BRIEF NOTE ON MINES OF KHETRI COPPER COMPLEX

PUBLISHED WORK OF N G NAIR MALANJKHAND INDIA – ABOUT COPPER MINING IN INDIA
MINING – A LEGACY OF GLORY
Mining was flourishing at Khetri during Indus Valley civilisation. The oldest hill range of the Aravalli hills form the host for copper mineralization, giving raise to a 76 km long metallogenetic province, from Singhana to Raghunathgarh, best known as Khetri Copper Belt.
The slag heaps at Singhana, Khetri, Papurna, Babai and many more places and the innumerable ancient workings in the form of pits, inclines, shafts etc., bear testimony to the fact that mining and smelting activities were in practice since times immemorial.
Though the recent archaeological extrapolations, arrived at on the basis of excavations at Ganeshwar, near Neem-Ka-Thana, logically ascribe the mining activity in the area to Harappa-Mohanjodaro civilization, the first recorded mention of copper mining in this belt is found in Ain-I-Akbari, written by Sheikh Abul Fazal in the year 1590, during the period of Moghul Emperor, Akbar the Great, wherein the following lines appear:
"Babai has a stone fort and a copper mine" "Singhana Udaipur has a copper mine and a mint for copper coinage."
It is reported that two mints were functioning at Singhana and Khetri towns up to 1869, when the British closed them.
Though regular mining ceased in this area by 1872, sporadic mining activity continued till 1910. With the advent of 20th century, the geologists of Geological Survey of India carried out preliminary geological work without much success. With the basic geological information in hand, Jaipur Mining Corporation entered the fray in 1944, carried out surface exploration through 4 diamond drill holes and did some aditing in the area. After holding the lease for 10 years till 1955, discouraged by the results, they wound up the programme of exploration and mining.
Geological Survey of India began systematic regional and detailed geological mapping of the area. Indian Bureau of Mines carried out detailed exploration in the area through diamond drilling from surface and exploratory mining. The decision to proceed with the development of Khetri Copper mine was taken in 1962 and National Mineral Development Corporation Ltd. (N.M.D.C.) had started shaft sinking and mine development activities in 1964.
When Hindustan Copper Ltd. (H.C.L.) was formed on the 9th November 1967, the project was transferred to HCL to develop mining-cum-metallurgical unit. Khetri and Kolihan mines were developed by HCL in late 60s and experimental ore production started in early seventies.
Geology: The rocks in the Khetri district belong to the Delhi super-group of pre-Cambrian age, which is sub divided into the Alwar and Ajabgarh groups. The older Alwar rocks are derived from predominantly arenaceous sediments, while the younger Ajabgarh rocks were originally of a more argillaceous nature. The transition between the two being gradational these formations are metamorphosed to quartzites, schists and phyllites. Some intrusive dolerite dykes are present, and veins of quartz and carbonates are common.
The general strike of the formations is NNE-SSW with steep to gental dips towards the WNW. The economic mineralisation which gives rise to the orebodies is mainly localised in the upper parts of the amphibole-chlorite quartzite and garnet- amphibole-chlorite quartzite/schist. The mineralisation occurs in the form of veins, veinlets, stringers and disseminations ( rarely massive), oriented in general parallel to the foliation plane.
In Khetri mines there are two distinct ore lodes, namely the Madhan (or foot wall ) lode and the Kudhan (or hanging wall) lode. The Madhan lode is fairly persistant, containing a number of ore lenses. The Kudhan lode , on the other hand, is narrower, poorer in copper, and the lenses are less persistant. It is well formed in the central part of the mine.
The Banwas copper deposit ( Banwas Block of Kheter Copper Mine ) forms the north extension of Khetri Block and constitutes the segment extending over a strike length of the deposit in 1.20 Km.
MALANJKHAND COPPER PROJECT
Malanjkhand is the biggest base metal (Copper) Open pit Mine in India located at a distance of 90 kilometers North-East of Balaghat In Madhya Pradesh, at an altitude of 576 MRL. It falls in the tahisil of Baihar, which is 22 Kms away from the project, on the way to the district town, Balaghat MP, India Pin 481116.
Government sanction for the Project was obtained in June 1977 and stripping operation started in August 1979, after the first shovel was commissioned and haul roads and shovel faces constructed. The mine at full production capacity will remove 11.5 million tones of overburden and waste rock, to recover 2 million tones of chalcopyrite ore of average grade 1.2 cu per annum. A total of 22.6 Km of diamond drilling in 91 bore holes has been carried out till September 1978 to explore ore reserves upto a depth 376 MRL
