During the production of iron ore, Banded Hematite Jasper (BHJ) and Banded Hematite Quartzite (BHQ) are discarded as waste, which are low grade in nature. With a view to add value to the BHJ/BHQ hitherto mined as waste and also for mineral conservation, NMDC is contemplating to set up a Beneficiation plant for processing this low grade material to obtain BF grade concentrate suitable for pelletization. By taking into consideration of mineral conservation and fast depletion of high grade ores, NMDC's R&D Centre had carried out the beneficiation tests on lean grade BHJ/BHQ iron ore. The optimum process flow sheet and metallurgical balance flow sheet have been developed for BHQ ore of Donimalai Iron ore Mines (Karnataka) for commercial production setup. NMDC has started production of iron ore from the Donimalai Iron Ore Project from the year 1977. The mine is operating with a capacity of 7 million tons per annum. The mine has vast reserves of BHQ estimated at 18 million tons. Based on the R&D Centre process flow sheet, NMDC Ltd is setting up a 0.36 MTPA beneficiation plant to produce of 0.118 MTPA BF grade concentrate at Donimalai M/s MECON has submitted TEFR. Due Diligence Report by SBI Capital Markets is submitted. As the results obtained from the lean grade ores beneficiation of Donimalai Iron Ore mines are encouraging, R&D Centre has taken up the developmental studies on utilization of lean grade Iron ores (BHQ) from Bacheli complex and Kirandul complex. Preliminary beneficiation tests are yielding good results and confirmatory tests are under progress for developing the process flow sheets. ISO - 9000 Certification Regular internal quality audits and management review meetings were carried out for effective implementation of Quality management system. R&D Centre had acquired ISO certification in compliance to the new version of ISO 90012008 Quality management system.
1.2.2 Utilization of Kimberlite in Agglomeration of Iron ore: Project undertaken on utilization of kimberlite in iron ore Agglomeration:
G
The study on use of kimberlite in iron ore pelletization has been completed. It is found that kimberlite can be used as binder in place of Bentonite.

Geographically remote location of the projects acting as deterrent in attracting and retaining talent and also for reaching supplies and services. Delay in forest and environmental and other clearances affecting time schedules for opening and commissioning new mines and affecting our investment plans. Extreme foggy weather conditions causing stoppage of mining operations at Bailadila complex during monsoon months. The Company has not diversified into other sector. As such, any adverse impact on the mining sector hits the profitability of the Company. As a mining Company, NMDC is subject to extensive regulations surrounding health, safety of the people and environment. However, regulatory standards and community expectations are constantly evolving and as a result the Company is exposed to increased litigation compliance cost and unforeseen environmental remediation expenses apart from constraints in operations.
Opportunities and Threats Opportunities 1) Continue diversifying and expanding its mining activities and products: The company believes diversification and expansion of its mining activities and products fits well with its strategy of becoming an integrated producer of iron and steel and will enable it to better balance cyclical change in mineral prices and economic change as well as to grow its business. The company has applied for and has been granted mining leases for diamonds, limestone and magnesite. The Company also has acquired two coal blocks and is looking to diversify into other minerals including minerals used in fertilizer. 2) Expand and establish its presence as an integrated producer of iron and steel: The Company plans to expand and establish its presence as an integrated producer of iron and steel through selective value addition projects. The Company has signed an MOU with the state government of Chhattisgarh to develop a steel plant with a capacity of 3 mtpa at Jagdalpur, and also has plans to develop a steel plant in Karnataka. Furthermore, the Company completed the acquisition of Sponge Iron India Limited, a Company involved in the production of Sponge Iron. Through this acquisition the Company has ventured for the first time into the manufacturing area. In addition, the Company plans to develop two pellet plants at Donimalai and at Bacheli. 3) 4) Continue to be a low cost, efficient and environmentally friendly mining Company. Augment resources, improve infrastructure and enhance technology through joint ventures and commercial tie-ups - the company seeks to augment its resources and reserves, improve its infrastructure and enhance its technology through joint ventures and commercial tie-ups. Financial powers for investment in new projects as a Navaratna Company.

Threats
G
NMDC Limited
G
Intense competition from private sector in securing fresh mining leases, resulting in denial of leases in many cases and litigation delaying actions. Inability to secure additional reserves of iron ore that can be mined at competitive costs or cannot mine existing reserves at competitive costs, profitability and operating margins may be affected. Entry of MNCs and other Indian private companies into iron ore mining. The industry being cyclic in nature, NMDC is exposed to sharp fluctuations in demand for its products. The Company faces risks in respect of high inventory of stocks and its disposal.

The world economy is recovering from the recession and the Company anticipates strong growth in all parameters. 5. Risks and concerns The major risk NMDC is facing is the Maoists' attacks on and around its project at Bailadila on and off. Such attacks have made some impact on production which has affected the movement of ore from the Bailadila sector. The Company is in contact with the Government agencies for support and protection of its people and installations. The initiatives taken by the Government of Chhattisgarh and the Central Government are expected to find a solution to the risk at the earliest. The serious concern for NMDC in expanding its activities is the hurdle the Company is encountering in getting mining leases. All out efforts are being made to see that the Company gets the required mining leases for its expansion. The industry being cyclic in nature, NMDC is exposed to sharp fluctuations in demand for its products. The Company also faces risks in respect of high inventory of stocks and its disposal. 6. Internal control systems and their adequacy NMDC has put in place all the necessary internal controls and they are found quite adequate. 7. Discussion on financial performance with respect to operational performance. Details on financial performance with respect to operational performance are given in detail in the Directors' Report. However, for the year under review, the Company has achieved production of 25.16 MT of Iron Ore. In respect of diamond, the Company achieved production of 10865.93 carats. The Company has also recorded sale of wind power of Rs.4.48 crores for the year under review. On the financial performance, the turnover of the Company for the year under review was Rs.11368.94 crores. PBT for the year under review was Rs.9727.17 crores. PAT for the year under review was Rs.6499.22 crores. Net worth of the Company was Rs.19200 crores. The Company achieved excellent rating by MOU for the financial year 2010-11. 8. Material developments in Human Resources/ Industrial Relations front, including number of people employed. The employees of the Company have been dedicated and loyal to the Company. Though there has been attrition in certain disciplines, the employees in general have remained with the Company through thick and thin. On the part of the Management, it is ensuring all-round comfort levels to its employees, including the required training at all levels based on the need. It is worth highlighting that industrial relations have been cordial all along during the year. Any difference is sorted out through bipartite discussions at appropriate fora.

Claims against the company not acknowledged as debts consists of: Disputed claims under Property tax, Export tax, Conservancy Tax, Sales tax etc., Claims by contractors under arbitration Other claims on company not acknowledged as debts Uncalled liability on Shares partly paid : in Krishnapatnam Railway Company Ltd., Estimated amount of contracts remaining to be executed on Capital account Contingent liability on bills discounted under LCs/counter guarantees given for BGs Changes in Accounting Policies : During the year, the Company has revised the accounting policy on Inventory-Low grade Iron ore of Kumaraswamy. (Accounting policy no: B.5.8.1). Low grade Iron ore of Kumaraswamy mine is considered as part of production as against the earlier practice of not considering the same. Consequently, the earlier stocks are also considered as part of opening inventory. As a result, closing value of "inventoriesfinished goods-iron ore" has increased by Rs.10.79 crore. There is no impact on the profitability of the Company, as LG fines of previous year are valued during the year with royalty payable and an equal amount is provided for as royalty expenditure. Further, there is no production of LG fines of Kumaraswamy in current year. Consequent to the merger of Sponge Iron India Ltd with the Company, the Company has included in its accounting policy 'raw materials' as part of Inventory (B.5.5.3) and accounting policy on 'waste products' under Revenue recognition (C.1.1.3). During the year, the Company has modified its accounting policies on Payments under employees' family benefit scheme (C.2.2.1), Accrued leave salary (C.2.2.4) and other benefits (C.2.2.5) in view of transfer of its obligations towards non statutory employee benefits i.e. accrued leave salary, settlement allowance, post retirement medical facilities and family benefit scheme to NMDC employees' Superannuation Benefit fund Trust. This has no impact on the profitability of the Company. Due to the above, the deposits with LIC towards accrued leave salary Rs. 107.21 crore and Settlement allowances Rs.13.80 crore are transferred in the name of the trust. In addition, the funds held by the Company, towards Post retirement medical Rs.103.87 crore and family benefit scheme Rs.11.23 crore are transferred to the above trust on 30/03/2011. Further, the amount due to the trust as on 31/03/2011, on account of shortfall in the Post retirement medical facilities Rs. 18.33 crore and Family benefit scheme Rs.1.20 crore shown under "Other liabilities.". 123 45.23 6.06 34.77 2,347.18 34.39 52.12 1.25 26.12 13.75 395.08 8.92

Annual Report 2010-11 Directors Report for the year 2010 - 2011
To The Members J&K Mineral Development Corporation Ltd. Jammu. We have pleasure in presenting to you on behalf of the Board of Directors of the Company, the Twenty Second Annual Report of your Company for the year ended 31March, 2011. 1. Present Status: Demand of Dead Burnt Magnesia (DBM) in India has increased with the rise in production of steel in th country. Added to this, reduction in the export of DBM from China to various countries has resulted in the increase in price of various grades of DBM products. In view of this changed scenario action to set up the Panthal Magnesite Project has been revived. NMDC Ltd. submitted lease renewal application with Government of Jammu & Kashmir for Panthal Magnesite deposit for a further period of 20 years with effect from 02.01.2009 and also furnished an Undertaking in the shape of Board Resolution for transfer of the same to J&KMDC Ltd. after its renewal. The lease has been renewed in favour of NMDC with effect from the date of expiry of the present lease i.e. 11.01.2009 for a period of ten years and the Mining Lease has been transferred to J&KMDC on 10.01.2011 as per Mining Lease renewal order.
