Granite pegmatite. Brunswick pegmatite field. There is very little dump obviously associated with this quarry. There is a dump adjacent to the Swamp #1 Quarry which may represent minerals from the quarry. There is a minimal amount of debris from this quarry spread around the western margin of the quarry. Minerals are the same as the Swamp #1 Quarry as it cuts the same pegmatite. Very fine world-class uraninites have been found in this and the adjacent quarry, although the overwhelming majority of specimens have come from the Swamp #1 Quarry. Locality was discovered by Cliff Trebilcock, Jr. when he was 13 years old.
