2841. DR. VINOD KUMAR BIND:

Will the Minister of MINES be pleased to state:

- (a)  the  details  of  projects  currently  being  funded  under  the  National  Mineral Exploration Trust (NMET) for systematic geological exploration including State-wise distribution, mineral categories covered and the stage of progress in each project; (b)  whether  the  Accredited  Mining  Engineer  and  Geoscientist  Institutions  (AMEI) framework  has  resulted  in  measurable  improvements  in  exploration  quality, reporting  standards  and  private-  sector  participation  and  if  so,  the  assessment thereof; (c) the steps taken by the Government to expand advanced geoscientific surveying in order to improve the discovery of critical and strategic minerals; (d)  whether the  Government has plans to propose to introduce capacity-building programmes or technological grants for State Directorates of Geology and Mining
- (DGMs) to strengthen their exploration capabilities; and
- (e)  if so, the details thereof along with the support envisaged?

## ANSWER

## THE MINISTER OF COAL AND MINES (SHRI G. KISHAN REDDY)

(a) National Mineral Exploration and Development Trust (NMEDT) has funded 216 mineral  exploration  projects,  details  along  with  the  State-wise  distribution  and minerals covered are given at Annexure .

(b) The Accredited Mining Engineer and Geoscientist Institutions (AMEI) framework is  not  followed  by  Ministry  of  Mines.  The  Quality  Council  of  India  -  National Accreditation Board for Education and Training (QCI-NABET) provides accreditation to  private  exploration  agencies,  which  are  thereafter  notified  by  the  Central Government  as  Notified  Private  Exploration  Agencies  (NPEAs)  following  due process.  41  private  exploration  agencies  have  been  notified,  strengthening  the exploration ecosystem.

(c) The Ministry has adopted advanced technologies such as ground and airborne geophysical  surveys,  Magneto-Telluric  (MT)  Surveys,  Deep  Seismic  Reflection Surveys  (DSRS),  Drone  based  magnetic  surveys,  AI/ML  and  3D  predictive modelling etc. for improving the discovery of critical and strategic minerals as well as concealed and deep-seated deposits.

(d) & (e) The Ministry has undertaken several initiatives for the capacity building of State Directorates of Geology and Mining to strengthen their exploration capabilities. Accordingly, 35 projects amounting to ₹93.02 crore for the procurement of machinery, equipment etc. and 117 exploration projects amounting to ₹189.57 crore of the State Governments and their PSUs have been sanctioned by NMEDT. Further,  to  encourage  the  State  Governments  for  strengthening  their  capacity  in minor mineral exploration, provision has been made to provide a matching grant to the extent of 10% of annual collection by the State Governments in the State Mineral Exploration Trust.
