Sri B.Anantha Reddy is in quartz & Feldspar Business from Ranga Reddy, he has applied for grant of quarry lease for Quartz & Feldspar occurring at Sy. No.210 & 211 of Gattu ippalapally village, Talakondapally Mandal, Ranga Reddy District, Telangana State. In the approved mining plan the average year wise production is given about 36,003 T/annum. Due to heavy demand of Quartz & Feldspar the lessee has interested to do the mining. Now the application is submitted for Environment Clearance for the production capacity of 36,003 T/annum to DEIAA, Ranga Reddy, Telangana State. 2.3. Need for the project and its importance to the country and or region. M/s. Alekya Minerals, Proprietor Sri. B. Anantha Reddy, has well-established contact with the buyers from Chennai, Bangalore, New Delhi, Hyderabad and Rajasthan. The sale of the quartz at the international marketing is different from the marketing of other products. Applicant has plans to enter international market in a big way by purchasing sophisticated equipment for quarrying and processing 2.4. Demand-Supply. M/s. Alekya Minerals Proprietor Sri. B. Anantha Reddy, has developed a very strong net-work of operating quarries and established wide contacts with marketing agency in India. The applicant is well equipped by efficient executives and technocrats with up to date knowledge on quarrying technology, advances in processing techniques, marketing strategies and financial management.

The area gently sloping towards South - Eastern side. This region is characterized by tropical climate. Q.L area for grant of Quarry lease has been demarcated on the ground with reference to pillar (8), which is located at NW corner of the Q. L applied area. Later the topographical survey of the area is carried out and the pillar (8) is taken as ABM 100m. Even though the Quartz is well exposed to surface and Feldspar to subsurface level in this area, Eight DTH holes were drilled from top of the mound to a depth of 50m each and it is noticed that the boreholes that the mineral is not continuing further depth beyond 30m an average 3.4.2 Regional Geology The Quarry lease applied area forms part of Talakondapally division in the west side of the Nalgonda District in Telangana. It consists of Granites, Granitie Gneisses and Granitoid porphyries and is traversed by Dolerite dyke and numerous veins of pegmatite, quartz and epidote. The Granites are of gray and white types. The granite gneisses show alternate bands of mafic and felsic minerals. Dolerite dyke occur in the form of ridge. Quartz veins are of ribbon type having thickness Page No. 5 M/s.Alekya Minerals Quartz & Feldspar Mine – 2.27 Ha. Environment Management Plan ranging from 5to 50 cm over a length of up to 100 cm. The thickness of Pegmatite ranging from 10 cm to 1.0mtrs., thickness up to 50 cm. They consist of quartz, feldsper (mostly microcline), mascovite, phogophite, biotite, tourmaline and apatite minerals. 3.4.3 Local Geology The Quartz and Feldspar cut across the Granite gneiss, which corresponds to the peninsular gneiss, is consciously banded. The light bands being rich in quartz and feldspar and the dark bands in mica and hornblende. The Country rock exposed towards north sides of the Quartz deposit. The trend of the Quartz vein is E-W direction. The trend of the Feldspar vein is NW-SE direction. The Quartz and Feldspar veins have invariably sharp contacts with the host rock. No shear zone or fault has been noticed in this area. Since it is sub surface formation there are no major discontinuities. The Quartz is found to occur as sub-surface formation. The sheet formation is not exposed in the study area. In the Study area the joints are trending in N 40 E and N 40 W. in general the overall shape of the Quarry openings would be broadly governed by the direction of the prominent sets of joints. Joints are helpful in rock splitting at primary stage. 3.4.4 Reserves Category Geological Reserves Proved Reserves 45000 Reserves blocked under 33750 buffer zone Life of the mine = Mineable reserves/Actual anticipated annual production = 367470/36003=10 Years. (Approved Mining Plan) 3.5. Project description with process details Type of Mining: To cut down cost and for achieving targeted production of Quartz the operations are planned to be carried out partly manually and partly by deploying machinery that poclain is to be deployed for removal. The proposed mining in the subject area is a semi mechanised, open cast method. Mining of Quartz and Feldspar in Page No.
