(v) PROJECT DESCRIPTION WITH PROCESS DETAILS ( A SCHEMATIC DIAGRAM/ FLOW CHART SHOWING THE PROJECT LAYOUT, PROJECT COMPONENTS SHOULD BE GIVEN) A. Local Geology: The rock formations of Bagh Beds and Decan Trap of Cretaceous to Paleocene age are present in Deora-Sitapuri-Udiyapura limestone block area and indicate different facies of deposition. The local stratigraphic sequence encountered in the area, based on the boreholes drilled is given in below table: Thickness(m) Stratigraphic Sequence Mini mum Max imum Av era ge Black cotton soil 0.20 10.5 0 2.7 Basal t 0.5 0 11.00 4.0 Coralline Lime stone 0.5 0 9.26 3.4 Ma rl 0.90 6.00 2.6 Nodula r Limestone 0.5 0 12.3 0 4.5 Shale 0.5 0 7.00 3.1 Nimar Sandstone 3.5 0 12.00 6.9 Source: Approved Mining Plan & progressive mine closure plan The description of various rock types encountered in the area based on geological mapping and subsequent subsurface drilling is described below: BLACK COTTON SOIL Major part of the limestone block area is covered by recent formation consisting of alluvium and black cotton soil whereas in some areas, red soil and yellowish sandy soil is also present. The thickness of this formation varies from 0.20 m to 10.50 m with average thickness of 2.7 m. BASALT In the limestone block area, several isolated patches of basaltic lava flows have been recorded. The basalt uncomfortably overlies the limestone of Bagh beds. These flows are different in petrology, grain-size and other characters and show well marked spheroidal weathering. Conical shape is a typical geomorphic feature of the lava covered hillocks. The thickness of this formation varies from 0.50 m to11.00 m with average thickness of 4.0 m.

CORALLINE LIMESTONE Coralline limestone of Bagh Bed Formation directly underlies the trap rock and /or topsoil or upper clay. It is exposed widely in the limestone block area. It is hard and compact, fine grained, well bedded and pale yellow to reddish brown in color. At many places the beds are laminated and well jointed. The thickness of this formation varies from 0.50 m to9.26 m with average thickness of 3.4 m. MARL A thin layer of marl/calcareous clay, which is fine grained, brownish color and silty in nature has been recorded between the nodular and coralline limestone units. The thickness of this formation varies from 0.90 m to 6.00 m with average thickness of 2.6 m. NODULAR LIMESTONE This formation is characterized by the presence of limestone nodules, which are soft, fine grained thinly bedded in nature. It is frequently intercalated with clay layers and occurs in different shades varying from pinkish brown to pale yellow to blackish grey to greenish white color. Stratigraphically it underlies Coralline limestone but in few boreholes rhythmic alternation of coralline limestone (1 m to 3 m) and nodular limestone is observed. The thickness of this formation varies from0.50 m to 12.30 m with average thickness of 4.5 m. SHALE In general, this formation overlies the Nimar sandstone and underlies nodular limestone. It is red in colour, fine grained and medium hard in nature. The thickness of this formation varies from 0.5 m to 7.0 m with average thickness of 3.1 m. NIMAR SANDSTONE Nimars and stone is the oldest member of the Bagh Group. The sandstone rests unconformable over the Archaean metamorphics and is overlain by calcareous rocks. The thickness of this formation varies from 3.5 m to 12.00 m with average thickness of 6.9 m. GRANITE Archaeans rocks form the basement and oldest rocks in the area, which are overlain by Bagh and Lameta sediments. However, The granite is not seen exposed in the limestone block area and also not encountered in boreholes drilled in the area as they have been terminated in sha le or Nimar sandstone. B. Method of Mining Mining will be done by fully opencast mechanized method with drilling and blasting. Major activities involved in the mining process will be Top soil and OB removal, deep whole drilling, controlled blasting, excavation, loading/unloading, crushing(crusher located in adjacent mine) & transportation to the cement plant via covered conveyor belt.
