Impact statement needs to be read fully before spreading B.S fear statement.
Petrology report from samples intersected in earlier drilling identified fibrous Chrysotile in rock sequences intersected approximately 20m below the base of the graphite enriched horizon.
It appears the Chrysotile layer is 20m under the Graphite layer.
Mitigation in impact statement takesrisk to low.
IMHO.

	Four occurrences of chrysotile asbestos have been observed or recorded during the drilling of over 100 exploration drill holes. All but one occurrence was recorded below the ore body indicating a strong stratigraphic association which is constrained below the base of ore.	Regular surveillance of the ore mineralogy to identify the presence of fibrous minerals and ensure their disturbance is minimised Mined ore regularly checked for the presence of fibrous minerals Procedures developed for the secure disposal of asbestos-bearing materials Regular audits	Minimal - No impact expected
1	Four occurrences of chrysotile asbestos have been observed or recorded during the drilling of over 100 exploration drill holes. All but one occurrence was recorded below the ore body indicating a strong stratigraphic association which is constrained below the base of ore.	1. Petrology report from samples intersected in earlier drilling identified fibrous Chrysotile in rock sequences intersected approximately 20m below the base of the graphite enriched horizon. This proposed drilling will terminate holes before reaching this horizon hence avoiding this material. Therefore there will be no exposure of Chrysotile to staff or contractors. 2. In the event of intersecting Chrysolite, the hole will be terminated immediately, the rig shut down and washed and wiped clean and any sample collected will be sealed in a taped bag for disposal. 3. There will be no spreading of fibrous material during the transportation and disposal where PPE will be worn as described above.	Minimal - No impact expected
