GSI Coal Singrauli Sarai (west) 1:10000 5 6 2539.65 - Regional exploration under G-3 stage (Son Valley Sector, Singrauli continued with the objectives to Coalfield) Coalfield establish the development pattern and resource potentiality of coal, horizons in Raniganj and Barakar formations as intersected in adjacent Hatta-Dudhmaniya and Sarai (east) area, stratigraphy and structural framework of the area and to generate baseline data for CBM exploration. Total drilling in the area is 2539.65 m in six boreholes, SSW- 4 to 9. Three regional Raniganj coal seams / zones R-I to R-III (in ascending order) have been intersected in the depth range from 33.85 m to 229.80 m. The individual thickness of Raniganj coal seam varies from 0.5 m to 1.96 m. Seven regional Barakar coal seams / zones I to VII (in ascending order) have been intersected in the depth range from 263 to 585.81 m. The thickness of individual coal seams vary from 0.5 m to 3.5 m. Seam No. IV (cumulative thickness 3.41 m) and III (3.5 m) are important for their thickness and regional persistency. Investigation is under progress.

Shahdol Malka block, 1:10000 5 4 1800.5 - Promotional exploration under G-2 (Son Valley Sector, Sohagpur stage continued with the objectives Coalfield) Coalfield to establish the development pattern and resource potentiality of coal horizons in Raniganj and Barakar formations as intersected in adjacent Chainpa, Maiki and Maiki (North) blocks and structural set up of the area. A total of 1800.5 m has been drilled in four boreholes namely, SMLK-1 to 4 and 630 m was geophysical logged. Coal seams of both Raniganj and Barakar formations were intersected at Malka block. Five regional Barakar coal seams namely, I, II, III, IV and V (in ascending order), have been intersected within a depth range from 380.95 m to 558.50 m with cumulative coal thickness of individual seam ranging from 0.60 m to 5.67 m. Seam III is the thickest seam. Raniganj coal seams, ranging in thickness from 0.55 m to 4.70 m, are interbanded in nature and were intersected between the depth range of 12.95 m and 223.05 m. Continuity of the coal seam has been established along dip and strike directions for about 3 km and 7.5 km, respectively. Investigation is under progress.

Coal Shahdol Bihar block, 1:10000 6 10 3042.25 - Promotional exploration under G-2 (Son Valley Sector, Sohagpur stage continued with the objectives Coalfield) Coalfield to establish the development pattern of superior grade Barakar coal seams at shallow depth, as intersected in adjacent Devanitola and Pachri blocks, structural set up of the area and evaluate the coal resources. A total of 3042.25 m has been drilled in ten boreholes SBR- 1 to 10 and 2169.65 m was geophysically logged during field season. Four regional Barakar coal seams (Seam No. I to IV in ascending order) varying in cumulative thickness from 0.5 m to 9.2 m and few local coal seams were intersected between 109.4 m and 338.65 m depths. Seam No III with cumulative thickness from 8.06 m to 9.20 m, is important for thickness and regional persistency. Continuity of the coal seam has been established for over 6 km in strike and over 2 km in dip direction within the block. Investigation is under progress. (Contd.)

A total of 1315.30 m drilling in four boreholes PBK- 1 and 3 to 5 was achieved during the FS 2013-14, excluding the redrilling in one borehole. Four regional Barakar coal seams (I to IV in ascending order) have been intersected in PBK-3 within the depth range from 379.85 m to 418.70 m. The cumulative thickness of coal is 13.50 m. Investigation is under progress. Coal Chhindwara Dhorakuhi 1:12500 6 --- Regional exploration under G-3 (Pench- Sector, Pench stage was proposed at trap-covered Kanhan-Tawa Valley Coalfield area as a successor item of valley Bhurkumdhana sector. The Coalfield) objectives were to establish the dip continuity of Barakar coal seams, already recorded in the Payalidhana sector to the southwest, under favourable structural set up and to assess the coal resource potentiality of the area. However, due to slow drilling progress in Bhurkumdhana sector, drilling could not be initiated during the field season. Gold Betul Amla, along Bel 1: 12500 100 -- 575 Reconnaissance stage investigation Nadi, Jambara, (G-4) was carried out for delineation Sonatalai and of auriferous zones for follow up surrounding areas probing. The area exposes rocks belonging to Proterozoic Betul belt with outliers of Deccan basalt. Large-scale mapping has established incidence of disseminated sulphide mineralisation in foliated rhyolite, metabasics (amphibolites) and quartz veins. The sulphides include specks of sphalerite, chalcopyrite, pyrite, bornite, covellite and malachite. The part analysis of 97 BRS and 44 stream sediment samples received so far doesn’t show significant Au mineralisation. The gold values of two BRS from Parsori- Toranwara quartz vein and Ratera Kalan pyroxenite have indicated 70 ppb and 60 ppb Au, respectively.

Katni Nanhwara-Vilayat 1: 12500 100 -- 215 Reconnaissance stage investigation Kalan area (G-4) was carried out for delineation of auriferous zones for follow up probing. Pitting & trenching of 100 cubic metre along with collection of 100 bedrock samples, 15 stream sediments samples and 100 pitting and trenching samples were carried out in Nanhwara-Vilayat Kalan area. The area exposes rocks belonging to Mahakoshal Group comprises of phyllite, quartzite, dolomite, banded/brecciated quartzite, metavolcanics (Agori Formation) and sheared polymictic conglomerate (Parsoi Formation) which are at places intruded by younger quartz veins. Analytical results of the 43 samples (including 34 BRS, 2 SSS and 7 PTS) collected during 2013-14 have shown Au values below 50 ppb. Graphite Betul Tikri, Gauthana 1:2000 - 4 464.4 - Prospecting stage investigation and Chiklar areas (G-3) was carried out to evaluate the extent and potential of graphite mineralisation. The investigation was carried out involving DM on 1:2000 scale coupled with drilling. The various litho associations of the area include Archean-Proterozoic gneisses, poly-deformed supracru- stals and a variety of minor intrusives. The graphite bearing zones were hosted in quartz mica schist, which forms a part of the supracrustals and occurs as enclaves within the Betul gneisses. A total of 464.40 m of drilling has been carried out in 04 boreholes (BBT- 1 to BBT-4) on the southern band which has proved graphite mineralisation for a strike length of 700 m. Thickness of the mineralised zones varies from 6.85 m to 29.69 m, continuing up to 45 m vertical depth and fixed carbon content varies from 3.30% to 15.71%.

RM/REE Chhatarpur Sarkana-Malguwan-1:12500 141 -- 305 Reconnaissance stage investigation Gairwar areas (G-4) was carried out to evaluate the potentiality of REE mineral- isation of the carbonatite-syenite- lamprophyre and felsic intrusives within Banded Gneissic Complex. A total of 70 stream sediment samples, 200 bedrock samples and 35 nos. of petrochemical samples have been collected for assessment of REE potentiality. Besides, 50 rock chips for petrographic studies, 20 samples each for ore microscopic studies, SEM-EDX studies, EPMA studies, and XRD studies were also collected. Satellite imageries study covering an area of 800 km2 was carried out. The mapped area exposes rocks of Bundelkhand Granitoid Complex with supracrustal enclaves. Numerous prominent pegmatites, quartz veins and quartz reefs intruded into the Bundelkhand Granitoid Complex. The stream sediment and bedrock samples collected from the pegmatite, syenite, carbonatite and basic rocks do not give encouraging values of REE minerals.
