Monazite is a reddish-brown phosphate mineral containing rare earth metals. It occurs usually in small isolated crystals. Monazite is an important ore for thorium, lanthanum, and cerium. It is often found in placer deposits. The deposits in India are particularly rich in monazite. The DAE expects to gather at least a million tonnes of thorium from the beaches of Kerala and Orissa, which hold 70 percent-plus of India’s estimated monazite reserve of 18 million tonnes.

Over 97 per cent of total recoverable reserves of chromite have been found in Odisha. Orissa is the leading producing State of chromite, accounting for 99% of the total production. Production of chromite in Karnataka, Maharashtra accounts for the remaining 1% production. Chromite deposits of Sukinda and Nausahi ultramafic belt of Orissa constitutes 95% of the country’s chromite resources. Here chromite occurs as concentration and dissemination in the ultramafic rocks, in the form of lenses, pockets, thin seams and stringers. Sukinda, Sarubali and Sukrangi are all located in Cuttack district.
