A visit was paid to the mine on March 14th, 1945, during a field season at Mount Bischoff. The purpose of the visit was to gain some general idea of the potential importance of the deposits as a source of asbestos fibre. The location and access, workings, geology, and the grade of orebodies are discussed in this report. An accompanying sketch plan of the deposit is included.
