Turamdih Mine

Turamdih uranium deposit is located about 24km west of Jaduguda. This mine was commissioned in 2003. The entry into the mine is through an 8 degree decline which provides facilities for using trackless mining equipment like passenger carriers, drill jumbos, low-profile dump trucks etc. At a depth of 70m, the orebody has been accessed from the Decline by cross-cuts. A 260 metre vertical shaft with a double Drum Winder caters to hoisting of ore from deeper levels. The shaft has a change over facility for cage and skip. The mine employs modern trackless mining system. The principal method of mining is Horizontal Cut-and-Fill with Post and Pillar.
