Limestone was produced from several quarries located on Lot 9, just southeast of Blubber Bay on the north end of Texada Island.

The Fogh property is situated on the north end of a 13 kilometre long belt of Upper Triassic Vancouver Group, Quatsino Formation limestone up tp 3 kilometres wide that is preserved along the axis of a broad northwest plunging syncline. In the western portion of the property the limestone is gently folded. This deformation becomes more intense and complex to the east. Bedding in a quarry northeast of the Paris mine (092F 266) strikes 178 degrees and dips 35 to 90 degrees east. West trending dykes commonly cut the limestone. A few small stocks of diorite-gabbro have intruded the limestone in the vicinity of the Paris mine.

The limestone is fine-grained, dark bluish-grey to black and high calcium in composition to the west. To the east, fine to medium- grained, cream to light brown magnesian limestone forms a northwest trending band crossing the northeastern portion of Lot 9. Three chip samples taken in succession across 91 metres of magnesian limestone averaged 40.97 per cent CaO, 12.57 per cent MgO, 0.75 per cent insolubles, 0.65 per cent R2O3, 0.50 per cent Fe2O3, 0.109 per cent MnO, 0.013 per cent P2O5, 0.07 per cent sulphur and 44.67 per cent ignition loss (Bulletin 40, page 67). A sample of white, high calcium limestone west of the band of magnesian limestone, contained 54.23 per cent CaO, 0.83 per cent MgO, 0.50 per cent SiO2, 0.08 per cent Al2O3, 0.11 per cent Fe2O3 and nil sulphur (CANMET Report 811, page 157 - Sample 10B).

Limestone was produced from several small quarries on the northern portion of Lot 9, the largest located just northeast of the Paris mine in the northeast corner of Lot 9. In 1929, Western Lime Producers Company Inc. quarried 962 tonnes. The property was then leased to Petrie Limes Products, which quarried 7394 tonnes of limestone in 1931.
