Abstract

Abstract The occurrence of bauxite analysing between 45 to 55 per cent alumina is recorded at several places along the West Coast of Mysore State. Bauxitic concentrations are restricted to certain patches and zones in laterite which occurs as a cover over detrital clays of Tertiary age. The bauxites are siliceous with silica content ranging from 5 to 10 per cent. The deposits have the advantage of being located close to sources of hydroelectric power. Preliminary investigations have indicated a reserve of 2.5 million tons.
