Rajpura Dariba

Overview:

The underground Rajpura Dariba (RD) Mine is one of our oldest mines, which commenced operations in 1983. The lead-zinc mine is accessed via decline, main shaft, and auxiliary shaft. We are in the process of augmenting the production capacity to 2.0 Mtpa >> 4.0 Mtpa. The capacity enhancement will be achieved through the introduction of two new portals for upper east and north lode, through further mechanisation and automation.

FY 2021-22 was a stepping-stone for Rajpura Dariba mine’s capacity expansion on multiple fronts. Ore production witnessed an increase of 3.1% y-o-y, while mined metal production increased by 2.6% y-o-y.

Background Information

Rajpura Dariba Mine is an underground mine, commissioned in 1983. It is located about 75 kilometres north-east of Udaipur, in the state of Rajasthan in India and is well connected with roads.

Process Description

Mining:

Mining is carried out using the Blast Hole Stoping method with mined out stopes backfilled with cemented tailings.

Processing:

The ore is crushed underground before being hoisted to the surface. It is then crushed again and milled before undergoing a flotation process, to produce the concentrate.

Zinc and Lead concentrates produced are transferred to our smelters.
