Capsule Geology

General references are made about asbestos mineralization in Geological Survey of Canada Summary Report 1925 Part A. Such a showing may be located near the Dudidontu River, where an ultramafic body is located northwest of Hatin Lake, 96 kilometres north of the community of Telegraph Creek (Geological Survey of Canada Open File 707).

The description from the report states "numerous small veins of asbestos are noted cutting serpentinite, but none exceeding 3 millimetres in length". The upper Mississippian-Permian ultramafic rocks are part of the Cache Creek Complex.
