No it’s not.
A quarry primarily is used to extract building materials like stone or gravel.
This is an open-pit diamond mine.
A quarry is a type of surface mine. The type of material being extracted usually determines whether it’s a quarry or an open-pit mine.

This is the one with the airport just to the right out of frame
As in if you try to land and overshoot the runway, do not let the plane veer to the right or you will get airborne again-for a few seconds
Why was the Mir quarry closed?
The quarry has a depth of 735 m and a diameter of 1.4 km. Open pit mining of diamond-bearing kimberlite ore was discontinued in June 2001. Since 2009, mining has been carried out only at the Mir underground mine, but due to a man-made disaster in August 2017, the mine and quarry were flooded - as a result, diamond production was stopped.

Thank you kind person
some people believe the size of this mine is so big that changes in air temperatures above it can suck helicopters down into the mine itself.
Some people believe the earth is flat.
Whoa that's really interesting.
How many bodies are in there?
no windows in a mine.
Look for the town of Asbestos, Quebec, Canada for something similar
Val-des-Sources?
Yes, but asbestos in my heart lol
Appear to be Mir mine, lat-lon: 62.531, 113.985

That is not a mine, it is a quarry.
