Minerals play a key role in the development of any country. The deposition of mineral resources, conservation and optimal utilization for industry has always been a burning issue worldwide. Looking into the vital role of minerals in the development of any state, country and the need for proper utilization, it has now become mandatory to explore, to extract new sources of minerals which could be utilized for better production and prove beneficial for the industry. Madhya Pradesh is endowed with mineral resources. The richness of this state in minerals namely iron-ore, manganese, limestone, bauxite, rock phosphate, dolomite etc and its fertility behavior, has triggered the search for new potential areas for production of good quality ore. In this paper, an attempt has been made to study behavioral analysis of iron and silica in iron ore deposits of some areas of Bijawar and Mahakoshal regions of M.P. state. In all, samples of 8 areas of Bijawar and Mahakoshal are specified, wherein deposits of iron-ores are analysed, interpreted chemically as well as geologically. The quality of the ore is deduced and graded as per the specifications of IBM standard. A comparative analysis of iron-ore deposits of both Bijawar and Mahakoshal region reveals that iron ore deposits in Bijawar region could be more likely opted for making quality steel of market value but use of Bijawar?s iron ores can act as a sweetener to upgrade the uniformly low grade iron ores of Mahakoshal region.
