Summary:

Daitari Mine is located within the Daitari Greenstone Belt.

The Daitari Greenstone Belt (DGB) is part of the Singhbhum Craton, located in northeastern India. The belt consists of a pile of volcano-sedimentary strata with a thickness of approximately 7 km. It belongs to the Badampahar Group and is unconformably overlain by the Mahagiri Quartzite. The Badampahar Group comprises several main formations, including the Kalisagar Formation (ultra-mafic volcanics and pillow basalts), Talpada Formation (felsic volcanic and volcaniclastic rocks), Sindurimundi Formation (clastic sedimentary rocks), and Tomka Formation.

The Tomka Formation is consists primarily of banded iron formation (BIF), which is made up of finely laminated hematite and magnetite, intercalated with jasper and chert bands. The BIF is considered to be one of the oldest sub-amphibolite facies BIF known to date. The mineralization within the Daitari Greenstone Belt includes hematite and magnetite, which are key components of the banded iron formation.
