Comments on the reserve resource information

  • RESERVES AND RESOURCES OF INDIA HAVE NOT BEEN ADEQUATELY DEFINED. THE ONLY AVAILABLE DATA ON INDEVIDUAL MINE RESERVES REPRESENTS EXPOSED MATERIAL IN THE IMMEDIATE VICINITY OF THE OPERATING MINES, AND THUS IS INSIGNIFICANT THE RESOURCES ASSIGNED TO INDIA (63 MT) REPRESENT ESTIMATES BASED ON GEOLOGIC INFERENCE OVER BROAD AREAS. THESE RESOURCES ARE ARBITRARILY ASSIGNED TO THE MAHARASHTRA- MADHYA PRADESH AREA (33 MT) AND THE KEONJHAR AREA (30 MT); THESE AREAS ACCOUNT FOR NEARLY 90% OF THE HIGH GRADE ORE PRODUCTION (MOST OF THIS IS FROM THE MAHARASHTRA-MADYA PRADEASH AREA). FURTHER, RESERVES ARE NOT CATEGORIZED BY FRADE; PROBABLY LESS THAB HALF COULD BE UTILIZED IN THE PRODUCTION OF FEMN. MINING AND CINCENTRATION IN THE MAHRASHHTRA-MADHYA PRADESH AREA IS VIRTUALLY ALL BY HAND METHODS. MINING NORMALLY BEGINS AT THE EXPOSED ORE OUTCROP AND CONTINUES UNDERGROUND AS LONG AS THE ORE HORIZON PERSISTS. VARIOUS UNDERGROUND MINING METHODS HAVE BEEN DESCRIBED, BUT SINCE MINING IS BY HAND, THE DIFFERENCES IN METHODS ARE OF LITTLE CONSEQUENCE. CONCENTRATION GENERALLY CONSISTS OF BREAKING BY HAND, HANDSORTING, AND HANDWASHING. THE MINES LISTED ARE CONSIDERED TO BE THE PRINCIPAL WORKINGS IN THE ORE, BUT THERE ARE MANY OTHER SMALL WORKINGS THAT CONTRIBUTE TO THE PRODUCTION. LITTLE SPECIFIC DATA ARE AVAILABLE; THE LATEST INFORMATION AVAILABLE GENERALLY DATES FROM CIRCA 1981-82.
