It may take a few kills (10 or so for me) but they do infact drop off Talrendis Saboteur. It had me a bit confused as they didn't have their names in red above their head or quest objective on mouse over like normal quest objectives but this may just be a bug, just keep on killing them.
Actually I was thrashing your explosive stockpiles, Zignibble.

Description
There's got to be a way to reverse the basilisks' stonification. Those irritating night elf saboteurs who have been lurking around my mine must know something we don't. They seem to be immune to the gaze of the beast! I want you to find out their secret, {name}. Pick off a few of the Talrendis saboteurs skulking about in the rear of the strip mine and get a sample of whatever charm or ding-dong they're wearing to give them immunity. Radio me from the main forge building once you're successful.
Where to go
Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Stone Cold
Workers act like it's their job to complain. If it isn't the backbreaking labor, the long hours, or the low pay, it's being turned to stone by basilisks. It's always something! But I'm thinking maybe this whole workers-to-stone business could be a big moneymaker for me.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Prismbreak
If that prism of yours is tuned to refract a basilisk's gaze, we can use its crystal properties to reverse the process. All we need is a source of power. In the weapons cabinet to your right, you'll find our prototype laser mining drill.
