Asbestos Corporation, Ltd., Quebec

This entry gathers what the sources say about Asbestos Corporation, Ltd. as a company, not about any one of its mines: the U.S. Bureau of Mines' Minerals Yearbook names the firm among the asbestos producers of Quebec without saying where it mined.^1,2 The yearbook for 1943 lists it first among the "other producers" in the Quebec area, and the yearbook for 1951 among "the following companies" operating there.^1,2 For 1952 the yearbook listed Canada's asbestos producers "in order of size of output," with Canadian Johns-Manville Corp., Ltd. first and Asbestos Corp., Ltd. second.³ It appears again among the companies that "produced asbestos in Quebec in 1953."⁴ In its report for 1963, as Asbestos, the industry's trade journal, printed it, the company said that "in the face of the prevailing market situation, all mines operated at less than capacity throughout the year and overall fibre production was off about 14%."⁵

The documents report this mine producing asbestos fiber for sale.⁴
