2.2 Brief Description of nature of the project.

Ball Clay, Silica Sand, Bajri (gravel) Mining Project having lease area 3.5166 Hectare located near Village: Deshnok, Tehsil & District: Bikaner, Rajasthan.

2.3 Need For the Project and Its Importance to the Country:

Ball clay Clay is a highly plastic variety of clay of kaolin group like china clay and Ball clay but has less refractoriness. The Chemical composition of ball clay is similar to that of china clay, except that the ball clay contains a large proportion of silica. The main utility of ball clay lies in the plasticity, high bonding qualities and tensile strength. It is therefore, used in bled with non-plastic to semi-plastics clays for obtaining requisite plasticity. It is added in various proportions for the preparation of body composition of various sanitary wares, bathtub tiles, porcelain etc. It is observed the clays existing in the lease area are of good plastic nature, medium grained and with good witness index, some clay is having iron impurities. The clay is generally classified in three grades A, B & C. Silica Sand: Silicon and oxygen are the earth's two most abundant elements and together they make silica, one of the earth's three most common rock forming minerals. Silica occurs in three main crystalline forms. The principal occurrence is as the mineral quartz but it also occurs in other rarer mineral forms known as tridymite and cristobalite. It is a very durable

mineral resistant to heat and chemical attack and it is these properties that have made it industrially interesting to man. The first industrial uses of crystalline silica were probably related to metallurgical and glass making activities a few thousand years BC. It has continued to support human development throughout history, being a key raw material in the industrial revolution especially in the glass, foundry and ceramics industries. Silica contributes to today's information technology revolution being used in the plastics of computer mouses and providing the raw material for silicon chips. Bajri (gravel) - This is a Bajri mining project. Bajri is used as domestic & all type of construction sector, monuments construction markets, hospitality industry, handicraft, and antiques. There is a huge demand of the Bajri in the present market and demand of Bajri continuously rising over the last few years. Sand is a naturally occurring granular material composed of finely divided rock and mineral particles. It is defined by size, being finer than gravel and coarser than silt. Sand can also refer to a textural class of soil or soil type; i.e. a soil containing more than 85 percent sand-sized particles by ass. The composition of sand varies, depending on the local rock sources and conditions, but the most common constituent of sand in inland continental settings and non-tropical coastal

settings is silica (silicon dioxide, or SiO2),usually in the form of quartz. The second most common type of sand is calcium carbonate, for example, aragonite, which has mostly been created, over the past half billion years, by various forms of life, like coral and shellfish. For example, it is the primary form of sand apparent in areas where reefs have dominated the ecosystem for millions of years like the Caribbean. Sand is a non-renewable resource over human timescales, and sand suitable for making concrete is in high demand.

2.4 Demands-Supply As a result of continuation of the mining project, the demand-supply position will remain balanced. Demand of Bajri (gravel), Ball Clay and Silica Sand will be fulfilled by this project.

2.5 Imports vs. Indigenous Production There will be no import for project. The indigenously produced machinery will be used and the excavated mineral will be for domestic market.

2.6 Export Possibility The long distance transport by inland traffic will make the cost of the mineral prohibitively high making the exports economically not feasible. The mining activity is not prospecting exports.

2.7 Domestic/Export Markets Lessee is and will be selling out the mineral in domestic market as per requirement. No export is proposed. It will be transported to various industries such as ceramic, distemper, oil paint, primer industries etc. 2.8 Employment Generation (Direct or Indirect)

The mining project is generating direct and indirect employment. Approximately 30 people are getting direct employment, and some persons are also affected indirectly and employed with allied and related industries, such as transportation, maintenance, etc. Details given in below Table No 1.1.

4.6 Soil / rock classification 4.6.1 Soil: The soils of Bikaner district are predominantly light textured, weak – structured, sand to sandy loam with the clay content. Arid climate with low rainfall, high temperature and high evaporation losses has resulted in physical and mechanical disintegration of the parent material giving rise to predominance of coarse fraction in the soil. Very little chemical weathering has taken place and the development of soil is mostly indistinct. Soils are generally of desertic type

with poor fertility status and very low water retention capacity. Soil profile studied during UNDP Project (1971-74) shows that the hydraulic conductivity in the soil profile reaches upto 10.9 cm/hr while the maximum available moisture in the soil profile remains to the extent of 1.13%. In general the soils have good porosity (40%) and good to very good permeability.

4.7 Climatic data from secondary sources The Bikaner district is predominantly covered (about 80%) by alluvial and eolian sand. Most of the eolian sand is seen as sand dunes of variable heights. Otherwise, the geologic succession of the area is represented by rocks of Palaeosoic to Recent age. The next group of formations (after eolian and alluvial sand) is that of Tertiary Group of rocks represented by Sandstones of variable grain size. These are also exposed in Bikaner- Kolayat region. Marwar Super Group represented by Nagaur Sandstones and Bilara limestone occupies south eastern part of the district.

 Medical facilities, Primary Health Centre are there in the area, imparting services, for advance medical facilities. In each village one health worker has been appointed by the Govt. to provide primary health facilities.  Village people are availing drinking water facilities generally from the hand pump, open well and tube well.  Communication services like post office and telephones are available in the tehsil Kolayat.  An occupational health unit is organized and the proposed measures will be adopted:  Pre and Periodical Medical Checkup program for all the workers.  Compulsory medical checkup program and first-aid box with necessary equipment will be provided.  Training for workers regarding occupational hazards such as use of safety equipment i.e. dusts mask, safety shoes, gloves etc. 5.0 PLANNING BRIEF 5.1 Planning Concept: It is an existing mining project. The proposed production capacity is 276154.80 TPA (ROM) (Ball clay-59860.00 TPA, Silica Sand-123468.80 TPA, Bajri/gravel- 92826.00 TPA). Opencast Semi-mechanized method of mining will be adopted and transportation of mineral will be done through road by dumper/tippers/trucks covered by tarpaulin.

5.2 Population Projection Man power requirement for mining is estimated to be approx. 30. Most of the laborers are recruited from neighboring villages and for future expansion project also laborers will be recruited from neighboring villages, so there will be permanent migration of people. 5.3 Land use Planning

The land use classification is Private Land. Mining activity will be confined to 3.5166 Ha area. At the end of life of mine, total excavated area will be 3.00 Hectare from which 0.9788 Hectare area will be backfilled and subsequently will be reclaimed by plantation and 2.0212 Hectare area will be left over for water reservoir which would have a positive impact by recharging the ground water table.
