1. LIMESTONE
A reserve of 579 M tonnes has been proved by drilling to a
depth of 105 meters. Other deposits are 0.26 M tonnes at
Khonggoi and 1.88 M tonnes at Hundung . All these
deposits taken together are expected to be able to feed a
cement plant of modest capacity of 200 tonnes per day for
about 45 years. But the present installed capacity is only
50 TPD (tonne per day).
