LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

 

Company Details:

 

With the beginning of the new century, the mining industry is subject to a number of powerful trends that will shape the business environment in which the industry operates. Perhaps none of these is more challenging than the call for a global transition to sustainable development.

As a group, they are fully committed to attain a new balance between economic prosperity and human well being on one hand, and the health of the ecosystem on the other.

Towards achieving this objective, they have initiated several projects to develop both the community and the earth. Scientific agriculture projects to replenish the earth, as well as a wide spectrum of human development activities for the community.
Achieving sustainability seems indeed a worthy pursuit, especially to those of them who are involved in the business of mining.

 

Subject  is a leading conglomerate of industries, led by Anil V Salgaocar, a visionary who has dedicated his life to the advance of the mining industry. As a Group, Salgaocar Mining Industries is mainly involved in the mining and export of iron ore worldwide. The Salgaocar Group exports iron ore to Japan , China, Europe and the Far East. With its headquarters in Margao, Goa the group's activities also include real estate, pharmaceuticals and newspaper publishing.

Acutely conscious of the ecological and human factors that mining entails, Salgaocar Mining Industries have put in place a whole spectrum of development activities that replenishes both the soil and the spirit. Consequently, the company's business ethos is singularly based on respect; to their customers, their fellow workers and their terra firma that makes it all possible

Mining Operations - Goa

The Company's mining reserves are estimated to be over 300 million tons. The iron ore body is concealed under a cover of laterite capping about 15 to 25 meters thick. Mining is carried out by forming 8 meter height benches and deploying suitable heavy earthmoving machinery. After the hard laterite capping is ripped and dozed, an excavator loads the rejection for the waste dump. The exposed ore benches are then excavated. The hard lumps are ripped, the friable and the fine ores transported by tipper trucks to destinations depending on the quality of the ore. All mining operations are planned meticulously in advance and the position, quantity and quality of ore to be mined is predetermined. The Company has a fleet of Dozers, Excavators, and Wheel loaders.

 

The Rated Capacities of Ore Processing Plants per hour

  • Vagus Dry Screening Facility 3000 tons
  • Pegson Crushing & Screening Plant 1000 tons
  • Odamol Benefication Plant 1000 tons
  • Mobile Washing Plant 800 tons

Mining operations in Karnataka



Our presence in the southern state of Karnataka comprises of four mining companies:

  • Tungabhadra Minerals Private Limited
  • Balaji Mines and Minerals Private Limited
  • Auro Minerals
  • Chitradurga John Mines
  •  

Tungabhadra Minerals Private Limited

 

Almost three decades ago, the foresight of the Salgaocar group led to the setting up of a joint venture with the Government of Karnataka, for the scientific mining of iron ore from the mineral rich state of Karnataka. Tungabhadra Minerals private Limited soon grew to become a well established mining company widely regarded for its consistency and reliability.

The company is presently operating seven mining leases in Karnataka. It has a reputation for producing high quality ore types such as super and basic grade lumps, calibrated ore, high grade and low grade fine and high density iron aggregates for export as well as home trade.

With an ore reserve of 70 million tons, this company operates High Grade Iron Ore Mining Leases in Bellary and Hospet sectors of Karnataka and has also established a modern and sophisticated mineral processing unit in the scenic hilly tracts of Taranagar in Bellary.

Its highly flexible HPDA plant can produce high grade calibrated ore, sinter feed fines and pellet feed fines, if required. With a capacity of 180 tons per hour, this totally indigenous plant is the only facility of its kind in India.

TML is also on the verge of acquiring state of the art mobile screening and mobile crushing plants to modernise and facilitate its mining operations.

TML uses the open cast mechanized mining method which is appropriate to the topography and geological features.

Mining Operations in Orissa

Salgaocar Mining Industries has an extraction contract with the Kalinga Mining Corporation to extract and export ore from the Joruri Iron Ore Mining Leases. This 132.67 hectare mining lease, situated in Joruri, Orissa, has a stratigraphy of laterite, shale and banded iron formations.

Opened up pits within and adjacent to the leasehold area have provided sufficient geological data for ore deposits. It has a proved reserve of 10 million tons, and a possible reserve of 20 million tons. The average grade of iron ore in this region is Fe- 64

A systematic working of these pits deploying state of the art machinery would yield around 5,00,000 metric tons to 7,00,000 metric tons annually.

Salgaocar Mining plans to export the ore mined from Joruri through the ports of Paradip and Haldia on the East Coast of India.

Marine Capabilities

OSFT Sunrise

 

OSFT SUNRISE is an ultra modern transfer vessel equipped with a fast loading system designed specifically to handle large quantities of ore. It is assembled on a panamax platform. The vessel was converted into a transhipper in 1997 at the premier shipyard of Ishikawajima Harima Heavy Industries, Japan.

With a storage capacity of 55000 MT, OSFT SUNRISE ensures the readiness of cargo before the arrival of the export vessel. It is capable of loading vessels of up to 300,000 DWT and permits loading in alternate holds of the export vessel without shifting.

Salgaocar Shipping Company also has ten barges with a total carrying capacity of over 10,000 tons.

 

Cortalim Ship Yard and Engineers Private Limited:

This shipyard has a fully covered 200 meter slipway with a total capacity of 4000 tons and a second slipway ideal for new constructions and repairs of barges and launches. Four overhead cranes with a total capacity of 30 tons; an enclosed store space with an overhead crane and stocking facilities for unloaded steel; one 80 ton HM crane for loading and discharging operations on the wharf. Other amenities include full-fledged office space; a 260 HP power link with an independent 500 KVA transformer and fresh water connection with storage space.

 

 

Agriculture

 

In Collem, a farm with an area of 791,160 sq.m has most of its boundary wrapped by the river Dood Sagar. It has rich alluvial soil ideal for agriculture. Crops include Cashew, Coconut, Areca nut, Black Pepper, Cloves, Banana, Papaya, Pineapple, Nutmeg and about 100 species of medicinal plants. A matured and old plantation of cashew occupies most of the farm with a seed yield of 40 quintals every year. The spices, coconut and areca are intercropped in a multi-storied planting method. Bananas are cultivated recurring every three years with a gap of one year on every plot, once in four years.

The farm also has sericulture and apiculture projects. The fertilizer is from a vermicompost unit that uses cow dung as decomposing media. It is clubbed with a self maintained dairy. More than 100 species of medicinal plants are grown as an exercise in the preservation of the ancient knowledge of ayurvedic medicines.

 

Irrigation is with sprinklers and covers over 100 acres with a pump running 18 hours a day. The irrigation cycle ends once in five days. Farm laborers are housed in the farm at strategic locations of the boundary for the security of the crops.
