Memoirs Of Geological Survey Of India - Volume 101
Studies On Mineralisation In The South-Eastern Part Of The Singhbhum Copper Belt. Bihar.
By P.R. Sen Gupta (Geologist)
Published By Order Of The Government Of India: 1972
"This authoritative Geological Survey of India memoir presents a detailed scientific investigation into the mineralisation of the south-eastern sector of the Singhbhum Copper Belt in Bihar, one of India's most historically and economically significant metalliferous regions. Authored by P. R. Sen Gupta and issued as Volume 101 of the Memoirs of the Geological Survey of India in 1972, the work synthesises stratigraphy, metamorphism, and structural geology with a focused analysis of ore-forming processes. The study examines the geological controls governing copper, sulphide, and associated mineral deposits, placing particular emphasis on shear zones, vein patterns, and the structural evolution of the belt, supported by rigorous field observations and petrographic evidence.
The volume is illustrated with detailed plates, geological maps, cross-sections, and diagrams that document mineralised zones such as Mosaboni and Surda, making it a substantial technical reference rather than a general overview. Issued under government authority, it reflects the mature phase of post-Independence Indian geological research aimed at both academic understanding and resource development. This work will appeal especially to economic geologists, mining historians, collectors of Geological Survey publications, and researchers with an interest in Indian copper belts and Precambrian mineralisation.
