GTC is a consortium formed in between JSC Trest Shakhtospetssroy (Belarusian state concern for oil and chemistry) and Germania Corporation Limited (a Bangladesh based company). GTC has been formed especially for the Management and Operation of the Maddhapara Hard Rock Mine in Parbatipur, Dinajpur. Trest has more than 35 years of mining experience in Belarus. Employer: Maddhapara Granite Mining Company Limited(MGMCL), Introduction: Maddhapara Granite Mining Company Limited (MGMCL), a company of Petrobangla under the Ministry of Power, Energy & Mineral Resources and Government of the People’s Republic of Bangladesh. Objectives: Maddhapara Granite Mining Company Ltd. Was established with multifold responsibilities of production of hardrock with daily production capacity of 5,500 M. tons from the underground mine, marketing & selling of the produced hardrock to different Government entities e.g. BBA, PWD, Roads & Highways, Water Development Board, Bangladesh Railway etc. Maddhapara Granite Mining Company Limited (MGMCL), a subsidiary of state-owned Petrobangla has been employed GTC to increase the production of hard rock and to get the maximum output from the quarry using room and pillar and sub-level drift stooping method. MGMCL has been signed a six-year-long contract with GTC worth US $171.86 million for the operation and development of the mine and over the period approximately 9.2 million tons of hard rock would be produced by GTC from the mine. Deposits of hard rock were discovered 136 metres under the ground by Geological Survey of Bangladesh (GSB) at Maddhapara and GTC will develop 12 new stopes in three phases. GTC will produce boulder rocks and crushed granite according to the increasing demand in the local market. Why Should We Use Maddhapara Hardrock: Quality of Maddhapara Hardrock is better than any other indigenous and imported stone. Life of Construction works will be longer. Minimize repair and maintenance cost of construction works. Price of Maddhapara Hardrock is most competitive compared to imported stone. Savings of valuable foreign currencies.

Depth of rock : 124 meter from the surface. 3. Reserve & mine area : Reserve in the mine area of 1.0 km × 1.2 km =1.2 km2 is 174 million tons 4. Point load strength : 24,000 PSI 5. Annual Production : 1.65 million tons. 6. Life of the mine : Project analysis based on 41 years (including development period) but mine operation life may be extended for more than 70 years. 7.

Ton Crushed (5-20mm) US$ 26.00 / M. Ton Crushed (20-40mm, 40-60mm) US$ 23.00 / M. Ton Crushed (60-80mm) US$ 22.00 / M. Ton Dust (0-5mm) US$ 05.00 / M. Ton + VAT (Fixed per M. Ton) US$ 0.90 Environment Preservation: The company is making a significant contribution to improve environment and ecological balance by replacing clay-burnt bricks in construction works. Present brick manufacturing not only causes damage to agricultural land but also causes deforestation due to indiscriminate use of fire-wood in brick-field and other purposes. This will significantly reduce production of bricks for construction purposes and thus held to check deforestation. The company has taken up necessary steps to preserve environment at the project site during its implementation project. The mine water are being examine regularly in order to prevent pollution of surrounding areas. Besides various gases which evolved due to blasting are measured by gas analyzer regularly. With the help of spraying and water using local fan, gases are diluted and eliminated as such miners are saved from any hazards. In line of the Government policy, 2818 nos. of different varieties saplings were planted in the mine area in order to keep ecological balance. Socio Economic Development of the Project Area: The following Socio Economic Development had been established because of the company: Up-gradation & completion of existing Phulbari – Maddhapara Road (13 km) by Roads and High ways Department. The work has already been completed. Bhabanipur – Maddhapara Railway line (14.5 km) construction by Bangladesh Railway. The Railway line has already been completed. Rangpur – Maddhapara – Barapukuria – Syedpur (about 70 km) 33KV Power Transmission line by Bangladesh Power Development Board (PDB). The transmission line has already been completed. Maddhapara – Mithapukur and Maddhapara –Badargonj Road upgrading and completion by Roads & High Ways. Roads are being implemented by Roads & High ways. The mining company will also contribute in creation of linkage industries, infrastructural facilities, direct and indirect job opportunities for overall socio-economic development of the mine area.
