This link is several mines in India. About half way down is a photo of a mine near Chitradurga.

The 12 million tons referred to in the CFR Report imo was only quoted because it was a reference source to HISTORICAL activity. If you read the report it is NEIGHBORING leases which are (currently?) mining 64%fe. That suggests reference to these kind of current mining operations as seen in the links.
