A huge limestone quarry (~2 x 1 km), formerly owned by Miron Co., Ltd. and close to the old Francon quarry. Miron Quarry closed in the late seventies and has been used by the city of Montreal for land fill. Now the quarry is full and it will be landscaped into a park. The limestone is intersected by numerous igneous dykes and sills. The mineralogy of these igneous bodies is not well studied because no collecting was allowed during the operation of the quarry.
