Granite quarry with granite pegmatite veins.

The border between the municipalities of Mangualde and Penalva do Castelo runs through the quarry. However, since the company's depot lies entirely within the southeastern territory of Mangualde, the site should be assigned to this municipality and the town of Corvaceira.
