An addition to the dry rock storage building was completed, more than doubling its

capacity, which is now 115,000 tons.

During the fiscal year, the tramline, summer bunkhouses, hospital and a new mine
dry were completed. Work was started on the construction of seven new Pan-Abode staf

dwellings.

Two wagon drills, 650 cubic feet of compressor capacity, a new 25” x 36” crusher.

two ID-24 tractors and a maintenance garage were provided for the mine.

Survey work on the possible power site was continued, and a preliminary report is

expected early in 1957.

Sales
The demand and price for crude, asbestos cement pipe and shingle fibres have been
steady throughout the year, and at the year end, fibre awaiting shipment to customers was

at a normal level. The outlook for all grades is encouraging.

have given management throughout the year, and to acknowledge the loyal and efficient
