    Karnataka
    Ores and Minerals
    Found in
    Uttarakhand
    and
    Karnataka
    Uttarakhand :
    • Uttarakhand State has a long and fascinating past of mining of minerals.
    Placer Gold, Copper and Iron ores have been extracted/mined in this
    part of Himalayan terrain on a very small scale over a hundred years ago

    • Prior to 1900, Copper ores were being mined on a very small scale in
    Garhwal division.

    • Important minerals that are found to occur in the State are high-grade
    limestone in Almora , Bageshwar , Dehradun, Nainital , Pauri-Garhwal ,
    Pithoragarh & Tehri-Garhwal districts
    • Magnesite and steatite in Almora, Bageshwar, Chamoli & Pithoragarh
    districts; and tungsten in Almora district.

    • Other minerals that occur in the State are asbestos in Chamoli


    district; barytes and marble in Dehradun district.

    • Copper in Almora, Dehradun & Pithoragarh districts, dolomite in


    Dehradun, Nainital and Tehri-Garhwal districts.

    • Graphite in Almora district; gypsum in Dehradun, Pauri-Garhwal &


    TehriGarhwal districts; lead-zinc and silver in Dehradun & Pithoragarh
    districts; and rock phosphate in Dehradun & Tehri-Garhwal districts.

    Karnataka :
    • The state of Karnataka is abundant in mineral resources. It is said to
    be one of the most mineral rich states of India. The mineral belt
    covers an area of 1.92 lakh sq.km including 29 districts of the state.

    • Karnataka is also endowed with the green stone belt with valuable
    mineral resources such as gold, silver, copper, iron-ore, manganese,
    limestone, dolomite, asbestos, bauxite, chromite, kaolin and granite
    rock.
    Gold: The Kolar Gold Fields in Kolar used to be one of the major
    producers of gold in India, before it shut down. The other major centers
    of gold mining are Dharwad and Chitradurga. The gold mines produce
    about 3,000 kg’s of gold per annum
    • Iron ore: Karnataka has over 9,000 million tonnes of iron ore
    resources, of which the bulk is in the magnetite form. The production
    during the year 2007-08 crossed 47 million tons. The districts of Bellary
    and Hospet are the main districts.

    • Limestone: It is another important mineral with an estimated


    51,000 million tons. Karnataka has the largest limestone reserve in India.
    The districts of Gulbarga, Bagalkot, Belgaum, Shimoga and other Uttara
    Kannada districts are endowed with extensive high grade limestone.

    •Granite: Karnataka has vast resources of granite deposits. These


    deposits have brought the state into the international scenario. The
    district of Mysore is famous for its black granite and the Bellary and
    Raichur is famous for its pink version.
    • Felsite: Karnataka is the only Indian state where felsite is produced. Large
    occurrences of Felsite rocks are reported to have been found in Kirangur,
    Hosahalli and Srirangapatanam and Mysore. These rocks display either grey or
    pink colour as well a combination of both theses colours.

    • Manganese ore: Karnataka has the largest recoverable reserves of


    manganese ore in the country. It is mostly found in the Chitradurga district.
    Shimoga and North Kanara district as well as the Bellary and Mysore districts
    are other places where manganese ore is found
