Geology
The quarry area is regionally situated near the contact of Paleozoic Sedimentary rocks of the Gull River Formation and the Proterozoic metamorphic rocks of the Canadian Shield. The Paleozoic Sedimentary rocks are composed of very fine-grained, light grey to brown limestone and greenish grey to tan weathering dolostone.
Rogue completed a total of 6 shallow diamond drill holes for a total of 38.7 metres, as part of its due diligence process on the property, to qualify the limestone units and bed thickness over the quarry license area as well as the overall thickness of the Gull River Formation. Based on the results of the 2019 drilling, Rogue gained comfort in the existence of marketable units continuing deeper in the limestone and was able to model out future production by product type.
LIMESTONE PRODUCTS - LANDSCAPE STONE
The Orillia Quarry generates a number of landscape products including Armour Stone, Steps and Flagstone. Each product has unique size characteristics that suit the particular use. Orillia Landscape Stone is distributed throughout Ontario and into the US.
Individual limestone beds range in thickness from less than 1" all the way up to 28". This provides Rogue Stone with a range of products from the Orillia Quarry used by builders, landscapers, homeowners and manufacturers that produce wallrock and cut material. Diamond drilling has helped to define the potentially expected products to be extracted from the Orillia Quarry below the current quarry floor and in currently undeveloped areas of the quarry.
Rogue has signed intent to purchase agreements with 8 large buyers with a geographic range from Windsor to Cornwall in Ontario into the US Midwest including Michigan and Wisconsin. Interest in Rogue's limestone products has extended to eastern Canada and into the US southeast.
