Summary:

Roida-C Iron & Mn Mine is located in Keonjhar District of Odisha.

Joda-Barbil area in Keonjhar District of Odisha has vast reserves of high quality Iron and Manganese ore. Joda-Barbil 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).

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).
