INTRODUCTION TO GOLD COMPANY Gold mining has been part of some of the greatest achievements in history,from early NIZAMS time. Gold sparked off the cultural & heritage revolution. At the close of 20th century, it was gold revolutionizing the way we live and are the material of choice for countless products for this millennium. The gold industry has an important role to play in the development of any industry of a

nation. It is a critical intermediate for the industrialtion and the strength for gold smith. The turn of the century saw the Indian gold industry reaching a stage of development determined largely by the economic policies. These policies have led to the decontrol of the gold industry and most other sector of the industrial economy. The gold sector in particular saw a series of reforms starting with removal of licensing control, disbanding of pricing and distribution controls, discontinuation of gold development fund.,withdrawal of freight equalization fund and removal of trade restriction on imports along with progressive reduction in tariff rates. In India the Hutti Gold Mines company Ltd is the only mine and producer of Gold.

COMPANY HISTORY This mine is probably one of the ancient metal mines in the world dating to the pre-Ashoken period. Carbon dating of the old timber collected from old workings indicated about 2000 years of ancient mining activity. Between 1887 and 1920 nearly 7.40 tons of gold was recovered from very rich ore at an average yield of 19 grams per ton. Most of the ore was from the main mine which was worked by Hutti (NIZAMS) gold mine, an of shoot of Hyderabad (DECCAN) Company. The main mines were up to a depth of 1056mts. The industry was closed down in 1920 due to technical difficulties and the First World War.

In 1937 the Nizams decided to prospect the area with a view to response the mines. In 1940 based on favorable exploratory results, it was decided to install a plant to treat 100 TPS per day. But before the plant could be commissioned, mining operation was suspended from 1942 to 1946 due to second world war, the mine was shut down and only pumping was carried out.

After the war, the Hyderabad gold mines company Ltd was found in1947 and regular mine production started in September 1948 at the rate of 130 tons per day. By 1972 this was progressively increased to 600 tons per day. In the year 1999 increased to 910 tone per day. With abolition of gold control at commencement of new mines policies HGML was in a position to greatly expand its activities. It was proposed to increased production from 2.6 lakhs tones of ore per annum to 5 lakhs tones of ore pre annum after completion of the modernization and expansion programme by introducing mechanized mining & latest CIP treatment process technology from the year 2000 to 2001.

COMPANY PROFILE Hutti Gold Mines Company Limited (HGML), Government of Karnataka Undertaking (Established in 1947 as Hyderabad Gold Mines), has the unique distinction of being the only producer of primary gold in the country. HGML has been active in the exploration, development and exploitation of gold deposits occurring in Karnataka.

processes the ore from Hutti Mine and two satellite mines at Uti (opencast) and Hira-Buddinni (Exploratory underground mine). Geology & Reserves Hutti is located at Latitude 16 12 N. Longitude 76 43 E. The Hutti Gold Deposit is located in the Hutti-Maski Pre-Cambrian greenstone belt. The auriferous lodes occur within the metaba salts and are gold quartz sulphide lodes, which are confined to laterally and depth persistent shear zones. Gold occurs in native state and is generally associated with quartz veins and also with sulphide minerals viz., arsnopyrite, purrhotite and pyrite as inclusion, fracture filling and also replacement in microscopic and submicroscopic particles. Localization of gold mineralization is litho logically and mainly structurally controlled and the ore shoots have typical geometric pattern of distribution. There are nine parallel lodes exposed on the surface, of which six lodes are being mined. The Hutti deposit extends for about 4 km strike length and the width covered by all the parallel lodes is about 1.5 km. The parallel lodes have a general strike of NNW SSE and dips ranging from 600-700 due West. The strike length covered by the present mining is 1.4 km and the proved and probable ore reserves up to the present mine depth of 846 m are 6.76 million tonnes at 5.27 g/t grade. The immediate northern and southern extensions of Hutti mines also have good potential and detailed exploration by drilling and exploratory mines development is in progress on the extensions of New East Reef, Strike Reef, Zone-I Reef, Middle Reef and Oakleys Reefs.

INDUSTRIAL PROFILE While exploration and mining can sometimes be conducted by individual entrepreneurs or small business, most modern-day mines are large enterprises requiring large amounts of capital to establish. Consequently, the mining sector of the industry is dominated by large, often multinational, mostly publicly-listed companies. . However, what are referred to as the mining industry are actually two sectors, one specializing in exploration for new resources, the other specializing in mining those resources. The exploration sector is typically made up of individuals and small mineral resource companies dependent on pubic investment. The mining sector is typically large and multi-national production from their mining operations.

Miners today do more than just dig tunnels in the Earths subsurface. There are many different jobs, direct and indirect, in the mining industry, ranging from engineers and lab technicians to geologists and environmental specialists. Beyond employment directly linked to mine-site activity, the modern mining industry also employs many other professionals, including accountants, lawyers, sales representatives, public relations specialists, not to mention thousands of men and women involved, who manufacture the machines and equipment necessary to mine minerals.

VALUE Like other precious metals, gold is measured by troy weight and by grams and when it is alloyed with other metals the term carat is used to indicate the amount of gold present, with 24 carats being pure gold. The purity of a gold bar can also be expressed as a decimal figure, known as the millesimal fineness, such as, 0.995. The price of gold is determined on the open market, but a procedure known as the Gold fixing in London, originating in 1919, provides a twicedaily benchmark figure to the industry.

Historically, gold was used to back currency in an economic system known as the gold standard in which one unit of currency was equivalent to a certain amount of gold. As part of this system, government attempted to control the price of gold by setting values at which they would exchange it for currency. For a long period the United States government set the price of gold at $20.67 per troy ounce but in 1934 the price of gold was set at $35.00 per troy ounce. By 1961 it was becoming hard to maintain this price, and a pool of US and European banks began to act together to defend the price against market forces. But on March 17, 1968, economic circumstances caused the collapse of this gold pool, and a two-tiered pricing Scheme was established whereby gold was still used to settle international accounts at the old $35.00 per ounce ($1.13/g) but the price of gold on the private market was allowed to fluctuate: this two-tiered pricing system was abandoned in 1975 when the price of gold was left to find its free market level. Since 1968 the price of gold on the open market has ranged widely, with a record high of $850 on 21st January 1980, slumping to a low of $252.90 on 21st June 1999 (London Fixing). Increased demand has led to price rising to the $310 mark in 2008. PRODUCT PROFILE: Gold has long considered one of the most precious metals, and its value has been used as the standard for many currencies (Known as the gold standard) in history. Gold has been used as a symbol for purity, value, royalty, and particularly roles that combine these properties. The primary goal of the alchemists was to produce gold from other substances, such as lead-presumably by the interaction with a mythical substance called the philosophers stone. Although they never succeeded in this attempt, the alchemists promoted an interest in what can be done with substances, and this laid a foundation for todays chemistry. Their symbol for gold was the circle with a point as its center which was also the astrological symbol, the Egyptian hieroglyph and the Chinese character for the sun. The price of gold is determined on the open market, but a procedure known as the Gold Fixing in London, originating in 1919, provides a twicedaily benchmark figure to the industry.

Production is the basic activity of all industrial units. All other activities revolve around this activity. The end product of the production activity is the creation of goods and services for the satisfaction of the human wants. The production activity is nothing but the step-by-step conversion of one form of material into another either chemically or mechanically. This is done in factories which house manufacturing processes. The basic input of the production processes are men, machines, plant, and methods. An organization capabilities and the intent are strongly reflected in the product it manufactures. The manufacturing competencies and facilities echo truly, the R&D extent and the ability to implement it for the best of the market it targets. The product of mine is used as raw materials on which the processing is done to create or enhance the form utility. It should note that the finished product of one manufacturing unit does not always furnish a readymade product for the ultimate consumption. In a chain of manufacturing activities, the finished product of processor sometimes become the raw material (or component) for the other manufacturing firms falling next in the sequence. HGML Company has world class manufacturing facilities having to extract the Gold as well as finished product will be completed through the manufacturing process. MINING AND TREATMENT HGMLs production has steadily increased over the years. In this process, HGML has been able to develop much needed. Technological expertise in the field and prepare itself to take new challenges of growth and development. Over the years, the Company smelting leading to increased competitiveness of its operations. HGMLs operation starts with mining of Gold ore. The use of bulk mining methods viz, large Diablast, Hole stepping and sub-level mining have achieved higher safety and productivity. The ore is Crushed ground to very fine Powder. The Grinding output is subjected to Cyanidation and CIP (Carbon in Pulp) process, where Metallic Gold leaches and gets adsorbed on activated carbon.

Gold is recovered through two routes: Gravity Concentration Leaching, CIP, Elution, Electro winning Process and there after smelting to produce Saleable Gold Bullion Bar.

The Brief Description about the Mineral Treatment Plant:ROM is of -8 size is crushed to -10 mm size in three stages. In the first stage, there are three nos of KueKen Jaw Crushes which act as primary crusher and reduces the ore to -2-1/2 of size stored in 200MT. In the second stage, 3 standard Simon cone crusher acts as secondary crusher and reduces the ore to 1 size. To ease out the load on the Simon cone crusher a vibrating screen with 1 aperture size is used. The secondary crusher product along with screen underflow stored in a 400 MT capacity intermediate bin for further crushing. In the territory stage, there are two nos of short head and two nos of 4 short head Simon cone crushers. These crushers opening are set at 10mm size and they are in close circuit with vibrating screen. The final product from crushing plant i.e. -10mm size is stored in a 1500 MT capacity fine ore bin for subsequent treatment i.e. grinding. The Milling/Grinding process of gold Ore in Hutti employs two distinct grinding techniques. In the first technique, grinding is done in two stages, i.e. Primary grinding and Secondary grinding for further the communition and one 8dia*16 long primary mill and three nos of 5-1/2 dia*22-1/2 long tube mills constitute one stream of grinding in which pebble and smaller size balls are used as composite grinding media. In the first technique, two such streams are there and strake tables are used to collect coarse Gold as concentrate for this circuit. PG Studies VTU, Belgaum
18

HUTTI GOLD MINES COMPANY LIMITED

In the second technique, Grinding is done by four ball mills of different sizes i.e. 9*8*, 8*10 and 9*12 and each of them are independent circuits in which larger sizes balls are used as grinding media and in these circuit Knelson concentrators are used to collect coarse gold as concentrate. In all the milling techniques, cyclones are in close circuit with the mills so as to get the required sizes (i.e. 80% passing 75 HM) for the subsequent treatment process. The concentrates collected from both the techniques are upgrade on James table and upgraded concentrate is roasted magneted and finally smelted into bullion buttons. The entire Cyclone overflows i.e. finely ground ore in the form of slurry from two stream of 1 technique and 4 stream of 2nd techniques join together in a distributor box from which finely grind ore in the form of slurry is fed to a high rate Thickner for thickening purpose. The thickened pulp (60% solid w/w) obtained from thickness are subjected to Cyanidation process in which cyanide accessible gold in slurry makes complexes with cyanide in presence of oxygen and dissolve in solution at high pts. To increase the oxygen potential of slurry H2O2 is added in addition to compressed air. These Cyanidation or leaching process is carried in a serried of mechanically agitated zones of agitators of different sizes i.e. 16*16, 20*20 and 11m*11.5m agitator. The cyanide leached pulp then fed to three nos of 1000 TPD capacity and one no 300 TPD which are parallel in circuit. The objective of CIP plant is to absorb dissolved gold in activated carbon from the solution. The Gold loaded carbon is removed from CIP plant periodically, selected to acid alkali washed and then eluted in 4 nos of elution columns with 1.0% NAOH and 0.1% NACN solution qt 95*c for a period for 75 hours. The solution is then passed through 4 nos of electro winning cells in which gold is deposited on steel wool cathodes. The gold loaded steel wool cathodes are manually removed periodically, subjected to acid digestion, drying and smelted to obtain Bullion buttons. The bullion buttons thus obtained from table concentrators and steel wool are cast in to Bullion and then Dispatched for sales.

Grinding Mill Capacity: 1950 TPD The milling/Grinding process of gold ore in Hutti employs two district grinding techniques. In the first technique grinding is two stages i.e. one primary mill and 3 nos. of secondary tube mills constitute one stream of grinding. Two such streams are there. The discharges of these mills are passed on strake table spread with blankets which recover coarse gold by gravity process, and system is in close circuit operation. In the second technique, single stage grinding is done in four nos. of independent ball mills in close circuit with cyclone classification system. The mill discharge is passed through Knelson concentrators to recover the free gold. The stake tables concentrate and Knelson concentrate is further upgraded on James table to produce smelt able grade of gold.

Cyanidation and carbon in pulp process (CIP): The cyclone overflow from both the techniques is subjected to thickening in a High rate thickener to remove excess water, which is passed through a series of carbon column to recover dissolved gold. The thickened pulp of specific solid content is mixed with cyanide for leaching in a series of mechanical agitators at alkaline media. To facilitate leaching hydrogen peroxide assisted with compressed air is used to improve oxygen potential in circuit. The cyanide leached pulp is sent to carbon-in-pulp (CIP) unit, agitated with activated carbon in suspension. The dissolved gold is then absorbed on carbon as sodium auro cyanide. The gold loaded carbon is removed from the CIP periodically and carbon is washed with water and given acid and alkaline treatment.

Working capital management is concerned with all decisions and acts that influence the size and effectiveness of working capital. The goal of working capital management is to manage each of the firms current assets

and current liabilities in such a way that an acceptable level of networking capital is maintained. The important aspects of working capital are: Determining the requirements of working capital. Financing the requirements and Efficient utilization of requirement of working capital. Working capital management involves taking decisions regarding: The need to invest funds in current assets The amount of funds to be invested in each type of current assets and their relative proportion. The proportion of long term and short term funds to finance the current assets and To finance these current assets through appropriate sources of funds. The term working capital management means managing the firms current assets and current liabilities in such a way that, it will help to reach the organizational goals. Current Assets: Its referring to those assets which in the ordinary course of business can be, converted into cash within one year without undergoing a diminution in value and without disrupting the operations of the firm. The major current assets are cash, marketing securities, accounts receivable and inventory. Current Liabilities: These are those which are intended, at their inception to be paid in the ordinary course of business, within a year, out of the current assets or earnings of the concern. The basic current liabilities are accounts payable, bills payable, bank overdraft and outstanding expenses. The interaction between current assets and current liabilities is the main them of the working capital management. Because if the firm cannot maintain a satisfactory level of working capital, it is likely to because PG Studies VTU, Belgaum
41

HUTTI GOLD MINES COMPANY LIMITED

insolvent and may even be forced into bankruptcy. The current assets should be managed efficiently in order to maintain the liquidity of the firm.

Concepts of Working Capital Management: 1. Gross working capital: The term gross working capital refers to the firm's investment in current assets. This includes cash, short term securities, debtors (accounts receivable book debts bills receivable) and stock (inventory). 2. Net working capital: The term net working capital refers to the difference between current assets and current liabilities. Working capital will arise when assets exceed current liabilities and a negative working capital will occurs when liabilities are in excess of current assets. Net working capital is a qualitative concept. It indicates the liquidity position of the firm and suggests the extent to which needs may be financed by permanent sources of funds. Need for Working Capital: The need for working capital to run the day to day business activities be over emphasized. Every firm should aim at maximizing the wealth of its shareholders. In this case a firm should earn sufficient return from its operations. Earning a steady amount of profit requires successful sales do not convert into cash instantaneously. Working capital categories into: 1. Fixed or permanent working capital

PG Studies VTU, Belgaum

42

HUTTI GOLD MINES COMPANY LIMITED

The need for current assets arises because of the operating cycle. Operating cycle is a continues process and, therefore the need for current assets is felt constantly. There is always a minimum level of current assets, which is continuously required by the firm to carry on its business operations. This minimum level of current asset is referred to as permanent or fixed working capital.

2. Fluctuating or temporary working capital The change in production and sale, leads change in working capital. For example: Extra inventory of finished goods will have to be maintained to support the peak periods. On the hand investment in raw material work in progress and finished goods will fall if the market is slack. The extra working capital needed to support the changing production and sales activities called fluctuating or temporary working capital. Permanent and temporary working capitals are necessary to facilitate production and sale through the operating cycle, but temporary working capital is created by the firm to meet liquidity requirements. The permanent working capital line need not be horizontal if the firms requirement for permanent capital is decreasing over a period. Objective of working capital: To ensure adequate liquidity of a firm To minimize the risk and The contribution to the maximization of firms value.
