VV Mineral Mining is a beach sand mining company founded in the 1980s that has grown to become a leading sand exporter. However, a former scientist raised concerns that the company was not properly handling monazite in its mines and operating without clearances. VV Mineral denied the allegations, stating it had followed all regulations over 20 years of operation. The company argued the allegations were an attempt to damage its reputation, and it has filed lawsuits in response that are pending in court.

4. Despite all these confirmations, former principal scientist at
Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute in Kochi raised his
concerns by stating, “Indian Rare Earth Ltd (IREL),
Manavalakurichi, uses the sand from the same area and produces
thorium, so what happens to the monazite in theVV mines? Does
the company follow the procedure recommended by the AERB?”
Further allegations were added that the mining was operated
without proper regulatory clearance.

have established a mineral separation plant and approached the
AERB for a license, which is awaited.”

All the allegations by IREL officials was thwarted as a setup to
