Abstract. Mining plays a vital role in the economic development of many countries. The emerging economies are now major players in the production and availability of key commodities such as copper (70%), bauxite (40%), iron ore and precious metals. Mining also has a positive impact on the economy of many countries.

Mining and associated smelting and metal processing activities have led to perturbations in the cycling of metals in the surface environment. In this context, iron-ore mines act as important sources of major metals, mainly Fe and Mn, but also associated trace metals into the environment (Ratha and Venkataraman 1995; Wong 1981; Zabowski et al. 2001).

Though the hardness value of quartz (i.e. 7 on the Mohr's scale) is a bit higher than the iron ore (Hematite (5.5-6.5), Magnetite (5.5-6), it is far more brittle than iron ore (Gribble, 1988).
