The Jaduguda Mine is a uranium mine in Jaduguda village in the Purbi Singhbhum district of the Indian state of Jharkhand. It commenced operation in 1967 and was the first uranium mine in India. The deposits at this main were discovered in 1951. As of March 2012, India only possesses two functional uranium mines, including the Jaduguda Mine.

Gujarat, Tamil Nadu and Rajasthan are surplus Salt producing States accounting for about 96 per cent of the country’s production. Gujarat contributes 76 per cent to the total production, followed by Tamil Nadu (12 %) and Rajasthan (8%). The rest 4% production comes from Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, Orissa, Karnataka, West Bengal, Goa, Himachal Pradesh, Diu & Daman. The main sources of salt in India are sea brine, lake brine, sub-soil brine and rock salt deposits. Sea water is an inexhaustible source of salt. Gujarat is blessed with the longest coastline of 1600 km. in India, offering important resources such as salt and marine products for industry. Close to 60% of this is produced in Little Rann of Kutch. Little Rann of Kutch is a 5183 sq.km land mass having dual characteristics of saline desert and wetland.

The metallic manganese on earth is rated as the 12th most abundant element in the lithosphere, estimated around 28.46 ×1018 tonnes or so i.e., 0.1087% by proportion of weight. Thus it almost becomes a scarce one, so far as its deposits are concerned. Industrially manganese metal is a vital component of steel and its major use is for the metallurgical purpose. The 96% of global production of manganese today is from barely 7 countries viz. CIS, RSA, Brazil, Gabon, Australia, China and India in decreasing order of tonnages raised annually. Orissa occupies second place in terms of reserves and first place in respect of manganese production in the country. In Orissa bulk of the manganese ore production comes from Keonjhar, Sundargarh, Koraput. Kalahandi and Bolangir districts, where it is associated with quartzite, garnet and schist.
