Formerly: Galipeau quarry, Beauharnois Co., Québec, Canada

This three-level active quarry was opened by Sylvio Galipeau in 1970, and nows spans some 300 x 300 meters, as of 2012.

The following description was taken from the Deposit File of the MRNF (Ministère des ressources naturelles et de la faune) :

The dominant rock is a dolarenite of the Beauharnois Formation of the Beekmantown Group. A section exposed in the quarry consists of a medium to dark grey, fine-grained dolarenite , in beds of variable thickness. Thin interbeds of shale are present in the sequence.

This dolostone is brecciated, and interstitial spaces are occupied by a pyrite-sphalerite-galena mineralisation. Pyritous breccia similar to that of the quarry has been observed in shallow roadcuts North of the quarry.

Most mineral-bearing cavities occur in a strata some 4 feet from the surface of the quarry.
