PROJECT DESCRIPTION
3.1 Location
Project Proponent: Shri. Rajesh P. Timblo Mailing Address: B1 – B2, Felecinta Complex, Near Statue Circle, Gogol, Post Box No. 785, Fatorda - Margoa, Goa – 403602. Mine Location: Survey no 2(part) of Govt. Forest land, 5(part), 6, 7(part), 8(part), 10(part), 12(part) & 13(part) is situated in private land of Curpem Villages, Sanguem District, South Goa District, Goa State. Total Extent: 70.7948 Ha, as per DGPS survey approved by DMG, Goa (37.9602 Ha of forest land and 32.8346 Ha private lands). Type of Land: Forest and Private lands.
3.2 Alternative Sites
This is an existing/operating mine. Therefore, alternative site not applicable.
3.3 Geology of the Area 3.3.1 Regional Geology
The area has an undulating topography. Two small mounts occur within the mining lease. One is located in the north-eastern corner of the lease and the other the occupies south-east quadrant of the lease. Broadly the north-eastern portion of the lease area is elevated as compared to the south western part. In the former part, the highest elevation is 125 m RL and in the latter, the general ground level is 84 to 85 m RL. The two mounds form the water divided within the lease area. The valleys trend towards north-east and west-south-west. There are no perennial sources of water within the lease area. The rain water drains into the natural water course existing in the vicinity.
Goa is dominantly covered by the rocks belonging to the Dharwar Super Group of of Archaen -Proterozoic age except for a narrow strip along the north-eastern corner occupied by Deccan traps of upper Cretaceous-lower Eocene age. The general strike of these formations is NNW-SSE. Iron ore formations of Goa belong to the Goa group of rocks, which form a part of Dharwar Super group of rocks, which are of Precambrian age. The Goa Group had been sub- divided into 4 formations namely - The Barcem formation, The Sanvordem formation, The Bicholim formation & The Vagheri formation. The Barcem formation is the oldest

14 Pre-feasibility Report for Godbaem Ou Cuttiem (Curpem) Mine (TC No. 63/51) of Shri. Rajesh P. Timblo, Goa.
and the Vagheri is the youngest. The iron ore formations occur within the Bicholim Formation of Goa group of rocks. The major rock types within these formations are the
Quartz Chlorite Biotitic Schist’s with lavers of chert, iron oxides, carbonates, metabasalts, metagabbros, quartzite & Limestone. The iron ore formations are found to be included within the Quartz Chlorite Schist horizon. These formations have been intruded by younger intrusive which have been completely weathered and are referred to as clastic dykes. The general trends of this formation conform to the Dharwarian trend.
The iron ore formations are generally capped by thick laterite cap of 15-20mts followed by lateritic lumpy ore. Below the lateritic lumpy ore Zone, lies the powdery ore zones and within the powdery ore zone and within the powdery ore zone, these are numerous clay intercalations. Extensive zones of manganiferous clays with free silica with decomposed quartzite from the footwall.

ORGANISATION AND MANPOWER
6.1 Manpower
Efficient management of the unit requires judicious manpower planning, selection of Qualified and experienced personnel and appropriate organizational structure, clearly defining functions and responsibility of managerial and supervisory staff.
The manpower requirement in accordance with the targeted production of mine operation has been estimated on the following consideration:-
The estimated production and productivity level which is achievable in various sections of the plant with the proposed plant and machineries. The total number of statutory and non-statutory personnel required to perform various duties associated with the different processing steps.
A preliminary estimate of the manpower requirement allowing for leave, absenteeism, sickness and holidays for smooth and efficient operation of various sectors of the plant has been prepared purely on technical and managerial grounds primarily to indicate the order of manpower requirement. It would be emphasized that manpower requirement will have to be reviewed at time of commissioning of the plant. Further, implementation of industrial laws and regulations and location factors of labour employment will also have to be considered. In order to operate and maintain plant facilities, including its technical general administration needs, estimated manpower requirement is estimated to be 100 persons.
Company has already appointed key personnel for the project. The Company has also appointed many middle and junior level staff who will work to complete the project within the schedule period. Least difficulty is expected in case of unskilled person as the same is available in plenty in the State of Goa. It may be mentioned that the company shall be appointing skilled, experienced and semiskilled manpower requirement in connection with this industry by recruiting people from all parts of the Country.

CHAPTER 7
ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS
7.1 Introduction
The mine is located at a distance of 0.5 km (aerial distance) from the Salaulim dam backwater and 7.5 km from Salaulim dam structure. This mine is located at an aerial distance of 2.5 kms from Netravali Wild Life Sanctuary. The method of mining is mechanized open cast mining.
7.2 Environmental Issues
Major environmental issues of the open cast method of mining are:
Principal sources of pollution, The nature of pollution Proposed measures required for meeting the prevailing statutory requirements of fugitive/ambient emission, wastewater discharge characteristics, noise level, OHSAS etc.
Pollution prevention and control measures for each of the section are enumerated below:
7.3 Pollution Control Measures
7.3.1 Air pollution control
The measures to control the air pollution will ensure the ambient air quality standards as laid down by Central Pollution Control Board. The roads inside the lease area will be maintained, water sparklers are adopted and also green belt will be developed all along the boundary and also either sides of the haulage roads to reduce the dust emissions and ensuring the PUC certificate for the vehicles.
7.3.2 Water Pollution Control
The pollutants present in the surface water/runoff water from the mine will be reduced to acceptable levels by adoption of the following schemes:
26 Prepared By METAMORPHOSISSM Project Consultants Pvt. Ltd., Bengaluru
27 Pre-feasibility Report for Godbaem Ou Cuttiem (Curpem) Mine (TC No. 63/51) of Shri. Rajesh P. Timblo, Goa.
There is no water required for mining activity. Domestic wastewater will be treated in the Soak Pit and Septic Tank. Storm Water Drainage –
Storm water drainage system shall consist of well-designed open surface drains network so that all the storm water is efficiently drained off without any water logging. Based on the rainfall intensity of the area drainage system shall be designed on the basis of the storm water flow and the depth available at the out fall point so as to ensure no back flow. Storm water drains shall be provided on both sides of roads. Rectangular drains shall be provided based on the quantity of storm water to be conveyed and depth limitations.
7.3.3 Noise Pollution Control
Various measures proposed to reduce noise pollution include reduction of noise at source, provision of acoustic lagging for the equipment and suction side silencers, selection of low noise equipment, isolation of noisy equipment from working personnel.
