Product| The quarrying of limestone is the earliest recorded
mining activity in Tasmania for non-metallic minerals other than
coal. The occurrence of limestone is widespread in western and
northern Tasmania, and there are extensive resources of silica
throughout Tasmania. Dolomite occurs in a number of places in
the north west, central and southern Tasmania. This page last
