3.0 MININGACTIVITY Geology and Reserves Regional Geological setup The formations in which Barytes mineralization occurs belong to the lower Kadapa system constituting the following sub divisions and sequence. Lower Kadapa system : Cheyair series : (Younger) Traps Tadipatri shales Pulivendla quartzites Papagni series : Shales Vempali lime stones Gulcheru quartzite’s The basal Gulcheru quartzite’s rest unconformable over the older crystalline of Archaen age. The Papagni series stretches along the western margin of the characteristic crescent shaped Kadapa basin for a distance of 250km starting from near Kurnool in the north traversing the districts of Kurnool, Anantapur & Kadapa. The rocks have southern dips in the northern portion becoming easterly in the mid section & gradually changing to north easterly in the south with some local variations. The dips of Papagni series of beds are gentle ranging from 8º to 30º. The Pulivendula quartzite’s occur as comparatively narrow bands separating the Vempalli lime stone & shales from the overlying Tadipatri shale’s. These rock formations have been intruded by a suite of basic igneous rocks, viz. traps. The Barytes veins of importance are confined to the Vempalli (dolomitic) limestone’s & their associated traps. The regional structural features of importance are the number of prominent faults both along strike and dip of the formations through to be related to shearing effects due to which the associated complimentary fractures either as tension or shear have localized the Barytes deposit as fissure filling.

Local Geology The rock formations in and around the applied area are dolomitic rocks belong to Vempalli stage Papaghni series. Though the topsoil is occurring here and there about 0.3m to 0.5m thickness, the entire area is covered by dolomite. Veins of the Barytes are confined to the fissures with steep dips of 80º to 85° towards North. The typical pinching & swelling characteristics of the vein and inclusion of lenses are observed around the applied area. The applied area is located in the Barytes belt which is about 15 km length trending almost east west i.e is roughly from Talapalli Village up to Velpula village. Barytes centre extracted by Underground method. It is prepared to follow Underground of mining in the applied area. The based Gulcheruvu Quartzite’s are separated from older Achaeans by Eparcheans unconformity. The unique feature of Kadapa system is that every series has based Quartzite’s which are fallows by shales & lime stones.

The Barytes deposits occur either as filling or as veins in all the dolomitic limestone’s and shales. They are also associates as traps from the south end (Gulcheruvu) the North (Bollaram). All the largest vein deposits occur in the traps and adjacent to traps. In the areas with suffered faulting. Solicitation and mineralization had occurred resulting in the formation of Quartz and Barytes respectively. The applied area is confined to Lower Kadapa system, especially the Vempalli formations. The formation comprises purple & Buff shale in to needed layers or Dolomite. The Dolomite Exhibits features of shallow marine environment. The formation has intrusive trap sills with Barytes faults all along the strike and dip formations have localized the Barytes deposit as fissure fillings in the area. To the east and west side of the applied area Barytes mining is being carried out to depth ranging from 20m to 200m. In this area the Barytes vein is occurring as vein type with width ranging from 1m to 2 m. The trend of the Barytes vein is almost east west and dip is 85° towards North. The strike length of 802m towards east west direction with highest and lowest elevations as 490m and 290m. As seen from the adjacent mine working the strike direction was marked and the adjacent mine working are gone upto 200m depth where as the occurrence of Barytes was based from 9m to 200m. from surface..

PROJECT DESCRIPTION WITH PROCESSDETAILS Method of Mining a) TYPE OF MINING : The method of mining will be underground method of mining operation are proposed in the plan period. This method and mode of operation is taken into account mainly for the interest of safe and scientific mining, conservation of mineral and protection of environment by consideration of all the parameters and the geological attitudes of the ore body. Considering the geology and nature of the mineral occurrence and also due to stable strata condition, the proposed mining will be carried out by underground method. It is proposed to open 6 shafts staring from eastern side to western side namely Shaft No 1 to 6 in the applied area and in that shaft no 2, 4 & 6 will be used as 'man-way'. For every 10m horizontal distance one cross (level) cut will be made to connect the shafts, interconnection & man way in systematic manner as described (i) MODE OF ENTRY :The mode of entry is by shafts. Total 6 number of shafts are proposed. The surface RL of the shaft opening is 492m RL (Shaft 1 & 2), 475m RL (Shaft 3 & 4) and 465m RL (Shaft 5 & 6). The size of the shafts are 2.5 mts x 2.5 mts. The dimensions of the level 2mx2m. Shaft no.2, 4 & 6 will be treated as man way for the workers to enter into the mine by providing ladder way. Total 6 shafts, 4 levels and suitable interconnection at interval of 10 m x 10m will be formed during the plan period. (ii) UNDER GROUND LAY OUT : Total 6 number of shafts are proposed. The surface RL of the shaft opening is 492m RL (Shaft 1 & 2), 475m RL (Shaft 3 & 4) and 465m RL (Shaft 5 & 6). The size of the shafts are 2.5 mts x 2.5 mts. The dimensions of the level 2m x 2m. 6 levels will be formed connecting all the shafts at 414 m RL, keeping surface to first level at 10m and level to level at 10m interval respectively. Shaft no. 2, 4 & 6 will be provided ladder ways and shaft no 1, 3, & 5 will be utilized to transport of material from below ground to the surface. Near Shaft No 3 & 5 mechanical ventilator will be provided to keep sufficient air for the persons working in the underground. Regarding underground electrification, initially cap lamps will be provided later on after obtaining permission from DGMS, the underground electrification will be done with electricity. (iii) SYSTEM OF DRILLING & BLASTING : For drilling purpose a stopper or air legs mounted jackhammer machine shall be used with the required motive power of compressed air (140cfm) supplied through a pipe line from surface. A wedge cut holes shall be practiced in development of levels and shafts using hand held pneumatic drill machine namely silver 30 holmanco with chisel type bit. The blasting operations will be done manually and the general pattern of holes is shown in Annexure – IV. The frequency of blasting with the number of holes blasted at a time being restricted to 10 holes will be so regulated that as for as possible vein matter and country rock are blasted separately. Blasting will be done two to three rounds and once a day (shift).

The explosives used in the blast holes is formadyne in cartridges of 20cm length and 25mm dia initiated by detonator through waterproof plastic coated safety fuse. A total of 5 to 6kg of explosives will be consumed for each advance of face, the normal pull being 0.8m to 0.9m. All the regulations as per the MMR1961 & Indian Explosives act regarding storage & handling of explosives will be strictly followed. For each blasting around 0.8m of advancement will be achieved and the required explosives will be 5kgs. So for one blasting (2mx2mx0.8m) 3.2 cum of development will be achieved. During 5 years plan period a total production & development in both shafts and levels will be 39858 tonnes as explained in year wise production & development. So the required number of blasting will be 39858/3.2 = 12456 and explosives required will be 12456 x 5kg = 62280kgs. For one year the required explosives will be 62280/5 = 12456kgs & for one month 12456/12 = 1038kgs & for 1 day 1038/26 = 40 kgs.. (iv) METHOD AND SEQUENCE OF STOPPING : No stopping is proposed during the plan period, however in future it is proposed to extract the mineral by overhead of cut and fill method of stopping and filling the voids with the waste rock material, which will be brought down through a set of winzes. By the way all the waste rock generated during the development, will be completely utilized for the filling up the voids. (v) SYSTEM OF UNDERGROUND TRANSPORTATION : The system of hoist will be by skips operating on an inclined haulage so that from pit top to pit bottom an inclined track line will be made & extended with progress of depth. In the below ground tram line with tubs will be provided in the levels and loaded tubs will be trammed from the working points manually to the haulage shaft bottom similarly pit top also surface track line & tipping tubs arrangements will be provided for handling of Barytes as well as waste. Pit bottom lay out consist of loading arrangement at inclined haulage bottom connected with underground levels developed in the Barytes for transport of Barytes/waste rock to the surface (please see Plate No. 8).. (vi) SYSTEM OF WINDING/HOISTING : Hoisting will be provided at Shaft no.1, 3, & 5 to transport the waste rock and mineral from the underground to the surface with 12 HP engine coupled with winch and rope 5/8´´ diameter. In the haulage roadway 15kg /m of rails will be laid down in order to haul the waste & mineral. The gauge of the haulage track will be 2 feet wide. The capacity of the skip will be 0.75 T. A track line with tub will be laid down in the levels to transport the ROM to the hoisting point. This will be sufficient for handling the waste & mineral of the mine. (vii) SUBSIDENCE MANAGEMENT : No subsidence is proposed to be carried out in first five years period. During the first five years the subsidence management not yet proposed, due the lower level depth of mineral excavation proposed up to level-4 only.

The subsidence shall be taking place repeatedly and therefore subsidence management measures shall have to be planned accordingly. A methodology for such a subsidence management will suggest in first scheme of mining. (viii) MINE VENTILATION : The aim of mine ventilation is to provide for work persons in the underground air with permissible standards as stipulated below. Oxygen Not less than 19 % Carbondioxide Not more than 0.5 % After blasting within 5 minutes dilution of CO and NOx should be less than 50 ppm and 5 ppm respectively. Quantity of air /person Not less than 6 cum Velocity Not more than 4m/second in working face. Not more than 8m/second in shafts/inclines with man winding. Not more than 15m/second in ventilation shaft without man winding Up to 10m depth of working without much lateral extension of working, natural ventilation shall suffice supplemented by compressed air for clearing of noxious fumes. The proposed mine depth is about 120m. A mechanical ventilator of exhaust type will be installed at near Proposed Shaft no 2 & 6 producing 20,000 cft/m capacity of 7.5 HP. Necessary devices will be provided where & when necessity arises during development & subsequent stages. b) EXTENT OF MECHANIZATION Forconductingoftheproposedundergroundoperationsthefollowingequipmentwill be required.

QUANTITY OF WASTES TO BE GENERATED (LIQUID AND SOLID) AND SCHEME FOR THEIR MANAGEMENT/ DISPOSAL Solid Waste Generation& its Disposal The waste material that will be generated due to mining is doloritic rock. During the five-year plan period about 11502tonnes of waste material will be generated and a little topsoil about 10 to 20cum quantity will also be generated. This topsoil will be used in plantation of the applied area. A non mineralized area of about 10000 sqm (580m x 17m) located north side will be utilized for stacking of about 11502tonnes waste material (Please see Plate No. 8 for location of dumping site.) It is proposed to keep the height of the dump upto 15m only. The coarse lumps of dolorite shall be arranged as a pack wall like structure at dumps slopes bottom in order to avoid rolling down of waste material. For stabilization of this dump grass will be grown over the dumps slope periodically. Liquid Effluent No liquid effluent will be generated at the mine site. The domestic waste water generated will be sent to septic tanks followed by soak pits.

Water Environment 4. Land Environment 5. Socio Welfare Measures 6. Occupation Safety and Health Measures 7. Budget for Environmental Protection/management Measures

1. AIRENVIRONMENT a) Sources of Air Pollution There will be no impact on the air environment due to underground mining. However, during blasting compressed air flushing will be done. The surface air environment will have impact due to the trucks that ply on road to carry the material mined & dumping the waste. The excavated material will be transported through 10 tonnes trucks capacity. The daily production on average is 26 tonnes and tis needs 2 trucks for hauling. The air pollution will be limited only to this extent. The major sources of sir pollution in underground mining are, drilling, blasting, extraction, loading & unloading.  The proposed operations will cause air pollution on surface due to truck movement. This will be controlled by water sprinkling. The water will be sourced through tankers from nearby villages.  Dust masks will be provided to drilling workers Noise Pollution Control Measures In the quarry, the machinery operations like jackhammer drilling, compressor and excavators will generate noise pollution. The noise pollution will be limited underground atmosphere. He surface noise will be only due to vehicular movement. The noise pollution control measures are given below: . Drilling Workers will be provided with earmuffs, earplugs. . Regular maintenance of vehicles and machinery . Limiting the speed of vehicles entering and leaving the quarry to 25 kmph. Control of ground vibrations Blasting activity in underground mining will produce ground vibrations. As the mine will be operated with less machinery and the blasting is also minimum These vibrations will be transmitted to surface also. The nature of strata is doleritic which will not allow the vibrations more than 10% as the layering of the formation is prominent.

IMPACT DUE TOVEHICULAR TRAFFIC Max. No. of Trucks required to transport the Barytes will be  From proposed Quarry-2 nos.  From adjoining quarry of –1 nos.  The existing road is capable of absorbing this additional traffic.  Dust suppression will be taken up along the haulage roads & approach roads. Hence there will not be much impact on traffic due to this proposed mine activity. 2. Water Environment Impact on surface water bodies : There are no streams and other surface water bodies in and around applied area. The applied area is small hill. Only rain water drains through the slopes during rainy season. There are no activities in the surface except dumping of mining waste over waste dump and manual sorting of Barytes into various grades and sizes. Control Measures : It is gently sloping terrain with maximum relief of 95m. The rain water drains as sheet flow without erosive power. Hence there is no erosion, sedimentation and no changes in physical and chemical quality of surface water. A water garland (1mx1m) shall be formed to see that no rainwater comes to the shafts from higher reaches. The waste dump will be afforested and stabilized. Garland drains with silt traps will be provided all along the waste dump and silt free water will be let into the nearby seasonal stream. Impact on Ground water table : The proposed mining depth will be 100m, and the water table is at 30m below ground level. Ground water has to be pumped during heavy rains for about 15 days in a year. During remaining part of the year, pumping is required to pump minor quantity of water. The pumped water can be used for dust suppression and drinking. The quality of groundwater will not be affected as there is no chemical discharge from the mine. Following measures shall be taken:  It shall be ensured that good quality potable water is provided for drinking purposes. Good sanitation facilities (toilets with septic tank followed by soak pits) shall be provided and maintained for good hygienic conditions.  Garland drains with silt traps will be provided at the foot hill side of dump.  The spillages from fuelling of machinery shall be avoided and in case of any spillage the same shall be handled properly. Likewise the spent lubricating oils etc., shall be safely collected and properly disposed off.

4.LANDENVIRONMENT Areas of Considered The Identified aspects which can cause impact due to mining operations are Listed below  Land Use  Solid waste generation  Transportation  Green belt Land Use: The category of the mining lease area is Govt. Revenue land which is covered with shrubs. Solid Waste generation: Transportation activity within the mining lease area is mainly for transportation of Mineral by tippers from the mine pit to Industry units. I) Land management Measures A) Solid waste management The waste material that will be generated due to mining is doloritic rock. During the five-year plan period about 11502 tonnes of waste material will be generated and a little topsoil about 10 to 20cum quantity will also be generated. This topsoil will be used in plantation of the applied area. A non mineralized area of about 10000 sqm (580m x 17m) located north side will be utilized for stacking of about 11502 tonnes waste material (Please see Plate No. 8 for location of dumping site.) It is proposed to keep the height of the dump upto 15m only. The coarse lumps of dolorite shall be arranged as a pack wall like structure at dumps slopes bottom in order to avoid rolling down of waste material. For stabilization of this dump grass will be grown over the dumps slope periodically.

Local persons will be given preference.

5. OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH MEASURES and BUDGET Fugitive dust, noise and fines may affect the health of workers. Safety of employee during operation will be taken care as per mine regulations act 1961. To avoid any adverse effects on the health of workers due to dust & noise, the following measures will be implemented: Provision of rest shelters for mine workers with amenities like drinking water, fans, toilets etc.  Dust suppression of haul road.  First - Aid facilities within lease area  Height, slope and width of dump development as per the approved Mining plan.  Regular medical examination for the employees.  Dust masks will be provided for control of dust[All Quarries].  Ear plugs will be provided to employees to reduce the Noise impact.  Health check-up will be carried out for all employees in an external hospital yearly once and medical records will be maintained  Rs. 1500/- per person/year will be allocated employee occupation health. Periodicity of health checkups done for yearly for workers working in Quarry. Blood test (once in a year) Urine test (once in a year) Complete Physical examination (once in a year) X-ray of chest (once in a year) Lung/Pulmonary function test (once in a year) Sputum Examination (once in a year)
