Documents in our library name Weltevreden mine at South Africa as an asbestos mine, run by The Cape Asbestos Company Limited. Fiber: amosite.1
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.
