Burch, A: Chromite (Classic Reprint) -

Résumé :
Excerpt from Chromite

For many years most of the ore used in the United States came from Asiatic Turkey, with the exception of the small amount used on the Pacific Coast, this being mined in California. Later, with the discovery of large deposits in New Caledonia, that island became the chief source of supply, not only for the United States, but for Europe, and still more recently a considerable quantity of high-grade ore has been coming from Rhodesia.

In the United States some important deposits in the Eastern States were worked several years ago, but have apparently become exhausted, so that now almost the only sources of domestic ore are the serpentine areas of California and Oregon, if we exclude from consideration the newly, discovered deposits of Montana and Wyoming, the importance of which has not yet been demonstrated.
