Jun 29, 2017 (Therese Pettigrew) - During geological mapping done in 1955 for Georgia Lake Lithium Mines, eleven glacial erratics were identified, scattered over an area of 250 feet by 60 feet, about a mile east of the south end of Blay Lake and a mile south of the east end of Abner Lake. These erratics have been described by S. S. Szetu (1955) as follows: These erratics have sizes ranging from about 3 X 3 X 3 to 15 X 15 X 10 cubic feet, and appear not [to have been] carried by glaciers from a far distance. Trenches dug immediately north and northeast of the group [of boulders] did not uncover any pegmatite dike. The erratics have a similar appearance to the pegmatite of the showings at the property of Ontario Lithium Company Limited, the nearest of which is a little more than a mile to the northeast. No similar erratics have been found in between. In 1956, sixteen diamond-drillholes, aggregating 9,589 feet, were bored to investigate the ground near the boulders. These holes completed a section extending S17E from the east end of Abner Lake for about 4,000 feet. Two of the holes tested the ground about 1,500 feet northeast of the boulders, in a location where the erratics may have originated. The deposit was not located (Pye, 1964)
