AS PER WEBSITE DETAILS

A MISSION WITH A VISION .

The year is 1600 . A fleet of small sailing crafts called 'Pangayas' sets sail to enter the ever - expanding oceans of the country's commerce. There were two things common among these vessels. One was that they were an enterprise launched by the Dempo family. The second, and this is the essence of their success story, was a marked professionalism in the venture. Professionalism that stemmed from meeting of minds of the most outstanding calibre. These were the new missionaries. They displayed first class skills and commitment. And their mission was excellence.

Over the centuries, the territory of Goa has undergone a sea of change. Dempos have grown from strength to strength but the basis of their exuberance remains the same even today - Professionalism. Dempo carries on its voyage into the future, with the same zeal shown by those pioneers who set sail with the 'Pangayas'.

 

Padmashri Shri Vasantrao S. Dempo is the founder of the Dempo empire. Having set the Group on the right track he is also one of the pioneers of Goa's progress. He was honoured by the President of India with the title "Padmashri" for his sterling contribution to the Goan economy.

 

Mr. Shrinivas V. Dempo is a Post Graduate in Commerce and Masters in Business Administration from Carnegie Mellon University , USA , with specialisation in Financial Management and Industrial Administration.

 

As Vice-President , Operations , Mr. M. V. Rebelo oversees the mining operations, Exports , Shipping , Personnel , and Human Resources Development as well as Transhipper Operation and river transport.

Mr. M. V. Rebelo is a Graduate in Commerce and Law . He Joined V. S. DEMPO & Company in 1963.

 

As Vice-President Finance and Taxation of the Group , Mr. S. Srinivasan heads the Finance , Taxation and Secretarial functions at the Corporate level.

 

Mr. S. Srinivasan is a Graduate in Commerce from the University of Madras and a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India . He was initially associated with M/ S A . F . Ferguson & Company , renowned Professional firm of Chartered Accountants. He joined the Group in 1974

Dempo Mining Corporation (DMC) is a wholly owned subsidiary of V.S. Dempo & Company Limited and contributes over 75% of the Group's production of ore, thus augmenting V.S.Dempo & Company Limited export to a large extent.

MINING IN GOA

The territory of Goa covers an area of 3500 square kilometres.The landscape is mostly hilly forming part of the western ghats.The altitude varies from sea level to a maximum of 1700 metres above mean sea level.The territory is gifted with warm tropical climate and annual rainfall of 350 to 450 cms. during the monsoon seasons -June to October. The main rivers Mandovi and Zuari both flowing into the Arabian sea are navigable by barges used for transporting the ore.

The iron ore deposits in Goa are mainly haematite and extend in North-North West, South-South East directions from North to the South occupying nearly 1/5th area of the total territory.

The main iron ore bearing zone is divided into four separate areas by major faults.These areas are :

  • Bicholim - Pale area
  • Sancordem area
  • Shigao - Kalay area
  • Sanguem - Quepem area.

The iron ore bearing areas is continuous with little local variation in thickness and quality of the ore.

 

DMC

 

The acquisition of mining concessions in 1949 triggered off a new chain of events. It provided a much needed boost to the country's newly started export trade in iron ore. At this moment of industrial history , loading was done manually. The ore was transported to the riversides of Mandovi and Zuari and loaded on to vessels between 7000 and 10,000 DWT. Later Dempos began building barges to transport the ore.

 

Today , stacking and loading at the riverside is completely mechanised. The stacking capacities too have increased considerably. The mines, besides being fully mechanised, are also equipped with screening plants and beneficiation plants for upgrading the ore. These are aided by the state-of the- art R & D laboratory.

 

Dempos have 19 mining concessions all over Goa, admeasuring about 1800 hectares. These include some of the biggest mines known to India, notably in Bicholim , Surla and Kirlapale. Collectively they export nearly three million tonnes of iron ore lumps and fines each year.

Concern for Goa's beauty , planting trees on land-fills, and creating a green cover where barren land existed before, comes natural to Dempo Mining Corporation.

SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

Ensuring production without pollution .

Dempo Mining Corporation Limited and Goa Carbon Limited (CPC division) are the only two companies under the Dempo stable which could cause pollution. Both these Companies have undertaken extensive measures to prevent pollution.

LAND

From 1991-96 , Dempo Mining Corporation planted a total of 10,00,351 trees in the mines and surrounding areas of the mines. Out of these , 8,11,447 trees have survived.This afforestation programme has arrested soil erosion and dust generation.DMC does concentrated mining at two places over a limited strike length.It ensures that the final excavation in the area is completed within a period of two years.The final void is filled back by the excavated material recovered while developing the next area.

The land surface within the mined area is shaped to either look like what it was before, or prepared for the intended subsequent use.The restoration is accomplished with the help of Ripper Dozer and shovels that mix different qualities of soil to improve the soil structure.

GCL produces Calcined Petroleum Coke (CPC) . CPC has no ill effects on vegetation , animals and other life forms. The GCL plant is surrounded by a lush cover of trees planted by the company over the last 20 years. These have been thriving inspite of the fact that plant is located on a "Moll" of laterite bearing earth with a very thin cover of soil. The Company has so far planted 1000 trees in and around the plant area.

The Raw Pet Coke yard is fully covered and water is regularly sprinkled on the RPC .

AIR

DMC has taken precautions to prevent air polution. Haul roads leading to the processing plant are asphalted and continous spraying of water is done during dry season.Noise level is reduced by noise protectors and special silencers.At certain places sound proof screens have been installed to reduce the impact of noise.As a result of introduction of sophisticated high power and environment friendly Ripper Dozers , the need for blasting has been eliminated. A separate road , which will be constructed , maintained and utilised by the Company for transportation of ore has been proposed to the Government so as to reduce inconvenience to the residents.

GCL has entrusted VIMTA LABS LIMITED , for carrying out an Environment Impact Assessment (EIA) study. On the advise of Goa State Pollution Control Board , GCL has installed monitoring stations for gauging the level of carbon dust fall-out. These monitoring stations are being used to monitor ambient air quality. As per their report , ambient air quality has been found to be within the prescribed limit.

WATER

DMC has created a lake to ensure clean water for mining, agriculture and for use by people in the neighbouring areas. Series of bunds, filter beds and pits are regularly constructed and maintained to contain wash offs from the dumps and protect the environment.Overflow discharge pipes are provided and connected with filteration chambers.Water from these chambers is collected in a tank .The water is re-circulated into the plant. Overflow from these tanks after passing through the filteration chambers is channelled for agricultural use.

Goa Carbon Limited has no discharge of liquid effluents from the GCL plant.Therefore, there is no water pollution.

 

TECHNOLOGY

Dempo Metallurgical Research & Development Centre was set up in 1979. The main objectives of this R&D centre are :

  • To derive requisite data by laboratory and Pilot Plant scale experiments on ore samples from different mines of Dempo Group of Companies.
  • To carry out investigation of bore holes samples to find its characteristics as regards the grade, size and processing parameters.
  • To generate design parameters for the beneficiation of new ore bodies.
  • To evaluate the performance of the existing plants and suggest improvement in the plant performance depending upon the market requirements.

SOME OF THE MAJOR WORK DONE BY DMRDC

 

With a view to utilise low grade ore from Bicholim mines , Dempos in December 1981 modified the crushing cum screening plant which was installed by M/s.KRUPP of Germany in the year 1960.This timely modification of the existing plant helped the company in meeting different quality requirements of the present market.

 

One more most modern beneficiation plant was installed at Kirlapale in south Goa by the company in April 1985 with its own know-how. The characteristics of the low grade iron ore from Kirlapale mines were investigated in DMRDC and the design parameters were generated.The complete work was done by the company's personnel.The plant is well equipped.

 

In January 1986 studies were carried out on ores with high percentage of Alumina of Bicholim area. A flow sheet based on the test results of laboratory and Pilot Plant was developed in DMRDC. On the basis of this data generated, a beneficiation plant was erected at Piligao.

 

In June 1986 studies were conducted on ores from Surla mines. Based on the test result of laboratory and Pilot Plant a flowsheet was developed in DMRDC. Subsequently, on the basis of the information a benefication plant was erected at Surla near the Surla jetty. The entire work was done by the company personnels.

 

Apart from the above major jobs, DMRDC is conducting the following routine tests:

  • Determination of specific gravity of different types of samples from Bicholim, Surla and Kirlapale mines.
  • Pilot Plant beneficiation studies on low grade lumpy ore from Bicholim mines.
  • Studies on different types of samples from Bicholim, Surla and Kirlapale mines on laboratory and Pilot Plant scale.
  • Test on bore hole samples from Bicholim , Surla and Kirlapale mines as and when desired.

DMRDC is well equipped to carry out all the relevant tests at any point of time.
