CM Majhi inaugurates resumption of operations at Dubuna iron ore mine

ODISHA Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi on Friday kicked off the resumption of operations at the Dubuna iron ore mine in Keonjhar district.

He also suggested that the Odisha Mining Corporation (OMC), which owns the mine, diversify its activities by adding value to the minerals available in the state.

The Dubuna iron ore mine under Barbil tehsil of Keonjhar district was opened decades ago but was abandoned later.

After the resumption of operations, the mine is expected to produce three million tonnes of iron ore besides 0.05 million tonnes of manganese annually. Dubuna mine has reserves of 25.77 million tonnes of iron ore and 2.6 million tonnes of manganese, officials said.

The chief minister also launched power supply to the Tiring Pahar mine and Rengalbeda RR colony in Barbil area.

Additionally, a 900 KW peak solar power plant was also inaugurated by the chief minister in Koida mining area.
