FILE NAME: Talc (TALC) DATE: 0000 DOC#: TALC127 DOCUMENT DESCRIPTION: Collection of Talc Documents from Johns Manville DECLARATION OF MARGARET J. BAUMGARDNER I, Margaret J. Baumgardner, declare: 1. Iam not a party to this action, I have personal knowledge of the facts set forth in this declaration, and if called as a witness, I could and would competently testify as to the truth of the matters set forth herein. 2. I am the Research Coordinator for the Claims Resolution Management Corporation ("CRMC"), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Manville Personal Injury Settlement Trust ("Trust"). The CRMC was created in December 1998 and is staffed by former Trust employees. On January 1, 1999, CRMC began providing claims resolution facility services to the Trust. 3. In this position, I manage the Asbestos Claims Research Facility ("Facility"), a document and records repository located at 3390 Peoria Street, Suite 304, Aurora, Colorado. I am also the designated Records Custodian for the Facility. The Facility contains the business records including but not limited to correspondence, memoranda, reports, records and data compilations ("record") of Manville Corporation or related entities ("Manville"), generally, as well as Manville records relevant to litigation of asbestos liability. The records found at the Facility were transferred from Manville to the Trust beginning in November 28, 1988, the date on which the Manville bankruptcy plan was consummated. Additional records have been and continue to be transferred directly to the Facility. The Facility's records have been in the custody and control of counsel for the Trust or Trust personnel since the date of consummation. 4. My experience and familiarity with the documents at the Facility began in 1983 while working for Manville. In my work as a paralegal for Manville, I assisted in locating, indexing and packing many of the records which became the foundation documents for the Facility. I continued to work for Manville until September 1987. From March 1988 to September 1988, I was hired to supervise and assist in the indexing of the first 20,000 boxes which were turned over to the Trust in November 1988. From September 1988 to January 1989, I assisted in the privilege review of documents to be given to the Trust. From November 1988 to April 1994,1worked for Freeborn & Peters and was put in charge of the Facility, managing all productions and "new" acquisitions. Declaration of Margaret J. Baumgardner Page 1 In September 1995,1was hired by the Trust to manage the Facility. In December 1998,1 was hired by the CRMC to manage the Facility for the Trust. Accordingly, I am personally familiar with many of the records stored at the Facility, as well as how the records have been gathered. 5. lo the best of my knowledge, information and belief, I certify that these records were made at or near the time by, or from information transmitted by, a person with knowledge, were kept in the course of the regularly conducted business activity of Manville, and it was the regular practice and the business activity of Manville to make the records. 6. Attached are documents found among the microfilm collections at the Facility. These documents, bates labeled CRMC-LLF-Pfizer-Micro-000001 through CRMC-LLF-Pfizer-Micro-000093 are true and correct copies of documents found at the Facility. I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the State of California and the State of Colorado that the foregoing is true and correct.

Because o f Pfizer's position as a supplier of talr to many industries, a reliable method of detecting and identifying asbestos and asbestiform minerals pos sibly present in the talc had to be developed. Ideally the lerhnique should be simple and direct but above all it must be positive and unambiguous. ' T a lc is a naturally occuring hydrous magnesium silicate having a general formula o f Mg* ( S i * 0 , ,, ) . 2 Mg (O H ),. T h e mineral, talc, is felt to be formed by the hydro thermal alteration o f serpentine and tremolite. Talc can he derived from minerals containing various amounts of tremolile. Mg, ( C a , S i , , 0 ,, ) . Mg ( O H ) ,, chlorite, Mg* fS iH0 , n ).H Mg ( O i l ) , . rhrysotile Mg* ( S i , 0 , 0) . 8Mg ( O H ) ,, and a group o f rhrysotile-like minerals called aiupliiliolr-s or Hihosllfortn minerals. C h ief among these asbestiform minerals are anlhophyllite, (M g,Fc` ' ) 7 ( O il) ,, amosite, (M g.Ke"), S i * 0 ,, (O il),, crocidolite, N a ,F e " 3 F e " , { S i * 0 , , ) (O H ), and actino lite. C a , (M g,Fe" )s S i ,, 0 ,, (O H ),. From the above chemical formulas one can get an ap preciation for (he interrelatedness o f talc and the asbes tos type minerals, particularly when one considers that the degree o f replaeemont of one clement for another is seldom in exact proportion Although talc itself has not been shown In induce the irreversible health problems (7). ils chemical near neighbors have (8), The exart causes of the undesirable reactions of the human body when exposed to asbestiform minerals is not entirely clear at the time of this writing but it is felt to be some how linked to the fiberous nature of the asbestos-like minerals. Currently available methods and methodology for detec ting asbestos, tremolite and the asbestiform minerals In the presence of talc were reviewed. The three most likely candidates were: 1. Light microscopy 2. X-ray diffraction 3. Transmission electron microscopy Samples of " pure" talc and tremolite were obtained from various deposits owned by Pfizer Inc. Samples of pure and carefully characterized asbestos minerals were obtained from the International Union Against Cancer, (U .I.C.C .), Pneumoconiosis Research Unit, Llandough Hospital, Penarth, Glamorgan, United Kingdom. The talcs and asbestiform minerals were examined in the pure nr a-received state, their characteristics noted and mixtures made to determine if detection of asbestiform minerals was possible at low levels and, if so, what the minimum detection levels might be. EXPERIMENTAL X-ray diffraction patterns were obtained for aH the minerals and mixtures used in this study employing the conventional technique o f scanning at rates o f 0.5 to 1.0 degrees 2 theta per minute. The samples were then subjected to scrutiny by optical and electron micros copy.

While massive fiber bundles can often be Observed by either light or electron microscopy, the observation of individual fibers smaller than ft 5 x 0.02 micrometers requires Ihe high resolution capability of the transmi moi, electron microscope. In addition, the limit or detection is eon founded by the presence of talc " fibers" formed when a thin tale plate curls up at the edgp and r!;-, up ,,to a cylindrical morphology. The lower limit of positive fiber detection and identification by this technique and under these conditions is fell to be loo high to be of commercial value. shows Pfizer s Montana talc exhibiting k s typical platv character and total lack o f tremolile o r asbestiform mineral. Figure 7 show , a commercial talc TM a t o approximately 1% chrysolite which was obscurcd from detection by X*fay diffraction because o f the presence of chlorite. Selected area electron diffraction was used in conjunc tion with Ihe examination of morphology. Using this method one single crystal or particle can be selected and analyzed. Single particles usually yielded spot patterns but If a group or bundle o f fibers was found and would transmit electrons, a pnlycrystatline ring type pattern would result. ELEC T R O N M ICROSCOPY My virtue of its ability to examine individual particles in minute detail and at very high magnifications, the transmission electron microscope has been found by us to provide (he technique, ancillary to X-ray diffraction, that is needed to complete the unambiguous detection and identifieatjon o f asbestiform minerals. The mor phology of the ashesliform minerals and tremolile is generally described as acicular or fibrous. This irnIiu dialely serves to isolate them in the platv talc matrix even m the presenre of chlorite, since the chlorite morphology closely resembles Inat of talc. If the sample made mo a specimen for the transmission electron microscope is or can be made homogeneous and a careful examination o f approximately 100 different fields of view fails to reveal any fiberous material, then tlial talc is fell lo be free of tremolile, chrysolite and the ashesliform minerals. T he lower detection limit of this technique is diffic ult of access since one is often dealing with individual crystals However, a typical field of view o f a talc which was originally asbestos-free but now contained a 1% fable 2 lists the principle electron diffraction maxima to t talc, tremolile and the asbestiforms. In almost all cases many more spots or rings were observed than are reported here, fn Table 2, only (he strangest lines which are most likely to be observed have been tabulated. -Selected area electron diffraction was also used to prove that the pseudo fibers o f talc caused by plafeedge curling were actually talc and not tremolile o r an asbestiform mineral. A comparison o f the selected area electron diffraction pattern o f thrsc pseudo fibers to lhat of the talc platlcts showed lhat the identical compound, talc, was the only species present. ' CONCLUSIONS Ih e present work has shown that properly prepared samples of talc can be step-scanned by an X-ray diffractometer to delect tremolile at levels down to 0.25% and asbestiform minerals at the 0.5% level m the absence of chlorite. In the presence o f chlorite and at concentration levels lower than those staled above, the transmission electron microscope was found to provide reliable detection and identification o f tremolile and asbestiform minerals. T h e transmission electron micro scope is the most sensitive method and appears tn be a more or less referee technique since when morphology observations arc coupled with selected area electron diffraction studies, there are no known interferences. Light microscopy was helpful only in screening samples with large particles and high concentrations o f objection able fibers. '> 1* T Moipholoqy obwvahon by lrantni10f>-teetron microscopy. Using the above techniques we have been able to screen large numbers of talc specimens. We have found Pfizer Inc. s Montana talc to be free of tremolile and Ihe asbestiform minerals. We have found same other com mercial talcs which contain tremolite and/or asbestiform minerals at low levels of concentration, (1% or less).

Talc is a naturally occurring hydrous magnesium silicate and you hare been given the fomula, from various and sundry people this morning and this afternoon; and i. derived from minerals containing various amount, of tremolite. chlorite, ahrysotile and a group of chrysotlle-lihe min.TMis called ..phibole. or asbestifor. minerals. Chief among these are anthophyllite, . amosite, crocidolite and actinolite. From their chemical formulas, which you can find i,, the reference, you can see the close chemical similarity between talc and these asbestos type minerals. It become, particularly difficult to analyse for these when one consider, that the degree of replacement of one ion for another 1, seldom in exact proportion.

For chrysot.le and other asbestiform minerals the minimum detectable level by this method is 0.5* but this can only be achieved in the absence of chlorite.

Figure 3 in the calibration plot that e obtained for chrysotile. Therefore, we can put a pretty good handle on the percent esbestos or tremollte or esbestiform mineral that we are going to find. Figure h is the calibrntion curve obtained for tremolite. So you can sec that it is a fairly sessltive technique and easily performed. Tnble 2 shows the selected m e a electron diffraction maxima trtc, tremolite, ehr,cotilo, mo.it., unthophymte. We nse these for the positive identification of those minerals. Transmission electron microscopy la employed in this need to be unambiguous about our analysis. We want to knov for sure what we are looking at. The electron microscope has the ability to single out individual particles and by virtue of selected area electron diffraction, we can derive the same type of data as an X-ray diffraction unit except we are quite a bit more sensitive here. By virtue of its ability to examine these individual fibers and particles at very high magnification, the transmission electron microscope has been found by us to provide the technique ancillary to X-ray diffraction that is needed to complete the unambiguous detection of the identification of asbestiform minerals. The morphology of the asbestiform minerals and tremolite is generally described as acicular or fibrous. This immediately serves to isolate it from the platy talc matrix even in the presence of chlorite since chlorite, fortunately closely resembles the morphology of talc. The chlorite is platy; the talc is platy so that eliminates immediately the problem of detecting fibers since the investigator disregards all platy particles and looks only for fibers. Now if a careful examination of approximately 100 different fields of view fails to reveal any fibrous material, then we feel that talc is free of tremolite, chrysotile and the asbestiform minerals. The problem of particle curling was mentioned earlier. One of the uses for selected area electron diffraction is to diffract from curled up plates. You can tell that the diffraction pattern is no different from that of the plate from which this material starts to curl. With the transmission electron microscope, you are * ~ j CRMC-LLF-Pfizer-Micro-000013 w w f f p w -- g W M ^.W P 'I[m m m m m r n ........................................... . . . . 9 ? i- i r.-'E - looking right Into the particle, you ee it iipd ^pja you diffract from the pseudo fiber of curled up tolc and you find that its pattern is identical to that of the main talc body. Therefore, there is no difference mineralogically between the two. The talc pseudo fiber can Just as likely unroll as it can roll up. How at first we had a little problem with our talcs because when we used the Montana materia}, we couldn't find any fibers, we couldn't find any chrysotile, we couldn't find any tremolite, we couldn't find anything but a small bit of chlorite. This prompted us to spike some samples and we did this by adding a weighed amount of chrysotile asbestos in one case for example to a weighed amount of our talc and we were able to construct calibration curves similar to the type that we used in the X-ray diffraction work and ve found for example that with 1% addition of chrysotile asbestos to the Montana talc, we would find on the average in the 100 fields of view, 6 fibers with a standard deviation of approximately 1-1/2 fibers and it also followed a Guasian distribution which made us feel a good deal better about the homogeneity of the sample. These samples were prepared by slurrying the dry powders in a Waring blender with isoprophyl or ethyl alcohol for five minutes and then allowing them to dry and then Just simply crumbling them up. We also used 0.1/t and 0.555 asbestos and up to 5%. Figure 6 is a typical example of Montana talc. The micron marker is 1 micron and these are all platy materials. There have been no fibers identified in thin material. Figure 5 shows a typicnl example when you spike the sample with i f chrysotile asbestos. Fibers are readily observed. I call your attention to the thinness CRMC-LLF-Pfizer-Micro-000014 fibers - i M w m i e m m M m m m m m n w n . i n sample of naturally occurring talc with a naturally occurring chrysotile asbestos contaminant, the chrysotile running at an approximate 1*5 angle. These fibers will become Individualized. They are pretty much individualized right there and they are also very thin. We also tried light microscopy since the optical microscope has for many years been used to identify mineral species and one of the things 1 ( we turned to was dispersion staining since that has been successfully applied to the identification of asbestiform fibers. There has been a a great deal of work done on it and asbestiform minerals are in fact V readily distinguishable from one another. The difficulty in applying bI this to the problem at hand is that while it works well on pure samples i of fairly massive fiber length from 3 to 5 microns, our observations L' by transmission electron microscopy have shown that naturally occurring asbestiform minerals often lie below the working resolution capabilities of the light microscope and furthermore while massive fiber bundles can often be observed by either light or electron microscopy the observation of individual fibers smaller than 0.5 by 0.2 micrometers often will require the high resolution capability of the transmission electron microscope. In addition, the limit of detection is confounded by the presence of t . talc fibers which are the thin talc plates curled up at the edge. Talc plates sitting on an edge also give difficulty. The lower limit of detection war. felt to be too high to be of comnercial value. CRMC-LLF-Pfizer-Micro-000015 Tn conclusion, wc feic . (LI1 b(! nl<*|> scanned by X-ray dliTracUdn tb detect t r c m o l l t r ^ S to a 1/t of a percent, and an asbestiform mineral at the 1/2% level in the absence of chlorite. In the presence of chlorite and at concentration levels lower than those stated above the transmission electron microscope was found to provide reliable detection in identification of tremolite and the asbestiform minerals. The transmission electron microscope is the most sensitive method and appears to be a more or less referee technique since when morphology observations are coupled with selected area electron diffraction studies, there are no known interferences. We found light.microscopy helpful only in scrutinizing samples with very large particles at very high concentrations of objectionable fibers. 6*0 I I O . I t J CRMC-LLF-Pfizer-Micro-000016 To G.

Influences A External 1. Labeling-- During June of 1974 w e discussed with various customers the possibility of labeling our talc products. This resulted in an immediate loss of some accounts. Letters were sent to our customers advising that the label would be affixed to our bags effective November 1, 1974. These letters were sent out in September of 1974. The results of the letter in September and the actual labeling November 1 caused a further loss of customers. Our estimate of lost business on an annual basis was approximately 30 percent of our tonnage and 40 percent of our dollar volume. Please refer to my attached letter to P. Kotin which shows this effect. R. T. Vanderbilt and Pfizer (California talc) are i not labeling. R. T. Vanderbilt is certifying their \ talcs are asbestos-free, but we have no knowledge ' that Pfizer is doing the same. We feel that Vanderbilt and Pfizer (California talc) will be required to label ; before the end of 1975. The adverse publicity generated concerning asbestos ' and tremolite has been such that even if we could remove the asbestos label from our talc, it would 1 be some extended period of time, possioiy a year or | more, before we could regain business lost to | asbestos-free talcs. f 2. OSHA and NXOSH-- Jointly studying asbestos in talc. OSHA has requested NXOSH to study asbestos in commercial talc, and NIOSH is studying asbestos content of talc mines with MESA* NXOSH considers all particles of chrysotile and the amphiboles that have three-to-one aspect ratio and over 5 m as asbestos fibers. We expect increased activity from state (particularly California) OSHA offices on our talc customers because of tremolite. FDA-- Does not appear to be a problem at the moment. Their position stated in the Federal Register March 14, 1975 withdraws their proposed ban of talc in food packaging. The proposed ban drew attention to asbestos in talc and we will have an uphill battle to get back market share we lost. CRMC-LLF-Pfizer-Micro-000027 4. General Market Conditions-- See Talc Sales attached a. Our ceramic and tile business remains relatively strong in spite of our problems. b. Paint is weak due to the economy and our tremolite/labeling problems. 1 c. Our plastic business has all but disappeared due to the tremolite problem with the exception of Solo Cup which we started to sell in October of 1974. Solo remains strong but tremolite and the label are an ever present potential problem. Competition from Pfizer is fierce but we manage to hold on because Solo likes our product. d. Tremolite# the label# and quality# plus a poor business climate have combined to hurt our sales to the paper industry. Competitors from Montana talcs have been only too eager to point out to our customers that our talcs contain asbestos fiber. This is very rough competition, and coupled with the economy and quality problems, makes for difficult marketing conditions, to say the least. e. Price increases-- We had planned a six percent price increase for talc on an annual basis. We have implemented a three percent (annual basis) increase and have met great customer resistance. It is doubtful that a six percent will be achieved in 1975. A decision to label by Vanderbilt and Pfizer could reduce the pressure on Desertalc and allow for selective price increases. B. Internal Influences 1. Ore Quality and control Related to F.P.S.-- The problems with ore quality came about when we were forced to above ground mining. The lack of selective mining has caused virtually all of our problems con cerning brightness and acid solubles. The Mining Division is formulating a mining plan which should be completed soon to alleviate this problem. Problems encountered at the milling locations resulting in inability to meet F.P.S. stem primarily from the crude ore being shipped from Warm Springs. This, hopefully# will be corrected by the mining plan mentioned above. Other quality problems were caused by grinds being too coarse and poor plant management. Plans to train and adequately staff quality control personnel have been put into effect by Mining and Research. Plant management and supervision should CRMC-LLF-Pfizer-Micro-000028 improve dramatically when the Mining Division implements! their new organization plan for Desert Minerals on April 1, 1975. IV. Action That We Plan to Minimize Unfortunate Influences A. Tremolite and the Label-- We are and will continue to educate our customers on the necessity of proper dust control not only for asbestos fiber, but for all dust which is required by OSHA. Our industrial hygiene studies are very helpful in this respect. We believe and are attempting to convince the customers that they must clean up their plants and control dust to comply with OSHA regulations. By so doing, he eliminates the problem of asbestos. Wherever possible, we discuss bulk shipments to avoid dust problems. B. Ore Quality-- This problem is critical and compounds our problems with tremolite and the label. We are in constant contact with the Mining Division and -communicating our problems in this regard. The formu lation and implementation of a good sound mining program, properly supervised, will eliminate this problem area. C. Quality Control Problems at Grinding Locations-- Good quality crude is paramount, as it is the one area that the grinding plants have no control over. The training of plant quality control personnel so they know what they are looking for and can interpret their results properly will alleviate the problems of coarse grind. This, with better plant management which should be accomplished with the new plant organization, should reduce these problems to a minimum. T. E. Remitters has been assigned the responsibility of the key marketing liaison person to work and communicate to the Mining Division and to follow problem areas through. V. Recommendations The initial crunch of lost business due to the label has been felt. Our business seems to have stabilized. We expect further erosion in paint and possibly the loss of Solo Cup in plastics. Our ceramic business remains strong. We believe we can regain some lost paper tonnage with improved quality from Warm Springs and the grinding locations. During April we will phase out production from Los Angeles and move all production to Dunn. Some Cyclo-Fil may have to be made at Los Angeles on an intermittent basis due to capacities at Dunn. The consolidation of virtually all production at Dunn will cause Dunn to run at capacity for six-day weeks. The concentration of managerial personnel at Dunn should improve the plant's efficiency and eliminate CRMC-LLF-Pfizer-Micro-000029 many quality, shipping! and outage problems we have been experiencing. The costs used to arrive at net earnings with the revised forecast were submitted by the Mining Division. The cost includes the fixed cost for the Los Angeles Plant, which are estimated at $200,000 per year while closed down. If we were to dispose of this plant the fixed cost would be eliminated. The cost of operating Dunn and Harm Springs, in my judgment, appear to be overstated. We have never operated Dunn at full capacity with full management capa bilities which should insure better efficiency. - We believe we still have a 45,000-plus ton per year business. Mining Division believes this business concentrated at Dunn will improve our profitability. We would like to stay in the California talc business at least until Penhorwood comes on stream, to maintain continuity in the market. The Desert Minerals operation should be reviewed for profitability progress after May results are in. If this business, with the changes contemplated over the next two months, can be made profitable, it will remain a good small business as Penhorwood should have virtually no effect on Desert Minerals.

Martinson - 2W Dato: March 20, 197S from; Copie*: R. S. J, M. Lamar - 2W Fletcher - 2S 4r H . R. Keefe - 2W J. M. Sharratt - 2S Subject: AN ASSESSMENT OF THE J-M POSITION WITH TALC Three years since J-M's entry into the talc business with the acquisition of Desert Minerals Company is time enough for an appraisal of our position. This assessment is broken down into eight sections as follows: 1. The Effects of Labeling: Our position here has been the only acceptable action J-M could take. According to the definitions that are a part of the law, our California talc products all contain asbestos in the form of tremolite. No play on words will change this fact. -- 7 MM' ^ I the uniquely high brightness and relatively low acid soluble content of G-l and G-2 talc ores, we could hold onto most of the critical markets, in spite of labeling. I now seriously doubt our ability to do this. The "talc-asbestos" problem is quite different from the "asbestos-asbestos" problem. In many applications 5o t asbestos, there are no acceptable substitutes. With our asbestos-containing talc, there are numerous possibilities for substitution: (a) Non-asbestos containing talcs from both Pfizer and Cyprus from Montana sources and (b) Other extender pigments such as kaolin and calcium carbonate Cin paints, for example, and in paper filling uses). We see this type of substitution being made and long-established markets for Desertalc products evaporating in the process. CRMC-LLF-Pfizer-Micro-000031 0 % P. A. Martinson Page Two 2. The R. T. Vanderbilt Position: Their position with respect to labeling must be deliberately perfidious; they cannot be this misinformed. Slim Thompson, their technical director, has a Ph.D. in mineralogy. At the moment, Vanderbilt is misleading their customers and confusing ours with their decision not to label. Ultimately, the truth will out, and they will be forced to label. Pfizer's position is the same with their California talcs. With all asbestos-containing talcs labeled, far greater value and emphasis in the market will be applied to asbestos-free talcs. I seriously question the capacity of these asbestos-free talcs to satisfy the total market. Also, in some applications, the asbestos-free talcs are just not a suitable sub stitute quality-wise. For example, in ceramic wall tile (a major market for tremolitic talc) there are few, if any, asbestos-free talcs that show the same forming and firing properties. Penhorwood fires to a brown color due to high.iron content. G-l Fires white due to very low iron content. Nevertheless, it is a fact that the Montana talc (asbestos-free) business of both Cyprus Industrial Minerals and Pfizer is booming, while we are m the doldrums. 5. Quality: Historically, talc mining has been a high grading operation with selective mining required to maintain acceptable quality f>r various uses. This type of selective mining was done successfully for over 25 years at the Grantham Mine. Proper quality and uniformity of ore were seldom, if ever, problems and sizeable markets were built on this foundation of quality. The unique high brightness of Cyclo-Fil (95% G.E.) was, in the past, properly maintained and a good and profitable market developed for this product in paper filling. With the brightness of current quality Cyclo-Fil dipping as low as 89%, there is no way we are going to maintain this business. Clays and other fillers at half the price of Cyclo-Fil can and are being used. 4' ' P. A. Martinson Page Three Other quality considerations relating to high acid soluble content and improper grind have caused an erosion of our paper industry business until virtually nothing remains. 4. Markets: At one time (less than three years ago) sizeable markets for Descrtalc products existed in paper, paint, plastics, and ceramics. Both DT-51 and DT-57 were the most widely usud fillers in 404 talcfilled polypropylene. We lost this business prior to labeling because of tremolite content. Many of our paint and paper accounts have been lest for the same reason and labeling has accelerated this loss. Labeling, plus the loss of proper quality, has been disastercus. Ceramic sales of DT-51 have been difficult to maintain. High acid soluble and water soluble contents of G-l ore have resulted in casting slip gelation and rheological problems. The high acid soluble content of current quality G-l and G-2 ore has increased the alum demand of Lulu Cyuiu-Suib ami Cvuio-rii in paper applications to the point where, even if we had proper brightness, a paper mill could not afford to use our products. I can foresee no markets that can be built or rebuilt under present conditions. 5, New Technology: Froth flotation will reduce the t r e olito content of G-2 ore to less than 15, but will not remove all of the tremolite. In such a wet process, acid loaching will increase brightness several points. HIMS could probably also be used to remove even paramagnetic material to improve brightness still further. - Newly developed sand or attritor milling procedures can grind down to a maximum particle size of under 2 microns, but I believe that all of these new techniques are a waste of time as long as we have to label. Also, the relatively high mining costs at Warm Springs, plus the absence of adequate water for these wet processing methods makes the development of other sources more attractive.  P. A. Martinson Page Four Penhorwood: Based on detailed testing, we feel certain that Penhorwood talc can be developed as a major source for pitch control and should be directly competitive with Mistron Vapor (Cyprus Industrial Minerals Montana talc). Other markets may be developed for Penhorwood in plastics filling, elastomer reinforcement, and paint. Although in this latter use, the relatively low brightness of Penhorwood is going to be difficult to overcome. If higher brigheness grades could be developed from the same mining area, additional markets would become available. In paint uses, wet color uniformity is a major considera tion and must be maintained with Penhorwood talc or any other extender pigment. Analyses of Penhorwood core samples suggest that this may become a major problem. 7. Other Worldwide Talc Sources: With the worldwide decline in the industrial use of tremolitic or asbestoscontaining talcs, sources for asbestos-free talc will lively herom* more valuable. Major sources for this type of ore exist in France, Italy, Spain, India, Red China and other parts of the world. Generally, all of these deposits are selectively mined. Only Finntalc and Johnson and Johnson are using froth flotation to separate talc products of acceptable quality. We will do the same at Penhorwood, and the industry must move in this direction as deposits amendable to high-grading are depleted. ' Talc producing areas in California, Nevada, and Montana have been thoroughly--if not systematically and profes sionally explored. It is unlikely that new largescale talc-mining properties could be developed. However, this possibility should be explored--but only for asbestos-free materials. There would appear to be an opportunity for good geological work. CRMC-LLF-Pfizer-Micro-000034  P. A. Martinson Page Five 8. Conclusions and Recommendations . a. Labeling, plus a general decline in quality, has caused a disasterous loss in J-M talc business. Some of this business might be regained in spite of labeling, providing we could're-establish . prior high quality standards in both our mining and milling of these products. However, the effects of labeling will always place us in a serious competitive position. The economic viability of such an operation is also highly questionable. b. Until Penhorwood is in operation, we should try to hold onto as much of our existing talc business as possible. Such a holding action will be difficult, expensive, and disheartening, but should be done. Penhorwood will not replace all existing markets for Grantham talc because of darker color and other differences. c. Beyond the development of Penhorwood, J-M should attempt to develop, on a worldwide scale, other asbestos- free sources for talc mineral. These will most surely become more valuable with time. ~ It would be unfortunate, indeed, if we were to let our poor performance with Grantham talc interfere with J-M development of other worldwide talc sources under more desirable conditions.

Some talcs sre relatively free of asbestos while others ay eontain from 20 to 6CZ asbestos. Hence, it is safe to assuae that all commissioned ships are coated with asbestos containing paints. The poten tial'for generating airborne asbestos particles during grinding, sanding, or abrasive blasting of ships coated with asbestos containing paints will depend on the amount of asbestos in the dried paint being removed. Unfortunately, there Is no standard analytical method for measuring the asbestos content of dried paint and the aetual amount of airborne asbestos released by surface preparation of such paints is not known. 4. The potential problem of generating airborne asbestos particles during surface preparation can be prevented by: (a) prohibiting the use of high asbestos content talc in Navy formula paints and, (b) requiring the use of Navy formula paints whenever pra:tleal. However, this approach will not work for proprietary formulas such as those procured under TT-E-490 (silicone-alkyd topside paint). Standard analytical methods for measuring the asbestos content of paints do not exist and there is no accepted limit for the asbestos content of paints. Consequently, there is no way to establish and enforce practical aabaatoe limitations for proprietary paints. 5. Based on these observations, it is recommended that: ' - a. The airborne asbestos generated during the surface preparation of high asbestos content paints be Investigated. Such an invert!getinn will have to determine the airborne asbestos dusting hasard posed by using dif ferent surface preparation nsthods to remove paints of known asbestos con tent. A major parr, of such a task will be to develop analytical methods for determining the asbestos content of vet and dry paints. Enclosure (1) outlines a project tc accomplish such a study. b. Approve Mlstron 139 and Microtalc CP2030 for use in HIL-P-24441 paints. . 6. Marc Island Naval Shipyard has trained personnel and equipment needed to accomplish the recommended task. However, no technical personnel are available for asalgaaent to the task at this time. The potential airborne asbestos problem associated with asbestos containing paints should be Investigated. Mare Island is willing to support such a project to the fullest extent possible but cannot take the lead on such a task until FT 81. Xt is estimated the project can be completed within 12 months for $75,000 M.'L. PITTMAN By direction 2 tue2?.

Tale is a natural mineral, generally magnesium silicate, mined and processed throughout the world, principal operations in ' * the United States are in Hew York, California, Montana and Vermont* So-called "eastern" talc tends to be fibrous, 'while "western" talcs are softer, whiter, and have a platey f structure. For low grade applications, either can be used and business is divided geographically. For applications requiring high brightness and low abrasiveness, western talc is preferred, and high quality grades re marketed on the east coast. In 1971, total market was 875,000 tons, and nearly $25,000,000. During the 1960 decade, ton sales increased at a rate of about 4%; dollar sales at rate of S*fA. ' " Major uses are in ceramics, paint, paper, plastics;insecticides and roofing.

The latter acquired the total facility in 1967 from Kennedy Minerals, including talc mines. Pfizer had at the time milling facilities at Victorville, California, and a second plant was soon considered excess. The Dunn plant has been operated off and on during the past few years. Lompoc plant engineers have surveyed and trained the Dunn facilities and concur with the option list of equipment and facilities in general. Option expires in late February 1972. ' Financial Projection - S Years Sales . . Grantham's sales, limited by capacity, are $3.0 million -- 9% of the market. Using Grantham's high quality talc and our sales force in our markets, we plan a vigorous expansion to $5.2 million sales in 1976, attaining 14% of the market.

' Talc Geologically, Grantham talc is in the crystal Spring Formation (part of the pahrump Group in Death Valley) of the panamint Range. There are three principal layers of ore bodies. There are outcroppings of the ore bodies, and portals are located at these points.* Ore strata are separated b y dolomitic, diabase and volcanic rock formation. There are faults in the deposit Vhich have been established in terms of quarrying procedures. The mineable ore beds are 10-15 feet in thickness and lie with dip of 9 to 20 generally. ' vV Chemically, the talc is essentially magnesium silicate. Minor J composition is calcium carbonate, sodium carbonate and potassium - .i oxide.
