  • Recognized by Vasudeva Committee (Constituted by Government of India) for Systematic Mining
  • The Report of the Committee, published in 1965, significantly noted: "Although in the case of a large number of mines, the mining operations do not follow any concerted or well thought out plan of development, there are a few bright exceptions such as mines controlled by Manganese Ore India Limited, M/s. Sandur Manganese and Iron Ores Limited and a few other companies who have planned the lay-out of their mines in a systematic manner".
  • Recognized as a leading mining company in Karnataka
  • The findings of the Supreme Court-appointed Central Empowered Committee (CEC) and the Joint Team, for investigation of illegal mining, mentioned that, as long as SMIORE is concerned, is a matter of great satisfaction and re-assurance of its policy of “business with ethics and values.
