Which mineral is primarily mined in Gua and Noamundi of the Singbhum district of Jharkhand?
Haematite iron ore
Gua and Noamundi lie in the West Singhbhum district of Jharkhand, in the iron-ore belt that runs along the Chhota Nagpur plateau on the Jharkhand–Odisha border.
These are among the oldest and largest haematite iron-ore mines in India – Noamundi is operated by Tata Steel and Gua by SAIL – and their high-grade haematite (Fe2O3) feeds integrated steel plants at Jamshedpur, Bokaro and Rourkela.
Bauxite is concentrated in Odisha's Panchpatmali and in Chhattisgarh; manganese comes mainly from Balaghat and Nagpur; and mica from Koderma–Giridih of Jharkhand and parts of Rajasthan.
Hence, the answer is haematite iron ore.
