Gold Dore Processing

Gold is produced at some mines as part of the process of mining and refining other metals, such as copper. At those operations, gold is refined to an acceptable purity as part of the copper production process. At most gold mines, the gold "dore" is sent to a refinery for further processing


The most common means of recovering gold is the Cyanidation process.
Cyanidation involves the leaching of ore in a strictly controlled alkaline cyanide leach
solution, after which the gold is then re-dissolved and subsequently smelted into doré bars that are shipped to the refineries.
The doré bars are further refined to become as close to pure gold as possible, in the form of gold
bullion bars. They are then given 'good delivery status', the international standard for quality,
providing assurance that they contain the quantity and purity of gold that has been stamped on them

The process is very simple which starts from the procurement of whole spices sent to the grinding process where mixing is also carried out.

What makes it a lucrative business for an entrepreneur is a high probability of generating
increasing profits by maintaining quality and competitive price as the product has vital standing

STICON 2010

COIMBATORE: The State government is taking steps to ensure that industrial development is not affected by the global economic slowdown, Deputy Chief Minister M.K. Stalin said here on Sunday.
Inaugurating the State-level convention of Small and Micro Industries (STICON 2010) organised by the Tamil Nadu Small and Tiny Industries' Association (TANSTIA) and the Coimbatore District Small Industries' Association (CODISSIA), he said the gvernment continued to provide benefits for industrial development. It was also taking steps to manage the power shortage, and had ensured peaceful industrial relations.
The State Government's budgetary allocation for the micro, small and medium-scale enterprises (MSMEs) during the last four years was Rs. 282.79 crore and for 2010-2011, it was Rs. 98.26 crore. Subsidies given to these industries during the last four years under different schemes were Rs. 83.73 crore.
In 2010-2011, it was Rs. 56.14 crore.
The State gvernment announced the MSME Policy in 2008. Till 2006, the State had 78 estates and by 2011 it would increase to 108, providing employment to 2.24 lakh people.

There were 6,774 units in these estates. The units produced goods worth Rs. 11,433 crore for the domestic market and exports were to the tune of Rs. 3,112 crore. Revenue to the State gvernment from the units in the estates was Rs. 1,80 crore.
Till March 2010, there were 6.31 lakh MSMEs registered in the State, employing 43 lakh people.
These had invested Rs. 26,136 crore.
In the Industrial Policy announced in 2007, the State gvernment said 20 per cent land would be earmarked for MSMEs in the new SIPCOT Industrial estates.

The benefits would start reaching the industries soon.
The gvernment would study the demand for uninsterrupted power supply to the MSMEs and also whether they would be affected by the power tariff hike.
minister for Rural Industries Pongalur N. Palanisamy said entrepreneurs were interested in starting business in the State because of availability of skilled workers, educated youth and infrastructure.
Chairman and Managing Director for National Small Industries Corporation H.P. Kumar said the corporation had signed agreements with 10 banks to help the MSMEs get bank credit for their business.

Additional Chief Secretary, MSME Department, P. Selvam, urged the units to improve production.
Principal Secretary to the Government, Industrial Development, Rajeev Ranjan, said the Business Facilitation Bill was waiting for the President's consent. This would help the industries get quick approvals.
Chairman and Managing Director of SIDCO N.S. Palaniappan said the State would soon have about 120 industrial estates.

Mushroom Cultivation

Mushrooms for rural prosperity

Continuing education gets low priority in many universities. The TNAU, however, does things differently. One of its sought-after study modules deals with mushroom cultivation. M.J.Prabu discovers a promising formula for growth.
TO CREATE more awareness about different types of mushrooms, their cultivation techniques and their bio potentialities among the student community, the Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Coimbatore (TNAU), has been doing pioneering work in the field of mushroom cultivation, research, training and extension since 1942.
According to G. Doraiswamy, Director of Extension Education, TNAU, Coimbatore "TNAU has been organising one-day training programmes since 1987 on mushroom cultivation for students. The training fee is Rs.100 per person."

A distance education programme of six months duration is also made available by the Directorate of Publications, TNAU. The course fee for joining this programme is Rs. 3,000, and it is specially designed for students.

"During the course period, three personal contact programmes are organised. Each personal contact programme will be held for two days — mainly Saturday and Sundays," says Prof. Alagesan.
Teachers who have specialised in mushroom production will conduct theory-cum-practical class for these contact sessions. Students must have passed their SSLC to be eligible to apply. The medium of instruction is Tamil.
According to Prof. Doraiswamy and Prof. T. Marimuthu in charge of conducting these courses, so far, 256 such programmes have been conducted and more than 20,000 people have been trained. In addition, skill-oriented training programmes of five days and 10 days duration are also conducted on request.
For these programmes, individuals are charged Rs. 2,500 and Rs. 5,000 respectively. This department also supplies test tube cultures and mushroom seeds including mother spawn and bed spawn to the growers. According to Prof. Alagesan, the course content covers `Kalan Valarpu'. It deals in detail the role of mushroom in integrated farming system, present status and future scope, varieties suited for culture, production of seed spawn and other commercial spawn production techniques."

Points to Ponder

The payments due to the MSMEs, for the supplies effected by them to the automobile industry alone, is claimed to be around Rs 2,000 crore-Rs 3,000 crore
MSMEs consumed about 30-35 per cent of the key raw materials such as copper, zinc, aluminium and steel.
The price of copper zoomed from $6000/tonne to $9100/tonne within a period of a month in July-Aug 2008 in the international market and taking cue from it, domestic producers also hiked the rates, which left the consuming industries at a huge cost disadvantage as the domestic industries could not absorb the increase in prices
70-80 per cent of the components needed by the major industries were supplied by the micro and small enterprises
