INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITY! Sand pit in operation at Lac-aux-Sables on a 1,342,454 sq ft industrial-zoned lot. The current by-law allows for the extraction of approximately 404,010 tons of sand. The quantified sector represents approximately 1/3 of the exploitable site, offering a potential of around 800,000 additional tons, for a total estimated capacity of 1.2 million tons. The sand also has potential for use in concrete after processing. Technical reports available.

Opportunity to acquire an operating sand pit located on lot 6 009 295, rang 4 Price, in Lac-aux-Sables, in the MRC of Mékinac. The property offers an area of 1,342,454 sq ft (124,718 m²) and is located in industrial zone 121Ib, allowing the current use as a sand pit.
According to the available technical reports, the volume of exploitable sand under the currently valid authorization certificate is estimated at 404,010 tons. The survey used for the calculation covers approximately one-third of the exploitable site, with a measured volume of 165,000 m³ calculated according to a bulk density of 2.45 t/m³.
The potential of the site is particularly interesting since the areas currently quantified represent only a part of the exploitable surface. According to the technical report, a request for exploitation could allow the extraction of approximately 800,000 additional tons, bringing the estimated total capacity to around 1.2 million tons.
Another important strategic advantage: the railroad is in immediate proximity to the property, and a possibility of direct access to the railroad could be considered, subject to the necessary checks and authorizations. This proximity represents a major asset for an operator, as rail access could allow for the transport of large volumes of materials and significantly reduce transportation costs, while also facilitating service to markets located at greater distances.
Grain size analyzes conducted by Englobe also made it possible to assess the potential of the sand for use in concrete. After sieving and granulometric recomposition, the average curve obtained fell within the granulometric tolerances required for concrete sand according to the CSA A23.1/A23.2 standard. Additional analyzes are required to confirm all the properties necessary for its full qualification.
The current operation is based on a ministerial authorization issued in the owner's name. Upon sale, a transfer of this authorization to the new purchaser must be carried out with the MELCCFP according to the applicable requirements.
A professional assessment conducted in October 2025, as well as a technical report on the exploitable volumes and the quality of the materials, are available for consultation.
A property offering an existing operation, a significant volume of available sand, considerable expansion potential, and a strategic location near the railroad network.
