A February 1984 Information Circular (No. 168) of the Economic Geology Research Unit, University of the Witwatersrand, by W. Buttner of the University of Cologne. It describes the geology, mineralogy and chemistry of the serpentinites at the Msauli chrysotile asbestos mine in South Africa's Barberton greenstone belt. It says mining began in 1942 and the mine produces some 90000 tons of fibre a year. The author concludes that economic cross-fibre chrysotile is concentrated in the ore zone serpentinite, in fractures linked to the Northern Porphyry intrusion.
