3 Mine, mine, mine! Goa s latest mantra of greed 27
4 The bloody trail of mining begins at the mine pits gouged out of the Goan earth, and follows the ore-laden trucks and barges to the ships at Mormugao port. 28
5 Fuelled by the need to feed the ravenous appetites of the industrial economies of China, Japan and Europe. 29
6 Control of the mining business is in the hands of a few big Goan industrial familes, including the Chowgules, Dempos, Salgaocars, Timblos, Agarwals, Kunda Gharses, etc. Most leases, however, are owned by individuals who contract the mining operations to the larger companies, in violation of the Mines and Minerals (Regulation and Development) Act. Mining in Goa is strip or open-cast mining. The first act of the mining agency is to remove the vegetation or the forest that grows on the lease. After the forest is removed (with the approval of the Ministry of Environment and Forests!), the top soil a fertile resource is removed and dumped. What is left behind is soil bereft of organic matter and therefore, life. Then the excavation begins. Goan ore is poor quality: for every tonne of ore, the agency must remove between 3.5 and 4 tonnes of waste material, dumped in huge mountains. These wastes are washed by heavy rains (more than 120 inches annually) into rivers. Here (left) an excavator removes mining waste from a river. (Above) Mining boards in forested areas. 30
7 Iron ore production in Goa has always been 100% exportoriented. The first export of 100 tonnes was in The figure rose to 1 million tonnes by 1954, 10 million tonnes by 1971, and million tonnes in the 1980s. Today, due to the demand from China, the quantity has reached 33 million tonnes! Goa s natural assets are being dismembered for relocation to China! Iron ore export volumes have risen dramatically over the years. 31
