The world’s chromite supply has been obtained mainly from the following sources, named roughly in order of their importance: New Caledonia; southern Rhodesia; western and southern Asia Minor; Ural Mountains, Russia; eastern Greece, adjacent islands, Macedonia, and Serbia; Baluchistan and Mysore, India; Quebec, Canada; Atlantic and Pacific coast states, United States; State of Bahia, Brazil; Oriente, Cuba; Japan; Bosnia and Herzegovina; Austria-Hungary; and Guatemala. The geographic distribution of the more important deposits of chromite is shown in Plate IV. Other countries in which deposits of chromite are known but in which little or no ore has been produced are: Shetland Islands, Scotland; Norway; Sweden; Silesia; Portugal; New South Wales, Australia; New Zealand; Transvaal; Togoland; and Newfoundland. Table 25 shows the output of chromite in the chief producing countries from 1905 to 1917. =Australasia.=--Important quantities of chromite occur on the island of _New Caledonia_, in the South Pacific, and in smaller amounts in Australia, New Zealand, and Tasmania.
