The Glenogle Slate quarry was worked at around the turn of the century and is located across the Kicking Horse River from Glenogle, on the main line of the Canadian Pacific Railway, about 10.5 kilometres east of Golden. The quarry was reportedly abandoned due to the hardness of the slate and the presence of pyrite.

The Glenogle area is underlain by shale, argillaceous limestone, siltstone and sandstone of the Ordovician Glenogle Formation. To the west is quartz sandstone of the Middle and/or Upper Ordovician Mount Wilson Formation.

The slates, covered with 1 to 1.5 metres of gravel, are exposed near the river for a distance of about 100 metres and a height of 5 metres. The slate strikes 010 to 040 degrees and dips 60 degrees north. The jointing in the slates strike 190 to 210 degrees with a steep, variable dip to the southeast. The pronounced cleavage strike at 020 degrees and the quarry face appears intensely fractured.

A description of severely weathered and water-soaked material from the quarry face follows: "the slate is of dark blue-grey colour, irregular cleavage and dull "ring". The cleavage is not deficient but the planes are rough and irregular for the most part" (CANMET Report 452). No production figures are available.

In 2017, 92 Resources Corp. completed a rock sampling program on the property. A total of 60 metallurgical and 53 frac sand samples were taken from three locations on the property containing the occurrence. Highlighted results included zones of 99 to 99.5 percent silica content (Lindinger, L. (2018-03-28): Technical Report of Exploration Activities on the Zim Frac-Wil Property).
