INTRODUCTION Chitradurga District is located 200km NW from , bounded by the geographical coordinates North Latitudes 13º 34' 20" to 15º 47' 10" to East Longitudes 76º 01' 30" 77º 01' 35". The District is having a geographic area of 8388.78 sq kms.

BRIEF HISTORY OF THE DISTRICT

Chitradurga district has a hoary past dating back to the pre-historic and legendary times. According to a tradition, it was near the Jatinga Rameshvar hill of this district that Jatayu challenged Ravana when, having abducted Sita, the latter was passing through this part of the country with her on his way to Lanka. According to another, during the period of their exile the brothers and their mother stayed for some time near Chitradurga hills. Some of the pot-shreds discovered in the pre-historic sites of the district are stated to be similar to those found in the Indus Valley, Sumer and Crete of the 3rd millennium B.C. Further, the ancient local culture which has been designated as "Roppa Culture" is said to be similar to the campiguin culture of France belonging to the period from 8000 B.C. to 6000 B.C.

Chitradurga features bold rock hills and picturesque valleys, huge towering boulders in unimaginable shapes. It is known as the "stone fortress" (Kallina Kote). The landscape looks much like a mischievous giant's playground, with boulders thrown around, forming silhouettes against the sky. According to a story in the Epic Mahabharatha, a man-eating gaint named Hidimbasura lived on the Chitradurga hill and was a source of terror to everyone around. When the came with their mother Kunti in the course of their exile, had a duel with . Hidimba was slain by Bhima and peace returned to the area. Legend has it the boulders were part of the arsenal used during that duel. In fact, the boulders on which major part of the city rests belong to the oldest rock formation in the country.

Timmana Nayaka a chieften under the Vijayanagar empire rose to the rank of governor of Chitradurga as a reward for his excellence in military achievements, from the ruler. This was the beginning of the rule of the . His son Obana Nayaka is known by the name Madakari Nayaka 1588 CE. Madakari Nayaka's son Kasturi Rangappa 1602 succeeded him and consolidated the kingdom to rule peacefully. As he had no heirs to succeed him, his adopted son, the apparent heir was enthroned but was killed in few months by the Dalavayis.

Chikkanna Nayaka1676 the brother of Madakari Nayaka II sat on the throne, and his brother succeeded him with the title Madakari Nayaka III in 1686. The unwillingness of Dalawayis to accept Madakari Nayaka III's rule gave an opportunity to one of their distant relatives, Bharamappa Nayaka to ascend the throne in 1689. He is known as dthe greatest of the Nayaka rulers. Somehow, the subjects of Chitradurga did not experience a good reign of the successive rulers as they ruled on the throne for very brief periods. The Hiri Madakari Nayaka IV 1721, Kasturi Rangappa Nayaka II 1748, Madakari Nayaka V 1758 ruled this area but there is not much to mention of their rule.

Chitradurga Fort:-

The old walled Town houses the impressive fort, built on the north eastern base of a cluster of rocky hills, qualifying it to be a Giridurga, or hill fortress. Known as Yelu Suthina Kote, the fort is fortified by seven circular walls, three of which are on the ground and four on the hill. is said to have had 19 majestic doors, 38 smaller doors, 35 special entry points and four secret entrances. The fort is entered through four gateways of the outermost wall. The foothills of the fort constitute the main residential area of the town. The Mel Durgas, forts on the hill are embellished with extensive , ramparts, bastions, batteries, watchtowers and entrances located at strategic points and

Y:\Chitradurga\sand\DISTRICT MINERAL SURVEY REPORT.doc 5 house fourteen temples. Some of the fort’s important landmarks are Thuppada Kola Betta, Hidimbagiri, Zadaa Battery (Flag battery), Kahale Battery (Trumpet battery), Lal Battery (Red battery) and Nellikai Battery (Gooseberry battery). The main entrance to the fort, Kamanbhavi, has carvings of the seven – hooded cobra the legendary twin headed bird, Gandaberunda, the royal swan,Rajhamsa and lotus flowers.

GEOHYDROLOGY AND OCCURANCE OF GROUND WATER.

The above major rock units are Hard, crystalline Rocks, which have been subjected to Tectonic Movements. The process of weathering produces joints primarily by means of Temperature effect on Rock, as well as by Chemical and physical action of Flowing Water. So produced joints by weathering rapidly lies down within the upper 30 to 50mts in most Cases.

The most dense joint sets of the above origin can be observed in the upper portion of the hard rock massifs. These joints may either open filled (mineralized) fill being represented by sandy, clayey material or veins of Quartz.

The character and extent of joint depends upon the composition and hardness of the rocks. Harder rocks are less rapidly disintegrated, hence joint penetrate them down to smaller depths.

In hard rock formation cut by differently oriented and mutually intersecting joints can also be seen. Granites and other crystalline rocks often contain little water. Which extend down to the depths of 30 to 50 meters and very rarely 100mts.

The distribution and migration of ground water in jointed rocks are variable, being dependent upon the Character, origin, and size of the cracks. Joints in hard rock contain both Semi confined and unconfined ground water. Ground water head is commonly produced by the Hydrostatic pressure in intersecting joints, some of which occur in a recharge area at higher altitudes, where the rain water and surface water infiltrate into the ground, in other places, the water pressure in cracks in cracks is related to the pressure of gases ascending from lower zones of the lithosphere. Major fracture zones also

Y:\Chitradurga\sand\DISTRICT MINERAL SURVEY REPORT.doc 10 contain ground water and these acts as good aquifer. Metamorphic rocks are mainly Hornblende Schist and Chlorite Schist and Granite Gneiss.

The prominent water bearing zones are Secondary structures such as pore space, joints and fractures in the different rock types that act as good Aquifers. The depth of weathering zone varies from 10 to 20m. The depth of joint/ fracture zone varies from 20 to 90 m and the isolated fracture and joints may extend down to a depth greater than 90m but less than 120m. Major structural features, are fractures and fissures that occur in the rocks, than these features acts as sub surface reservoir to hold and discharge ample quantity of ground water.

GEOLOGY AND AQUIFER SYSTEM.

The rainfall precipitation is the only source for ground water recharge. The total recharged water will be stored approximately at the following depth in all geological setup. The thickness of the water bearing formation i..e, aquifer as follows.

Maximum water will be stored in weathered / jointed / fractured rock formations, up to a depth of 30m below ground level(bgl) and it accounts approximately to tune of 65%to 75% of the total estimated ground water recharge and 10% to 15% of the ground water will be stored at a depths ranges from the 30 to 60m (bgl) in semi weathered rock formations (Granite, Granite Gneiss, Schist) with joint / fractures, and 5%-10% of the ground water will be stored at a depths ranges from the 60 to 90m (bgl) in hard rocks with fractures and less than 5% of ground water will be stored at a depths ranges 90- 130m(bgl) in hard rock, with isolated fractures.

Review of ground water quality changes.

The objectives of the water quality monitoring net work is to:  Establish the Bench mark for different water quality parameters

Y:\Chitradurga\sand\DISTRICT MINERAL SURVEY REPORT.doc 11

 Compare the different parameters against the national standards.  Detect water quality changes with time Identify potential areas that show rising trend

Detect potential pollution sources

Study the impact of land use and industrialization on ground water quality.

To study the ground water chemistry, ground water quality-monitoring network, has been established at 47 villages. From all the stations Base and Trend water samples are collected and analyzed since many years. It is observed from the analyzed report that Base samples shows higher concentration of the substances or Characteristics like PH, CaCo3, Cl, Fe, TDS, SO4,F and NO3 when compared with Trend samples Characteristic Values. Ti is also noticed that concentration of the substances became low and dispersion will be more in large area in Trend samples. The frequency of monitoring for ground water quality is changed as base line monitoring where as samples are collecting once in a year (one time a year) wells showing abnormal parameters for trend monitoring (2 times a year) where as wells for surveillance monitoring nil.

The overall aquifer system is unconfined and in many instances static water level exhibits a pheatic water levels and in the semi confined aquifer, water level exhibits tendency according to pressure head.

The geophysical, vertical electrical soundings were conducted to know sub surface conditions of the aquifer system. It reveals the above sub surface condition of the water bearing strata.

SOIL TYPES. Major soil group in the District is red sandy soil followed by mixed red and black cotton soil, deep black soil, red loamy and medium black cotton soil. Red sandy soils are playing vital role in ground water recharge aspect. All above-mentioned soil types except deep black cotton soil are favorable for ground water recharge.

Mineral Resources of Chitradurga District Chitradurga district is one of the mineral rich district in the state, where many types of minerals. Thin bands and lenses of barytes upto 1 m wide and 200 m long occur in association with the fuchsite quartzite bands of Sargur Group in the Ghattihosahalli and adjacent areas.

Copper, Gold, Silver: A belt of polymetallic sulphide mineralisation with a copper, lead, zinc, antimony, arsenic, gold and silver, has been traced over a strike length of about 40 km, along the eastern part of the schist belt. This mineralised belt designated as the Chitradurga sulphide belt, extends from Chikkahonnanahalli in the north to Yarahalli in the south. Copper mineralisation is prominent in the Belligudda-Ingaldhalu- Kunchiganahalu sector over a strike length of about 5 km. The Ingaldhalu mines is located in this sector. At Ingaldhalu, chalcopyrite with minor pyrite, pyrrhotite, galena and sphalerite occur as disseminations, stringers and fracture fillings in quartz veins occupying narrow shear zones in the meta-basalts. The Belligudda-Ingaldhalu-Kunchiganahallu section has been explored by drilling, jointly by GSI and the Dept. of Mines and Geology, Govt. of . On the basis of drilling data and the mine development data, reserves of 2.14 million tonnes with an average copper content of 1.22% are estimated in the mine blocks, northwest and northeast block. The copper ores also carry considerable silver and gold content. INGALDHAL COPPER MINE (CENTRAL BLOCK) : This mine is situated south of Chitradurga. HGML has got Mining Lease (ML No: 2490, Period: 06.03.1993 to 05.03.2013). Mining activities at Ingaldhal Copper Mine were carried out from 1965 to 1994.

Y:\Chitradurga\sand\DISTRICT MINERAL SURVEY REPORT.doc 18

So, Mining work was suspended in 1994. due to world globalization and cause decline in Cu price as well M/s. Hindustan Copper Limited had stopped buying of copper concentrate. It is planned to carry out further detailed exploration by exploratory mining, reclamation. For this statutory works are in progress. GUDDADA RANGAVANA HALLI (G.R.HALLI): Guddadarangavanahalli Gold Deposit is situated 7km North East of Chitradurga and is 15km North West of Chitradurga Gold Unit and is situated on Bangalore-Sholapur National Highway No.13 with a 1.5km mud road takes to the deposit. This is a polymetallic deposit, reopening of the mine is under consideration. It is planned to carry out further detailed exploration by exploratory diamond drilling followed by reclamation and mining. For this statutory works are in progress.
