(1) Mining- It all begins with the Site Survey and Geological Benchmarking, where several rounds of Chemical Tests
and QA Tests are performed to make sure ore grade is commercially viable.
(2) , (3) & (4) - Once the quality of the ore is assessed Drilling and Blasting is carried out followed by transporting the
ore lumps to the crushing site by using excavators and wheel loaders.
(5) & (6) Crushing and Screening: The large blocks of Ore are crushed into small lumps. The Crushing takes place in
multiple stages like Primary Crushing, Secondary Crushing and Tertiary Crushing. After each Crushing Process there
is Screening Process to separate the specific order from Non-specific Material and few additives like Binding Agents
and Cleaning Agents are mixed in the process. In the final Stage of Screening i.e. Pre-Loading stage the Ore lumps
are segregated according to their sizes.
(7) Large Conveyor Belts are used to move Crushed Ore from Screening Plants to the stockyard and stocks are
being segregated based on the lump size. And later they are transported to port stockyard for shipment.
(8), (9), (10) & (11) loading: The Reclaimer or bucket wheel excavator is used to transport the ore stacks to SILOS
and then they are unloaded into freight trains.
