Sri. K. Athaulla Pre-feasibility Report EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Sri. K. Athaulla has granted grey granite quarrying located in Survey No. 67/P of Attivatti Village, Koppal Taluk and District, Karnataka over an extent of 9.0 acres. The quarry lease area is granted by Government of Karnataka vide Notification No. CI 181 MMN 2011 dated 21.12.2011. The copy of the notification is enclosed as Annexure-I in the approved quarrying plan . The location of the quarry is shown in the Key plan enclosed vide Plate No. 1.The approved lease sketch is enclosed vide Plate No. 2. The quarrying operations are being carried out and producing 500 m3 of granite from this lease area. The quarrying activities are commenced in the years 2013. The latest survey was carried out to know the geological occurrence of grey granite at further depths. Based on the existing pits and adjacent working pits, the reserves are re- estimated and proved that 2,42,617 m3 of mineable reserves are available in this area. Accordingly, quarry plan is prepared for maximum production of 5000 m3 per annum. The said quarrying lease is having approved quarrying plan by Senior Geologist, Dept. of Mining & Geology, Govt. of Karnataka, Koppal. The quarrying plan approved vides Letter No. DMG/SG/KPL885/QPA/2017-18/1144 dated 31.07.2017. A copy of approval letter is enclosed along with the quarrying plan. The lessee intends to enhance the production from 500 m3 to 5000 m3 from this quarry by fully mechanized quarrying methods. The demand for granite is increased due to the upcoming infrastructure projects in Karnataka regions as well as good demand for export. Hence a systematic and scientific method of mining is proposed for maximum production of 5000m3 per annum.

Identification of project and project proponent. In case of Mining project, a copy of mining lease/ letter of intent should be given. Grey Granite Quarry is located in Survey No. 67/P of Attivatti Village, Koppal Taluk, Koppal District, Karnataka state over an extent of 9.0 Acres.The mining lease area is granted by Government of Karnataka vide Notification No. CI 181 MMN 7011 DATED 21.12.2011. The copy of the notification is enclosed as Annexure-I in the approved quarrying plan. Name & address of lessee : Sri. K. Athaulla & C/o K. Phasalulla & Brothers, Registered Office Hampi Road, Hosapete- 583201, Karnataka Ph.No - +919448473903 II. Brief description of nature of the project This is the existing grey granite quarry and quarrying operations shall be carried out in a systematic and scientific way. The proposal is made for the open cast quarrying. Drilling shall be done by jack hammer. Excavator, Crane & tippers shall be used for loading& transportation. The maximum production from this area shall be5,000m3 of granite. The proposal is made for the opencast Quarrying by other than fully mechanized method. It is proposed to produce maximum 5,000m3 granite from this quarrying plan period. The quarry is planned out in such a way by taking advantage of the geological structures especially the major sets ..3 Sri. K. Athaulla Pre-feasibility Report of joints. The height of the bench shall be maintained to 3mt and the width shall not be less than the height of the benches. The bench slope shall be maintained to 45 0. Initially drilling by pneumatic jack hammers (hole diameter-32mm) shall be done at appropriate intervals (20-30 cms) to the desired depth. Smooth blasting is effected by using gun powder. The loose joints can be split by feather and wedges. If the joints are tight, as we go deep, the methodology will change accordingly. III. Need for the project and its importance to the country and or region. Quarrying for extraction of granite is one of the important economic activity contribute to the State Revenue of Karnataka. The quarrying activities shall provide socio-economic benefits to the local populace with direct & indirect employment opportunities. The regional benefits to the state in the form of Royalty, DMF, Cess, Taxes etc. In addition to this local people will get employment and transportation facilities. IV. Demand-Supply Gap . The demand for grey granites increasing along with the increase in infrastructure and construction activities in Karnataka. This quarry can produce maximum 5,000m3 of granite annually for the infrastructure & construction industry in Karnataka. V. Imports Vs Indigenous production There is a good demand of grey granite for export as well as for local industry. VI. Export possibility. There is a good demand for export market for grey granite. VII. Domestic/Export markets. The grey granite also exported as well as consume locally for slab making . VIII.Employment Generation (Direct and Indirect) due to the project. As per the requirement of Mines Act and MCDR 1980, Mining Engineer/Mines Foreman shall be appointed to supervise the quarrying operations. The list of the staff and workmen those shall be employed in the quarry is given below. ..4 Sri. K. Athaulla Pre-feasibility Report Sl.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION (i) Type of project including interlinked and interdependent projects, if any. The grey granite produced from quarry shall be transported to the polishing industries at Kushtigi and part of the material shall be sold to the export market. The generated granite blocks shall be transported to the polishing industries for cutting and making the required sizes of tiles, blocks etc., and this project is interlinked with polishing industries. The generated blocks may not sold to the consumers without polishing the blocks. [ (ii) Location (map showing general location, specific location, and project boundary & project site layout) with Co-ordinates. The Grey Granite Quarry area over an extent of 9.00 Acres (3.64 Ha) is located in Survey No 67/Pof Attivatti Village, Koppal Taluk & District, Karnataka. The location of the same is shown in Plate No.1 . The latitude & longitude of the area is given below. Latitude N 15 020’01.0” to N 15 020’6.8” Longitude E 076 024’12.9” to E 76 024’25.3” (iii) Details of alternate sites considered and the basis of selecting the proposed site, particularly the environmental considerations gone into should be highlighted. Grey Granite quarry leases are site specific. Hence there is no alternative suitable area available for quarrying. However the area is located in Safer Zone area of Koppal Dist. (iv) Size or magnitude of operation. Medium scale operation. ..5 Sri. K.
