NMDC signed a Research Agreement with Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research organization Australia for research collaboration in the field of complex iron ore processing by energy efficient dry processing techniques. The agreement was signed by Dr Narendra Kumar Nanda, Director, on behalf of NMDC limited and Mr Keith Vining, Group Leader, on behalf of CSIRO in the presence of Shri N Baijendra Kumar, IAS, CMD, NMDC Limited on the 28th May 2018. On this occasion Dr. T.R.K. Rao, Director; Shri P.K. Satpathy, Director; Shri Sandeep Tula, Director and other senior officials from NMDC and CSIRO were also present.

A one day work shop on “PROCESSING OF COMPLEX GOETHITIC IRON ORES” was organized jointly by NMDC and CSIRO Australia in the premises of NMDC R&D Centre, Hyderabad on 29th May 2018.

The work shop covered various technical aspects ranging from Iron Ore Characterization, Geometallurgy, Beneficiation and Agglomeration processes.

The speakers from CSIRO Australia delivered technical talks on cutting edge technologies in iron ore exploration to processing including inputs on processing of hydrated iron ore like goethite. About sixty delegates from various organizations like NMDC, JSW, SAIL, MECON, BARC and IIT Hyderabad attended the one day work shop organized during the Diamond Jubilee year of NMDC.
