Mar 30, 2022 (Therese Pettigrew) - The quarry is developed in quartz monzonite and granodiorite of the Feist Lake Pluton which is part of the Dryberry Batholith. The rock is light grey to pinkish grey biotite granite. It has a gneissosity due to biotite alignment but this varies about the quarry. There are numerous pink pegmatite dikes of variable orientation. The rock is extensively fractured due to blasting. Sheeting is about 0.5 m and is consistent the entire depth of the quarry (Storey, 1986).
