The cost of the diversion, which is estimated to be around C$200,000, will be met from existing cash resources and work will take up to two months to complete.
Managing director William Voaden said: "This development is a great boost to Quadling. It provides access to some of the quarry's best quality reserves whilst minimising processing costs.
"Work has commenced and we anticipate the results will yield financial benefits in 2012."
