CHAPTER – 1 OVERVIEW OF KOLAR DISTRICT

1.1 Preamble: On 10th September 2007, the present Kolar district was formed by dividing the erstwhile Kolar district into Kolar and Chikkaballapur districts. The present Kolar district is the eastern gateway to Karnataka. It is famous for previous Kolar Goldmines. It is land locked district and hard rock terrain of Karnataka in the Kolar District maiden (plain) region and covers an area of 3969 sq.km. The district lies almost in the central part of peninsular India, which has immense bearing on its geoclimatic conditions. This district experiences tropical climate throughout the year, Kolar district owes its prosperity and development to the existence of ancient tanks. There are 2980 tanks which are highest number in the state. The main occupation of people of the Kolar district is agriculture. In the absence of surface water irrigation system, groundwater is the main source of irrigation. The district has more than 29936 bore wells, which is also highest in the state.

1.2 Location and Demographic features: Kolar district lies between North latitude 12° 45’ 54” to 13° 35’ 47” and East Longitude 77° 50’ 29” to 78° 35’ 18”. The district is bounded by Bengaluru and Tumakuru districts on the west, Chikkaballapur district on north-west, Ananthapur district of Andhra Pradesh on the north, Chittoor district on the east and on the south by North Arcot and Dharmapuri districts of Tamil Nadu. The district is popularly known as the “Golden Land” of India, because of the presence of the Kolar Gold fields and also famous as the

1 land is rich in Silk and Milk. The district is ranked no.1 in productivity and yield of horticultural crops. Administratively the district is divided into 5 Taluks, 27 Hoblies, 156 Gram panchayats and 1797 Villages.

As per the 2011 census the total population in the district is around 15.40 lakhs, with population density of 384 persons/sq. km. The rural population constitutes 10.57 lakhs and urban population constitutes 4.83 lakhs. The schedule cast population constitutes 3.96 lakhs and the scheduled tribe population constitutes 68133. The sex ratio in the district is 976 females for every 1000 males and the literacy rate is 74.33%.

1.3 Topography: The district, at its greatest length, reaches about 135 km from north to south with almost the same distance from east to west. It occupies the table land of Mysore, bordering the Eastern Ghats. The general plateau surface is interrupted by a number of hills and peaks of varying heights, particularly in the north. The terrain is completely undulating towards east and south east and covered by series of hillocks and mounds and then forms runoff zone (surface water divider). Series of parallel hills of granitic gneiss and granitic origin are seen all along the district and are trending northeast to southwest and also north northeast to south southwest with a dip of 65 to 70 degrees at places. Several mounds which are moderately weathered are seen through out the district and acts as local water dividers and runoff zones. Kolar Gold Fields (KGF) is a town in Kolar district which was once the primary gold mines in the country. Set up by the British, this town is close to the border of Andhra Pradesh and topographically has undulations at various places with low grade of weathering. Because of differential weathering in local domine, the area looks like surface water divider and forms differential as well as local catchments.

1.4 Administrative setup & Approachability: Total geographical area of the district is 3969 sq.km. The district is divided into 5 taluks viz, Bangarpet , Kolar, Malur, Mulbagal and Srinivaspura. The district is well connected by highways and rail. The NH-4 from Chennai to Mumbai passes through this district via

Mulbagal and Kolar towns. The district head quarter is situated about 68km east of Bengaluru, the state capital. 3 State Highways with combined length of 308 Km - SH 5 (Connecting Bangarapet to Bagepalli) SH 96 (Connecting Devanahall to Kempapura) SH 99 (Connecting Kothapalli to Kolar) passes through the district.

Map-1: Administrative Map of Kolar District

The south central railway connecting Bengaluru to Chennai passes through the southern part of the district via Bangarpet and Malur towns. Altogether, 14 railways

3 stations and rail route length of 122.44 kms passes through the district. Entire 122.44 Km is Broad Gauge. Map-1 shows the administrative setup of the district.

1.5 Basin and Drainage: As district falls under partially rain shadow zone, there are no perennial rivers seen in Kolar district. Due to the topography and physiography, the district is drained by three river basins (identified catchments) namely Palar, North Pennar (North pinakani) and South Pennar (South Pinakani).

Map-2: Drainage Map of Kolar District

4 All these rivulets and their tributaries are not significant and their carriage capacity is very small and carries water only during rainy season and hence become non perennial (seasonal). The drainage map of the district is given in Map-2

Palar is a river of southern India. It rises in Nandi Hills, India in Kolar district of Karnataka state, and flows 93 kilometres (58 mi) in Karnataka, 33 kilometres (21 mi) in Andhra Pradesh and 222 kilometres (138 mi) in Tamil Nadu before its confluence into the Bay of Bengal at Vayalur about 100 kilometres (62 mi) south of Chennai. It flows as a Guptagamini (underground course) for a long distance only to emerge near Bethamangala town of Kolar district, from where, gathering water and speed, it flows eastward down the Deccan Plateau.

The Pennar (also Penna, Penner or Penneru and Pinākinī in Sanskrit) is a river of southern India. The Pennar rises on the hill of Nandi Hills in Chikkaballapur District of Karnataka state, and runs north and east through the state of Andhra Pradesh to empty into the Bay of Bengal. It is 597 kilometres (371 mi) long, with a drainage basin 55,213 square kilometres (21,318 sq mi) large. This river basin occupies nearly 55,213 km2 area. Penna is an interstate river with 6,937 km2 and 48,276 km2 river basin area located in Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh respectively. The river basin receives 500 mm average rainfall annually. The river basin lies in the rain shadow region of Eastern Ghats.

The watershed of the Penna and its tributaries covers part of the southern Deccan plateau, including most of the Rayalaseema region of Andhra Pradesh and part of Karnataka. The Kolar Plateau forms the divide between the Penna watershed and those of the Kaveri, Ponnaiyar, and Palar rivers to the south. The Penna drains the northern portion of the plateau, which includes parts of Kolar and Tumkur districts in Karnataka.

The sedimentation studies have not been taken up in the district by Mines & Geology Department and hence such data is not readily available to highlight in the report.

1.6 Land use pattern: 5% of the total area of the district is covered by forest, 11% of the land is for non agricultural use. 10% of the land is permanent pasture. 46% of the area is under cultivation. About 28% of the area is uncultivated (2010-11). 2% of the total area of the district forms the area sown more than once in the district.

1.7 Agriculture and Irrigation practices: The predominant crops grown in the district are ragi, paddy, maize, fruits, vegetables, finger millet, groundnut and pulses. Finger millet occupies about 45% of the total cultivated area. The important irrigated crops are paddy, mulberry, sugarcane, potato and other vegetables. The important commercial fruit crops grown are mango and grapes. The area irrigated by wells (groundwater) constitutes 99% of the total irrigated area. Dug well irrigation practice is largely replaced by bore well irrigation. Irrigation is being practiced both in the valley as well as in upland areas (pediplain portion) as the thickness of soil cover is comparatively more.

CHAPTER – 2 CLIMATE AND RAINFALL 2.1 Climate: The Kolar district enjoys an agreeable climate. The year may be divided into four seasons. The dry season with clear bright weather is from December to February. The period from March to May constitutes the hot season and the southwest monsoon season is from June to about the end of October. November is the retreating monsoon season.

There is one meteorological observatory at KGF, which has long term records. The one at Kolar is of recent origin. Normally April and May are hottest months with temperatures as high as 35°C (Fig-1). They are generally lowest during December being as low as 14°C. Potential evapotranspiration is around 1550mm annually ranging from 170mm in Apr-May period to less than 100mm during Nov–Dec period.

Table - 1: Average Temperature Data of Kolar

The climate here is tropical. When compared with winter, the summers have much more rainfall. The average annual temperature is 24.2 °C in Kolar. The average annual rainfall is 650 mm. Fig - 1: Temperature v/s Rainfall of Kolar

The driest month is January, with 1 mm of rain. In October, the precipitation reaches its peak, with an average of 141 mm. Fig - 2: Average Temperature profile of Kolar

May is the warmest month of the year. The temperature in May averages 27.9 °C. At 20.5 °C on average, December is the coldest month of the year.

There is a difference of 140 mm of precipitation between the driest and wettest months. The variation in annual temperature is around 7.4 °C. Useful hints about reading the climate table: For every month, you will find data about precipitation (mm), average, maximum and minimum temperature (degrees Celsius and Fahrenheit). Meaning of the first line: (1) January, (2) February, (3) March, (4) April, (5) May, (6) June, (7) July, (8) August, (9) September, (10) October, (11) November, (12) December

2.2 Rainfall: Kolar district falls in the Eastern dry agro climatic Zone. It experiences a semi-arid climate, characterized by the typical monsoon tropical weather with hot summers and mild winters. The rainfall in the district is very erratic and maximum fluctuation is recorded in recent years. Based on the rainfall pattern and wet spells in the district, the year in Kolar is normally divided into four seasons. They are;

a) Dry season during Jan-Feb, b) Pre monsoon season during Mar-May, c) Southwest monsoon season during Jun-Sep and d) Post or Northeast monsoon season during Oct-Dec. Fig - 3: Average Rainfall profile of Kolar

Based on rainfall data pertaining to the district, there are 5 rain gauge stations recorded in each of the 5 taluks. Normal annual rainfall ranges from around 799 mm at Bangarpet to around 857 mm at Kolar averaging 748 mm for the district.

Fig - 4: Taluk wise Rainfall & Rainy days

The rain fall recorded for 2014 is 684 mm. The southwest monsoon contributes around 55 percent of the annual rainfall. The other monsoon (NE) yields around 30 percent. The balance of around 15 percent results from the pre monsoon. September and October are the wettest months with over 100mm monthly rainfall. Thunderstorms are common during the month of May. The post monsoon season often gets copious rains due to passing depressions.

On annual basis the variability coefficient are less than 30 percent indicating consistent rainfall. On seasonal basis dry season rainfall is most inconsistent where as the monsoon rainfall is least inconsistent. On a monthly basis the inconsistencies are more pronounced indicated by high coefficients of variability. The lowest annual rainfall recorded in the district is around 412 mm during 2006 at Malur station while the highest is over 1565 mm during 2005 at Bangarpet station as per the rainfall record of last 10 years. 9

CHAPTER – 3 GEOLOGY AND GEOMORPHOLOGY

3.1 Geology of the district: Kolar district has geologically been surveyed by the department of Mines & Geology from time to time since 1899 and the information furnished here is mostly based on the reports published in the records and bulletins of the department. The main rock types occurring in Kolar district are arranged in the following sequence; a. Dharwar schists b. Peninsular Gneissic Complex – Granites & Gneisses. c. Dolerite – Dykes d. Laterite – Capping e. Limestone – Lime kankars

The granite-greenstone terrain in the South Indian craton covers most of Karnataka State, and hence could be referred to as Karnataka block. The geology and the regional tectonics of the South Indian craton and the Karnataka block are summarised by Drury et al. (1984) and Swaminath and Ramakrishnan (1981). The schist belts in the Karnataka block are surrounded by voluminous felsic rocks covering over 75% of the area (Radhakrishna, 1983). They are made up of mafic to acid volcanic rocks and of chemical sediments predominantly. In this regard they resemble many Archean greenstone belts found in Canada, South Africa and Western Australia. However, the ultra-mafic volcanism in the Karnataka block is relatively minor in scale and mostly restricted to small and narrow belt. Also the absence of nickel sulphide deposits; even in the mafic volcanic dominated greenstone belts, such as Kolar, is surprising (Rajamani, 1982, Rajamani et al. 1985). Thus, schist belts of Karnataka block seem to be different in terms of their volcanic lithology and mineralization, from that of greenstone belts found elsewhere. This suggests that the formation and evolution of the greenstone-granite terrains need not be uniform.

Map-3: Geological Map of Karnataka

Even within the Karnataka greenstone-granite terrain, the greenstone belts differ from each other in terms of size, shape, lithological association, mineralization and time of evolution. Just as the granitic gneisses, the greenstone belts of Karnataka block also seem to have evolved episodically (Balakrishnan and Rajamani 1986). Small bands or enclaves of supracrustals, migmatized at the margins, occur mostly in the southern part of the block and are known as Sargurs or Sargur Group. These are thought to have been intruded by all known phases of granitic gneisses called as the Peninsular Gneiss (Chadwick et al. 1981, Swaminath and Ramakri shnan 1981).

A group of large schist belts, dominated by sedimentary rocks deposited in shallow environment was laid over ensialic basement of Peninsular Gneisses older than 3.1 b.y. (Drury 1983, Drury et al. 1981, Ramakrishnan et al. 1984, Taylor et al. 1984, Chadwick et al. 1985a, b). Although the small, curvilinear, volcanic-dominated schist belts like Kolar are well known for economic mineralization of 20 minerals, the cover-basement relationship between them and the surrounding Peninsular Gneiss is least understood (Ramakrishnan and Visvanatha 1981, Granath and Rajamani 1982, Radhakrishna /1983, Drury et al. 1984, Balakrishnan and Rajarnani 1985). Such an understanding is important to construct the crustal evolution in the Karnataka block. To this end, each belt should be thoroughly investigated to evaluate the petrogenesis of various rock types and their relation to the surrounding gneisses.

3.2 General Geology of the Kolar Schist Belt: The Kolar Schist Belt is located 90 km east of Bangalore. The belt is linear, N-S striking, 80 km long and attains a maximum width of 5 km in the central part. Systematic geological investigation of the belt was initiated only a few decades ago, although the belt was the chief producer of gold for the last several centuries in India. The belt is surrounded by polyphase Peninsular Gneiss and is thought to be intruded by diapiric granites at Patna and Bisanattam (Viswanatha and Ramakrishnan 1981). The contact relation between these gneisses and the schist belt is however not clear to indicate any such relationship (Balakrishnan and -Rajamani 1986.). Geology of the Kolar Schist Belt is summarised recently by Viswanatha and Ramakrishnan (1981) and Shivkumar (1982). The belt is essentially composed of mafic volcanic rocks, a felsic unit known as the Champion Gneiss consisting of felsic volcanic rocks, pyroclastics, arenaceous metasedimentary rocks and polymict conglomerates, and ferrugenou quartzites. A minor discontinuous horizon of graphitic schist occur alongith ferrugenous quartzites. The Champion Gneiss and ferrugenous quartzite ridge occur on the eastern and western, margins of the belt, respectively. A band of massive tholeiitic amphibolite occurs at the middle of the belt with a prominent topographic expression and with respect to this, the belt can be divided into eastern and western part. Ferrugenous

12 quartzite also occurs at the south eastern part of the belt known as the Yerrakonda hill. The belt and the surrounding rocks are metamorphosed to middle to upper amphibolites facies of metamorphism (Rajamani et al. 1981). The belt is intersected by two sets of dikes striking N-S and E-W.

The Kolar Gold Field lies within a schist belt of the Archaean Dharwar Craton in Karnataka State, southern India. The Kolar Schist Belt occupies a north-south elongated area some 80 km long and 2 to 4 km in width in the eastern bloc of the Dharwar Craton. It encloses an Archaean succession of volcanic dominated rocks composed mainly of mafic (komatiitic and lesser tholeiitic) meta volcanics, now represented by amphibolites. A well foliated felsic unit is found along the eastern part of the belt with local xenoliths of granitoids, amphibolites and banded iron formation. Banded iron formations are the only recognizable sedimentary components of the belt, and form prominent ridges within the schist belt, inter banded with amphibolites, and graphitic and sulphidic schists.

The belt is enclosed on both sides by foliated and sheared granitoids with tectonic contacts. On the western side monzodioritic to granitic intrusive is 2630 to 2550 million years in age, although some 3100 million years granitic crusts are also indicated. The eastern granitoids are 2530 million years old granodioritic gneisses. There are two types of gold deposit are recognized in the Kolar gold field, 1) Gold-quartz-sulphide lodes and 2) Gold quartz-calcite vein systems. These deposit types are associated with all of the rock types in the schist belt. The latter accounted for 90% of the gold production of the field. Lodes are generally disposed parallel to the north-south trending foliation of the amphibolites and are localised within the fine grained schistose varieties of the amphibolites.

The quartz lodes (the best example of which is the 10 km long Champion reef) consist of parallel and en echelon veins of quartz within sheared, schistose amphibolites. The lode zones and individual veins pinch and swell both along strike and down dip and have gradational margins with the enclosing country rocks. These reefs are typically around 2m thick except where thickened by folding and argillaceous sulphidic rocks. 13

The sulphide lodes (the best example of which is the 2 km long and 1.6 m wide Oriental lode) consist of alternating bands and layers of quartz, sulphides and silicates which have sharp contacts with the enclosing amphibolites and are associated with magnetite bearing ironstone and argillaceous sulphidic rocks. The Kolar gold field has been systematically worked for over 200 years and has produced around 815 tons of gold.

3.3 Geomorphology: The topography of the district is undulating to plain. The northern and eastern parts of the district forming the valley of Palar basin are well cultivated. The general elevation varies from 849 to 1130 m above mean sea level. The soils of Kolar district occur on different landforms such as hills, ridges, pediments, plains and valleys. The types of soils distributed range from red loamy soil to red sandy soil and lateritic soil. Of the total area, about 73% is suitable for agriculture and horticulture; about 3% for forestry, pasture and the remaining area is suitable for quarrying, mining and as habitat for wildlife.

The landscape occurs in the southeastern and western parts of the district in the taluk of Bangarpet, is characterized by ridges, mounds, pediments and valleys. Ridges are elongated with steep slopes and are rocky. They are mostly under forest and pasture. The soils mapped are Krishnarajapuram in association with rock outcrops. Krishnarajapuram soils are deep, well drained, dusky red, clayey-skeletal with slopes of 3% to 15% and are moderately eroded.

Mounds are characterized by quartzite capping and are mostly under scrub forest. The soils are Unnala, Honnavalli and Kundihalli series. Unnala soils are moderately deep and excessively drained, whereas Honnavalli and Kundihalli soils are deep and successively drained. Pediments have rolling, undulating, and gently sloping topography with slopes of 3% to 10%. Soils of the rolling pediments are Yellodu, Unnala and Benneparti series. Yellodu and Benneparti soils are very deep and deep, well drained, loamy-skeletal and clayey-skeletal with slopes of 3% to 5%, and are moderately to severely eroded. Soils of the undulating pediments are Chandanduru, Haleupparahalli and Kundihalli series.

Chandanduru and Haleupparahalli soils are deep, well drained, yellowish red, clayey skeletal and clayey, with slopes of 2% to 5%, and are moderately eroded.

3.4 Soils: The soils of Kolar district occur on different land forms such as hills, ridges, mounds, rolling lands, pediments, colluvial plains and valleys. The geographic distribution of soils, with Alfisols and Inceptisols on the uplands and Entisols and Inceptisols on mounds, ridges and lowlands, clearly indicate a close relationship between physiography and soils which is also supported by the morphological and physical and chemical properties of the soils.

The soils are moderately deep on hill ranges, ridges and mounds because of the steep slopes and moderate to severe erosion. Deep soils occur on rolling lands and pediments, where the slopes are gentle and erosion is less. The soils are very deep in colluvial plains and valleys because of colluvio-alluvial deposits by the rivers and streams. The upland soils have colours in hues 7.5 YR, 5 YR and 2.5 YR whereas the valley soils have 10 YR colours indicating a moist soil climate, in the valleys. Soil structure is well developed in all soils except in these of Gudibanda, Malmachanahalli, Ramasagara, Sidlaghatta and Srinivaspur series which are massive in the subsoil.

The gravel (>2 mm) content in the upland soils of granite-gneiss and schist landscapes increases with depth. The, distribution of clay in the upland soils show its migration and subsequent deposition in the B2 horizon. Soils of the uplands are neutral to medium acid whereas valley soils are mildly alkaline to strongly alkaline. In general, organic matter content is higher in valley soils than in upland soils. The laterite soils are dominated by low activity minerals in the clay.

About 82 per cent of the area of the district is occupied by soils developed on granite and granite-gneiss, 9 per cent by those on laterite and 6 per cent by those on schists. The soils occurring in the three landscapes identified in the district are briefly described below.

Soils of the gently sloping pediments are known as Aisandra and Krishnarajapuram series. Aisandra soils are moderately deep, well drained, yellowish red, loamy-skeletal, with slopes of 1 % to 5%, and are moderately eroded. Valleys are generally broad with slopes of about 1% and are intensively cultivated to irrigate crops. Soils of the valleys are Kotaldinne, Gudibanda and Addagallu series. Kotaldinne soils are very deep, well drained, dark brown, clayey, with slopes of 1 to 8%.

CHAPTER – 4 GROUNDWATER SCENARIO

4.1 Hydrogeology: Granites, gneisses, schists, laterites and alluvium underline the district. Basic dykes intrude the above formations at places. Granites and gneisses occupy major portion of the district. Schists are mostly confined to two places - around Kolar Gold Fields and in the northwestern part of Gauribidanur taluk. Laterites occupy small portions in Kolar, and Srinivaspura taluks. Alluvium is confined to river courses. Fractures or lineaments occupy well-defined structural valleys and majority of them trend NE-SW.

The occurrence and movement of ground water is controlled by weathered zone and fractures and fissures that exist in hard rocks. In the district, ground water occurs in phreatic and semi-confined to confined conditions. It also occurs in alluvium under water table conditions. The weathered thickness varies from 6 to 18m in the majority of the area. The depth of water level in piezometer generally ranges from 12 to 49 mbgl. The ground water levels are essentially controlled by physiographic features and rainfall distribution. The appreciable change in ground water levels was noticed close to over exploitation areas, where local troughs are observed. The hydrogeology map of the district is given in Map - 4.

Map-5: Groundwater Level Fluctuation (Pre Monsoon) of Kolar District

Mode of ground water extraction is through bore wells. Among the abstraction structures, bore wells are predominant. The yield of bore wells in hard rock varies generally from 15 to 200 m3/day. The depth of irrigation bore wells range in depth from 100to 300 mbgl and the yield of bore wells ranges from 0.5 to 20 m3/hour. Semi- confined to confined aquifer is formed due to fractures in hard rock formations. This aquifer system is developed by bore wells ranging in depth up to 300m. Its yield ranges up to 1200m3/day, and specific yield ranges from 2 to 173 litres per minute/m.

4.2 Groundwater Resources: The ground water resources in Kolar district is not uniformly distributed as the aquifers are in variably situated at the underneath and fracture, weaker plains are unevenly oriented. The groundwater resources in the district are abundant where the natural recharge structures are noticed and are good to moderate in nature all along the valleys and low lying areas. Availability of groundwater varies seasonally depending on the natural and induced recharge. Taluk-wise groundwater resources, drafts, balance resources available and the category as on March 2011 is given in Table - 3.

Table - 3: Stages of Groundwater development in Kolar District Sl.

The net annual ground water availability of the district is 29144 Ham, draft for all uses is 52635 Ham and there are no water resources available for future irrigation development. All the 5 taluks are over exploited. Average stage of development is 180%. There is over draft of 23491 Ham annually in the district. Taluk wise resources and categorization are given in table-3.

4.3 Ground Water Quality: In general, the groundwater is of acceptable quality for irrigation and domestic use. The pH value of ground water ranges from 7 to 8.67 indicating that the water is alkaline in nature. Fluoride concentration of more than 1.5 mg/l. is reported in pockets from most of the taluks. Nitrate concentration of more than 45 ppm is reported from parts of Mulbagal, Bangarpet and Malur taluks.

4.4 Status of groundwater development: Ground water is developed both for the domestic and irrigation purposes. Almost the entire domestic water requirement for 15 lakh population and the live stock is met by ground water. As per MI census 2001, they are accounting for about 86% of the total wells in Karnataka. Well irrigation constitutes about 94% of total irrigation. As per 2010- 11 data, there are altogether 711 piped water supply and 3454 domestic bore wells in Kolar district which are wholly dependent on groundwater. Even though Kolar district stands first in having the maximum number of irrigation tanks (2980 tanks) in

Karnataka, their dependability for irrigation again depends upon rainfall conditions. Hence, ground water has a special significance for the all-round development of this water-starved district and plays a vital role in the development of this drought-prone area. Table - 4: Percentage of Groundwater development in Kolar District Sl. Name of % of Ground % of Ground Category No. the Taluk water water Development Development (in 2009) (in 2011) 1 Bangarpet 211 199 Over Exploited 2 Kolar 165 180 Over Exploited 3 Malur 184 179 Over Exploited 4 Mulbagal 201 213 Over Exploited 5 Srinivaspura 166 176 Over Exploited

As per the groundwater resource estimation, all taluks come under the over-exploited category as shown in Table-4. There is no resource for further development in these taluks. Wells are the major source of irrigation in the district. There were 605 dug wells and 277730 bore wells in the district as per 3rd Minor Irrigation census. But as per 4th Minor irrigation census there are only 461 dug wells, but number of bore wells has gone up to 29936 in the district.

4.5 Water conversation and Artificial Recharge: CGWB has carried out experimental artificial recharge studies under Central Sector Scheme in Mulbagal taluks during 1994-95 to 1998-99. Under this, desilting of two percolation tanks (at Manchiganahalli in Mulbagal taluk), watershed treatment in one area (Bovibikkanahalli, Mulbagal taluk), gravity recharge experiments in two well fields at Belchikkanahalli and Hussainpura, Gauribidanur taluk, and roof-top rain harvesting structure and point recharge studies at five locations in Hosur (2 Nos.) Baktharahalli & Sonaganahalli in Gauribidanur and Manchiganahalli in Mulbagal taluk were experimented. The above studies have shown favorable results in building up storage in the area to the tune of 3 to 7m. and resulted in an improvement in the productivity of

21 irrigation bore wells. In the district all the area is suitable for artificial recharge schemes. In the district as many as 16 subsurface dams, 532 percolation tanks, 3150 Chek dams and 142 point recharge structures are feasible.

4.6 Groundwater Issues and Problems: Groundwater plays an important role in the economy of the farmers of the Kolar district. This district is popularly known as land of Silk and Milk. Agriculture was mainly dependent on irrigation facility by numerable widely distributed tanks during earlier days. Due to drought situations farmers are now mainly depending upon bore wells for their agriculture needs. There are about 29936 bore wells in the district, which reflects on the dependency of farmers on groundwater. Taluk-wise groundwater resources, drafts, balance resources available and the category as on March 2009 show no scope for further groundwater development. All the taluks are over exploited. On an average over draft of 23491 ham per year is occurring in the district which results in continuous lowering of water table.

Even though Kolar district stands first in having the maximum number of irrigation tanks in Karnataka, their dependability for irrigation again depends upon rainfall conditions. Hence, groundwater has a special significance for the all-round development of this water-starved district and plays a vital role in the development of this drought-prone area.

Fluoride concentration of more than 1.5 mg/l. is reported from many parts in the district. However, some of the exploratory bore wells also have recorded fluoride concentration of 2mg/l. and above. Nitrate concentration of more than 100ppm is reported from parts of Mulbagal, Bangarpet and Malur taluks. Health problems due to excess fluoride result due to ingestion of fluoride mainly through drinking water, food items, drugs and cosmetics. Although fluoride levels in drinking water are said to be the cause for the dlsease, health complaints are aggravated when water has high alkalinity, low calcium content and a diet deficient in vitamin and minerals. An individual may suffer from skeletal fluorosis, dental fluorosis, nonskeletal manifestations or all or any combination of the above. 22

CHAPTER – 5 MINERAL RESOURCES OF KOLAR DISTRICT

5.1 Minerals of Kolar: Kolar is rich in its mineral wealth which is distributed unevenly across the district. Rich deposits of gold, clay, corundum, feldspar, garnet, kaolin, graphite, tungsten, molybdenum, quartz/ silica sand etc. are found in the district. The details of the mineral resources are given here under;  Gold: Karnataka State contains the bulk of the known gold resources of the country. The mines in the Kolar Gold Fields (KGF) and the Hutti mines accounted for about 98% of the primary gold production in India during 1992. The well known Kolar Gold Field has a long record of continuous production since 1880 with a peak production of 19,565 Kg in 1905 and has so far produced 815 tonnes of 'Yellow Metal'. Mine working have reached incredible depths of more than 3km below surface, consisting of 63km of shaft sinking and 650km of tunnels, which gives an idea of the enormous amount of excavation that has been carried out in this field.

Fifty million tones averaging 16g/t have been mined and treated, yielding nearly 815 tonnes of gold whose value, at the present price is about Rs.244,500 crore! The trend of gold production and grade of ore treated in previous years is varies with assay value. More than 26 loads are reported from the fields. These have been classified into two main groups; West Reefs (Sulphidic) and East Reefs (Free milling).

The west reefs are strata bound and confined to the inter flow banded chert and tuffaceous beds, are banded and sulphide rich. The dominant sulphide mineral is pyrrhotitie with subordinate chalcopyrite and arsenopyrite. The western reefs are

23 situated 450-500m west of the champion load system, extend over a strike length of 4700m and are spread over a width of 300m. They have contributed 2.5% of the gold produced from the Kolar Gold Fiel.

Some of the best mining engineers and metallurgists of the world were employed in earlier years when the mines were under British management, and Kolar gold fields had earned an international reputation as a leader in the technique of deep mining, especially in areas of high rock stress and highly deformed ground.

Map-7: Geological Map of undivided Kolar District

24 The Kolar Gold Field comprising the Champion, Nundydoorg, Mysore and Bisanattam mine areas is located in the central part of the 80 km long Kolar schist belt. These are two zones of subparallel lodes which are sub-conformable to the meta-basite host rock viz., the Champion lode on east, and on the west Oriental lode and McTaggert lode. Two types of lodes are normally distinguished (1) gold-quartz lodes represented mainly by the Champion lode (2) gold-quartz sulphide lodes represented by the Oriental and McTaggert lodes. In type-1 lodes, sulphides, viz., arsenopyrite, pyrite, chalcopyrite, pyrrhotite, pentlandite and galena are subordinate varying from traces to 2% of volume of rock, scheelite is present in appreciable quantity at places. In type-2 lodes, sulphides viz., pyrrhotite, pyrite, arsenopyrite, chalcopyrite, sphalerite and rare galena are in the order of 10-12% of volume of rock.

Gold is hosted in a succession of pillowed meta-basalt (Komatiitic and tholeiitic), metagabbro and schistose meta-pyroxenite, localised along steeply dipping (mostly subvertical) N-S trending shear zones. The lodes appear to thicken at the intersections between two successive generations of shear zones, striking respectively N-S and NNW-SSE. Also on a broader scale, an affinity is indicated between the Champion lode and komatiitic basalts (tuffed amphibolites). The Chigargunta and Mallappakonda mines in Andhra Pradesh lie along the southern continuation of the Kolar Gold Field.

The Bharath Gold Mining Company Ltd. had mined the gold in Kolar Gold Field area since more than a century. As the mining was unprofitable due to exhaust of the 25 ore, government has decided to close the mine and hence the mine is non productive at present. a) History of Gold Mining at KGF The tradition of mining gold at Kolar started at least as early as the first millennium BC with linkages to the Indus Valley civilization. Golden objects found in Harappa and Mohenjodaro have been traced to KGF through an impurities- analysis assay, as the impurities include 11% silver concentration, found only in KGF ore. Pliny, a Roman historian who passed in this area in 77 C.E., wrote about gold and silver mines. The Champion reef at the Kolar gold fields was mined to a depth of 50 meters during the Gupta period in the fifth century A.D. Subsequently, the metal continued to be mined during the Chola period in the 9th and 10th century AD, the Vijayanagara Empire from 1336 to 1565, and later by Tippu Sultan, the leader of Mysore state. The scale of the operations grew at each stage by the digging of small to large pits.

Renewed interest in the Kolar gold fields occurred towards the beginning of the nineteenth century. In 1802, John Warren, a British surveyor set up a camp to explore the possibility of mining gold in the Kolar region. The ancient gold workings, other workings which may have been 200 to 600 years old and the workings of Tippu Sultan were all located by Captain Warren in 1802. In 1873, M.F. Lavelle, an Irish soldier who returned from New Zealand after fighting Maori war and settled in Bangalore, applied to the Mysore Government for the exclusive privilege of mining in the Kolar district. His request was granted and he commenced operations by sinking a shaft near Uirgam (Oorgaum) in 1875, but, finding that large capital would be required, in the following year and with the approval of the

26 government, Lavalle transferred all his rights and concessions to Major General G. de la Poer Beresford. General Beresford formed a syndicate known as the Kolar Concessionaries which took up the matter in earnest, and gradually acquired most of the area now known as the Kolar Gold Fields. However, large-scale mining only came in the 1890s under the British firm John Taylor & Company which did much of the prospecting and mining with more skilled manpower and sophisticated machinery.

The principal mines in the Gold Fields starting with Michael F. Lavelle in 1864 to the mines developed by John Taylor & Company up to 1905. Later, after 1956, BGML amalgamated the Champion and Mysore mines and started the Yeppamana and Old Baisanathan Mines.

The mines were taken over by the Government of Mysore in 1956 and by the Ministry of Finance, Government of India in 1962. They were handed over to the government company called Bharat Gold Mines Limited under the Ministry of Mines in 1972. The Bharat Gold Mines Limited has thus come out of various combinations and permutations. The company has the record of having Morarji Desai as its chairman (when it was with the Finance Ministry) and some of the erstwhile chief Ministers of Mysore State (when it was with the government of Mysore).

The gold mines of KGF were closed down by BGML in 2001 due to reducing deposits and increasing costs. Since then a legal struggle is being waged by the ex-employees of BGML against the Ministry of Mines. In September 2003 the Karnataka High Court directed the government to hand over the mines to the employees and in December 2006, the Ministry undertook in court to do so at a market determined

27 price. In July, 2010 after protracted litigation, the High Court of Karnataka finalized the terms and procedure of transfer.

The Bharat Gold Mines Limited is a PSU under the administrative control of the Ministry of Mines and is now closed. It was set up in 1972 to operate the Kolar Gold Mines taken over by the central government from the government of Mysore. It was primarily engaged in gold mining from its captive mines in the Kolar Gold Fields (KGF) located mainly in Karnataka but partly also in Andhra Pradesh. Towards its last years the company also undertook mine development, shaft sinking, manufacture of mining machinery and other fabricated items for outside clients for which it set up a Mine Construction and Engineering Division. Until the time of its closure, BGML was the only world-class gold mining operation in India and Kolar was known as the largest gold production centre in Asia (Ore & Industry in the Far East by H. Foster Bain - NY Times Review, 1927)

The Kolar Gold Mines of BGML were closed down in the year 2001 as the gold ore reserves got exhausted after 150 years of continuous and heavy extraction. Both the exploration agencies of government viz. the Geological Survey of India (GSI) and the Mineral Exploration Corporation Limited (MECL) declared that mining the meagre remaining reserves was not a technically or economically viable option. At the time of its closure BGML had run up losses of more than Rs. 900 crore.

Though proper mining operations at Kolar started only in 1880 the actual mining of gold ore itself is stated to go back many centuries. There are archival references to the Cholas of south India running small mining pits in the region and there are some references to Kolar being important for similar reasons under the Vijayanagaram rulers. Hyder Ali and Tipu Sultan attempting to extract gold from the Kolar pits with the help of French geologists is a recorded concern of the East India Company factors. Certainly, after the defeat of Tipu Sultan in 1799 and the "discovery" of gold in Kolar by surveyor Captain John Warren in 1802, there is curtain on Kolar till about 1850 when Michael Lavalle turned up in England and settled in his estate as a 28 gentleman who made his fortune from the gold mines of Kolar. A joint stock company floated in England by Lavalle & his associates applied for a proper mining license from the Mysore government in 1873, which license was then sold to the British John Taylor & Company. The current mines have an official history of about 130 years, beginning from 1880 when the first mines under a License were started by John Taylor & Company. b) Changing hands:

The Kolar Gold Mines were taken up for systematic exploitation by John Taylor & Sons in 1880. The next 60 years saw the mines gaining name and fame with the word "Kolar" becoming a synonym for gold in India. After independence in 1947 it was decided to nationalise the mines and in 1956 they were handed over by John Taylor & Co. to the government of Mysore for being run as a state enterprise. With the Gold Control Act in 1960 the Finance Ministry of the central government took over the mines and gave the national Mint the exclusive rights to all gold from Kolar. In 1972 the Bharat Gold Mines Limited (BGML) was established by the government of India under the Ministry of Mines and the Kolar mines were handed over to the BGML to be run as a PSU of the central government.

By that time the last three remaining mines of Kolar viz. Mysore, Champion and Nandydroog were already beginning to run their course. During the next 20 years the miners had to go deeper and deeper for the remaining gold until at 3000 metres Kolar came to be known as the second deepest mine in the world. The quality of gold ore also started steadily deteriorating from the once amazing 14 g/t to <4g/t. By 1992 the net worth of BGML was fully eroded. By 1998 the reserves came close to exhaustion and the cost of extracting gold exceeded the price of gold by more than ten times. Several studies carried out by experts concluded that the time had come for Kolar to pass into history. This is because of the uneconomical mining activity recorded for several years in KGF areas due to high labour cost and low assay value of the gold bearing ores.

29 c) Closure:

Although the mines were formally closed in 2001 the history of closure goes back to 1992-93 when the formal decision to close down the mine was taken by the GoI on the basis of the Chari Committee Report. The Report stated that not only were the reserves close to exhaustion but the company which had been making losses from the very beginning (1972) could not be turned round as a viable operation and could only survive with continuous and heavy subsidies from government. In fact from 1992 itself the company was surviving with the help of subsidies from GOI. Several other studies undertaken subsequently confirmed these findings. In 1998 the company was referred to BIFR for closure.

A bitter struggle between the unions and management ensued. The unions were keen to save the jobs of their 3000 members and government was bent upon closing down the operation which required continuous support from the tax payer. The unions lost in both BIFR and AAIFR. The Ministry of Labour also abandoned the unions and permitted closure under the ID Act. The main argument of the unions was that if the government could not run the mines they should hand them over to labour.

BGML being the only gold mine in India and its geologists and engineers being the only gold mining experts in the country the employees were confident that they could not only extract the remaining reserves economically but also extract the very low quality gold from the tailing dumps or the over burden discarded as useless mounds of earth over several decades. This would enable them to remain in operation for at least another 30 years. The Ministry of Mines wanted to liquidate the assets through the court liquidator so that loans advanced by government to BGML could be recovered. The unions claimed in court that the hidden agenda was to sell off the BGML lands for real estate development. Finally, in 2003 a Division Bench of the Karnataka High Court directed government to hand over the mines to labour strictly for the purpose of revival of mining operations.

30 d) Availability of Gold:

It is not correct to say that there is no more gold in the Kolar Gold Field. In the earlier years mining companies, with an eye to making quick profits, mined only the higher grades of ore, leaving untouched lower grade reefs which contained insufficient gold (less than about 15g/t) to meet costs at the then low price of gold of about Rs.1.70 per gm. No proper estimate appears to have been made of the extent of such low grade ore within the upper levels and from the surface upto the first level. New technology especially that perfected in Australia, has demonstrated that it is possible to extract profitably ore, analyzing as low as 1 to 2.5g/t by resorting to excavation in large size open pits. It seems advisable to locate, on the basis of old records, favourable sites where open pit mining can be attempted. e) Re-Opening:

The decision of the Karnataka High Court was accepted by the Government of India at the highest level, viz. the Union Cabinet, in its meeting held on 27 July 2006. The Company Court was informed accordingly by the Ministry of Mines in a sworn affidavit in December 2006. The proposal of the government to hand over the mines to the employees' federation at a price to be determined through a global tender was approved by the High Court in July 2009 and confirmed in a Review petition filed by government a few months later. However, after that the picture became blurred. All movement on the revival front from the Ministry of Mines came to a halt and there was no sign of the tender. It was speculated in some circles that the rise in the price of gold could be inducing government to go back on its decision to let the unions run the mines. Others saw the hidden hand still at work since no matter how high the price of gold goes the resources are too meagre to make mining operations viable enough to justify government intervention through the public exchequer. In early 2010, the Ministry of Mines suddenly decided to go in appeal to the Division Bench seeking changes in the Tender Document approved by the single bench. In February 2010, in the course of hearing before the Division Bench the advocate of the Ministry of Mines informed the Karnataka High Court that the Government has

31 decided to revive the mines on its own. In the light of this decision the Division Bench quashed the single bench order. However, since there was no further progress in the matter even after several months the unions filed a Review Petition in which they challenged the very authenticity of the statement made on behalf of the Ministry in the court but the court would have none of it. The plea of the unions was turned down without obtaining any kind of commitment from the government about revival. f) Supreme Court Delivers Verdict:

On 9 July 2013 the Supreme Court finally gave its nod to the Union government’s plan to float a global tender to revive Bharat Gold Mines Ltd. thus bringing relief to over 250 thousand citizens of Kolar Gold Fields and 3000 families of the mine workers.

The mines were closed 12 years ago, a decision that has been fought by BGML employees in several courts. The Supreme Court has set aside the Karnataka High Court Division Bench order which decreed that the union government should run the mines on its own ruling out the option of tendering. This decision ignored the fact that BIFR had spent more than 4 years in examining how the government could revive the mines and in the end reached the same conclusion as the Chari and other committees that the mines could not be revived without risk investment and off- the-shelf technology which was not possible for the government to do.

The President of the BGM Officers Supervisors & Employees United Forum & BGM All Employees Industrial Co-operative Mr K M Divakaran has expressed his satisfaction at the outcome and was quoted telling the press that in the end everything has gone well for KGF and the employees and their families who are now eagerly waiting for the tender process to begin.

The Union Government on 19th September 2013 released the Bid Document for appointing Service providers by 9th October 2013, they will Assist BGM for Release of Tender in compliance with the Cabinet Decision dated 27 July 2006/Company Bench of HC of Karnataka Order dated 3 July 2009 for Revival of Mine operations.

The Tender will be released before 3rd week of November & will be kept open for Three months and will be finalised by 2nd week of February 2014. Before Six weeks from then the Final Agreement for Transferring the Assets & for re-opening the

Mining Operations which was awaited for more than a decade will begin.

g) Tender Process Begins:

Government has invited bids from consultancy firms to be roped in as "service provider" for the proposed sale of Bharat Gold Mines (BGML) through competitive bidding route. "BGML intends to offer for sale the assets of the company like land, buildings, gold ore, reserves/resources, tailing dumps, plants and machineries, equipment etc located in Kolar Gold Fields, Karnataka; Bisnatham Mine and Chitargunta Mines in Chittur District and Ramagri Mines in Ananthapur District of Andhra Pradesh, through global competitive bidding route," the Mines Ministry said in its website. "BGML intends to select and appoint a service provider for this purpose," it said, inviting bids from merchant and investment banks and consultancy firms. The role of the service provider would be to update the existing documents prepared in 2008 titled "Request for Proposal" and "Memorandum of Information" and assist in determining the Reserve Price for the assets put on block. It would further assist in selection of the successful bidder for the assets through global bid process including in holding pre-bid meeting, opening and evaluating bids and advice on selection of the successful bidder. "The service provider will eventually assist in finalising and executing an Agreement for transfer of the assets to the successful bidder," it said. Interested parties have been asked to submit their bids to the company.

 Clay: Clay deposits of refractory grade occur near Karadibande and Doddakunthur, Malur Taluk and the clay found near Bellambore, Kolar taluk is suitable to be used as raw material for porcelain industries.  Corundum: Corundum is of ornamental precious variety occurs near Dodderi of Bangarpet taluk.

 Feldspar: Pegmatite occurs near Kamasamudra, Bangarpet taluk.  Garnet: Semi precious to precious variety of garnet is being used for rings and stud are found to occur around Kamasamudra and Sakarasanahalli villages of Bangarpet taluk.  Kaolin: Occurs in Gokunte village in Mulbagal taluk.  Limestone: Manganiferous limestone occurs in the village limits of Sakarsanahalli, Bangarpet talun, and the deposit was mined by the Mysore Gold Mining Company in the past. Random samples from the area analysed and the found composition is CaO – 25 to

28%, MgO – 5.5 to 6%, Mn – 12.5 to 14.6%, SiO2 – 6.85 to 12.6%, R2O3 – 5.51 to 8.81% and IR – 3.67 to 8.05%.  Graphite Graphite, both crystalline and amorphous varieties, occurs as a component of low and high grade pelitic schists. The important graphite deposits in the state are associated with high grade pelitic schist of Sargur Group in Mysore and Kolar districts. However in Kolar, Graphite occurs associated with quartz-mica schist near Ganacharpura. There are three mineralised zones which extend upto 100 m in length and upto 4 m in width. The carbon content ranges from 12 to 25% and estimated reserves are 10,200 tonnes. Vasudev and Mukherjee (1986) documented the details of Garianpura belt.  Molybdenite Sparse disseminations of molybdenite have been noticed in the later phase of the Peninsular Gneiss and in younger alkali-feldspar granites or at the interface of pegmatite veins and quartz reefs; as yet no economic deposit of molybdenite has come to light. However in Kolar, Molybdenite has been noticed occurring as patches and specks in the pegmatite veins traversing the granites of the Peninsular Gneissic Complex at Yagavkote (Vasudev and Jayaram, 1979). Values range upto 0.2% Mo.

 Tungsten Incidence of scheelite associated with gold mineralisation is known from the Kolar Gold Field, Hutti Gold Mines, Gadag Gold Field and Chitradurga schist belt. Incidence of tungsten mineralisation is reported from Gulbarga district also. Whereas in the Kolar Gold Field significant scheelite mineralisation is reported from Champion, Nandydoorg and Mysore mines in the Champion lode and its offshoots, Mundy’s lode, E.Lode, New Quartz E.lode, Muscoom and Mc.Taggart’s West lode. Scheelite occurs either within the gold reef or in wall rock near the lode content. Reserves in these mines are estimated to be 0.266 million tonnes with 0.18% W03.

5.2 Mineral Exploration and Production: Mines and Geology Department, Kolar has identified various mineral deposits in the district and further initiated for their extraction and production. Gold exploration is an expensive undertaking and the aim and objective of explorationof a property should be clearly defined before taking up the work. The exploiting agency should be identified and closely associated with all stages of exploration, as a certain amount of underground development is necessary and this must be carried out bearing in mind possible future production possibilities. In case of gold, whose distribution of values is usually highly erratic it is easy to make erroneous assessments and a value deposit may be condemned through largely superficial and insufficient examination. Table-5 gives the taluk wise picture on mineral deposits available in the district.
