Metalliferous Mines Regulations 1961


The Metalliferous Mines Regulations came into force from 11th March-1961, replacing both the Metalliferous Mines Regulations-1926 and the Mysore Gold Mines Regulations-1953. The previous regulations were sketchy in nature and contained only vague provisions since they had been framed when the metalliferous mining industry was still in its infancy. They were considered inadequate to meet the requirements of a fast developing mineral industry.

The provisions in the new regulations are similar in nature to those in the Coal Mines Regulations – 1957, with necessary modifications to suit the working conditions prevalent in the metalliferous mines.

In general, the regulations deal with matters of a technical nature providing for precautions to be taken for the prevention of possible dangers.
