BRIEFING BOOK CENTRAL REGION (Updated till 31 st December, 2014)

1. INTRODUCTION The Central Region of Geological Survey of India was established on 1 st August,1967 with the Circle Offices at Madhya Pradesh (including the Circle Office of the present State of ) and having headquarters at and Pune respectively. The circle offices were mainly involved with the systematic geological mapping and assessment of mineral resources. At theRegional Headquarter specialised divisions like Engineering Geology, Map compilation, Geophysical investigation, Chemical Laboratory and Drilling were established. Central Region covers geographical area of 0.751 million sq km in the states of Maharashtra (3,07,713 sq km), Madhya Pradesh (3,08,150 sq km) and Chhattisgarh (1,35,195 sq km). Over the years, the Central Region has expanded its activities and set up its offices at Raipur, , Bhopal, Pune with the Headquarters in Nagpur. The activity was further expanded to Photogeology & Remote Sensing, Regional Integrated Survey, Quaternary & Environmental Geology and the Geodata Division equipped with LAN and WAN connectivity.

Geologically it represents: - Archaean Rocks, hosting a majority of mineral occurrences in Chhattisgarh, Maharashtra & Madhya Pradesh. - Proterozoic Rocks, including limestones and diamondiferous conglomerates of the Vindhyan in Madhya Pradesh. - Sequence, a storehouse for coal-lignite and refractory clays. - Deccan Continental Flood Basalts: Late Cretaceous-Early Palaeocene: lava flows covering Peninsular shield in Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra & Chhattisgarh and associated sedimentaries represented by Lameta and intertrappean beds. Geologically, the Central Region mainly comprises parts of the peninsula shield and coastal areas.

1.1 CHHATTISGARH Geologically, Chhattisgarh constitutes rock formations ranging in age from Archaean to Recent. East-West trending Central Indian Shear Zone (CISZ) separating the Northern Crustal Province (NCP) and the Southern Crustal Province (SCP) is an important and major tectonic feature of the Region. The oldest rocks in the NCP i.e. the granite gneisses and the enclaves of igneous and sedimentary rocks of Archaean age are confined to southern part of the Province forming the Bilaspur-Raigarh belt. Gneisses and granitoids exposed to the east of basin are designated as Chhotanagpur Gneissic Complex. Though the younger sequences of Upper Carboniferous to Lower Cretaceous Gondwana rocks are well developed in the Mahanadi and South Rewa basins, north of Baikuntapar in Surguja area, these two basins merge together. Lameta Group of rocks are exposed in the Amarkantak plateau region below the Deccan Trap. Remnants of Deccan Trap occur in the plateaus in the western and northeastern parts of Bilaspur District and southeastern and eastern part of . Laterite and bauxite pockets occur at Jamirapat and Mainpat in Surguja District and Phutka Pahar in . Quaternary alluvium is confined to major river valleys. Significantly the NCP is devoid of any volcano-sedimentary sequence and Proterozoic cover rocks, unlike the SCP. The SCP is an Archaean to Neoproterozoic assembly of lithotectonic packages comprising Archaean to Palaeoproterozoic Sukma, Bengpal, Bailadila and Sonakhan Groups, gneiss-granitoids and younger Meso- to Neoproterozoic cover rocks of Chhattisgarh, Indravati, and Pakhal Groups. Together they constitute the Bastar Craton. N-S trending Palaeoproterozoic volcanic rocks of Nandgaon Group extend westward in bordering Maharashtra. The Dongargarh granite and its equivalents in Madanbera and Kanker - Mainpur areas occupy major portion of South Central part of the state. Volcano sedimentary sequence of Khairagarh and Abujhmar Groups and sediments of Chilpi Group belonging to Palaeo-Mesoproterozoic unconformably overlie the older sequences and the granites in the Maikala Range and Abujhmar plateau region. The Mesoproterozoic Pakhal Supergroup of rocks occupy the Godavari valley region in the southwestern part bordering and Maharashtra. The Meso- to Neoproterozoic Chhattisgarh Group of Rocks occupy the central plains of Chhattisgarh region. The cover sediments of Indravati-Sabari-and Pairi Groups are equivalent of Indravati Group and occupy the Jagdalpur plateau. Rocks of kimberlite affinity, some of which are diamondiferous, intrude in to the Indravati and Khariar sediments and in the gneisses. Laterite and bauxite form cappings at number of places over these rocks in Keskal- Amabera areas. The state of Chhattisgarh is endowed with rich mineral wealth particularly the iron ore, coal, bauxite, limestone, tin and diamond. A wide range of mineral resources offering considerable opportunity for the entrepreneurs is found in the state. GSI is presently focusing its activities in the state for exploration of fertilizer minerals including rock phosphates.

1.2 MADHYAPRADESH Madhya Pradesh, as a part of the Central Indian Shield (CIS) contains the rocks ranging from Archaean to Phanerozoic age. The Central Indian Shield is divided into two broad tectonic domains i.e. the Northern Crustal Province (NCP) and the Southern Crustal Province (SCP)- by a long crustal scale curvilinear ENE-WSW trending ductile shear zone called Central Indian Shear Zone (CISZ) which continues from southwest of Balaghat to north of Bilaspur in Chhattisgarh. Son-Narmada-Tapti valley (SONATA) forms a major zone of tectonic activity in this region. The oldest litho-assemblage of Archaeans mainly consists of the gneissic complexes viz. Bundelkhand, Amgaon, Sidhi, Alirajpur, Betul and Tirodi Gneisses. The Palaeo to Neoproterozoic cover sediments are represented by Mahakoshal Group and Sausar Group covering parts of Balaghat and Chhindwara districts, Aravalli Supergroup of rocks in Jahabua District; volcano-sedimentary sequence of Betul belt; Nandgaon Group in ; Bijawar Group in Sagar, Chhatarpur and districts; Group in , Chilpi Group in Balaghat District and Vindhyan Supergroup of rocks cover parts of Sidhi, Rewa, Satna, Panna, Chhatarpur, Sagar, Bhopal Shivpuri and Guna districts besides the Dongargarh granites in Balaghat District. Late Palaeozoic-Mesozoic (200 - 100 Ma) sequences are represented by Gondwana Supergroup, Bagh Group and Lameta Group. The Gondwanas host many important coal fields in the Satpura region. Bagh Beds (100 Ma) in Dhar, Jhabua and Khargone districts is rich in faunal remains of bivalves, gastropods, ammonites and echinoids. The Lameta Formation preserves excellent vertebrate fossils including dinosaur remains and their nesting sites. Deccan Flood Basalt Sequences (DCFB) (Upper Cretaceous-Palaeogene), mostly comprising basaltic flows and associated sedimentary beds cover a major part of southern and western part of the state. Laterite cover of Cenozoic period occurs as capping on the high plateaus formed by Deccan Traps. All the bauxite deposits in the state have formed in the Cenozoic rocks. The Quaternary sediments of Narmada valley has yielded 500, 000 years old skull of Narmada man ( Homo erectus narmadensis) from Hathnora in . The state is blessed with bountiful mineral resources including Coal, Bauxite, Limestone, Dolomite, Rock Phosphate, Copper, Lead, Zinc, Manganese, Iron ores, Diaspore, Pyrophyllite and Diamond. More than half of the country’s manganese production comes from the state. The state is also bestowed with huge reserves of coal in Sidhi, Singhrauli, Shahdol, Umariya and Chhindwara districts. Presently, the diamond producing mines in India

are located in . Establishing resources for Copper deposits in Malanjkhand in Balaghta District has been the most significant contribution of GSI to the National Mineral Wealth. Prospects of base metals have been proved by GSI in recent years in the Betul Belt. Sizeable resources of gold associated with copper, silver and lead have also been established recently in the Imaliya Block of . A large economically viable reserve of Refractory, SMS and BF grade low-silica dolomite proved by GSI of Sagar and Chhatarpur districts is a boon to the iron and steel industries.

1.3 MAHARASHTRA Maharashtra exhibits a spectrum of stratigraphic sequences of rocks ranging from Archaean to Quaternary. The oldest Archaean gneisses, variously designated as Amgaon Gneiss, Bengpal Gneiss, Tirodi Gneiss and Peninsular Gneiss are well exposed in different parts of the state. The Archaean gneissic complex is unconformably overlain by the metamorphosed volcano-sedimentary rocks of Sakoli Group and banded ferruginous quartzite, metapelites, quartzites of Archaean to Palaeoproterozoic age. The 3000 m thick unfosiliferous plateformal cover sediments exposed along Godavari valley is classified into Pakhal, Penganga and Sullavai groups. Basic and ultrabasic rocks exposed in Sindhudurg District are considered to be an extension of the Chitradurga Group of rocks of and Goa. The Palaeoproterozoic acid volcanics and volcanoclastics of Nandgaon Group exposed in the easternmost Gondia and Gadchiroli districts, is intruded by Dongargarh Granite (2500 m.y). Khairagarh Group of rocks of Palaeo- to Mesoproterozoic age, and comprising bimodal volcano-sedimentaries, unconformably overly the Dongargarh Granite. The rocks of Sausar Group occur in Nagpur and Bhandara districts and are exposed in a 75 km wide and 210 km long belt extending into Madhya Pradesh. The Late Palaeozoic to Mesozoic fluvial sedimentary sequence of Gondwana Supergroup is exposed in the Wardha Valley region of Chandrapur, Yavatmal and Gadchiroli districts extending northward in Kamthi and Umrer areas of . A minor proportion of fossiliferous sedimentary rocks of the marine Bagh Formation and freshwater Lameta Formation are exposed below the Deccan Flood Basalt Sequences (DCFB). A major part of Maharashtra is covered by with tholeiitic basalts of DCFB (Upper Cretaceous to Palaeocene). The DCFB and associated intertrappean sediments are classified as Sahyadri Group and Satpura Group. Quaternary deposits of the stae are mainly confined in Tapti, Purna and Godavari valleys while fluviomarine deposits occur along the west coast. Laterite cappings cover almost all the rock formations but mostly over the Deccan Trap basalts. The eastern and southwestern parts of Maharashtra are occupied by stratigraphically older rock formations forming a repository of vast mineral wealth including manganese, coal, sillimanite, kyanite, copper, gold, tungsten, dolomite, limestone, bauxite and iron ores. GSI has remained involved with the mineral investigations for gold, tin-tungsten and basemetals and established the resources. Presently, the activities of GSI are more focused on mineral exploration for base metals and PGE (Platinum Group of Elements) in Chandrapur and

Gadchiroli districts. The geothermal prospects established along west coast are future potential for harnessing geothermal energy.

7.1 MISSION - I 7.1.1 SURVEY & MAPPING I. Special Thematic Mapping: i) 03/STM/CR/MH/2014/001: Main rock types identified in the area are meta-sediments of Sakoli Gr, sandstones of Penganga Group and of Kamthi Formation of Gondwana Super group. A large area in the western part of the area is covered by laterite which has developed above the sandstones of Penganga group. A thrust plane striking 110° and dipping 35° southwesterly have been identified near Kinhara along Chulband River. Evidences of a major fault, Slicken slide lineation, and brecciaed nature of the quartzite are encountered within the quartzites of Chapral Hill. A sequence of large cross-bedded unit successively followed by trough cross-bedded unit, clay and again large cross-bedded unit was observed within the Kamthi sandstone. ii) 04/STM/CR/MH/2014/02: Major rock types encountered in toposheet No 55P/03 are gneisses, granite, amphibolite, pegmatite, limestone, calcareous sandstone, basalt, quartz reef etc. Three generations of folding have been identified in the granites/ gneisses. The F2 folds plunge moderately towards NNW. A 15 meter wide shear zone trending parallel to the F2 axial plane was mapped near Chargaon Buzurg which was showing dextral sense of shear. Near Bendera nala minor sulphide specks (pyrite & chalcopyrite) were noticed in Bengpal gneiss. The original gneissic basement has been intruded by granites in multiple phases. K-rich granite has been found to assimilate amphibolite which has been involved in F2 deformation. Near Mokha at 20°15 ′48.9 ″- 79°08 ′2″, manganese mineralization is seen in calcareous sandstone. At places ferruginous nodules and manganese dendrite trees are also present in Lameta near Gunjala village. iii) 05/STM/CR/MH/2014/03: Lithologically, the mapped area in part of 64D/01 consist of basement gneiss/sheared granite, quartz-kyanite schist, phyllite, quartzite and rhyolite. Gneissic

19 complex occupies the western part of the area and comprises enclaves of amphibolite and intrusives like granite, dolerite, pegmatites and quartz veins. Granite is sheared and has developed augens of feldspar. Quartzite is forming the high ridges in the area and the valley portion is occupied by quartz-kyanite schist. Rhyolite is forming small hillocks in the south eastern side of the area. Quartzite ridges are mostly of sedimentary origin. Structurally the area

has suffered at least two phases of deformation. S 0 is generally parallel to S 1. It is refolded into tight to open folds plunging moderately towards SSE. iv) 06/STM/CR/MH/2014/04: The area is occupied mainly by pink granitoid, hornblende bearing granite gneiss and Deccan Trap Basalt. Two generations of folding has been identified

from the granite/ gneissic rocks present in the area. The F2 foliation in gneisses strikes N20 °–

40 °W and dips moderately towards SW. Three sets of vertical joints (NW-SE, NE-SW & N-S) are also present. v) 07/STM/CR/MH/2014/05: Rock types observed in T.S.No:56I/2 are granites and gneisses. Granodiorite and basic intrusive body with 1cm to >4cm size phenocryst of plagioclase feldspar is found to the south of Kharbi. Three generations of folding have been identified in the granites/ gneisses. The large scale F2 fold plunges moderately towards NNW. The significant physical extrusive feature like ropy surface 2.5m in length is noticed north of Bhendi Thanda. It indicates the flow from west to east. vi) 08/STM/CR/MH/2014/006: During this period geological mapping was carried out in part of toposheet no 47H/15 and 47H/11 in Sindhudurg district Maharashtra. The area mainly exposes rocks of biotite gneiss, quartzite, BIF, quartz mica schist, deformed granite, gabbro, sandstone, shale and Deccan basalt. B.G. is forming the basement for all the other lithounits and it is intruded by granite and gabbro. QMS, quartzite and B.I.F. (mostly belonging to younger supracrustals) are having very limited areal extent, due to which it is difficult to trace them further in strike continuation. The country gneiss forms the basement for Kaladgi sediment (sand stone and shale). The basement gneiss and the Kaladgi sediments are overlain by Deccan basalt. Intrusive bodies such as dolerite and gabbro are also observed. The contact of lithounits has been traced and tried to unravel the deformational history of the area. This whole sequence is covered by the Deccan Basalt after a Sandstone Boulder Horizon termed as Infratrappean Boulder Bed. This horizon is mainly having boulders of Kaladagi Sandstone embedded in reddish matrix and present at number of places near the contact of B.G. and Deccan Basalt. As per the study carried out till now, it may be considered that the area has undergone at least four phase of deformation. vi) 09/STM/CR/MP/2013/001: Mapping was carried out in 310 sq km area on 1:25000 scale in parts of toposheet no 54 K/10. The study area exposes the TTG and Granodiorite gneiss as enclave within the alkali feldspar granite and the granodiorite rock shows syntectonic

20 emplacement within it. The mafic dyke of doleritic composition exhibits intrusive relationship with Quartz reef near Unnao and Kamad village. The granodiorite shows crude foliation mostly E-W with dip vertical to sub vertical at this place. The massive alkali feldspar granite shows flattening and shearing south of Bhander Village, which is the evidence of shearing in the area. The NE-SW trending Quartz reefs studied in and around Kamad & Unao village, which is predominantly composed of quartz minerals. vii) 10/STM/CR/MP/2013/002: 320 sq km area on 1:25000 scale was mapped around Khari, Dhandra, Siladehi, Muyari, Upli, Almara, Kalmundi, Kohania, Umreth, Nawegaon, Budhwara, Naulakhapa, Nazarpur, villages, where mostly different flows of Deccan trap basalts have been delineated. Motur formation and Barakar formation of Gondwana supergroup of rocks has been observed, and contact between granite and Talchir formation of Gondwana supergroup of rocks have been observed in and around Chatua, Bhaangi nala, Burri kalan, Burri khurd, Kokat, Dhandra, Khari villages. viii) 011/STM/CR/MP/2013/003: Systematic thematic mapping of 207 sq km area in toposheet 55J/16 on 1:25000 scale was carried out. Pink colored coarse grained porphyritic granite and pink colored fine grained granite were mapped, which are compositionally consist of quartz, alkali feldspar, plagioclase, hornblende, muscovite minerals. Nine Deccan basaltic flows have been demarcated on the basis of amygdular, vesicular unit at the top of the flows and brake in slope. These lithounits have been mapped nearby Khairawara, Chhinda, Megaseoni, Karaboha,, Khajari, Lahgarua, Kusmeli, Seoni, Anjania and Gangai villages. ix) 012/STM/CR/MP/2013/004: Specialized thematic mapping of 210 sq. km area was carried out on 1:25000 scale. In the study area mainly exposed rocks are granite gneiss, rocks of Lameta equivalents, Deccan basalt, and Intertrappean. Proterozoic rock mainly compose of granite gneiss is unconfomably overlain by sedimentary lithounit of Lameta that is marked by presence of conglomerate, sandstone and siliceous limestone. This Lameta beds are well exposed in Dhuadhar Nalla section of Kulbehra river and the Lameta is overlain by flows of Deccan Tarp and demarcated five number of Basaltic flows mainly compose of fine to medium grain, grey colour, compact basalt around Pindraidhana, Bikla, Chandangoun, Lalgoun, Titri, Chand, Belgaon, Chanddhana village. x) 013/STM/CR/MP/2013/005: The area exposes rocks of older metamorphics represented by granulite?, meta-pelite, quartzite, biotite granite and gabbro. These rocks occur as enclaves within the sheared granitic gneiss. Mahakoshal Group is represented by phyllite, sheared polymictic conglomerate, metavolcanics, quartzite and dolomite; post Mahakoshal intrusives are represented by alkali feldspar granite, gabbro and quartz veins. The sheared granitoid is mesocratic, medium to coarse grained, porphyritic, and composed of plagioclase, microcline as

21 dominant constituents followed by quartz and biotite. It is highly sheared (dextral shear) and the shear planes are trending in NE-SW direction with dip towards south and at places dip towards north. The alkali feldspar granites are of two varieties viz., coarse and medium to fine grained. These generally occur as linear body with trend almost parallel to the shear plane trend. Near Naro village, boudins of gabbro are noticed in granitic rock, which is suggestive of extensional tectonic setting. Structurally, the rocks of Mahakoshal Group display three generations of deformation which is well observed in quartzite, phyllites and metavolcanics. The Gondwana Supergroup is represented by ferruginous gritty sandstone has mainly faulted contact with older rocks. xi) 014/STM/CR/CG/2014/006: Field work carried out in western part of T.S.

During traverse, rhyolite, slaty shale, sandstone, meta andesite, andesite and laterites mapped in the area. The western part of the area is mainly covered by alternate sequence of sandstone and andesite and is underlained by a highly foliated basic rock. Sandstone occurs within the andesite as linear ridge in western part of T.S. no. 64C/14. Andesite is non porphyritic with secondary filling like chert and calcite. Chevron folding is also observed in this rock. Nine numbers of iron ore patches and lenses were observed in Boda-Kharra-nachaniya-Motimpur area. Cubic shaped pyrites are also observed in andesite. xii) 015/STM/CR/CG/2014/007: During the period, LSM was carried out in 149 sq km area on 1:25,000 scale in T.S. No. 64M/5, Balrampur district. The area is mainly occupied by meta- sedimentary sequence comprising schistose quartzite, quartz-muscovite schist, garnetiferous quartz- mica- sillimenite- andelusite schist, graphite mica schist, garnetiferous quartzite, banded iron formation, calc silicate and impure marble. Ferruginous sandstone of Barakar Formation overlies the Precambrian metamorphic rocks unconfirmably. The rock types exposed are sandstone and shale of Gondwana Sequence, augen gneiss, quartz-muscovite schist, quartzite, pegmatite and quartz-chert veins. The contact between the Gondwanas and the gneiss is an unconformable one as seen in Moran River section near Kandia village. Tight isoclinal fold is seen in banded gneiss in which the trend of axial plane is 80 0/60 0 towards NNW. F3 folds are seen in banded biotite gneiss in Bhatiyahi nadi section near Sunderpur where fold axis of F3 folds plunges 56 0 towards N70 0E.

Mission IB - Baseline Geosciences Geomorphological Mapping: Item no. 044/PRS/CHQ/M1-B/2014/29: All India Mosaic of National Geomorphological and Lineament mapping on 1:50,000 scale using satellite data. A National project on geomorphological and lineament mapping on 1: 50,000 scale under the NNRMS Standing Committee on Geology and Mineral Resources (NNRMS SC-G) was initiated in 2009 jointly by GSI and ISRO with an objective of preparing a comprehensive 1: 50,000 Geomorphological and Lineament map of the whole country. Multi- temporal LISS-III geocoded digital data were used using ARCGIS based NRC-Geomrsoftware following National Legend Schema for executing the project. The project was carried out for three consecutive Field Season from 2010-12 to 2013-14.

The project generated state wise geomorphological and lineament geodatabase. The geodatabase has three layers geom (polygon layer for geomorphology), structure (line layer for lineament) and field (point layer for field photograph and related database). Geom has three attributes (Level-1 defining origin of landforms, level-2 for defining geomorphic class and level- 3 defining landforms class). Similarly structure has two levels of attributes (level-1 for origin and level -2 for nature).

A joint meeting of GSI and NRSC / ISRO was held at NRSC, Hyderabad on 19 th June 2013 and agenda of preparing all India seamless mosaic of NGLM maps during 2014-15 was approved both by the Nodal Officer of ISRO and GSI. The objective of the work is to prepare a seamless national mosaic of geomorphology and lineament layers on 1:50,000 scale and upload the database in GSI portal. During the period from October to December 2014, editing and edge matching of polygon layers of geomorphology and line layers of lineament of inter state border sheets along with correction in the geodatabase has been carried out. A total of 110 sheets including 83 intra- regional and 27 inter-regional sheets have been completed on ARC GIS platform and by consulting Geological Maps, District Resource Maps, SRTM DEM and Toposheets.

II. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF SPILL OVER ITEMS OF FS 2013-14, CARRYING OUT IN FS 2014-15 PROJECT: PENCH VALLEY COALFIELD, MADHYA PRADESH BHURKUMDHANA SECTOR (continuing item of FS 2012-13) under ‘Time Extension’

43 056/2013-14/ME/CR/NEnR/2012/049 In Pench Valley Coalfield, occurrence of Barakar Formation with intersection of coal zones has been established below the Deccan Trap in the ongoing as well as already explored sectors. The regional exploration for coal in Bhurkumdhana sector was commenced in April 2012. The coal exploration operation in this sector has been closed with the completion of the borehole PBK-4A on 07/09/2014. The area is covered by flows of Deccan Trap. The trap is underlain by Motur and Barakar formations respectively. During the period from April 2014 to September 2014, a total 445.50m has been drilled in two boreholes namely PBK- 4A & 5 by two drill units (Unit-478 & 481). Borehole PBK-4 was abandoned at a depth of 299.50m within Motur Formation and was re- drilled as PBK-4A at the adjacent location. The contact between Motur & Barakar formations was marked at 403.25m depth. In this borehole, Barakar coal seams were intersected between the depths of 424.78 and 485.41m.The cumulative thickness of coal is12.85m and individual seam thickness varies from 0.55 to 3.95m. The borehole was closed at the depth of 498.50m within Barakar Formation. The borehole PBK- 5 commenced on 06/06/2013, drilled up to a depth of 484.50m and abandoned in Motur Formation due to drilling difficulties on 20/05/2014. Large Scale Mapping (1:12,500 scale) target has already been completed in FS-2013-14. PROJECT: WARDHA VALLEY COALFIELD, MAHARASHTRA JHAMKOLA AREA (continuing item of FS 2012-13) under ‘Time Extension’ 058/2013-14/ME/CR/NEnR/2012/050 The regional exploration for coal in Jhamkola area was commenced in April, 2012. The LSM in the area revealed that the area is covered with two basaltic flows of Ajanta Formation of Sahyadri Group of Deccan Trap. A total of 975.50m has been drilled in two boreholes namely WJ-3A, 4C by outsourced drill units. The drilling by out sourcing commenced on 22/03/2014 with the commencement of borehole WJ-3A. In borehole WJ-3A, Deccan Trap/ Motur formation contact and Motur/ Barakar formation contact were demarcated at 110.62m and 460.55m depths, respectively. One composite Barakar coal seam has been intersected within the depth range from 521.95m to 540.59m.The cumulative thickness of coal is 5.35m with individual seam thickness varies from 0.55m to 3.20m. The borehole was closed at the depth of 546.50m in Barakar Formation. Borehole WJ-4 commenced on 22/03/2014 and abandoned at the depth of 241.00m on 30/04/2014 due to drilling difficulties within Motur Formation and re-drilled as WJ-4A in the adjacent site but stuck again within Motur Formation at 222.00m depth. It was again re-drilled as WJ-4B and abandoned due to the drilling difficulties in Motur Formation but at a greater depth of 451.50m. Again it is re-drilled as WJ-4C on 10/10/2014 and progressed up to the depth of 495.00m. In this borehole, the Deccan Trap / Motur contact is intersected at relatively shallow

44 depth of about 75.77m. The borehole is in progress with drilling difficulties. Due to drilling difficulties in Motur Formation the geological objectives of the area could not be achieved within stipulated time frame. Therefore, the time extension has been extended up to 15/01/2015. DABHADI SECTOR (continuing item of FS 2013-14) under ‘Time Extension’ 059/2013-14/ME/CR/NEnR/2013/038 The regional exploration for coal in Dabhadi sector was commenced in December, 2013. The LSM carried out in the area revealed that it is covered with mainly three basaltic flows of Ajanta Formation of Sahyadri Group. During the period a total 2023.50m has been drilled by out sourcing from 17/04/2014 in five boreholes WDD-1A, 2, 3 (completed), 4 & 5 (in progress). The first borehole in this sector WDD-1 was abandoned at 243.00m depth within Motur Formation due to drilling difficulties. The borehole was re-drilled as WDD-1A in the adjacent location. The intersected thickness of Deccan Trap varies from 128.27m (WDD-1A) to 171.33m (WDD-2). The Motur-Barakar formational contact in this sector varies from 322.70m (WDD-3) to 363.89m (WDD-1A). The entire Barakar Formation has been intersected in borehole WDD-3 and the thickness of Barakar Formation is 82m in this area (from 322.70m to 404.70m). The borehole closed at 417.50m depth within Talchir Formation (12.80m+). Barakar coal seams were intersected within the depth range from 357.70m (WDD-3) to 452.58m (WDD-1A).The individual coal thickness varies from 0.80m (WDD-1A) to 5.05m (WDD-2) but borehole wise cumulative coal thickness varies from 2.30m (WDD-3) to 6.98m (WDD-1A). A total of 2 sq km of large scale mapping in 1: 12,500 scale has been carried out during this period to completing the target. 7.2.3 GEOTHERMAL The Geothermal Division has restarted functioning at GSI, CR, Nagpur to take up the geothermal investigations in the areas covered by Central Region, Southern Region and Eastern Region. Most of the geothermal fields in this area are having low to medium enthalpy geothermal resources which may become viable for power generation in future with advancement of technology and other uses. Therefore, this division is taking up FSP items for monitoring of discharge, temperature and composition of geothermal thermal manifestations in these areas. On the basis of monitoring and the previous data, the detailed work on geothermal investigation can be planned in ensuing field seasons. The is one of the geothermal manifestation area in Godavari basin which is seems to be suitable for further detailed study on the basis of monitoring carrying out during FSP 2013-14. During FSP 2014-15, two items have been formulated relating to monitoring of discharge, temperature and composition of hot springs of Son-Narmada valley and Peninsular Geothermal areas and monitoring discharge and temperature of hot springs of Andhra Pradesh, Tamilnadu and Karnataka. Another collaborative item with

45 NTPC Ltd entitled “Exploration for Geothermal Resource Assessment at Tatapani Geothermal Field, Balarampur District, and Chhattisgarh” has been taken up preparation DPR for power generation and other ancillary uses. SER/CR/NEnR/2013/075 (Proposal ID: 2014096 of FSPMIS ): The item is entitled “Exploration for Geothermal Resource Assessment at Tatapani Geothermal Field, Balarampur District, Chhattisgarh”. Under this item, the detailed mapping of 5.00 sq. km area and topographic survey of 3.25 sq. km area in Tatapani Geothermal Field have been completed during March to June 2014. The pre monsoon and post monsoon monitoring and water sample collection of geothermal resources have been done. Forty nine water samples from hot springs, exploratory bore wells, hand pumps and dug wells present in the study area have been collected for total chemical analysis. The geological and topographical map of the study area has been prepared. The study area has two major type of lithology namely Chhotanagpur Gneissic Complex (CGC) represented by granite, biotite gneiss, pegmatites and Gondwana Supergroup represented by coarse grained white coloured sandstone as ferruginous Sandstone. Tatapani Fault is the major fault which controls the geothermal manifestation in the study area. The area is intersected by various cross faults. During Post Monsoon monitoring in November 2014, the HS-2 recorded the maximum temperature of 86.7°C, while HS-5 recorded the temperature of 63.6°C. Borehole Tat/23 shows the temperature variation from 98.8°C to 98.5°C. The maximum temperature of 72.7°C observed in hand pumps is in HP-6 and minimum temperature is recorded in HP-3 with 40.3°C. HP-10 is a cold water hand pump with temperature around 25.7°C. HP-9 has not been monitored because of its non functioning. From the monitoring data, it has been observed that post monsoon there is an average drop of 2-3°C in temperature of some hot springs and hand pumps. The reason for this may be the drying up of the seepages and near surface groundwater during summer season. Due to this, there is no mixing at the near surface. While some amount of mixing may take place post monsoon because of availability of near surface groundwater. The absence of very wide temperature fluctuation during pre monsoon and post monsoon indicates some kind of close circulation of water through conduits at depth. In addition to the monitoring and water sampling for complete water analysis, twenty seven and fourteen water samples have been collected by scientists from BARC, Mumbai for isotope analysis and tritium analysis respectively. Two gas samples from HS-1 and HS-3 have been resampled as the previous samples were blank. The hydro geochemical study of the area indicates that area has two types of water i.e. thermal and non thermal water. Thermal waters are mainly from hot springs, boreholes and hand

46 pumps while non thermal waters are mainly from dug wells and hand pumps discharging cold water. Thermal water is Na-HCO 3-Cl-SO 4 type while non thermal water is Ca-Mg-HCO 3 type. Hot spring water is mature water type while hand pump water is both mature and immature water type. Dug well water is also immature type. Some dug wells show thermal nature of water. They represent cooled thermal water indicating some kind of mixing. Various geochemical indicators suggest that thermal water has single aquifer source and long circulation at depth. The temperature calculated from various aqueous geothermometers indicate the temperature at depth ranging from 150° to 190°C.

The thermal logging of hand pumps and thermal log data of previously drilled wells at Tatapani have been used to know the subsurface temperature profile. Isometric diagram has been prepared and viable geothermal zone having temperature more than 100°C has been identified. From all data integration it has been concluded that the viable geothermal zone is observed to have length of 1380m from ENE to WSW and variable width from 270m in ENE to 345m in WSW. The total area is calculated as 0.433 sq km. The average heat flow for viable geothermal zone of 0.433 sq km area is 1290 mW/m 2, which is 19 times more than the average continental heat flow value. It suggest strongest geothermal field which may be suitable for getting temperature of 190°C as suggested by aqueous geothermometry, fluid inclusion, geothermal mineral alteration studies etc. The area is a potential zone of for geothermal power generation. The subsurface reservoir is of elliptic conical in shape. Based on the assumption of attaining 130°C at 1500m depth, the reservoir can produce 13.8MW of power for 20 years while having the assumption of attaining 130°C at 2000m depth, the reservoir can produce 26.3MW of power for 20 years. The overall available data represent a strong case for deeper geothermal exploration in the form of drilling to the depth of 1500-2000m depth.

The interim report has been prepared and it is in the scrutiny stages at various levels.

GT/CR/NEnR/2014/046(Proposal ID: 2014225 of FSPMIS ): The item is entitled “Monitoring discharge and temperature of hot springs of Andhra Pradesh, Tamilnadu and Karnataka”. The main objective of the item is to identify geothermal activity and related geological investigation and water sampling for total water analysis and isotope study in the area around known hot water spring of Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu and Karnataka. This will help in identifying the potential target for detailed geothermal investigation in future. The consultation of unpublished geological reports of the area was done as a pre-field preparation. The field work for this item was initiated in last week of June 2014 and the monitoring was carried out for Godavari geothermal field of State. Geothermal manifestations exist in the form of hot spring at Bugga, boreholes drilled by GSI and SCCL

47 (Singareni Coal Company Ltd) in Manuguru area and public utility bore well in Bhadrachalam, , Telangana. The geyseric condition in boreholes drilled by GSI for coal exploration have been observed and studied. Traverse mapping of 4L Km has been carried out on 1:25000 scales near Bugga and Pagaderu. Total of 18 and 10 water samples have been collected for complete water analysis and isotope studies respectively.

Petrological thin sections have been studied for rock samples of sandstone, quartzite and garnet bearing amphibolite collected from Manuguru, Bugga and Bhadrachalam area. The analytical results of eighteen water samples of Manuguru geothermal field have been studied and the data has been processed and plotted in Piper diagram and Trilinear diagram. It is observed from the Piper plot that the thermal water from hot spring/bore holes are rich in Na+K cation and HCO3 anion and it can broadly be termed as NaHCO3 hydrochemical facies where as the non- thermal water is also fall in CaNaHCO3 hydrochemical facies. The trilinear plot indicates peripherial water heated up by geothermal heat release through deep seated faults. The NaHCO3 hydrochemical facies indicates the geothermal activity in the area.

GT/CR/NEnR/2014/045(Proposal ID: 2014173 of FSPMIS ):

HIGHLIGHTS/SUMMARY OF WORK DONE :

• In Project : Mineral Prognostication, attempts have been made to find out the potential areas for gold mineralisation using boolean and weighted index overlay methods of GIS analysis. For this, the geological, geochemical, geophysical, aerogeophysical and PGRS data have been collected from various sources and processed.

• Under geological data processing, literature on Sakoli fold belt is consulted to prepare the conceptual model of mineralisation in the study area. Accordingly, the litho-units are ranked, proximity of faults, dykes, lineaments, shear zones in the area were fixed. The foliation trends were utilised to derive the deformational pattern in the area. Lineaments are classified using deformational patten layer, fault layer etc. From all these layers, evidence layers are prepared followed by preparation of thematic layer.

• Under Geochemical data processing, NGCM data is processed to create point feature class with all analytical data as attributes. Interpolated geochemical data for Bi, Se, Ag, Hg values and created surface as Bi. Se, Ag, Hg has moderately positive co-relation with Au. Surface for Cd also created as it is strongly co-related to Au in present study area. For preparing evidence maps, mean + standard deviation algorithm is used and the anomalous value areas are demarcated and accordingly higher weights were assigned.

• Under Geophysical data processing, digitized aeromagnetic lineaments, gravity lineaments, and magnetic high polygons. Using proximity analysis evidence maps were prepared.

• Using Principal Component Analysis and Band rationing techniques, alteration zone maps were prepared from the IRS imagery and used as evidence map.

• Attempts were also made to convert aero-geophysical contour data into polygon layer for finding anomaly, but the experiment has not worked out as projected.

• Like wise data for each theme is processed separetely and thematic layers are prepared. All these thematic layers are used for further GIS analysis by Weighted Index Overlay and Boolean technique of data modelling. Attempts are also being done in Fuzzy analysis method. For presentation purpose few

59 localities and drainage of study area were digitised.

• For for 3D modeling, borehole data of 32 boreholes of Pular Parsori block is prepared using “Target” Geosoft software. Attempted to prepare 3D model for borehole data viz., iso-surface maps, Voxels, and comparative resource and reserves analysis for gold, copper, arsenic, zinc and tungsten were also attempted.

• An abstract on topic “Creation of Exploration through prospective maps to find out new target areas for gold and associated mineralization in Sakoli Fold Belt” is prepared and submitted to DDG & National Mission Head-II, to be presented in 2 days workshop on “Latest trends in Mineral Exploration” at GSI, CR, Nagpur. The work is published in the Abstract Volume publication. The author has also presented it in the workshop.

• The officer has attended one week training at CGMT, Hyderabad from 25/07/2014 to 02/08/2014 on advance GIS but the course was not designed exclusively for data integration project.

• The final maps after integration of all themes indicate 0.126 sq km highest potential area for gold in two patches bounded by latitudes 20°49'00” and 20°52’50” N and longitudes 79°29’50” and 79°32’00”E and falls in toposheet No 55P/9. The map also shows moderately potential area of 3.876 sq km in various patches bounded by latitude 20°48’00” and 20°53’50”Nand longitude 79°28’00” And 79°34’00”E.

K. Wadhawan, at GSI, CR Nagpur. From this field season onwards two new RP items has been

67 taken up in collaboration with Deccan Volcanism Division, GSI, SUM, Pune. This division has been reopened in Pune in presence of Dr. S. K. Wadhawan, former Director Gneneral, GSI. 1. Item no. 138/RP/IGC/CR/MH/2014/68 : “Study of mafic rich/picritic lava flows/lobes and intrusive from the Deccan Volcanic Province to understand their origin and to comment their fertility in terms of Pt-Pd mineralization” Fieldwork carried out in and around Igatpuri, Warangushi, Nasik, Trimbak, Nil Parvat, Mhsurli, Murambi in Nasik district, Vadavli and Jawhar in Thane district, Maharashtra, Singori, Chhindwara, Linga in Chhindwara district of Madhya Pradesh. The compilations of published and unpublished literatures and reports reveal that olivine rich flows have very restricted occurrences and mainly confined to the lowermost flows of Salher and Lower Ratangarh Formations. Numerous dykes and sills cross cut the flows in the study area. The dykes and sills, which are doleritic in composition, have considerable amount of olivine in them. The officers have also studied thin sections from Warungushi, Kasara, Khopoli region related to the current FSP. Thin section studies reveal the olivine rich flows mostly have porphyritic texture. Phenocrysts are composed of olivine and plagioclase feldspar. Plagioclase feldspars are clustered together to form glomeroporphyritic texture. Groundmass is mostly composed of clino-pyroxene and plagioclase feldspar with or without glass. Olivine is highly fractured where as plagioclase feldspars show fine lamellar twinning with tapering ends of twin lamellae. Olivine grains show alteration to iddingsite along grain boundaries as well as along fractures within the grains. But most of the flows contain upto 30% of olivine grains. The intrusive are rich in olivine and intrusive near Warungushi, Khopoli and Samundi contains upto 50% of olivine. Study of SEISAT map of the area suggests that the thickness of Deccan trap increases from east to west. The upwarping of Moho (depth of Moho is~36 km) and increasing Bouguer gravity values suggest crustal thinning towards west coast. The arcute pattern of the contours of Bouguer gravity values near Kalyan pointing towards SE indicates break in continuation of basement configuration. Several mafic intrusives are observed in the same region with a trend of NW – SE. These suggest the intrusive are emplaced along pre existing fracture system. A neotectonic fault and minor lineaments are also present along the same trend (NW – SE). The map pattern suggests presence of some strike slip movement in area of 47A, E and F in which fieldwork was carried out. 2. Item 139/RP/IGC/CR/MH/2014/69 : “Building-up of 3D volcanic facies architecture of Diveghat Formation of Deccan Traps’ aims to characterize the ‘mixed’ flows of Diveghat Formation to identify the volcanic facies, building the 3D architecture to model the change in the style of eruption of Deccan basalts through space and time.”

68 Various traverses were carried out to study the mixed flows in the study area, the details of which are given below: a) Shirgaon-Wathar section, the Salpe-Wathar section and the Salpenala section in toposheet no. 47K/1, to study the geology of the area during which two rubbly flows were identified. b) TathwadaGhat section in toposheet no. 47K/5 in which a total of 10 lava flows were observed out of which 2 were compound pahoehoe flows, 1 was a’a flow,3 were simple/sheet flows and 4 were supposedly with one slabby pahoehe and rest rubbly pahoehoe type were identified. c) Nira-Lonand-Vir-Yadavwadi section in toposheet no. 47 J/4 in which a total of 4 flows were observed out of which 2 mixed flows have been classified as rubbly pahoehoe. d) Baramati-Chikali-Pawarmala-Bori-Pimpali section in toposheet no. 47 J/12 in which 2 flows were identified in which 1 flow was of rubbly nature and the other was simple sheet flow. e) Nira-Gulunche-Supa Road Section in toposheet no. 47 J/4 in which a total of 4 flows were observed out of which 2 mixed flows are of rubbly pahoehoe type. f) Nira-Walha-Bhorwadi section in toposheet no. 47 J/4 in which a total of 5 flows were observed out of which 2 mixed flows were classified as rubbly and slabby each. 3. Item No.140/2014-15/RP/IGC/CR/2014/70 : “Study of Gondwana Super Group sequence of Satpura Basin, Chhindwara and , Madhya Pradesh.” Geological traverses of 35L km were taken across the strike of basin. Talchir, Barakar, Motur, Bjiori, Pachmari, Denwa and Bagra formations were characterised and the nature of contact was studied. Section measurement was done and 13 samples for Petrology, 30 samples for Palynology, 10 samples for trace element & REE analysis and 30 samples for clay mineralogical studies and 12 samples for Carbon, Nitrogen Phosphorus analysis, were collected. Scientific literature related to Satpura Gondwana basin was consulted. Petrology: Two research and three service items has been taken up for the field season 2014-15 from petrology Division. A. RP item No. 087/RP/CR/HQ/2014/049 : Petrological and geochemical studies of mafic- ultramafic granulite and associated rocks from Nayaharwani area, BBG belt, Bhandara district, Maharashtra. Field work and collection of samples were carried out about 8 sq. km area in Mafic iultramafic granulite and associated rocks from Nayaharwani are, BBG belt, Bhandara district, Maharastra, included in Toposheet no. 55O/12. The overall outline of exposed rocks is oval shaped and tappers at both ends. The surrounding flat area is covered by alluvium. The mafic

69 granulite of the area is medium to fine grained and well foliated. The foliation of the mafic granulite defined by alternate feldspathic (± quartz) and mafic melanocratic layers. Attitude of the foliation plane varies from 65-85° with steeply dipping on either side. The dominant mafic granulite comprises Clinopyroxene, brown amphibole, plagioclase, magnetite, quartz ± orthopyroxene ± garnet. Tiny inclusion of rutile and apatite are present. Another very coarse grained amphibole – feldspar layers developed within the mafic granulite possibly reconstitution of earlier phases. This folial-amphibole formed 10 to 15 cm long idioblast. From the preliminary studies and from textural evidences the following metamorphic episode (M 1, M 2, M 3 etc.) have been recorded: a) poikiloblastic orthopyroxene and clino pyroxene (augite) include plagioclase

(bytownite/labradorite, An 70-80 ), brown amphibole (magnesio hornblende) ± quartz showing prograde texture ( ≈M1). b) Coarse grained idioblastic to subidioblastic garnet is suggesting its growth in steady state (M 2). Garnet includes inclusion of plagioclase + amphibole. c) Petrographic study reveals that the folial amphibole is hornblende and is mantling early formed clinopyroxene in its core (M 3). Sometimes, differentially oriented hornblende is seen in pyroxene pseudomorph. The hornblende is developed during retrograde metamorphism. d) In some thin sections chlorite rim is seen by the reaction of plagioclase and hornblende or around the plagioclase inclusion within the coarse hornblende grain. Formation of chlorite is supposed to be the last stage of retrograde metamorphism ( ≈M4). Detailed petrographic study corroborated by mineral chemistry and petrochemistry of the rocks will evaluate the metamorphic evolution vis a vis P-T evolution of the granulite rock of Nayaharwani belonging to extreme south-western flank of the BBG belt. B. RP item No. 088/RP/CR/HQ/2014/050): Petrology and geochemistry of Nickel bearing meta- ultramafic rocks of the Padhar mafic-ultramafic suite, Betul Belt, Madhya Pradesh. Field work and collection of samples were carried in about 12 sq km area, in Padhar mafic - ultramafic suite of rocks in toposheet no. 55F/16. The mafic – ultramafic suite of rocks hosted in basement granite. Numerous younger granitic intrusion as dykes and veins are found to occur in the complex. The litho-units of the complex represented a well differentiated suite of rocks ranging from ultramafic to mafic (in cases diorite). Field studies reveal that there are repetitions in lithological variation from ultramafic to mafic units near Jakhli and Jharkhund area. The ultramafic rocks mainly vary from Peridotite (dominantly harzburgite), olivine orthopyroxenite, websterite and plagioclase bearing hornblendite. The ultramafic rocks show cumulous texture. The mafic rocks are mainly norite, pyroxene hornblende gabbro and hornblende gabbro. Phlogopite is ubiquitously present in all the litho units of the complex. The ultramafic rocks are altered by invaded fluid phases in different pulses and by intruded granitic melt as well. The corresponding altered variants of the ultramafic - mafic litho units are seen in

70 the marginal part of the complex along the shear zone and also within the complex where the post magmatic activities are evidenced. The equivalent altered rocks are talc-steatite, para- hornblendite, hornblende chlorite schist, and epidote hornblende schist. Presence of scapolite after plagioclase and precipitation of the carbonate phase in the rock represent activity of carbonate fluid in the complex. Mapping in 1: 12500 scales will reveal a detail disposition of the several lithounits in Padhar ultramafic – mafic complex. Detailed petrography, mineralogy and petrochemical studies may throw light on petrogenesis of mafic-ultramafic rocks and its altered variants. Moreover, quantitative REE modeling will be attempted to decipher the parent melt character visa- vice possible source of metasomatism/ crustal contamination if any in this set up. These studies also lead to understand the cause of alteration of Padhar mafic-ultramafic rocks. It is also proposed to assess the possible association of Ni, V and PGE mineralisation in these rocks if any. C.

20. ESTATE MATTERS The Central Region has its own office buildings at Nagpur, Bhopal, Jabalpur, Raipur & Pune. Besides this there are residential quarters at Pune & Jabalpur. Excluding Raipur, all other office buildings are 20 or more years old and in need of regular maintenance every year. Earlier CPWD used to maintain these building from the budget grant received by it from the union Govt. Since last three or four years the CPWD has been treating routine maintenance as deposit work (due to scarcity of funds with them) & asking for budget allotment for the same. The CRO has been given meager budget allotment under minor works head during last few years. As such no routine maintenance has been done through CPWD. As a result, the buildings are in pathetic condition profusely leaking, sanitary and plumbing lines have been damaged extensively, boundary & parapet walls weakened. Street lighting, old electrical wiring has weakened/damaged especially in chemical labs due to acidic fumes. This situation is creating problems every now & then in smooth functioning of office. Estate details for the Central Region set up is tabulated below.

22. RESULTS FRAMEWORK DOCUMENT (RFD) Results Framework Document (RFD) is an instrument for evaluation of performance, accountability and good governance, practiced by many institutions and public departments the World over. In India, the RFD was introduced through the honorable President's address to the Parliament on 4 th June, 2009, which focused on effective delivery of public services, ensuring increased decentralization, transparency and public accountability. The Prime Minister's approval on 11/09/2009 made it mandatory for each department to prepare RFD consisting of departmental objectives and inter-se priorities set out by the Ministry concerned. The Minister in- charge will approve the proposed activities, schemes and success indicators for the Ministry/ Department. Completed RFD has to be submitted by departments to the secretariat by 15 th April every year, putting it on departmental website/portal. Ministry of Mines put forth the RFD for GSI in February 2011. Consequently, RFD was made functional in GSI, through the DG’s, letter dated 10/06/2011, followed by a workshop on 20/10/2011 at CHQ. RFD of Central Region has been reported regularly since September, 2011.
