classification of minerals

 So hello guys welcome back to my website so today we will discuss about metallic minerals such as iron ore and what is ferrous minerals so without wasting your time let get start

 India is fortunate to have fairly rich and varied minerals resources.  But these are Universal distributors.  Peninsular Rocks contain most of the reserve of coal,  metallic minerals,  mica and many non metallic minerals.  In gujrat and assam had most of The petroleum deposits.  The rock system of Peninsula Rajasthan has the reserve of many non ferrous minerals.  In North India the vast alluvial Plains are almost devoid of economic minerals.  This type of varition exced because the difference in geographic structures,  process and time involves the formation of minerals. So firstly we know that how many type of minerals there are , so minerals are mainly classified as three type that is metallic minerals, non-metallic minerals and energy minerals so today we will discuss about metallic minerals,  so here a question is generate in your mind that is what is metallic minerals,  so all the minerals that contain metal that is called metallic minerals,  like gold, silver , tungsten , e.t.c . Metallic minerals are also divided in to two types , ferrous minerals and non ferrous minerals , so firstly we will discuss about ferrous minerals so here examiners can make a very important question that is what is ferrous minerals so , the metallic minerals which contain iron are called ferrous minerals.  These minerals account for three fourth of total value of the metallic mineral. A fairly large amount of ferrous minerals was exported by India.  For the development of metallurgical industry these type of minerals are providing a strong base . The distribution of major ferrous minerals,  iron ore and manganese is 

Iron ore-- It is the basic minerals of industrial development , it is also known as the back bone of industrial development.  India has the abundant resources of good quality of iron ore.  The best or finest iron ore is called magnetite . It has up to 70% of iron contents . It has excellent quality of magnet, it is especially valuable for electrical industries.  After magnetite Haematite ore has good . It has 50 to 60 % iron . In the term of quentity used this iron is most important. 

Iron ore belt in India-- There are many iron ore belts in India but the major iron ore belt in India are Odisha - Jharkhand belt . There are high grade haematite ore is found in Mayurbhanj in Kendujhar district. Mine name - Badampahar mine. There is in adjoining Singbhum district of Jharkhand haematite iron ore is mines in Gua and Noamundi . According to data of 2016-17 Odisha has largest production in India. Durg-Bastar-Chandrapur belt in Bailadila ranges in Bastar district of chhattisgarh 16% of iron deposits of super grade haematite iron ore . It is one of the best physical property to make steel. Iron ore of this mine was exported to Japan and South Korea via Visakhapatnam port.                   Ballari-Chitradurga-Chikkamagaluru-Tumakuru Belt - It has largest reserve of iron ore . It is located in Western Ghat of Karnataka . They has 100% export unit and known as largest in the whole world.  The ore of this belt is transported by a help of pipeline to a port near Mangaluru. 

Maharastra-Goa belt It include Ratnagiri district of Maharashtra and goa . The ore for this belt is not very high quality so this ore can be efficiently used. The ore from this belt is exposed through Marmagao port.  So after discuss and get informed about iron ore we will discuss about manganese so without wasting your time  we should go. 

Manganese- It is a metallic element.  It is used in manufacturing of steel and ferro Manganese alloy.  About 10kg Manganese is used for making one tone of steel. It is also used in bleaching power,  paints e.t.c.  According to the data of 2016-17 Madhya Pradesh has the largest share in Manganese production in India that is 27 percent.     Note - Kudre In kannada means horses. Highest peak in the western Ghats of karnataka resemble the face of a horse . The Bailadila hills look like the hump of an ox , and hence its name. 

So today's topic is completed in next part we will discuss about non ferrous minerals so I hope this can be informative for you if yes then share with your friends.
