The Schoorberg Quarry II is a marl quarry in the Dutch municipality of Eijsden-Margraten in South Limburg. The underground quarry is located southeast of Bemelen, southeast of the Mettenberg and west of 't Rooth. The quarry is located on the west side of the Margraten Plateau in the transition to the Maas Valley. The quarry is located in the area of Bemelerberg & Schiepersberg.
About 400 meters to the east is Groeve 't Rooth,
about 100 meters to the southwest is the entrance to the Roother quarry and the Schoorberg quarry I
and 250 meters to the west is Mettenberg quarry V with Kalkoven (lime kiln) De Valk.
The quarry was mined by block crushers for the extraction of limestone blocks.
The Schoorberg Quarry II is a medium-sized limestone quarry. The quarry has two entrances and the quarry system goes about 50 meters deep into the hill. One underground connection has been made from Schoorberg Quarry II to Schoorberg Quarry I.
The entrance to the quarry is closed with bars, so that bats can use the quarry as a roost.
The quarry is managed by Het Limburgs Landschap. The quarry was examined for safety and was condemned before 2015.
