Additional Information

The Lafarge Presque Isle Quarry, located in Presque Isle Michigan, is a Metallurgical grade limestone quarry that has been in operation since 1954. The quarry mines limestone deposited during the Middle Devonian Era, specifically in the Rogers City and Dundee formations. The exposed Dundee formation is of special interest, due to the rare nature of occurrence at the surface. The Rogers City and Dundee limestone are blended to meet the high quality expectations of our metallurgical customers.
