Mission

• Contribute to the defence, to putting forward and to promoting the safe use of chrysotile.
• Rehabilitate chrysotile in order to support and increase production from the mines and the use of chrysotile based products.
• Make sure of the putting in place of policy of safe and increased use of chrysotile.

The public generally makes no distinction between the various asbestos types, contributing thereby to the poor reputation of chrysotile. Chrysotile asbestos, when used safely, presents no significant problems for human health.

The exploitation of this mineral creates 1000 direct jobs in the producing regions of Thetford mines and Asbestos as well as several hundred indirect jobs.
