Crude oil (Oil & Natural gas) exploration and exploitation work carried out by ONGC at different parts/ blocks of Nagapattinam district such as Narimanam, Kuttalam etc., in Cauvery basin. The silica sand is an oxide of silicon which is used mainly for the manufacture of Sodium Silicate, which in turn used in the soap and detergent manufacturing industries and also used in foundries, glass making, ceramics and as an abrasives. The Silica sand deposit is 4.86 million tonnes, occur in Vadamalai Manakkadu, Vanduvancherri, Thanikottagam villages of Vedaranyam Taluk in Nagapattinam District. There are eight silica sand leases at Nagapattinam District by different private mining companies. Lime‐shell deposits are available in Sirkali and Nagapattinama taluk of Nagapattinam district is about 1,87,064 Tonnes. It is used for making lime‐mortar and bleaching agent in Sugar industries. In Nagapattinam District, heavy minerals includes an assemblages of garnet, illmanite, rutile, zircon and monazite sands which are higher in specific gravity, occur as placer deposit along the sea coast in the beach sand. It occurs in Tharangamapdi and Sirkali Taluks in Nagapattinam District, garnet is used in the abrasive industries, and manufacturing synthetic gems. Illuminate is used for aircraft industry. Zircon is used for manufacturing Zirconium Crucibles. Silliminate is used for Aluminum industries. Besides that, brick earth quarries are available.
