Aggregate

There are two granular-aggregate deposit areas in Labrador West. One is located along the Quebec North Shore and Labrador Railway (QNS&L) at the Emeril railway siding near the exit to Labrador City with a deposit site of 80 million m3. The other is approximately 12km west of Labrador City with a deposit site of approximately 1 to 5 million m3. Both are glacial fluvial terrace deposits (Granular Aggregates in Newfoundland and Labrador, Department of Natural Resources).
