Thickness of the bauxite zone intersected in the boreholes varies from 3.2 to 14.75 m with an average thickness of 9.78 m. The bauxite zone is found to reach up to a maximum

depth of 27.09 m. Alumina (Al2O3) content ranges from 43.04 to 47.60%

with SiO2 varying from 4.74 to 9.26%. The main ore mineral is gibbsite with

anatase and goethite. Content of TiO2 in bauxite zones varies from 10.18 to 11.09 %, Vanadium (V) from 594 to 704 ppm and Gallium (Ga) from 38 to 62 ppm. Chromium, Nickel & PGE West Ranjrakochajanoa------G4 stage reconnaissance survey for Singhbhum Jojohatu-Tonto area Cr, Ni & PGE was taken up in this area. The chromite mineralisation occurs as pods and disseminated grains within dunite and harzburgite in the Jojohatu and Tonto Blocks. In the Ranjrakocha block, the mineralisation is in the form of disseminated grains. The chromite mineralisation in the Janoa block occurs as disseminated grains in the ultramafic rocks and also within the metabasic rocks as large grains. PGE mineralisation is mainly associated with the ultramafics. PGE concentration shows a maximum value of 0.8 ppm while the highest value of chromite is 38 wt % and the value of Ni is 5.14 wt %. Manganese Ore/Phosphate/Barium Saraikela- Niponitola- 1:12500 100 - - - G4 stage reconnaissance survey was Kharsawan Chamta- taken up for manganese, phosphate Bangora area and barium mineralisation. The area is a part of arcuate shaped North Singhbhum Mobilebelt (NSMB). Three manganese bands have been delineated within the interlayered sequence of acid volcanic/tuff and quartzitic rocks, having strike lengths of 1150 m, 2300 m and 600 m and exposure widths of 25 m, 30 m-60 m and 4 m.

Agency/ Location Mapping Drilling Sampling Remarks Mineral/ (No.) Reserves/Resources estimated District Scale Area No. of Meterage (sq km) boreholes Gold Ranchi Birgon block 1:1000 2 - - - G4 level investigation for Gold was covered by mapping and geophysical survey along with PS, BRS, SSS and PTS sampling. The geophysical contour map indicated an anomalous zone of possible sulphide mineralisation at a depth of 25-30 m. Gold mineralisation is being targeted in the quartz veins within the quartz mica schist and the contact zones of amphibolite & mica schist. Analytical results show a maximum Au content of 0.25 ppm in BRS and PTS samples.

Ranchi Birgon block 1:12500 100 - - 3 G4 level reconnaissance survey for Gold in and around Ghagri- Asangibera-Dubrajpur-Jurgu areas, Saraikela-Kharsawan & Ranchi. Gold mineralisation has been observed in brecciated quartzites and quartz veins showing limonitisation, silicification, leaching of sulphides, shearing in the form of brecciation etc. A bedrock sample shows an anomalous concentration of 2.4 ppm of gold. In trench samples, gold values ranges from 60 to 320 ppb. Pit samples yielded a maximum value of 110 ppb of Au. Out of 10 panned stream sediment samples, visible specks of gold were recovered in 3 samples. The total REE value of bedrock samples ranges from 3 to 3363 ppm and three samples show high value of 3363 ppm, 2673 ppm and 2399 ppm, respectively.

West Tiring-Dubrajpur 1:12500 100 - - - G4 level reconnaissance survey for Singhbhum area Gold, Arsenic and Antimony was carried out in Tiring-Dubrajpur area. Gold mineralisation is found to be associated with the host rocks, viz., chlorite schist, mica schist, metabasic rocks, brecciated quartzite/ quartz reefs and numerous quartz veins and veinlets of grey to whitish colour and smoky quartz veins having leached out limonitised surface. Bedrock samples showed a maximum of 60 ppb of Au value and pit /trench samples showed.
