About this book

Geological Report on Asbestos and its Indications, in the Province of Quebec, Canada is a comprehensive scientific work authored by T. Sterry Hunt and published in 1876 under the auspices of the Geological Survey of Canada. This detailed report explores the occurrence, geological context, and economic potential of asbestos deposits within Quebec, providing an in-depth analysis of the mineral's distribution, characteristics, and associated rock formations. Drawing on extensive fieldwork and mineralogical studies, Hunt meticulously documents the locations where asbestos was found, describes the geological structures and rock types hosting the mineral, and discusses the processes that led to its formation. The book delves into the physical and chemical properties of asbestos, its various forms, and the methods used for its identification and extraction. It also examines the broader geological setting of Quebec, offering insights into the region's stratigraphy, lithology, and tectonic history as they relate to asbestos occurrences. Hunt's observations are supplemented by detailed maps, cross-sections, and tables, making the report a valuable resource for geologists, mining engineers, and industrialists interested in the economic exploitation of asbestos. In addition to its scientific content, the report addresses the practical aspects of asbestos mining, including the quality and quantity of available deposits, extraction techniques, and potential uses of asbestos in industry. It highlights the significance of asbestos as a valuable mineral resource for Quebec and provides recommendations for further exploration and development. Rich in empirical data and geological interpretation, Geological Report on Asbestos and its Indications, in the Province of Quebec, Canada stands as a foundational text in the study of asbestos geology and the history of mineral exploration in Canada.
