The mine is posted and on private property.

In crystalline limestone.
"The deposit was worked for calcite between 1971 and 1975 by Burcall Industrial Minerals Limited. The calcite was mined from an open-pit measuring 60 m by 8 m and 10 m deep. The calcite was processed in the company's plant in Burk's Falls."
