Chief Minister of Goa Pramod Sawant has announced that the process to set up the Goa Mining Development Corporation to resume iron ore mining in the state has already been initiated, as per latest reports. Meanwhile, the state’s Law Department has vetted an MoU signed between the Director of Mines and Geology and the Mineral Exploration Corporation Ltd to identify new iron ore mines in Goa.
