It follows a 40-metre wide band of lightly jointed porphyritic granite for approximately 130 metres. The stone at the Beaverdell Granite quarry consists of pink, coarse grained (greater than 5 millimetres) porphyritic granite with phenocrysts of pink orthoclase feldspar up to 3.5 by 6 centimetres. Other minerals include plagioclase, quartz, biotite and minor hornblende. </B></div> <div> <B>The average modal composition of the quarriable (QR or Cascade Coral) unit is 15 per cent quartz, 55 per cent orthoclase, 20 per cent plagioclase and 10 per cent biotite and hornblende. </B></div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <B><IMG SRC="1045f5d00.jpg" border=0 width="245" height="208" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">  <IMG SRC="1049ead00.jpg" border=0 width="234" height="208" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">  </B></div> <bR> <div> <B>The quarry measures approximately 40 metres long by about 12 metres high at its face with large potential reserves extending north of the site.</B></div> <div> <B>The quarry was operated from the 1960s up to about 1987 by Canroc International Corporation. The company shipped the stone to its processing plant in Delta to produce monument stone, flooring tile and facing stone for interior and exterior uses.
