| 1990 |
 The
award was conferred to S/Shri Ravi
Kaul, Rajendra Singh, Sunil Kumar, Bikash
Sen Gupta and Late Rakesh Bhahuguna in recognition to their significant contributions made towards

AMD
bagged two National
Mineral Awards
One award was conferred to S/Shri R.M. Sinha,
T.N. Parthasarathy, and V.K. Srivastava in
recognition to their significant contribution made towards the
discovery of uranium deposit at Lambapur-Peddagattu,
Nalgonda District, Andhra
Pradesh. The Lambapur uranium deposit is the
first unconformity-type deposit
discovered in India and lies
in the Srisailam sub-basin of
the Cuddapah Basin.
The other award was conferred to S/Shri
K.K. Dwivedy, S.R. Shivananda, K.Viswamohan and K.B.
Mohanty in the Mineral beneficiation category. The
team developed a flow sheet resulting in more than 90% leachability of uranium
from its ores at Domiasiat, Meghalaya. The pug cure leaching process demonstrated at site on pilot scale,
for the first time in the country, that it is cost effective and ensures
optimum uranium recovery. |
