The Groeve CBR (Lixhe) or Groeve van Loën (French: Carrière CBR or Carrière de Loën) is a quarry in the Belgian province of Liège in the municipalities of Bitsingen, Oupeye and Visé. The quarry at southwest of Loën and northwest of Hallembaye. The quarry was started as an opencast by the Cimenteries et Briqueteries Réunies (CBR) in the Hesbaye Plateau in the traditional slope of the valley of the Meuse. On the east side, the quarry is bordered by the N671 and the Meuse valley and to the south by the Groeve Kreco and the C.E.T. de Hallembaye.
With the reclamation of the quarry, the mountain slope Thier de Loën was excavated. About halfway through the quarry, the quarry is split into two parts by the Spoorlijn 24, which runs partly underground through tunnels. The limestone extracted is transported to the CBR Lixhe cement factory on the Albert Canal.
Just north of the quarry is the former Dierkx Groeve. About two kilometers to it is another CBR quarry, the Groeve Romontbos, which also supplies CBR Lixhe of limestone. Even further north is another former CBR quarry in the Netherlands, the ENCI quarry.
