WATSONVILLE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Granite (NYSE:GVA) announced today that it has completed the acquisition of Coast Mountain Resources (2020) Ltd., a construction aggregate producer based in British Columbia, Canada on Malahat First Nation land. Coast Mountain Resources operates the Bamberton Quarry on Vancouver Island, which is strategically located on the deep water of the Saanich Inlet. Granite has been a customer of the quarry due to its high-quality aggregate and strategic proximity to our home markets.
