Particulars of the Organisation, Functions and Duties
1.0. INCEPTION OF THE DIRECTORATE OF GEOLOGY & MINING
The circuit of economic growth of a State cannot be complete without the exploitation and utilization of its mineral resources. Basically, minerals are the feeders to all primary as well as secondary industrial development. Hence the Department of Geology & Mining was established in the year 1968, with a view to search, explore and develop these hidden natural resources for the economic development of the State. The Directorate of Geology & Mining is located at Dimapur.
1.1. INTRODUCTION:
The search for mineral deposit in the State of Nagaland had a very late start. Although the western part of the State was partly explored in early twentieth century mainly in connection with the search of ‘energy group’ of minerals, its middle and eastern parts remained completely unexplored till the inception of the State Directorate of Geology and Mining in late 1968.
Minerals so far discovered by the Department include petroleum and natural gas (proved by ONGC), nickel-cobalt-chromium bearing magnetite, limestone, marble, coal, clay, slate, dimensional and decorative stones. In addition to mineral investigation, the department also actively engages investigation for the development of Ground Water resources both in the plain as well as in the hilly terrain.
WHERE ARE OUR MINERALS FOUND?
As you have seen in the Map, the important mineral deposits are confined to:
(i) 3000 Sq.Km. of the hilly portion lying along Assam border for oil, gas, coal and dimension stones.
(ii) 1500 Sq.Km. of eastern high hills along Myanmar for high quality limestone, iron, nickel, chromium and possibilities of other costly metals and non metals.
(iii) 12000 Sq.Km. of Intermediate hills for dimension stones, clay etc.
(iv) Groundwater in alluvial areas and few selected places in the hills.
