Muva nje, i-NALCO imemezele ukuthi isayine ngempumelelo isivumelwano sezimayini sesikhathi eside nohulumeni wesifunda sase-Orissa, iqashisa ngokusemthethweni amahektha ayi-697.979 emayini ye-bauxite etholakala e-Pottangi Tehsil, esifundeni saseKoraput. Lesi sinyathelo esibalulekile asiqinisekisi nje kuphela ukuphepha kokuphakelwa kwempahla engahluziwe yezindawo zokuhluza ezikhona ze-NALCO, kodwa futhi sihlinzeka ngosekelo oluqinile lwesu layo lokwandisa lesikhathi esizayo.

 
Ngokwemibandela yokuqashisa, le mayini ye-bauxite inamandla amakhulu okuthuthuka. Umthamo wayo wokukhiqiza waminyaka yonke ufinyelela kumathani ayizigidi ezi-3.5, okulinganiselwa ukuthi izinqolobane zifinyelela kumathani amangalisayo ayizigidi eziyi-111, kanti isikhathi esibikezelwe semayini yiminyaka engama-32. Lokhu kusho ukuthi emashumini eminyaka ezayo, i-NALCO izokwazi ngokuqhubekayo nangokuzinza ithole izinsiza ze-bauxite ukuze ihlangabezane nezidingo zayo zokukhiqiza.

 
Ngemuva kokuthola izimvume ezidingekayo zomthetho, imayini kulindeleke ukuthi iqale ukusebenza maduze. I-bauxite embiwayo izothuthwa ngomhlaba iyiswe endaweni yokuhluza i-NALCO e-Damanjodi ukuze kuqhutshekwe nokucubungula ibe yimikhiqizo ye-aluminium yezinga eliphezulu. Ukwenziwa kahle kwale nqubo kuzothuthukisa ukusebenza kahle kokukhiqiza, ukunciphisa izindleko, futhi kuzuze izinzuzo ezengeziwe ze-NALCO emqhudelwaneni wemboni ye-aluminium.

 
Isivumelwano sokuqashisa sezimayini sesikhathi eside esisayinwe nohulumeni wase-Orissa sinomthelela omkhulu ku-NALCO. Okokuqala, iqinisekisa ukuzinza kokuhlinzekwa kwenkampani ngezinto ezibonakalayo, okwenza i-NALCO igxile kakhulu emabhizinisini ayisisekelo afana nocwaningo lomkhiqizo nokuthuthukiswa kanye nokwanda kwemakethe. Okwesibili, ukusayinwa kwesivumelwano sokuqashisa kunikeza indawo ebanzi yokuthuthukiswa kwekusasa le-NALCO. Ngokukhula okuqhubekayo kwesidingo se-aluminium emhlabeni wonke, ukuba ne-bauxite ezinzile nesezingeni eliphezulu kuzoba enye yezinto ezibalulekile ukuze amabhizinisi emboni ye-aluminium aqhudelane. Ngalesi sivumelwano sokuqashisa, i-NALCO izokwazi ukuhlangabezana kangcono nezidingo zemakethe, yandise isabelo semakethe, futhi izuze intuthuko esimeme.

 
Ngaphezu kwalokho, lesi sinyathelo sizophinde sibe nomthelela omuhle emnothweni wendawo. Izinqubo zezimayini nezokuthutha zizodala inqwaba yamathuba omsebenzi futhi zikhuthaze ukuchuma nokuthuthukiswa komnotho wemiphakathi yendawo. Khonamanjalo, ngokukhula okuqhubekayo kwebhizinisi le-NALCO, izophinde iqhubekisele phambili ukuthuthukiswa kwamaketanga ezimboni ahlobene futhi yakhe i-ecosystem ye-aluminium ecosystem yemboni egcwele kakhulu.
