GRADE AND TONNAGE MODEL OF SERPENTINE-HOSTED ASBESTOS

By Greta J. Orris

COMMENTS Long and short fibers are combined. Some literature did not specify if reported production was tons of fiber or tons of ore. In these cases, production was assumed to be tons of ore which may have led to underestimation of some deposit tonnages. See Figs. 27, 28.
