> N95 if concerned though

N95's do absolutely nothing for asbestos. The mine and surrounding area is off limits for a reason and suggesting any part of it is "more or less safe" is stupid. Even if parts of it are "mostly" safe, the type of person who needs to ask, isn't qualified to make that decision.

I'll gladly accept you answer as being the correct one. And yes, a respirator is the proper face-pro

Is the remediation part the hill/mound of material dug out from the mine?

Also, as for the rest of the mine, would it be safe to walk around there so long as I watch where I’m breathing?

i don’t think you can watch where you’re breathing but getting a respirator mask would help more

As another pointed out: The mine area is a place best left undisturbed.
