No. I&M- 3(24)/2010 dated 23rd February, 2011. The Working Group was divided into four separate Sub-Groups and each of the sub-groups has to function in the ambit of the Terms of Reference as given in Annexure – I. 2. Sub-Group-I was constituted vide order No. 10(59)/2010/M 5 dated 30.03.2011 with the Additional Secretary, Ministry of Mines as the Chairman and the Director(Technical), Ministry of Mines as the Member-Secretary. The composition of the Sub-Group-I is given at Annexure-II. The Terms of Reference (ToRs) of Sub-Group-I are basically concerned with issues related to enhancement of mineral exploration activities, both onshore and offshore, in the country. 3. Despite India’s significant geological potential for mineral deposits, investments in exploration have been inadequate and the country does not rank very high in terms of its mineral resource base amongst similarly geologically endowed nations. Mineral exploration activities therefore need to be stepped up and investment inflows for exploration have to be facilitated. These involve diverse issues of baseline data generation, data dissemination, technology infusion for exploring concealed deposits, strategies for attracting private investments and offshore geoscientific studies. Adequately addressing these issues require consultation and collaboration for framing short term and long term plans and also for implementing an effective strategy. 4. Sub-Group-I initiated a wide ranging consultation process involving the key Central Govt. agencies engaged in Mineral exploration, State Governments, Federation of Indian Mineral Industries, Pvt. Sector Companies and other stake holders for identification and elaboration of concrete issues that need to be addressed under the framework of the ToRs of the Sub-Group. 5. The first meeting of Sub-Group-I was held on 11-4-2011 at New Delhi under the Chairmanship of the Additional Secretary, Ministry of Mines wherein it was decided to constitute three Working-Groups(WG), comprising subject experts, within Sub-Group-I to deal with different groups of related issues within the ToRs of Sub-Group-1. The GSI lead Working Group-I headed by the Director General, GSI was to cover ToRs (iii), (iv), (vii) and (ix). The other nominated members of the WG-I were Dr.K.Rajaram, GSI, Shri M.S.Jayaram, GSI, Shri M.Sengupta, IBM, Shri S.K Lagoo, MECL, Shri Subhash Bahadur, FIMI and Representatives from Rajasthan and M.P.

  • Chapter 15 Mining
    CHAPTER 15 MINING 15.1. India is endowed with significant mineral resources. India produces about 100 minerals out of which 4 are Fuel minerals, 11 Metallic, 52 Non-metallic and the rest minor minerals. India is the world’s largest producer of mica blocks and mica splittings. With the recent spurt in world demand for chromate, India has stepped up its production to reach the second rank among the chromate producers of the world. Besides, India ranks, 3rd in production of Coal & Lignite, 2nd in Barites, 4th in Iron ore, 5th in Bauxite and crude Steel, 7th in Manganese ore and 8th in Aluminum. 15.2. The Ministry of Mines is responsible for the survey and exploration of all minerals (other than Natural Gas and Petroleum), for mining and metallurgy of Non-ferrous metals like Aluminum, Copper, Zinc, Lead, Gold, Nickel, etc., and for the administration of the Mines and Minerals, other than Coal, Natural Gas and Petroleum. The Ministry of Mines has jurisdiction over Geological Survey of India and Indian Bureau of Mines, both of which are subordinate offices. Geological Survey of India (GSI) 15.3. The GSI is the principal agency responsible for the assessment of geological and regional mineral resources of the country. GSI was established in 1851 and is one of India’s oldest investigative agencies in the field of earth sciences. Its areas of operation encompass scientific surveys and research and for locating mineral resources. GSI operates through six regional offices and four specialized wings – Marine, Coal Geophysics, Airborne surveys and Training. 15.4. The GSI has to its credit geological mapping, covering an area of approximately 3,146 million sq.km, or 94 percent of the area of India.
