10 miles East of Barraba, a large open pit excavation of serpentine rock containing asbestos minerals.
Located in the Parish of Woods Reef.
The former mine extended over an area of approximately 400 hectares. The site comprisd a 75 million tonne waste rock dump, a 25 million tonne tailings dump and a number of open pits, some containing considerable quantities of water.
In 2014, the NSW Government provided funding of $6.3 million to address the most significant health, safety and environmental issues at the Woodsreef Mine, including:
(i) the containment of processed friable chrysotile asbestos;
(ii) removal of the mill building, silos, and administration buildings;
(iii) implementation of a comprehensive air quality monitoring program; and (iv) health risk assessment before, during and following remediation works.
The mine buildings have been demolished and the mine road is also closed to the public due to the ongoing danger of asbestos.
