IRL has acquired the Aravalli project which is an advanced exploration asset in a recognised zinc-lead-copper mineralised region with three operating mines. The project consists of two Reconnaissance Permits (RPs) in Rajasthan (North-Western India) including Relmagra, 1905 sq km area 50km north-east of Udaipur and Nasirabad, a 670sq km area 20km south-east of Ajmer.

The total strike length of the anomalous mineralisation trends within our Reconnaissance Permits amounts to a minimum of 50 km.

Relamagra RP
The Relmagra RP lies within the Bhilwara belt and comprises a sequence of metsedimentary units interlayered with minor felsic tuffaceous components and mafic sills, all metamorphosed to amphibolite facies grade. Lead-zinc deposits occur throughout the belt, hosted by calc-silicate bearing dolostones and graphite-mica shchist horizons.

The prominent feature of the Relmagra RP is the operating zinc-lead mine at Rajpura-Dariba in the centre of the lease, on an excised mining lease.

Nasirabad RP
The Nasirabad RP lies within the Delhi belt with the major deposits of Kayar and Rampura Agucha located 20km North East and 40 km South of the RP. These are lead zinc, but the main potential in the Nasirabad RP is copper as there are several known occurrences in close proximity, all appearing to be associated with the major shear zone that separates the Delhi belt in the northwest from the Bhilwara belt to the southeast.
