Abstract: India is the third largest producer of manganese ore in the world. The countries most important ore deposits are Syngenetic, epigenetic and lateritic. Supergene enrichments associated with the first two groups. On the basis of mode of occurrence and association with different kinds of country rocks, the Indian manganese ore deposits have been classified as Gondites, Kodurites and Laterite. Indian manganese ore deposits occur mainly as metamorphosed bedded sedimentary deposits associated with Gondite Series (Proterozoic) of Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Gujarat, Odisha and with Kodurite Series (Archaean) of Odisha and Andhra Pradesh and Proterozoic sedimentary manganese deposits of Penganga group Adilabad district of Telangana. The subject area is a part of the Proterozoic terrain of Sausar Group of rocks consisting ofmarble, Calc-granulites, schists,quartzites, gondite etc. The general strike of the ore body is NNW-SSE with dip of 75° towards south.The environmental aspects are being monitored regularly and seasonally by an environmental laboratory. As such the portability of air is fresh and unpolluted in this area.
