VV Minerals Is Far From Indulging In Illegal Beach Mining: S Vaikundarajan

Introduction: S.Vakundarajan’s VV Minerals has been dragged into a controversy that is fast spreading and enjoying attention across all media channels. The alleged illegal beach mining that was accidentally ‘discovered’ by a collector is at best an exercise in rival mud-slinging and no more.

S.Vaikundarajan’s VV Minerals is a mining company that has been a forerunner in the industry for nearly two decades and has never had a reason to turn to the ways of illegal beach mining.

Over the years of their functioning they have grown with the times and employed various eco-friendly processes that are beneficial to the surroundings of their mining areas as well as the process of mining itself.

Illegal beach mining is for those companies who do not have a standing and feel the need to resort to unethical practices. On the other hand VV Minerals has always been on the correct side of the law.

They have always maintained a great record and even won national, international and regional accolades for their quality, quantity and ideology of work.

On the basis of VV Mineral’s clean history, it seems almost absurd that the beach mining giant is now being pulled into an illegal beach mining scam at the hands of ignorant officials.

Vaikundarajan remains confident that his business rivals have come together and really applied themselves to bring to life a fictional scam.

After the AERB has cleared us and declared that we do not have the machinery or the expertise to process thorium legally or illegally, there remains very little reason for VV Minerals to be blamed for illegal beach mining.
