Dec 07, 2005 (A Wilson) - The Forge Lake Deformation Zone extends from the west side of Forge Lake to the McVeigh Creek Fault. The north limit of the deformation zone is approximately the north contact of the main sedimentary unit and within 100 m of this contact towards the north. the south limit is marked by the supracrustal-granite contact. The rocks within the FLDZ are variously sheared from moderate to intense with the penetrative foliation being approximately parallel to the primary bedding where this is preserved.
