Reports of mining in Goa date back to several centuries. There are reports that Jains living in Cudnem used to extract gold in Goa. Though by early 1700’s Portuguese stated iron ore mining in Goa, was not brought to the notice of the world for fear of invasion by others. However, tribe known as Dovolos, based in Navelim and other areas of Salcette extracted iron ore through the entire Portuguese period. After the World Wars as demand soared for the reconstruction mining really took off. When Goa liberated in 1961 around 800 mining permissions were granted.

The early mining in Goa was like other places were entirely manual by using pickaxes and shovels. Women and children used to carry the mines to bullock cart and then were transported to jetty to Boats or ships at Mormugao port. Later the mining became mechanized, larger, quicker, and more efficient. Explosives instead of pickaxes were used. Tracks replaced bullock carts followed by mechanized unloading and loading at Mormugao. Today, machinery within mines is becoming bigger. Trucks carry from 10 tons to 25 tons. Rail and closed conveyors are being considered as alternative transportation options. Capacity of barges has gone from 600 tons to 2,000 tons.
