A showing known locally as the Bloor mine is located in lot 9, concession XII, approximately half a mile north and northwest of the road corner at the boundary line between lots 8 and 9, concession XI, Christie township. There are three openings from south to north: (1) a trench 25 by 4 feet and 6 feet deep, now largely caved in; (2) a pit or shaft 10 by 10 feet filled with water; (3) a pit 10 by 16 feet, with water in the deeper west half of the pit.
The country rock is a dark-green hornblende gneiss containing irregular,
lenticular bands of red garnet rock, such as seen in Lount township. The pits
expose a coarse-grained (one-half inch) greenish crystalline limestone, containing bands of red garnet rock, and a hornblende-garnet-carbonate-quartz-feldspar rock. In the latter a few small clusters or flakes of molybdenite were found. This occurrence is of no economic importance.
