On Going Exploration


Exploration

The iron deposit lies in the Hupsekot Rural Municipality-5 Nawalparasi District, Gandaki Province, Nepal Preliminary, follow up and detailed exploration works of hematite deposit in Dhaubadi-Pokhari area of East Nawalparasi district has conducted since last 10 years. This area lies about 20 km north from East-West Highway.
The hematite mineralization zone was traced within the extension with channel, chip and grab samples. DMG had explored the deposit with diamond drilling in 2073/074 around Pokhari area in two locations with drilling depth of 105 m.

The prior focus for establishment of iron industries in Nepal based on Dhaubadi Iron deposit, DICL has allocated the budget for conducting Exploration drilling and feasibility study of iron project. DICL is conducting 1300-meter core drilling in 5 drill hole with Physical testing and chemical analysis of core sample.


Major objective of Drilling are:

  • Subsurface strata exploration and correlation with surface data for reserve estimation.
  • Quality assessment of subsurface Hematite Band.
  • Geotechnical assessments for Both surface and underground mining
