The lessee is a mine owner in the business of mining & trading of minerals since last twenty years. The lessee has got another mining lease area in village Kathara Kothar. SHRI RAJENDRA KR. AGARWAL P .O. – Jaitwara, District - Satna (M.P.) Pin Code – 485221 2.2 Brief Information about the Project The existing project is for mining of 40,000 TPA of Bauxite & Laterite by open cast manual method. The lease area is 8.094 ha. The total mineable reserves are 1.25 lac tone Bauxite 3.75 lac tonne Laterite. The expected life of the mine is 13years The un-worked areas will be ecologically restored by plantation while the excavated area will be reclaimed and rehabilitated by afforestation. Green barriers will be created by plantation as per CPCB Guidelines. Water requirement for the proposed project for domestic use, dust suppression and plantation, will be 7 KLD, which will be met from bore well & dug well. 2.3 Need for the Project and Its Importance to the Country or Region The production of mineral will benefit to the State in the form of Royalty. Apart from this, the project will generate direct and indirect employment opportunities to the tune of about 40 3 persons from the nearby villages. Also, the mine management under corporate social responsibility will conduct medical camps at regular interval in the nearby villages and will help the nearby villages in providing infrastructure like school furniture, water tankers, etc. 2.4 Demands-Supply Gap The Bauxite of the lease area is of metal grade as well as chemical grade. The mineral is intended for sale to Aluminium plants like Hindalco and Vedanta and other similar plants in India. Chemical grade will be utilized in Alum plants. The chemical analysis of Bauxite in the ML area is as under – Al2O3 - 38 % to 52 %, SiO2 - 2.0 % to 8.0 % Fe2O3 - 2.5 % to 17 % The laterite of cement grade and is highly demanded in the nearby cement plant with in 50 km radius. 2.5 Imports vs. Indigenous Production The quantity of Bauxite produce will limit the requirement of bauxite to be imported. 2.6 Export Possibility There is no proposal to export the minerals. However, cement produced will fulfill the needs of the region and surplus if any, will be considered for export. 2.7 Domestic/ Export Markets DOMESTIC MARKET The name and address of the some consuming industries are (1) Amar Alum and Allied Chemicals Pvt. Ltd. Bareli (U.P.) – Chemical Grade Bauxite (2) J.P. and Prism Cement - Laterite (3) Hindalco – Metal Grade Bauxite EXPORT MARKET The proposed mining activity is for indigenous consumption only for Industries. 2.8 Employment Generation 4 The detail of proposed employment potential is as follows. Employment potential:- Part time Mining Engineer - 1 Permit Manager - 1 Skilled - 2 Unskilled - 11 Total 15 3. PROJECT DESCRIPTION 3.1 Type of Project Including Interlinked and Interdependent Projects, If Any. The existing project has been proposed 40,000 TPA of Bauxite & Laterite by manual method. The lease area is 8.094 ha. The total mineable reserves are 1.25 lac tone Bauxite 3.75 lac tonne Laterite. The expected life of the mine is 13years This mining project falls under Category “A” Project or activity 1(a) as per EIA Notifications 2006 and 2009. 3.2 Location The mining lease area is located in Villages Karigohi, Taluka Birsinghpur, District Satna, Madhya Pradesh. The mining lease area falls in Survey of India Toposheet No. : 63D/13 & 63H/1 3.3 Details of Alternate Sites Not Applicable 3.4 Size or magnitude of operation 3.4.1 General Geology: The lease area is situated in Satna-Rewa plateau. The plateau slopes down gently towards south and merges with the plains of Ganurgarh shale. A series of topographic highs in the form of detached mounds and ridges dot the plateau of Rewa quartzite, as also the plains of Ganurgarh shales. Bauxite/Laterite deposit of the lease area belong to Upper Rewa Sandstone in Rewa group of Vindhyan super group. Sandstone, clay & ochre beds overlying both the Rewa quartzite and Ganurgarh shale are capped at several places with 1 m to 10 m thick lateritic duricrusts. Bauxite deposit occurs in this 5 lateritic duricrusts. The Jhiri shale is brown, green and laminated with thin inter beds of fine grained sandstone. 3.4.2. Local Geology The local geology of the area is in confirmation to the regional geology and the nature and extent of mineralisation is completely exposed in the mound. Bauxite occurs as pebble, boulders and granules within the lateritic matrix up to maximum thickness of about 4 m. This is underlained by lateritic soil of thickness varying between 0.10m to 0.25 m. The summarised account of succession of rocks is furnished below:- Recent Lateritic soil up to 0.25 m Vindhyan Super Bauxite/Laterite 4m Average Group Lithomargic Clay 0.5 to 1m Weathered sandstone Continued. 3.4.3. PRODUCTION PARAMETERS The proposed production of Bauxite & Laterite is 40,000 TPA. OB waste generation is 1000MT/month. Life of mine is 13 year on the basis of present exploration. The mine will be worked on the day shift only. The average number of working days in the year would be 200. 3.5 PROJECT DESCRIPTION WITH PROCESS DETAILS 3.5.1 Method of Mining Opencast manual method of mining will be done. Development in OB and Ore will carried out by manual means using hand tools. No drilling and blasting has been proposed to be carried out. Loading of OB/waste and of ore will be done by manual means. Various mining activities such as development, loading and transportation will be so conducted as to ensure maximum mineral conservation and minimum environmental degradation. While planning, quality parameter of the deposit has been taken care of so as to have maximum blending ratio. The main activities involved will be:- (i) Development by removal of overburden by loader cum excavator. (ii) Production (iii) Loading (iv) Transportation 6 Systematic working will be done by formation of benches as per M.M.R. 1961.All applicable rules of MMR 1961, Mines Act-1952, MCR-1960, MCDR-1988 will be followed for safe, scientific & systematic working to follow the principles of safety & conservation of human health & mineral. 3.5.2 Typical Drilling & Blasting Pattern: Not Applicable. 3.5.3 Storage of Explosive Not Applicable. 3.5.4 Transport of Explosives Not Applicable. 3.6 Raw Material Required Along With Estimated Quantity, Likely Source, Marketing Area of Final Product/S, Mode of Transport of Raw Material and Finished Product No raw material will be required for production of Bauxite.
