2.3 NEED FOR THE PROJECT AND ITS IMPORTANCE TO THE COUNTRY OR REGION

The basic objective of the project is to effective utilization of Mineral in the country and /or region. With the development and industrialization has enhanced the demand of Limestone. Limestone is greatly used in architecture as it is easily obtained, cut and carved. Limestone rocks contain flint, clay, sand and calcite in varying amounts. It is also preferred by most of the people

PROJECT: LIME STONE & DOLOMITE MINING PROJECT PRE-FEAS IBILITY REPORT APPLICANT: SRI K.H.SABARAD in architecture and decoration, as it is long lasting and does well in every climatic condition. Calcareous sedimentary rocks are known as limestone and they are composed of the mineral calcite. When calcite’s calcination is done, it gives lime as a product. In nature, limestone is available in various purity levels, depending upon the other minerals present with it. For example, if some limestone is present with more than 10% of dolomite, it is called as dolomite limestone and same goes for magnesium limestone too. When limestone is recrystallised and polished, it becomes a decorative and building stone called “marble.

2.4 DEMANDS-SUPPLY GAP In India Limestone has a wide application and demand. The major application of limestone in India is in cement Industry. According to the Cement Manufacturers’ Association, (2010) India ranks second in cement production in the world, with an installed capacity of about 230 million tonnes in 2008–09. The Indian cement industry has been on a high growth trajectory for more than a decade, led by buoyancy in sectors such as real estate and construction. Government expenditure on infrastructure, in the Eleventh Five Year Plan (2007–2012), is expected to be to the tune of US$ 350 billion. Moreover, the government's continued thrust on infrastructure will help the key building material to maintain an annual growth of 9-10 per cent in 2011. The mining industry has witnessed continuous modernization and adoption of new technologies in recent years for the excavation of mineral like Limestone. Limestone demand has been on an upsurge in India due to the high-rise demand in the cement Industry. Demand is being driven by mega infrastructure, residential and commercial projects.

Major producing areas/ Supply In India, limestone is available in many states such as Karnataka, Rajasthan, Himachal Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh and Jharkhand. The value of production of non-metallic minerals was at Rs. 3527.62 crores during 2008- 09, and increased by 2.89% as compared to the previous year. Limestone retained its leading position by contributing 70.92% of the total value of non-metallic minerals in 2008-09. The production of Limestone at 204 million tonnes in 2008-09 increased by 5% as compared the previous year. Limestone is widely produced in India. As much as 88% of the total output in 2008-09 was contributed by seven principal States; viz. Andhra Pradesh (22%), Rajasthan

PROJECT: LIME STONE & DOLOMITE MINING PROJECT PRE-FEAS IBILITY REPORT APPLICANT: SRI K.H.SABARAD

(18%), Madhya Pradesh (13%), Gujarat (11%), and Tamil Nadu, Chhattisgarh and Karnataka (8% each). The remaining 12% of the total production was shared by other limestone producing States.

2.5 IMPORTS VS. INDIGENOUS PRODUCTION There will be no import of Limestone. 2.6 EXPORT POSSIBILITY Limestone production from this project will be exported. 2.7 DOMESTIC/ EXPORT MARKETS DOMESTIC MARKET Sri. K.H.

3.3 DETAILS OF ALTERNATE SITES No alternate site was considered as the project is mineral specific.

3.4 SIZE OR MAGNITUDE OF OPERATION 3.4.1 GEOLOGY 3.4.1.1 GENERAL GEOLOGY

Calcareous materials occur in almost all the geological formations of India, but, those of Commercial importance occur in the rocks of Pre-cambrian, Triassic, Eocene and Sub Recent to Recent formations. In Karnataka state, calcareous materials cover a large area Especially in Bhimas and Kaladgis of Pre-cambrian era.

The study area forms a part of the Kaladgi basin which belongs to the Upper Cuddapah system. “Kaladgi Series” was the name originally given by Bruce Foote (1876) to the rocks deposited in an interior basin named after the town of Kaladgi, where rocks of this group were first seen well developed. Kaladgi series are exposed fringing the southern border of the great expanse of flat- laying Deccan trap cover and are seen to extend in the form of an E-W trending irregular doubly plunging basin. Bulk exposures are confined to Belgaum, Bijapur and Bagalkot districts with outliers in Dharwad and Gadag districts.

The basin extends E-W for nearly 500 Km and is hidden beneath the Deccan trap to the west and to north.

The Kaladgi rocks were originally divided by Foote in to two groups, lower and upper group, on the basis of unconformity and distinct tectonic evidences. But, the recent works have necessitated a recision in stratigraphy. The Kaladgi has now been accorded a Supergroup status

1 0

PROJECT: LIME STONE & DOLOMITE MINING PROJECT PRE-FEAS IBILITY REPORT APPLICANT: SRI K.H.SABARAD consisting of a lower group for which the name Bagalkot group has been given. The upper sequence is designated as the Badami Group. A number of formations have also been recognized.

The order of superposition as given by B. P. Radhakrishna (1997) is given as follows.

Badami Goup Shales, Limestones and Haematite Schists

(Upper) quarzites, local conglomerate, breccia

------Angular Unconformity ------

Bagalkot Goup Limestones, clays and shales, sandstones

(Lower) and shales, silicious limestone and

hornstone breccia quartizite,

conglomerates and sandstones.

The lower Bagalkot group and the upper Badami group of rocks of Kaladgi Super Group are divided by a distinct angular unconformity in-between. The upper Badami group has a thickness of 290m while the lower Bagalkot group has thickness of 3360m.

The lower Bagalkot group is further divided into lower Lokapur sub group (2211 m thick) and upper Simikere sub group (1149 m thick). The Lokapur and Simekere sub groups possess similar litho-units but, the former has a greater thickness and larger area extent. The Bagalkot groups of rocks are confined to the central parts of the Kaladgi basin and always occur as elongated doubly plunging synclines and complimentary anticlines of different dimensions with longer axes trending E-W to WNW-ESE. The Badami group of rocks overlies the two subgroups of Bagalkot group as well as the basement granitoids with an unconformity marked by a prominent conglomerate horizon.

Limestone formations of the area are by and large confined to the Lokapur sub group of the lower Bagalkot group.

3.5.3 BLASTING PARAMETERS The explosive required per annum at a powder factor of 7 tonnes/ kg will be 1,26,316 /7t/kg =18,045 kg(say). It is proposed to use slurry explosive. The charge per hole is 250gms ; charging will be by safety fuse ; handling – tie up with the explosive suppliers (sale, possesses and use of explosives) ; system of initiation – ordinary. In addition, we require 67,476 m of safety fuse and 44,984 number of ordinary detonators for detonation purpose. About 150 holes to be blasted/day. 75 holes will be blasted at one time, likewise 2 times blasting will be done in a day. No significant air blast or vibrations will be envisaged. However, since the area is surrounded by an agricultural land, if required, sand bags/ mud bags will be kept on holes and will be muffled.

PROJECT: LIME STONE & DOLOMITE MINING PROJECT PRE-FEAS IBILITY REPORT APPLICANT: SRI K.H.SABARAD

Powder factor :

The detailed calculations showing the powder factor in this area is as follows.

Spacing ………………………… 1.00 m

Burden ………………………… 0.90 m

Depth of the hole ………………… 1.50 m

Bulk Density ………………… 2.60 t/Cum

Blasting efficiency ……………… 80%

Therefore, the powder factor = 1.00m x 0.90m x 1.5m x 2.60 t/Cum

= 3.51 tonnes for 0.5 kg. Explosives

For 1 Kg Explosives = 7.02 say 7t/Kg

Therefore, each hole gives us =1.00m x 0.90m x 1.5m x 0.80 x 2.60 t/Cum

= 2.808 tonnes ROM

The ROM to be handled is 1,26,316 tpa.

No. of holes required for 1,26,316 tpa will be 1,26,316 / 2.808 = 44,984Nos

Total drilling required will be 44,984 x 1.5m = 67,476 m

One tractor mounted compressor can give 30,000 m/ annum. Thus Three tractors

Compressors are more than adequate for the proposed production.

3.5.3.1 STORAGE OF EXPLOSIVE Storage of explosive at the mine site is not required as a vendor having valid license for blasting has been assigned to do blasting in the mines.

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 limestone.
