  • MEASURED MT OF CRUDE ORE OF OXIDE AND CARBONATE TYPES.

Comments on development

  • NON-GEOLOGIC CONSTRAINTS ON DEVELOPMENT OR EXPANSION IN 1-5 YRS. ( TRANSPORT/ACCESS;). MOST MN MINES OCCUR IN MADHYA PRADESH; 38-59% MN (PRODUCT); OVER 90% OF PRODUCTION HAS COME FROM PRIMARY ORE, WHICH IS METALLURGICAL GRADE, HIGHER GRADE ORES CONTAIN 48-52% MN.
  • NON-GEOLOGIC CONSTRAINTS ON DEVELOPMENT OR EXPANSION IN 1-5 YRS. (). ASSESSMENT(MARGINALLY ECONOMIC ORE DUE TO THE HIGH STRIP RATIO AND DIFFICULT CONCENTRATION.); THE ORE IS 20% LOWER GRADE THAN NIKOPOL, AVERAGING 18.53% MN.
