Created 17/10/2025

Updated 19/11/2025

The presence of asbestos at various places in the Harts Range has been reported from time to time, and, in recent months it was reported that the largest of these deposits consisted of Chrysotile. A brief examination of this deposit was made in October, 1944, and specimens of the asbestos then collected were specifically identified as anthophyllite. This report comprises notes on locality, geology, and mineral occurrence, and includes a locality and sketch plan.
