Physiographically Joda- Barbil area is a part of the Middle Mountainous realm of Odisha with old and matured topography which exhibit rugged surface. Elevation of the region is varies between 150 to 600 meter above the MSL. The area falls in the Survey of India toposheet No. 73F/8. This area is a part of the Jharkhand-Odisha iron ore belt which runs along the northern border of Odisha (Jones, 1934). It stretches westward from Gorumahisani hills of Mayurbhanja district through Keonjhar and Sundergarh district of Orissa upto Singhbhum district of Jharkhand. The iron ore belt runs NNE-SSW direction in a horse-shoe synclinorium (Jones, 1934; Dunn, 1940; Dunn and Dey 1942; Acharya, 2005). The area has multiple approaches both by road and rail. NH-215 runs through the area connecting NH-5 at Panikoili and Rourkela in the other end at Rajamunda. The railway line linking Tatanagar-Nuamundi-Barajamda-Barbil is a part of the Howrah-Chennai rail link which provides connectivity to this area with the river port at Haldia near Calcutta. The other railway line running between Howrah and Mumbai, a part of which connects Banspani-DaitariParadeep. Haldia and Paradeep are respectively the riverine port and sea ports available on the eastern coast of Odisha.Structures and rock types of the area dates back to Pre-Cambrian era with vulcanism in sequence (Murty and Acharya, 1975, Saha 1977). The Pre-Cambrian volcano-sedimentary rocks of the area comprise gritty quartzite, volcanics and tuffs, banded iron formations and shale (Sarkar and Saha, 1962, 1963, 1977, 1983; Prasad et al., 1964; Chatterjee and Mukherjee, 1981; Saha, 1994; Mukhopadhyay, 2001).The Banded Iron ore Formation is the host rocks of the huge iron ore deposit and lower manganiferous shale is hosting the high grad manganese ore (Jones, 1934; Dunn, 1940; Dunn and Dey 1942). Iron ore mining activities started in Odisha in the year 1904, after discovery of Iron ore deposits in Gorumahisani and Badampahad region (Bose, 1908).
