Step-by-step explanation:
Gold: The Kolar Gold Fields in Kolar used to be one of the major producers of gold in India, before it shut down. Presently the gold mines of Hutti and Raichur produce almost 84 per cent of the country’s gold. The other major centers of gold mining are Dharwad and Chitradurga. The gold mines produce about 3,000 kg’s of gold per annum. The district of Raichur is also famous for its silver deposits.
Limestone: It is another important mineral with an estimated 51,000 million tons. Karnataka has the largest limestone reserve in India. The districts of Gulbarga, Bagalkot, Belgaum, Shimoga and other Uttara Kannada districts are endowed with extensive high grade limestone. The present and consistent production of approximately 14 million tonnes provides for the cement plants in these districts.
China clay (kaolin) consisting dominantly of kaolinite is one of the most sophisticated industrial minerals with a host of applications, viz., in ceramics, refractories, paper coating, filler for rubber, insecticides, cement, paint, textiles, fertilizers and others including abrasives, asbestos products, fibreglass, chemicals, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, electrical ware, foundry and glass.
The Department of Mining and Geology through their past investigation campaigns in parts of Kerala,identified two major china clay zones viz., the southern china clay zone between Thiruvananthapuram and Kundara (Thiruvananthapuram and Kollam districts) and the northern china clay zone between Kannapuram Madayi -Cheruthazham in Kannur district to Nileswarm - Manjeshwaram in Kasargod district. An estimated reserve of 172 million tonnes (probable reserve of 80 million tonnes and possible reserve of 92 million tonnes) of china clay of sedimentary and residual origin has been arrived at.
Kerala china clay is one of the finest quality clay and is world class. In fact, Kaolin marketed by English Indian Clays Ltd. (EICL), Thiruvananthapuram claims to have similar or even better properties compared to imported clays.
