SAIL gets environmental clearance for biggest iron ore mining project

13 Apr 2011 Evaluate

Steel Authority of India Ltd has finally obtained environmental clearance for the McLellan Iron Ore Mining Project, exclusively for Budhaburu lease, having the largest reserves (1,166.14 million tonnes) among the Chiria group of mines in Jharkhand. The capital cost of the project is Rs 1,243.33 crore and environmental protection measures are to cost Rs 41.30 crore. The annual recurring expenditure for environment protection is put at Rs 4.91 crore. The project is crucial for SAIL's long-term raw material security as the reserves are expected to last at least 150 years.

The Chiria group of mines, a legacy of IISCO, merged with SAIL since April 2005, remains largely untapped and has over 2 billion tonnes of reserves, considered the largest single hill iron deposit in Asia. The mine lease has since been transferred to SAIL. The proposed McLellan mine area falls in the in the core area of Saranda teak forest and Singhbhum Elephant Reserve of Jharkhand.
