A) Mining Method Open Cast method of mining is carried out in this mine by manually and semi mechanization by using compressor operated jack hammer drills, excavators and dumper etc. Transportation will be made by trucks to dispatching points. Hydraulic excavator and compressor jack hammers were used for cutting the rock. Close shed drilling of 0.2m was adopted along the strike line and charged with low explosive to avoid feather cracks. Exploration Production has not been started due to some financial problems. It is a new quarry. Mineable reserves and life of the Quarry Total color granite reserves = 730128 m3. The color granite reserves blocked under buffer zone (lxbxh = 370x7.5x21) = 58275m3 Mineable color granite reserves = 671853 m3 Salable color granite reserves as 12% R. F = 80622 m3 Life of the quarry: Mineable reserves/annual production=80622/1109=72.7 years or 73 years. Scheme development and production The scheme of development and production for the first five years has been planned taking into consideration the nature of the deposit within the lease area. It is observed that the sheet rock is exposed on Southwestern side of Q.L area without any overburden and therefore the development of the quarry is confined towards South-Western side of the Q.L area. The proposed year wise working area is as follows. Production plan for five years

A-4 Vishwapriya Granites Annexure of Form-1

There is a vertical and free face is available on South-Western side of the Q.L area. So the South-Western side of the Q.L area is selected to work for next five years production. It is envisaged to produce 1109m3 of salable granite blocks in each year. To raise this target production about 9240 m3 of rock mass has to be mined. The site inspection reveals that the Southwestern portion of Q.L area is suitable for development during first 5 years program. Most of this area is covered by the sheet rock from top to bottom. During five years operations a total rock mass of 30150m3 will be excavated and 3620m3 of granite blocks will be recoverable from this rock mass and remaining material of about 26530m3 will go as waste mineral. Year wise production and waste generation details are presented in table A-2. Table A-2 Year wise Granite Production and Waste generation

This involves losing of the primary block from mother rock. Hence primary cutting will be done by line drilling method where close spaced parallel holes along straight line will be made. Line drilling method is used for separation of primary blocks.

1) Once the free face is developed in working place, the primary cut is taken up over a maximum length of 10 mtrs with a width of 3mtrs and to a depth of 6 mtrs. Depends upon the joints availability. These dimensions are confirmed as for field studies. Primary block will be cut into secondary blocks by jackhammer drilling and wedge cutting and this block will be dislodged from in-situe position by an excavator. 2) Line drilling method will be used for cutting the primary blocks which involve drilling and blasting. 3) The holes are charged with low explosive cartridge like gunpowder and non-delay detonators for smooth blasting. 4) The use of delay detonators causes fragmentation and cracks in rocks. The non- detonating cords are inserted into the holes and the holes are stemmed with muck and plugged at the mouth and fired. 5) Thus the block will separate from the mother rock, which is pulled off from the face with cranes or shovels. SUB DIVISION OF LARGE PRIMARY BLOCKS INTO SECONDARY BLOCK This will be done during close spaced holes (along a line) down to the depth and the secondary block will be removed easily by just pulling it with the help of proclain. Close spaced holes will be drilled to the half the length of the block on either side of it by using wedges blocks can be separated. Production of commercial blocks After primary separation, the rock mass will be carefully examined to avoid hair line cracks, mineral segregations and veins etc. The dressing of the rough blocks will be made by chipping the edges and geometrically equating the edges of the block at the dressing yard. The rough blocks obtained after primary cut it will be dressed for obtained good geometric shape of granite. Thus the commercial blocks are produced.

ANNEXURE II DRILLING & BLASTING Drilling and blasting plays vital role in determining the size and shape of rough blocks. Drilling Pattern is important in developing a working face and also preparing the rough blocks suitable for their use in appropriate processing units. There are no important places in and around the area, blasting will be carried with precautionary measures. a. Broad Blasting Parameters Drill-Hole patterns for primary and secondary smooth blasting. Uniform single line equidistant holes (line drilling) will be deployed for separation of blocks from mother rock. In the case of sheet rock the primary drilling will be in the form of equidistant vertical holes to take out blocks of Gang Saw. 1. Drilling Parameters i. Drill holes diameter: 74/Pmm ii. Depth and inclination of the blast holes: 3 meter in case of separation primary blocks depending on the block size. Then the drill-hole will be vertical. iii. Spacing and Burden: 1.5m X 3 m iv. Stemming and charging of the blast hole: The blast hole will be charged with 100 grams of explosives and filled with clan pills subsequently; the shot hole will be stemmed using brass stemming rods. v.
