Current Status report

Brief Description about the project (Donimalai Iron Ore Mine, ML No.2396):

Donimalai Iron Ore Mine (ISO-9001:2000, ISO-14001:2004 & ISO-18001 Certified) is one

of the three fully mechanized iron ore production units of M/s NMDC Ltd. The mine is

situated in the Bellary-Hospet region of Karnataka and falls between latitudes 15o2’0”N &

15o6’30”N & longitudes 76o36’0” E & 76o38’30”E. The mine came into operation in

October, 1977 with a capital investment of Rs.41Crores.

Mine Production pattern:

Structurally, the Sandur hills form a tightly folded synclinorium plunging gently to

NNW and the hill ranges broadly delineate the folded limbs of synclines. The strike of the

ore bodies is generally parallel to the trend of the hill ranges and is NNW-SSE in Donimalai

and the dip is Steep to vertical. The two blocks of north and south are divided into six ore

bodies viz., 1 and 1A falling in the South Block and 2W, 2E, 3E and 3W in the North Block.

Open cast mining method is being done with 12m height benches. 150 mm (6”) dia

rotary percussive drills are used for Blast Hole Drilling. The blasted ore is ladded by

Hydraulic shovels of 8.0/5.5Cu.m bucket capacity. Ore is transported from the mine benches

to the Primary Crusher by 85 Ton/100 Ton Dumpers. Also the other auxiliary equipments

like 100 mm crawler drills, heavy-duty bulldozers, motor graders and water sprinklers for

road making and dust suppression as part of mining operation.

ANNUAL PRODUCTION:

1. 2013-14 : 5.29 Million Tons

2. 2014-15 : 5.08 Million Tons.

3. 2015-16 : 6.06 Million Tons.

Said villages are more than 7 km away from

active mining area of project. Commented

excessive sound is due to plying of lorries,

trucks, tippers etc moving through the said

villages and other activities which do not belong

to project.

Agreed Project is taking utmost

care for mitigating and

preventing any sound

generation due to its

mining activities.

Since inception NMDC is significantly

contributing in overall up-liftment of neighboring

villagers through extending developmental works

under CSR scheme and providing permanent

jobs, adhoc and Contractual jobs. More than 30

regions, through digging of pits for mine-able ore,

there have emerged big and deep pits. Wastes are

being staked hilly high and as a result of which the

land area is being 100-200 meters went gradiently

and tangently deep and naturally deteriorating the

physical features of the region.

any kind of said mining outside the ML area by

the corporation.
