Exploration It is a new quarry, mining operations are not initiated.

Geological Reserves Based on the information obtained from surface features, six cross sections were drawn at 80m interval across Quartz reef. By make use of the cross sections, the geological reserves are estimated by cross sectional method, the cross sectional area of the Quartz is multiplied by the zone of influence to arrive at the volume of the mineral. The reserves available up to 455m RL are considered for proved category of G1 Scale, the reserves available to a thickness of 15m between 455‐440m RL are considered for probable category of G2 Scale and the reserves available to a thickness of 15m between 440‐425m RL are considered for possible category of G3 Scale. The tonnage factor of Quartz is considered as 2.5 and the recovery of saleable mineral is considered as 90% from in‐situ Quartz. The reserves estimation is detailed in following Table A‐2.

ANNEXURE ‐ II Drilling and Blasting Drilling machine will be deployed for benches of 3m. Drilling Parameters This method involves a single row of closely spaced uncharged holes along the neat excavation line. Line drill holes are generally jackhammer holes having spaced at 1m, along the excavation line. The line drill holes are loaded with lighter explosives. This technique gives maximum protection to the surroundings from the ground vibrations. Fly‐rock is another important adverse impact of blasting operations. Muffle blasting or covering of blast holes properly before blasting, is the common solution to prevent fly‐rock from damaging human habitants and structures. Generally, mat or mesh (40 mm x 40 mm size) made of preferably of locally available steel ropes (5 to 6 mm) are used for muffling purpose. Sand bags weighing 40 to 50 kg are kept over the mesh at an interval of 3 m. The drill holes will be drilled by using jackhammers in two stages by keeping spacing and burden at 1m and 1.5m to a depth of 3m. These drill holes will be charged with low strength slurry based explosives and ANFO of 2kgs. The blasted material will be loaded into tippers by using excavator

ANNEXURE ‐ III

Water Requirement Water requirement is mainly for drinking purpose, domestic purpose, green belt maintaining and for sprinkling on Mine haulage roads the water shall be drawn from nearby village. The domestic waste water shall be sent to septic tank followed by soak pit. Rainwater Catch Pond of 20 KL capacity will be provided to collect the storm water for reuse. This will ensure that the rainwater is effectively used and minimizes the drawl of ground water resources. The water requirement is presented in table A‐4. Table A‐4 Water Requirement S. No Water Usage Quantity KLD 1 Wet drilling operation (On production basis @ 100 Ltr/1 m3) 6.7 2 Water sprinkling on haul roads @ 1Ltr/Sq. Mt (4500 m2)+1/4th for waste dump 1.5 3 Domestic @ 45 Ltr/Head (24 No’s) 1.1 4 Green Belt @ 0.2 KL for 0.3 ha – 2 times a day 0.6 Total 9.9

Site services It is proposed to provide the site services like mine office and other statutory constructions like rest shelter, first aid, work shed and drinking water as required at the quarry lease area. Drinking water will be supplied to the workers from the bore well opened in the adjacent agricultural field or from nearby village.

ANNEXURE – III Solid Wastes Generation and Management Plan The quartz is exposed on the surface. The waste generation is expected between 10%. About 27816 Tons waste will be generated during five years plan period. Dump Area The waste dump is located in north side of lease area. The waste generated will be dumped over an area of 2500m2 to a height of 18m. When the dumps reach their optimum height suitable greenery will be grown on these dumps to stabilize them. Garland drains and retaining walls also will be maintained in this mine area. When the dumps reach their optimum height suitable greenery will be grown on these dumps to stabilize them. Garland drains also will be maintained in this mine area.
