Video – Limestone Headed from Colborne to Mississauga

In Local

Canada Steamship Lines Csl Tadoussac heads out onto Lake Ontario en-route to Toronto from Colborne on the evening of Monday, August 19, 2024.

in 2024, Ash Grove’s Ogden Point Quarry in Colborne is expected to mine two-million tonnes of limestone that will be used primarily for making cement.

The quarry averages approximately 12,000 to 13,000 tonnes per day. Once mined, the limestone is moved to a crusher than travels approximately two kilometres to a ship which takes 18,000 tonnes of the limestone to the cement plant in Mississauga.

From there it gets crushed and materialized into cement powder.
