Our focus

India

Odisha

India’s leading mining state and home to many of the country’s largest iron ore deposits.

Mine blocks

We are pursuing new and existing mine blocks to develop and operate for their owners, from first clearances to steady production.

How we work

How the MDO model works

  1. Approvals

    The MDO supports the owner through mining plans, environmental clearances and the permits a block needs to open.

  2. Development

    The mine is built: site preparation, access roads, infrastructure and the first benches.

  3. Mining

    Daily operations, including drilling, blasting, excavation and haulage, run to agreed production targets.

  4. Dispatch

    Crushing, screening and dispatch are handled so the owner receives finished product ready for sale.

The owner keeps the mine. The MDO brings the equipment, people and operating know-how, and is paid for the tonnes it delivers.
