The first step toward getting a Mining License (ML) to begin operations at a gold mine in Andhra Pradesh has reportedly been taken by state-owned NMDC Limited.
NMDC tweeted that it had begun the process of getting a mining lease and completing the ML deed in order to begin mining operations at the Chigargunta-Bisanatham Gold Mine Block in the Chittoor District of Andhra Pradesh.
The Gold Mine block is a first of its sort for the firm in terms of utilising its knowledge for a multi-mineral approach and underground mining operations, according to NMDC‘s Chairman and Managing Director Sumit Deb in a tweet.
Quoting NMDC sources, reports said the firm is in the process of calling Expression of Interest for appointment of a Consultant for obtaining Mining Lease and Mining Deed.
