India’s leading state owned miner NMDC has signed an agreement for collaborative research with Council of Scientific & Industrial Research’s Institute of Minerals & Materials Technology Bhubaneswar on Feasibility Studies for Preparation of Fused Magnesia from Kimberlite Tailings that is available and accumulated over the years at Panna Diamond Mines. The research agreement aims to study the processing and preparation of fused MgO and TiO2.NMDC operates the only mechanized diamond mine in Southeast Asia at Panna in Madhya Pradesh. This mine produces around 10 carats of diamond per 100 tonnes of Kimberlite processed, which is dumped as waste after recovery of diamonds. Kimberlite tailings are used for development of value-added products and are also known to be a good source of caustic magnesia.
