An OSHA memorandum dated 10 February 1977 told regional and area offices that an enclosed report had found asbestos fibers in vermiculite ore samples. It directed that future inspections of vermiculite exfoliation processing include an evaluation of employee exposure to asbestos fibers. The enclosure is a preliminary research abstract with electron micrographs reporting tremolite and chrysotile in ore from a Montana mine.
