Consolidated Midvale property, Tring Junction (Seigneurie St. Joseph, Paroisse St. Frederic), Beauce, Quebec

Asbestos, the industry's trade journal, reported in September 1975 that Consolidated Midvale Explorations Ltd. had drilled "1,003 lineal feet" in four holes at its "asbestos-bearing property at Tring Junction" in Beauce Township, Quebec, with "no indications of asbestos fiber content in Hole No. 1."¹ In December it added that the project "indicated several narrow zones of cross-fiber asbestos of good quality."² In 1976 the company held "five unpatented mining claims" there and was considering deeper drilling.³ In December 1977 its corporate secretary said "no further work has been done on the claims since 1975 and none is contemplated in the near future."⁴

The documents describe this as a deposit or prospect: they report exploration or describe the deposit, not mining for sale.²
