Non-ferrous minerals are minerals that do not contain iron in appreciable amounts and are not magnetic. These minerals are valuable for their industrial, electrical, and chemical applications, and are widely used in the production of metals such as aluminum, copper, lead, zinc, and manganese. Unlike ferrous minerals, non-ferrous minerals are resistant to corrosion, lightweight, and have high conductivity, which makes them crucial for manufacturing, construction, and technological industries. India is endowed with a significant variety of non-ferrous minerals, distributed across different regions due to its diverse geological formations. One of the most important non-ferrous minerals is bauxite, the primary ore of aluminum. Major bauxite deposits are found in the states of Odisha, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Jharkhand, and Madhya Pradesh. Odisha holds the largest reserves, particularly in the Koraput and Kalahandi districts, making it the leading contributor to India’s aluminum production. Bauxite is primarily used in the production of aluminum, which finds applications in transportation, packaging, construction, and electrical industries due to its lightweight and corrosion-resistant properties. Copper is
