    Jhillingburu - I Iron & Manganese Ore Mining Lease 1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Jhillingburu-I Mine Lease forms a part of Gua Ore Mines, which was the captive mine of the erstwhile Indian Iron and Steel Company Ltd. (IISCO). Gua Ore Mines has been the captive source of iron ore for IISCO Steel Plant (ISP), Burnpur. Since the takeover of IISCO by SAIL, Gua Ore Mines is operated by the Raw Material Division of SAIL and supplies iron ore mainly to ISP, Burnpur. Initially the mining was carried out by the manual means, which was subsequently mechanized during 1958 by commissioning & erection of Ore Handling Plant. Gua Ore Mine is the first mechanized mine of the country. The mine has been developed under Duarguiburu Iron Ore Lease over an area of 1443.756 ha, the main & largest mining lease of the mine. The other three leases are Jhillingburu-I (210.526 ha), Jhillingburu-II (30.43 ha) and Topailore (14.16 ha). The Jhillingburu-I & Jhilingburu-II are the iron & manganese leases, while the Durgaiburu and Topailore are the iron ore leases. In addition there is also a Surface Right Area spread over 242.8 ha, where most of the infrastructure for the mines (township, railway siding etc.) is located. The Mining Lease for Jhillingburu - I was granted in favor of Indian Iron & Steel Company Ltd (IISCO) with effect from 12.5.1950 for 30 years. The renewal application was filed on 7.5.1979 for another 30 years period as per existing clauses of the lease deed. Presently the mine is under the control of the Raw Materials Division (RMD) of Steel Authority of India Limited (SAIL), which took over IISCO in 2006.
