The Limestone Mine

The mine has proven reserves in excess of 280 million tons and an estimated mine life over 100 years. The high quality limestone reserves are utilized in the road construction industry (FDOT certified road base), as commercial aggregates (component of concrete) and high-grade calcium limerock for power plant, flue gas desulfurization.

The hardness and quality of the limestone is unique for Ocala Limestone, which is typically known as a soft and porous (friable) limestone. The Hawthorne Formation that contains the fuller’s earth clay reserves utilized for production of cat litter and overlies the Ocala Limestone has protected the rock from post-depositional erosion at this distinctive locale.
