Report of a lecture delivered by Valentine Ball at the Colonial and Indian Exhibition on 5 June 1886, surveying the known mineral resources of India and the recently annexed territories of Burma and considering their commercial development. The subsequent discussion emphasized inadequate mining regulations, resulting in a resolution urging the revision of mining laws throughout British India, Burma and the princely states.
