Jeffrey Mine (Johns-Manville Mine), Asbestos, Les Sources RCM, Estrie, Québec, Canada
Latitude: 45°46'11"N
Longitude: 71°57'0"W
Longitude: 71°57'0"W
Formerly: Jeffrey Mine (Johns-Manville Mine), Asbestos, Shipton Township, Richmond Co., Québec, Canada. "Jeffrey quarry" in earlier locality strings has no trace in the literature and should not be propagated.
A huge open pit asbestos mine in ultrabasic, serpenitized rocks. For many years owned and operated by Canadian Johns-Manville Co., Ltd., it is now owned by a local consortium. The mine has been mostly inactive since 2008 and the lower levels are filling with water (2012).
