CHAPTER – III GEOLOGY AND EXPLORATION & RESERVE

3. (a) Topography : The granted P.L. area represents undulatory land with rock mass of Pegmatite. The highest contour is found 295 m. from mean Sea Level and the lowest contour is of 271m. The vein trending N-S is approximately 201m in length & 45m wide. The area bears scattered vegetations. Mostly different kind of bushes is found in the P.L. area. There is no human settlement within the area. Sakri River is flowing 11 km away from South-East to North-West on North-East side of the area.

Regional Geology This mining lease lies within the ‘Bihar Mica Belt’ extending in ENE – WSW direction for a length about 150 Km and in width about 20 Km near about Gajhandi Railway Station (E.R.) – the western and of the ‘Belt’ approximately in Hazaribagh and Hawada Districts, Longitude 85o28’ and Latitude 24o30’ to about 40 Km at Tisri Longitude 86o04’ and Latitude 24o35’ in Giridih and Munger Districts which form the eastern end of the Belt.

Feldspar, quartz and mica occur in pegmatite as intrusive body into the country rocks gneiss and schists. The pegmatite constituents are potash feldspar, quartz and, Mica along with some accessory minerals like Beryl, Tourmaline, apatite, garnets etc. The presence soda – lime – plagioclase maintains higher temperature and influence slow cooling of pegmatite magma, thus favoring the formation of porphyroblasts of potash feldspar in Dhab Mine.

These gneisses and schists have been classed as Bengal gneisses in geological classification of Archean gneisses. The main constitutional characters of these gneisses are that they are finely foliated of heterogeneous composition so that the different schistosity planes have materials of different composition from place to place. The gneisses are closely associated with schists, varieties of accessory minerals are present in these gneisses and schists such as Magnetite, Ilmenite, Garnets, Feldspars, Dumetorite, Andalusite, Sillimanite, Plagioclases, Beryl, micas muscovite and mostly biotite and chlorite etc. In that manner it differs from Bundelkhand gneisses and Nilgiri gneiss even their being of the same age.

The above said ‘Bengal Gneiss’ spreads far and wide into Bengal, Manbhum, Bihar, Orissa, Rewa, Nellore, Karnataka and Rajasthan etc. between the please mentioned rock types, but the homotexial and constitutional relations of respective gneisses and schists are same and mica pegmatite occur in them.

The Bihar Mica Belt lies on the northern fringes of the Chotanagpur Plateau. The southern margin of the ‘Belt’ may be near Parsabad Railway Station (E.R.) – the third station on S. E. from Kodarma at Longitude 85o 45’ and Latitude 24o17’ on Eastern Railway Grand Chord section running E.N.E. to Kharagdiha, Longitude 86o10’ and Latitude 24o25’. The northern margin of the ‘Belt’ may be on line from KAVAKOL longitude 85o55’ and Latitude 24o53’ in Nawada District to Jamui Longitude 85o15’ and Latitude 24o58’ in the district of Munger and its W.S.W. extension to about 10 km North of Gajhandi Railway station mentioned above.

It is also important to note that the ‘Bihar Mica Belt’ mineralogically divided into three zones – mainly Northern zone, the Middle Zone Southern zone, Kodaibank mine lies in Southern zone.

The southern margin of ‘Bihar Mica Belt’ meets a series of granite intrusions. The granites are characterized by having good percentage of plagioclase feldspars of varying composition from albite to oligoclase. The Chotanagpur Plateau, Far and wide, consists of complex rock types, granite and gneisses mixture described by various names such as migmatite, metapelite and para amphibolites. The chief characters of the Bengal genisses are that they exhibit ‘Spheroidal’ weathering which is generally observed here and there in the mica field.

General Stratigraphic Sequence of Rock Type The tentative regional stratigraphic sequence of the Bihar Mica Belt is as follows :- Quaternary & Recent ………………. Alluvium Post Lower Gondwana (Lower to Middle Jurassic) ………………. Dolerite Lower Gondwana ………………. Talchir Sandstone and Shales. BOULDER BED UNCONFORMITY Intrusives ……………… Pegmatite and vein quartz, Meta – Dolerite Meta– Gabbro, Meta – Pyroxenite and Othhoamphibolite. Pre Cambrian Upper Quartzite and micaceous Quartzite and Schist. Meta sedimentaries of Mica Belt Mica schist and mica gneiss with Intercalated amphibolites calc-gneisses and quartz schists of Chotanagpur Granite Gneiss and migmatite.

4 (c) Geology of the Area Out of the sequence of rock formation described above it is found that in this area the main rock types are the surface soil Alluvium directly overlying pre- Cambrian Meta Sedimentaries of ‘Mica Belt’ – the gneisses and schists with associated pegmatite.

The stratigraphic sequence in the area: R O C K T Y P E S A G E 1. Alluvium Quaternary and Recent 2. Alluvium with boulders Earlier to above 3. Pegmatite body Dharwarian 4. Mica Gneisses and Schists Archean

Description of Rock Types: Alluvium (Soil Cover): Alluvium occurs mostly on low lying ground close to nalas in patches of varying extent and thickness. The alluvium is yellow in color, fine grained and plastic, suitable as potter’s clay. It is precipitated clay devoid of any rock boulders or pebbles.

Alluvium with boulders: This type constitutes of soil with boulders large and small of pegmatite minerals and rock and schist rounded all and faceted mixed soil and spread over ground surface.

Pegmatite: It is revealed that it is a zoned pegmatite having a prominent Quartz zone and a Quartz-Feldspar zone. Most of the mica concentrations have been observed located in between the one zone. The second level is almost stopped out but the test inclines indicate the pegmatite as a promising one.

Mica Schist and Gneisses: The mica schist and gneisses are finely foliated and of heterogeneous composition. The different schistosity planes being characterized by material of different composition. The gneisses are closely associated with schists of various compositions. The weathering of schists is characterized so that it gives rise to ellipsoidal masses by the exfoliation of the rocks in regular circular scales. From this peculiarity the gneisses have received the name of ‘Dome Gneisses’. The schistosity type of Bengal gneisses is regular as probably the older member of Archean complex. Mica schists and Gneisses are almost covered by the old debris, so it is difficult to plot on the Geological plan.

The mica samples from DTH are analyzed from State Geological Laboratory, Hazaribagh. The analysis report of Mica is enclosed as Annexure – IV.

3. (e) Geological Plan : A geological plan is prepared on a scale of 1:1000 with a contour interval 1 m and grid interval of 100 m various litho units such as Soil, Pegmatite and soapstone exposed are delineated. Summary of the exploratory work, which had made the basis for preparation of this geological plan, are as follows. 3. (f) Geological Section : A total of 4 nos. of Geological Sections namely A - A’………….. D –D’ is prepared at for the entire deposit on a scale of 1:1000 across the strike of the exposure as well as longitudinally passing through the mineralized zone. Based on the DTH data the Litho units are placed in the section. 3. (h) Estimation of Reserves: Parameter of resources estimation:- The resources & reserve is estimated on the basis of UNFC Classification in the following manner. Reserve has been estimated based on availability of Quartz, feldspar & mica exposed and on the basis of 7 drill holes within the area. On the basis of occurrence of deposit in these holes the resources has been estimated on the basis of cross section X length of influence method. a) Sections have been drawn from boundary to boundary across the lease area considering the litho units in the area & location of the DTH. b) Cross Sectional area have been estimated on the basis of cross sections. c) Length of influence has been measured by the taking half of the section interval distance on both side of each section.

d) Scrap mica will be recovered @30% of total volume of recovered (80%) pegmatite. It is evident from the drill holes & quarry face exposure that a considerable thickness of pegmatite body with concentration workable Quartz, feldspar & mica presents within the area. Detailed geological mapping has been done & based on level of exploration & drilled log the pegmatite body is mapped & the proved zone & probable zone also marked on the plan.

The occurrence of Quartz, feldspar & mica in the given directions can be justified with presence of workable deposit in the drill holes where mica of considerable thickness, about 15m to 30m is present as per log data and, hence, this type of massive and considerably thick deposit is likely to continue in the area.

The measured mineral resources have been computed as the mica crops out in the existing drill hole as demarcated in Plate No. 4.

In all the cases, areas have been taken as the area marked on Geological Plan. The bulk volume has been calculated by multiplying length of influence with sectional area of the mica of drill hole as derived. Geological resources have been estimated as in situ resources hence recovery percentage is not taken into account.

The details of calculation of reserve are enclosed as annexure V.

CHAPTER – IV MINING

4.1. The entire area is highly potential area. The work will be started from the southern portion of the area and further developed and advanced towards northern part of the area. In the Lease area there has 1m soil. During quarry development some amount of soil will be removed and this will be used for road dressing. The benching system 6mX6m will be practiced in the area, in order to comply with the provisions of Metalliferous Mines Regulations, 1961. Details of advancement and formation of benches are shown in Development Plan & Sections (Plate Nos. 5, 5A 6, 6A 7, 7A 8, 8A, 9 & 9A) on the scale of 1:1000.

4.2. Mining Strategy: it is proposed to carry out only opencast mechanized mining for this plan period i.e. five years. The operations like drilling of shot hole, sorting of ore and loading will be done mechanically by deploying 100mm dia wagon drilling to drill and blast holes having burden and spacing of 3m x 3.5m in stagger grid pattern. Muffle blasting will be adopted as precautionary measure. 4.3. Production Targets: Year wise Production of Quartz, Feldspar & Mica from the area has been calculated by cross sectional method. The cross sectional area has been multiplied by the advancement to be worked in each bench as length of influence to get the bulk volume. Thus the value obtained has been multiplied by tonnage factor to get the actual production of Quartz, Feldspar & Mica in each bench. Year wise calculation has been made separately and the detail of year wise development of the quarry is given in Annexure.

CHAPTER – V BLASTING

Blasting:- Deep Blasting will be practiced in this area with 3m burden, 3.5m spacing after obtaining required permission from the concerned authority prior to obtaining permission for deep hole Blasting, Jackhammer, compressor combination drilling and blasting will be practice with 1.5m burden, 1.5m spacing for production of quartz and feldspar. 5.1. Drilling and Blasting Parameters Blasting in open cast mines is of utmost importance not only because it has to be compatible with the shovel/loader but also preferably as will obviate the necessity of secondary blasting which is known to be very costly. The feed size for the crusher has to be low below 600mm. because it is important that variations of the hardness of the formation don’t result in waste use of explosive with unbalanced product size. It is also important that fines generated are kept as low as possible. The distribution of charge in the blast hole is as follows:

Bottom charge with booster (slurry explosives) and column charge also by low speed slurry explosives will be charged in the ratio of 15:85 respectively. Considering the nature of strata / deposit and height of the bench deck charging shall be carried out in a following manner: a) Deck charging with drill cutting. b) Air decking. 5.2. Pattern and Sequence of firing The normal pattern of holes with 3m burden, 3.5m spacing will provide the best results. The pattern of delay blasting in conjunction with use of detonating fuse will take into account existence of any natural cleavage layout and sequence of firing of the blast – holes pattern proposed for blasting.

Depending upon the composition of the formations, some degree of deck-loading may have to be resorted for better fragmentation. 5.3. Types of explosives to be used. Nitro Mixture explosives are used for blasting. Deck charging is used wherever necessary. 5.4. Powder Factor It is hoped that powder factor of over 8 tonnes per kg. of explosives is achieved.

5.5. Storage of Explosives An agreement will be made by the lessee with the blasting agency before starting the mine. Drilling and blasting operations will be carried on strictly as per the provision of MMR, 1961 under the strict supervision of qualified persons. For storage and issue of explosives, the relevant provisions of Indian Explosives Act, 1884 will be followed. Blasting time is generally fixed at lunch interval or after the working shift-taking. All required precautions, like marking the danger zone with red flags, use of warning signals and providing blasting shelters etc.

5.6. Drilling and Blasting: Although the mine is very far away from any population, precaution will be taken to minimize nuisance caused by blasting. All necessary safety precaution is being taken in accordance with the explosive act. Precaution are also taken as per permission given under MMR 1961 106(2) (b) by Director of Mines Safety for deep hole drilling & Blasting and usage of heavy earth moving machinery. Vibration: In order to minimize vibration the precautions shall be taken: 1. Blast holes shall be initiated by non-electric (NONEL) down-the-hole (DTH) delay detonators. 2. Care shall be taken to ensure that effective burden is not excessive and the face shall be kept sufficiently long. The burden shall be kept at 3m & spacing shall be 3.5m. 3. Optimum charge per delay shall be kept as low as possible. 4. The depth of the hole shall be normally 6 m, which includes about 0.6 meter of sub grade drilling, i.e. about 10% of the depth of the hole. The diameter of the hole shall be kept at 100 mm. 5. Adoption of two row blasting and V pattern of firing. 6. The firing of maximum possible no. of blast holes towards free face. 7. Use of delay detonators between the holes and rows of blasting.

Noise: The following steps have been taken to minimize pollution by noise. 1. Blasting is well designed & blasted periodically rather than couple of hastily unplanned blast daily. All the explosive and the NONEL detonator is put within the blast hole & instead of detonating fuse, NONEL trunk-line-delay-detonator is used for trunk line connections. 2. Blasting shall be so planned as to minimize boulders, so that secondary blasting shall be reduced.

3. Green belt with trees of varying height shall be developed around the quarry to absorb the blast noise & reduce noise.

Fly rocks: While blasting, if the holes shall be not properly designed and charged, the main thrust of the blast will be upwards and instead of fragmenting the rock, there will be an outward surge resulting in rock fragments flying. In order to prevent fly rocks: 1. Stemming length shall be kept equal to the burden. 2. Inter-row delay shall be selected in such a way each row pushes its burden forward rather than in an upward direction. 3. Toe formation shall be avoided by proper design of drilling and blasting as toe hole blasting involves increased risk of fly rocks. 4. To avoid fly rock problem at the edge of hill light charged muffle blasting shall be under taken.

CHAPTER – VIII USE OF MINERALS

8.1. USE OF MINERALS: (a) Feldspar: Potash felspar is mostly used in insulator manufacture and the glass and ceramic industries. The glass and ceramic industries are the major consumers of Potash Felspar

and account for 80% of the total consumption. In glass industry Potash - K2O content is

important for its action as a flue and the alumina – AI2O3 content provides resistance to impact, bending and thermal shock. In ceramic bodies Potash Felspar is preferred although soda felspar works as a good flues and can be satisfactorily used in developing ceramic bodies, because potash felspar has P.C.C. value 10 as compared to 0.9 of soda felspar. Oligoclase high in lime, on fusion, becomes partially crystallized instead of yielding solid glass, hence it is undesirable. Impurities of iron, manganese, Sericite and lime plagioclases are deleterious in ceramics. (b) Quartz: Quartz is one of the most common minerals. Quartz crystals if pure untwined clear and transparent posses piezo – electric properties which are of great value in telecommunication and hence of strategic importance. Quartz is also the source of silicon which is of great industrial importance and is utilized in the manufacture of abrasives like Silicon – Carbides, Silica – gel, the silicones, Ferro Silicon and of refractory like silica bricks. Silica sand is used for manufacture of glass in ceramics, for making china – ware and porcelain and as refractory material. Also for special purposes in foundries for filler beds sand for sheet asphalt and as an abrasive. Natural silica stone abrasives include the high siliceous rocks, such as the hard compact sandstones, which are quarried and shaped into suck articles as ground stones, pulp stones, grinding pebbles and liners. Diatomite, Tripoli and natural amorphous quartz are natural silica abrasives. (c) Mica :

Mica is a mineral that is commonly used in the electrical industry, to produce shingles and other building materials, and to prepare samples for microscopy. It has also been used to create window-like panes on stoves and lanterns, and to facilitate pigment suspension in paints and dyes. Its sheet-like cleavage structure and high heat resistance make it an ideal substance for these purposes. According to the Minerals Education Coalition, mica is a key component in wallboard joint compound because it gives a smooth consistency and prevents the dried substance from

cracking. It is also added to paint because it keeps the pigments from separating from the paint base, promoting a more even color. Mica also makes paint more water-resistant. It is added to plastics for the same reasons -- it provides reinforcement and helps molded products achieve their shapes without cracking.

Mica is commonly used in the electrical industry because of its ability to withstand heat, conduct electricity and withstand high voltage. High-quality muscovite mica is commonly used as a dielectric substance in capacitors, and large sheets of mica are used as backing for heating wires because of their high heat tolerance. In microscopy laboratories, much smaller sheets of mica are used to mount tiny samples allowing for visualization of plasma membranes and even DNA molecules.

11.1.2. Water: Sakri River is flowing 11 km away from South-East to North-West on North-East side of the area. it has been observed that the ground water table is 20-25meter below the ground level. The quality of the water sample from the tube will be analyzed. 11.1.3. Terrestrial Ecology: The study of Terrestrial Ecology involves the identification of animals, birds including nomadic and migratory, reptiles and amphibian fauna. Further, the dominant species of vegetation also needs identification. 11.1.3.1. Fauna: Only domestic animals like cow, goat, buffalo, cat, dog etc are observed / found in the area. As there is no natural forest cover, the area does not contain any wild animals. Only stray jackals are seen sometimes. Both poisonous and non-poisonous types of snakes are seen during summer and rainy seasons. 11.1.3.2. Flora: The area is virtually denuded with vegetation. Neem, Palash, Eucalyptus, Akashmani trees are seen at places around the area. 11.1.4. Quality of Air: There are no crushers within 5 km. radius. Hence pollutant in the air is very low, only noxious fumes of vehicles. Though, air analysis has not been done so far, but it appears that air pollution level will be significant in the crusher area.

Review of Implementation of Mining Plan / Scheme of Mining including Five Years Progressive Closure Plan up-to the Final Closure of Mine: Not applicable. 12.4.0. Closure Plan: 12.4.1. Mined Out Land: In general, the environmental impacts will always be adverse, due to mining operation, if proper abatement measures will not be taken. The magnitude and significance of the environmental pollution caused by mining, depends on type of mineral, method of mining and beneficiation etc. As a result of mining operation, the original ground profile will be altered. There is no soil within this area so after exhausting of the mineral from the area the quarried out void area will be converted into rain water harvesting pit or water reservoir Please refer Chapter IV of the mining Plan. 12.4.2. Water Quality Management: There is no surface water and ground water body available in the lease area. The proposed area with its surroundings is gently sloping. Sakri River is flowing 11 km away from South-East to North-West on North-East side of the area. The area is much above HFL and there was no occasion of flooding in the area. From the tube well, sunk in the area, it has been observed that the ground water table is 20-25 meter below the ground level. The quality of the water sample from the tube will be analyzed. The proposed mining operation is mechanized and does not affect any pollution at the remarkable scale.

An ambient water quality monitoring network will be designed for assessment of the baseline status of ambient water quality. The parameters to be monitored are given as below:

(1) PH— (2) E.C. --- (3) Ca- Concentration

(4) Mg-Concentration (5) Na- Concentration (6) K- Concentration

(7) HCO3—Concentration of bi-carbonate (8) Cl- Concentration of Chloride

of heavy machinery. Blasting & transportation will only create dust or air pollution which will be of very less impact.

Dust, generated due to movement of vehicles will be checked by water sprinkling carried out, time to time on all the approached roads. The dust generated due to crushing is negligible, if increased; it will be checked by I.D. fan & cyclone system. Therefore, no significant impact on the quality of air in the surrounding area is feared.

An ambient air quality monitoring network will be designed for assessment of the baseline status of ambient air quality. The parameters to be monitored are given as below:

 PM 2.5

 Sulphur Dioxide (SO2)

 Nitrogen Oxide (NO2)  Carbon Monoxide(CO)

The frequency of sampling shall be twice a week for complete one season. Ambient air quality monitoring is proposed to be conducted for one season.

Noise: Equivalent continuous noise level (LAeq) in and around the project area will be monitored. Noise readings will be taken at every hour for 24 hours at each location. The monitoring will be done for one season as a part of EIA study.

Others: As a part of the study the information on the following will be collected through forest department and revenue offices: Preparation of an inventory of major species of trees, herbs, shrubs and timber trees in the area;  List of economically important plants, if any;  Presence of rare and endangered species, if any;  Preparation of an inventory of major wildlife species including mammals, Reptiles, birds, etc.  National parks, if any;  Wild life sanctuaries game reserve, if any;  Tiger reserve / elephant reserve / turtle nesting ground, if any;  Breeding grounds, if any;  Core zone of biosphere reserve, if any;  Habitat for migratory birds, if any;  Mangrove area, if any;
