Starting at bed #6, the extent of the exploitable zone gets bigger on the whole surface of the property, 500 m x 1000 m for exploiting and as much for the infrastructure.

Quarry Location:
La Baie (Québec) CANADA

The quarry measures nearly 25 acres, possesses clear titles and is protected by the agreement signed on May 12, 1995. The color is distributed in onion skin layers on the mountain, with orange gradually turning towards brown on the periphery, as we get farther from the periphery towards the center and the depth. In bed #5, the orange has almost disappeared and we have only 2 colors (medium and medium +). The crystal is very gross. The surrounding environment offers all the services required including a shipping port at Grande Anse, 18 km from the quarry.
