We are in the Mining Industry ever since its inception six decades ago and our mining activities included prospecting of Iron Ore, Manganese Ore and Bauxite Ore. The man behind the successful growth of our mining activities was late Mr. Shantilal Khushaldas Gosalia, the Founder and the Pioneer of the Gosalia Group of Companies.

Over the past two years, we have been concentrating on mining of Bauxite Ore from our mines locates ion South Goa (India), with an estimated deposit of 70 million tonnes of various grades. Our ore is being used by Aluminum Companies, Cement Manufacturers and Alum/Chemical Industries in India.

Apart from our indigenous clientele, whose off-take figures run into large quantities, we have, so far, exported Bauxite Ore to U.A.E., Japan, Europe, Hong Kong, Ukraine and lately to Iran.

Our exports are handled through the Port of Mormugao, Goa, India, which is one of the largest ports in India and a natural harbour. The distance from our mines to this port, by road, is about 55 kilometers. We are also nearer to Karwar Port, which is situated on the Goa Karnataka border and the distance from our mines to Karwar port is about 57 kilometers. The major two rivers of Goa, that is, Mandovi and Zuari meet the Arabian Sea and by virtue of this, our mines are in the proximity of the Arabian Sea. At the Port of Mormugao, we can load 40,000 tonnes to 60,000 tonnes at the berth provided the vessel is grab-fitted.

Unlike the situation that existed in the yesteryears, our mines are fully mechanized and we are fully equipped with various types of modern machineries like Excavators, Wheel Loaders, Wagon Drill, Dumpers, Vibrating Screens, Crushers, Conveyor Belts, etc., with a team of skilled personnel operating the machineries and with the facilities available at our disposal, we can produce large quantities of Bauxite Ore in the shortest possible time to cater to the needs of the end-product industries over the globe. Our deposits are homogeneous and gibbsetic ore requiring low temperature for digestion.

We are also equipped with a full-fledged laboratory with well trained Chemists / Geologists and a team of most experienced staff in the field of mining works.

Our grades are in the range of 45% to 47% 47% to 48% and 50% to 51%

The Bauxite Mines are situated in South Goa over an area of 1263.678 HA. with estimated reserves of 70 million tons. These are metallurgical grade bauxite which can also be used for various applications such as cement, alumina chemicals, etc. The mines are situated also in the close proximity of two major ports, viz. Marmugoa Port and Betul Port.

ANCESTRAL GOA, a miniature village depicting traditional Goan lifestyle and heritage and preserving Goa's fading past, situated at Loutolim, Goa, India.

From the dream of an artist to becoming a major tourist attraction, the project has come along way since 1995 when it was opened to the public. Today hundreds of tourists - national and international visit the place. Besides artists, students, teachers, nature lovers, environmentalists and others frequent the site often.

The artist Maendra Jocelino Araujo Alvares who is a son of the village of Loutolim has catapulted this idyllic village of rural Goa on the international tourism map. The entire project is fully owned by him. This private enterprise, is managed by his own trained staff who are natives of the village itself.

The Govt. of Goa has acknowledged the project as the "Most Innovative and Unique Project in India's Tourism Industry". The Education Dept. has also recommended it as a "Very Educative Centre" for students.

Also at ancestral Goa is SANT MIRABAI
INDIA'S LONGEST LATERITE SCULPTURE

This National Landmark captures Sant Mirabai singing devoutly to the almighty strumming on her ektara and measuring 14 metres by 5 metres.

This monolith was single-handedly chiseled by the artist Maendra Jocelino Araujo Alavres . Sculpted in Greco-Roman style from a vast expanse of laterite stone in August 1994 at Loutolim, Goa, in a record time of 30 days.

In the halo around devout Mirabai's head, one sees a tinge of Buddhist's influence but the kumkum on the forehead, the anklet, the patti on her wrists and the paizona around her ankles give the sculpture a characteristic Indian appeal. One also notices a particular type of ornament called fullam (flowers of gold) worn by the Goan Hindu women distinctly adorning Mirabai's head. A lotus and half sun on the ektara adds to the mystic of Sant Mirabai.

This work has been cited in the Limca Book of Records as the Longest Laterite Sculpture in India.

Next to Ancestral Goa is
CASA ARAUJO ALVARES
http://www.casaaraujoalvares.com

Casa Araujo Alvares stands testimony to 200 years of adaptation of colonialism to the main traditional structure. A wide stairway leads to a pillared portico "Balcao", where long cement seats recline in restful splendour.

Entrance of the Casa Araujo Alvares at Loutolim The wide, crested doorway leads to a short, wide corridor replete with a mirrored hat stand and a huge glazed jar. Two such jars adorn the household and are supposed to have been imported from China with sugar.

A study combined with a general sitting room pays homage to the renowned advocate Dr. Salvador Eufemiano Araujo Alvares. A bedroom with a canopied bed, dressers and the usual assorted pieces fill a room which is continued in mode everywhere.

A wide, low beamed room akin to an attic is led up to by a huge metal door. This room has gun holes strategically placed in defence against the dacoity of the Rane clan.

Study of advocate Dr. Salvador Eufemiano Araujo Alvares A wide, but small, room houses a beautifully painted altar. Clay angels guard the carved doorway to it.

The whole household has walls in painted design - modified to accommodate the need of colour and the age in which the work was done.

The grand hall has a floor of slatted wood, carved furniture and knick knacks lining the walls. A gilded mirror and carved chandelier vie for place of pride amongst the paned windows which overlook an open, lush garden.

View of the alter of Casa Araujo Alvares at Loutolim The stately dining room with its long dining table is flanked by buffets and walled pantries that store edibles for the table and the cutlery & crockery. An unusual sink fitted in the window still serves admirably for those who wish to avail of it.

A vast kitchen with huge firewood stoves, wide shelves and a huge store room, aside, leads to the 'Angonn' which was a very traditional little square built into the main frame. This is a small square garden which is surrounded on all four sides by the house. Fruit and vegetable trees abound here.

Flanking the kitchen, is a quaint bathroom with a niche built into the wall for firewood to be placed therein to heat the water for bath. This water was boiled in a huge copper vessel 'Tosta'. The adjoining toilet is typically goan as it used to be 'Au Naturel'. Raised platforms provided seats with outlets for the porcine livestock to clear the waste ! An oddity for sure but very common and very accepted.

The corridor adjoining the kitchen leads to a kitchen, bath, toilet and living accommodations for the hired help.

This house is open to visitors from 10.00am to 6.00pm - everday. For details contact the reception at "Ancestral Goa".
