rocks are frequently described as being chloritized and silicified. Narrow gabbro or diabase dikes up to 3 feet also were observed in drill core.
