AN ABANDONED asbestos mine in northern NSW could pose health problems to locals, according to the Asbestos Diseases Foundation of Australia.
The Foundation took samples containing between 30 to 60% of pure asbestos fibre.
ADFA representatives claim the mine is dangerous for locals and tourists in the area.
The NSW DPI says it was not aware the mine posed a threat, and claims the site is as stable as it can be. However, it will investigate the concerns.
