Rajpura Dariba

Overview:

Rajpura Dariba (RD) Mine is one of our earliest ventures, operating underground via decline, main shaft, and auxiliary shaft. We are actively enhancing production from 2.0 Mtpa to 4.0 Mtpa. This augmentation is achieved through a new Mine opening for the upper east and north lodes, along with advanced mechanization and automation.

With a dedicated focus on boosting FY 2023-24 production to 2.0 Mtpa, RDM’s numerous production centers invest in elevating efficiency, productivity, and safety via strategic automation and mechanization initiatives.

Background Information

Commissioned in 1983, RDM is an underground operation situated 75 km northeast of Udaipur, Rajasthan. Its strong road connectivity adds to its strategic location.

Process Description

Mining:

Mining is carried out using the Blast Hole Stoping Method with cemented tailings mixed Hydraulic Filling and Paste Filling; Ore transportation through Skip hoisting and LHD-LPDT combination.

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.

Technology:

Monitoring and controlling of Main ventilation fan from Mine control room, continuous monitoring of critical parameter like flow and vibration, ensure the continuous operation of mine vent fan. Start/ Stop of mine vent fan from control room in event of emergency. Immediate text communication to all concern in case of emergency on/off.
