Total Mineable Iron: 20.022 million tonnes Reserves(Mt) Mn: 0.837 million tonnes Life of Mine Iron : 5 years & Mn: 14 years (approx.) Method of Fully mechanized opencast mining method with formation of Mining benches by drilling and blasting Deposits Iron Ore: Deposit-1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 and Patch-II Mn Ore: Deposit-1C_1E, 4,5,6B,8 Stripping Ratio, Iron ore: 0.40; Mn Ore: 3.17 (Waste:Ore) (m3 : t) Waste disposal 16.67 Mm3 waste will be generated from iron ore quarries upto conceptual stage. Entire waste (14.67 Mm3) after 2020 shall be backfilled into quarries. 18.68 Mm3 waste will be generated from manganese ore quarries upto conceptual stage. Entire waste (17.96 Mm3) after 2020 shall be backfilled in quarry void. Mineral Iron Ore: Crushing Unit (1 nos.) of 100 TPH & screening Unit Processing (2+1 nos.) of 300 & 100 TPH respectively (10% of ROM); Mn Ore: only manual sizing and shorting Mineral 90% ROM (iron ore) produced from the quarry will be Transport transported by 35t dumpers. Mn ore from stackyard will be transported outbound from the ML by long term buyers.

Water Demand Average water requirement at Dubna Sakradihi Iron & Mn lease for domestic and industrial use are to the tune of 148 m3/day and 69 m3/day respectively. Peak water requirement at Dubna Sakradihi Iron & Mn lease for domestic and industrial use are to the tune of 159 m3/day and 148 m3/day, respectively. Source of water Potable water through bore well: Avg. 148 m3/day (peak 159 m3/day)

Industrial water : Avg. 69 m3/day (peak 148 m3/day) Jalpa Nala Man Power The mine shall employ 599 persons. All the unskilled workers, most of the semiskilled workers and a significant number of skilled workers will be local villagers or from nearby towns. Out of total manpower, about 401 shall be through contracting. Electricity At present 1100 KW power is drawn from 33 kV line from Joda Demand substation of Grid Corporation of India. Additional power shall be drawn from the same source, if required. Infrastructure Since the mine was operational till April 2006 most of the infrastructure required for the project are already available in the mine such as office, magazine, roads, canteen, roads, township etc. In case need arises, construction will be done as per requirement. Proposed Rs. 91452 lakhs Investment Production Cost Rs. 1238 / tonne (avg. cost of production over a period of 14 years)
