Highest recorded amount of bromide content is 2 786 mg/L from this wildcat well in the Beaverhill Lake Formation of southern Alberta. Alberta formation water are all far below the 5 000 mg/L of the now dominant sources in Arkansas and the Dead Sea. Unlikely that any of the Alberta formation waters discovered so far would be an economic source of bromide, although the recovery of bromide together with, say, calcium and magnesium, might prove economically viable.	-9999	-9999	Alberta Geological Survey

As the base of the formation is 183 m above the valley floor, and the strata are roughly parallel to the topographic contours, this is an unfavourable quarrying site.	-9999	-9999	Alberta Geological Survey

Along this spur the strata follow the topographic contours and dip into the mountain side. . The base of the formation is 183 m above the valley floor. This fact, along with the orientation of the strata, represents an unfavourable quarrying situation.	-9999	-9999	Alberta Geological Survey

Quarriable reserves in this zone are estimated to be 2.7 million tonnes of 94% CaCO3, or, excluding the low-grade horizon, 2.4 million tonnes of 98% CaCO3 limestone.	-9999	-9999	Alberta Geological Survey

083A 0061	Salt extraction	Large	-9999	Good	The deposit comprises two distinct salt units separated by a massive anhydrite bed 7 to 20 m thick. Lower unit(<45 m thick) and more extensive than upper unit (20 m thick). Both are intercalated with anhydrite interbeds form up to 50% of the successions. Stettler Salt thins depositionally from its maximum net salt thickness of more than 40 m, but the distribution is modified by salt solution effects which give the deposit its irregular shape. The depth ranges from about 1250 to 1600 m. As the deposit lies largely outside the limits of Elk Point salts, it may have potential for salt extraction in this specific area. No potential exists for underground storage use.	Concern to its potential development is brinability, constrained by many anhydrite interbeds in the succession, most of them >2 m thick. Individual halite beds are rarely more than 5 m thick. Maximum brinable salt thickness rarely exceeds 10 m.	-9999	Alberta Geological Survey
