Documents in our library name Chrysotile deposits at Beaconsfield, Tasmania as an asbestos mine.1 They report it working in 1900.1 Fiber: chrysotile. Where the documents differ, each is shown below with its source.
The documents report work here (mining, shafts or a mill) but no fiber sold or shipped; that is what our documents say, and the mine may still have sold some.1
You don't need the product names or old records. No fee unless we recover compensation for your family.
