Introduction
Maharashtra Orissa
The mineral-bearing zones of Maharashtra lie Orissa, situated on the eastern seaboard of India
beyond the area of the basalts in eastern Vidarbha, is one of the gifted parts of the World, where a
southern Kolhapur and the Sindhudurg area. The
gamut of mineral resources exist in bounty.
Chandrapur, Gadchiroli, Bhandara and Nagpur The rich mineral wealth of the state is attributed
to its favorable Geological setup. Situated on the
Districts form the main mineral belt, with coal and eastern fringe of the peninsular India, Orissa has
manganese as the major minerals and iron ore and about 72.5%of the area occupied by Precambrian
limestone as potential wealth. The Ratnagiri coast metamorphic rocks (of Achaean and Proterozoic
contains sizeable deposits of illimenite. is the sole age) which hosts the majority of the minerals.

Base metals are common metals that tarnish, oxidize, or corrode relatively
quickly when exposed to air or moisture. They are widely used in
commercial and industrial applications, such as construction and
manufacturing. Base metals include lead, copper, nickel, and zinc. They are
often more abundant in nature and sometimes easier to mine. That makes
base metals far less expensive for use in manufacturing than precious
metals, such as gold, silver, and platinum.

Diaspore (HAlO2)
Used for production of Alumina and as refractories, abrasives, minor
quantities are used in ceramics, chemicals and ferroalloys industries.

Steel is an essential material for modern life and global steel production is
dependent on coal - 70% of steel produced uses coal. Metallurgical coal – or
coking coal – is a vital ingredient in the steel making process. Coking coal is
converted to coke by driving off impurities to leave almost pure carbon.
