3) India exports a fairly large amount of ferrous minerals.
4) These minerals provide a strong base for the development of matallurigical industries.

Ferrous Minerals: Ferrous minerals account for about three fourths of the total value of the production of metallic minerals. They provide a strong base for the development of metallurgical industries. India exports substantial quantities of ferrous minerals after meeting her internal demands. Non-ferrous Minerals: India’s reserves and production of non- ferrous minerals is not very satisfactory. However, these minerals, which include copper, bauxite, lead, zinc and gold, play a vital role in a number of metallurgical, engineering and electrical industries. Let us study the distribution of copper and bauxite. Conventional Sources of Energy:
