Subject category Comment text
General Combined two records for old MAS 0560070385 and 0560070386.
Deposit Two narrow ANTHOPHYLLITE ASBESTOS veins occur IN AMPHIBOLITE SCHIST. The veins vary from 2 inches to 1.6 feet in width and are intermittently exposed in several prospect pits along and east-west strike parallel to a regional foliation of verical dip. The asbestos occurs mainly as mass fibers and some soft and brittle cross fibers up to 2.5 inches long.
