In the homeland of the Indian companion. Mineral resources

you are: In the homeland of the Indian companion

Karnataka and mineral resources is rich. The iron ores containing about 40 percent gland, manganese, chrome, kaolin (porcelain clay) Here lie down. It is unique staff where nowadays extract gold. Gold save are available in Kolare and Hutti. It is especially well-known for the kopjami Kolar which is in 90 kilometres to the east from staff capital, near to highway Bengaluru - Madras. For the first time the industrial gold mining in this area has been begun in 1880 by English firm. In 1956 of mine have been nationalised, and nowadays them the state company operates. For century of mine Kolara of a distance of 785 tons of gold for a total sum of 120 billion rupees. Unfortunately, for this time of mine were exhausted: nowadays each ton of ore gives less than five grammes of gold whereas in the twentieth years from it extracted twenty grammes. And one more circumstance. Gold here extract in the mines which depth exceeds 2650 metres. And the mine ' CHempion a reef gould majn ', leaving in earth bowels on 3264 metres, is considered the deepest in the world. Naturally, the gold mining in such conditions - business extraordinary difficult, and its cost price is rather high.

And still extraction proceeds. The fast rise in prices on zologo does economically justified working out renewal even poor gold-bearing ores in old mines, and also processing by means of modern technics and technology of the residual breed which mountains have grown near to mines.

The Gold-bearing belt in this area was stretched on eighty kilometres. Now extraction is conducted only on an eight-kilometre piece of this belt. Recently the geological service of India has spent researches to the north from area of present extraction, and experts study expediency of development of new areas. But the main riches of bowels of staff - iron ore. On its basis in 1923 the government of Mysore has constructed in Bhadravati metal works ' Majsor ajron end stil limited ' which makes the ferroalloys, a special steel, qualitative pig-iron. To no small degree it has given a push for development in Karnataka the most various branches of the modern industry.
