From this call with a Tata Executive whose name is not clear, it is evident that Radia is very much into prospecting for minerals outside India also and she is in active touch with the Tata executives about it. But what is intriguing is that the Income Tax authorities who tapped her telephone, in one of the secret documents which was put out on this site, in May 2010, suspects her of getting into mines business herself. The later conversations with Jeh(as part of this Tata series) throws some more light as well as throws up more questions.
