Mode of transportation of mineral Minor mineral will be transported by hired trucks/Tippers/tractors. Loaded Vehicles will travel on Kuccha road made for plying of trucks/Tippers/tractors, for a short distances of 0.5 to 1 kms and then on district road. g) No. of Existing Mining Pits, their dimension and locations Minor mineral is the critical component in construction activities. Presently the mineral is permitted to be removed by Geology & Mining department through short term permits. Royalty and other dues are collected by Government at various outlets called check posts. Activities are confined to various locations along the Nallah course. The 3 area where from the Nallah muck/bajri etc is proposed to be collected covers the boundaries along nallah section A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H,I,J&K in Minor mineral Block Check Drugmula to Kalaruch Upstream Pohru Nallah District Kupwara Physiography and Drainage Lease area is gently dipping towards North west to south-east indicating the flow direction of nallah. The nallah is usually dry, with menial flow to perennial flow. It has a wide flood plain comprising mostly of nallah muck/bajri/boulders etc at places the maximum width of the nallah is more than 700-1000 mtrs. The Highest elevation is 1605m at boundary E and lowest elevation is 1603m at boundary K. The flow of the nallah from E to K is from Noth west to South east. The climate of the area is cold in winter and moderate in the summer with the temperature going subzero in harsh winters from December to February and around 28 to 32 degrees in summers from April onwards to September. The average mean annual rainfall is 62mm. 4 CHAPTER-2 2.0 GEOLOGY AND EXPLORATION 2.a) Describe briefly the general topography explaining whether it is a plain land or a hilly Area and local geology, of the Mineral deposit within the leasehold. Attach a geological plan on 1:1000 /1:2000 scale with 3-10 m. contour interval. 2.a.1 PHYSIOGRAPHY Nallah Pohru Area is marked on cadastral map. The Area is almost flat. General slope of the Area is towards West to North East. Lease area is gently dipping towards North-East to south-West indicating the flow direction of nallah. The nallah is usually dry, with menial flow perennial flow. It has a wide flood plain comprising mostly of nallah muck/bajri/boulders etc at places the maximum width of the nallah is more than 700- 1000 mtrs. The Highest elevation is 1644m at boundary A and lowest elevation is 1630m at boundary J. The flow of the nallah from A to J is from North East to South West. a) REGIONAL GEOLOGY The over-all the whole area comprises of rock units from various geological formations described as under:- Sr. No. Formation Lithology Age 1 Alluvium and Unconsolidated clay, Recent river terrace silt, sand and pebble 2 Karewas Lacustrine deposits of Pleistocene to alluvial beds of loose Recent sand, pebble, clay and silts. 3 Triassic Limestone, shale, Triassic Upper siliceous limestone, Middle sandstone, quartzite Lower 4 Zewans Limestone and shale’s Permo- Carboniferous 5 Panjal traps Basaltic lava flows Upper Carboniferous 6 Cambrian Silurian Predominantly shales, Cambrian to slates, quartzitic Silurian limestone. 5 The Kupwara area comprises of a number of valleys surrounded by moderate to high mountains. Hard mountain formations mainly contain Cambrio-Silurian and Permo-Carboniferrous formations comprising of Slates, Shale, Limestone, Quartzite, and Marble and agglomeratic Slates and Trap of Panjal Volcanic origin. The Karewas of Plio- Plistocen age mainly comprises of clay, Silt and Sand with occasional boulder beds. The Karewas of Nichame in the district Kupwara contains around 9 million tonnes of lignite deposits also. The beds of Nallas, rivers, their tributaries besides their flood plains are mainly composed of Clay, Silt, Sand, pebble, Cobbles and boulders of recent age. These deposits are erosional components carried by flowing water and replenish able too. Local Geology. The applied area comprises mainly rive/nallah course and their flood plains running in NW-SE direction. The Nallah Pohru that originates from the NN-W Mountain ranges of district Kupwara form main drain in the area and is the main agent of erosion and sedimentation in the Kupwara-Khumerial valley. During heavy rains and flush floods this Nallah transports heavy sedimentary loads from the mountainous areas and as soon as it enters the Kupwara-Khumerial plains it discharges maximum of its heavy loads along its course. It has given rise to intense meandering and oxbow lacks along its course. The deposited material, recent in age, mainly consists of pebbles, boulders, cobbles, sand and silt. There is a continuous process of transportation and deposition of these deposits along this Nallah course; hence there removal is important to safeguard from the floods and for regulating of the Nallah course. The Nallah on either side is surrounded by the flood plains which are to the maximum utilized for the Agricultural purpose beside for human habitation. In general the Nallah at the proposed lease site is a River/Nallah plain containing recent sediments viz sand, pebbles, cobbles, boulders, silt etc which are replenish able and their extraction and removal is important for the safety of surrounding areas against floods and for regulation of Nallah course.. b) Describe briefly prospecting/exploration work done to date viz. geological mapping with the evidence already existing about the Mineral deposit in the Area or in the vicinity.
