Supplementary notes: Iron ore Belts in India Odisha-Jharkhand belt: In Odisha high grade hematite ore is found in Badampahar mines in the Mayurbhanj and Kendujhar districts.
In the adjoining Singbhum district of Jharkhand haematite iron ore is mined in Gua and Noamundi.
Durg-Bastar-Chandrapur belt lies in Chhattisgarh and Maharashtra.
Very high grade hematites are found in the famous Bailadila range of hills in the Bastar district of Chhattisgarh.
The range of hills comprise of 14 deposits of super high grade hematite iron ore.
Iron ore from these mines is exported to Japan and South Korea via Vishakhapatnam port.
Ballari-Chitradurga-ChikkamagaluruTumakuru belt in Karnataka has large reserves of iron ore.
Kudremukh deposits of Karnataka are known to be one of the largest in the world.
The ore is transported as slurry through a pipeline to a port near Mangaluru.
Maharashtra-Goa belt includes the state of Goa and Ratnagiri district of Maharashtra.
Though, the ores are not of very high quality, yet they are effi ciently exploited.
Iron ore is exported through Marmagao port.
Bauxite deposits in India Aluminum is obtained from Bauxite.
Bauxite deposits are formed by the decomposition of a wide variety of rocks rich in aluminum silicates.
Aluminium is an important metal because it combines the strength of metals such as iron, with extreme lightness and also with good conductivity and great malleability.
India’s bauxite deposits are found in the Amarkantak plateau, Maikal hills and the plateau region of BilaspurKatni.
Odisha was the largest bauxite producing state in India with 34.
97 percent.
Panchpatmali deposits in Koraput district are the most important bauxite deposits in the state.
