ANUPPUR (M.P.) – 484440 part of the district. The ENE-WSW trending volcano sedimentary sequences of Mahakaushal Group of palaeoproterozoic age, consisting metasediments crystalline Limestone, Phyllites, Quartzite, BHQ, Marble, Dolomite tuffs and ash beds are exposed in northern side, Dolerite, Pegmatite and vein quartz have intruded these rocks. The dyke exhibit a predominant ENE-WSW trend, Jungel Group of Mesoproterozoic age unconformably overlies the Mahakaushal Group of rocks consisting of sandstone and conglomerate occur as small thin bands in the northern part of the district. The Vindhyan Super Group represented by the Semri and Bhander group consist of congloments quartzite, Deonar porcellanites, palkawan shale, limestone glauconitic bed, olive shale and Bhander shale. Semri group is mainly exposed in northern part and Bhander shale is exposed as small belt in east central part of the northern side. Talchir group of rocks comprising diamicitferous well sorted sandstone olive green shale with basal conglomerate is exposed in southeastern and western part of the district. Barakar Formation conformably overlies the talchir formation and comprises yellowish to grayish white felspathic sandstone with carbonaceous grey shale including several coal seams. This rock type is exposed in the central, east central and west central part of the district. Most part of the district is covered by unclassified Gondwana rocks which are characterized by ferruginized pinkish to yellowish white, cross bedded sandstone, grayish shale, and green red fossiliferous clay with basal pebbly conglomerate. Lemta beds occur along the fringes of the Deccan trap covered hills in the southwestern part of the district, they rest unconformably over the Gondwana strata consisting of greenish and reddish feldspathic sandstone with cherty limestone. Deccan trap basalt of cretaceous to palaeogene age is exposed in southeastern and central part. Dykes and sills of Granite area are common in the area trending ENE-WSW to east west. The development of lateritic profile due to weathering of the trap rock in the southern part resulted in the formation of bauxite bodies, Quaternary sediments comprising unconsolidated sand, clay and gravel exposed in the small portion of western and northwestern part of district. The area presents a complex structural history with a number of asymmetrical folds, faults and fractures including probably a thrust affecting all rock formations in the Gondwana coal measure, the preservation of the coal as well as associated sediments is mainly due to trough faulting, en-echelon type of boundary faults between Gondwana and Precambrian rocks are noticed in the coalfields. The prominent structural feature of the Sohagpur basin is the system of ENE - WSW to EW trending sub Parlle faults.

UNITED NATIONS FRAMEWORK CLASSIFICATION (UNFC) OF MINERAL RESERVES AND RESOURCES The UNFC consist of a three dimensional system with following three axes: 1. Geological Assessment 2. Feasibility Assessment 3. Economic Viability The reserve/ resource have been calculated under the Dimension stone parameters. The applied QL area has been sanctioned for block mining of Granite, during the period the applicant has done exploration by one trial pit and one bore hole for avg. 30m and the outcome of exploration has proved that the Granite formation is continued up to the drilled depth in the applied QL area. During the period, the applicant has explored for block mining and the obtained blocks of Granite which are 1m in width and 1-1.5m in length are compact and homogenous in nature. The collected Granite blocks have been put for cutting and polishing. The area has viability for Block Mining and blocks/ slabs are saleable. Under UNFC codification, as the area has not been exposed for its max. depth hence it is considered under F1 feasibility axis and economically it is viable to exploit to sale in the market hence Granite of the area is coming under E1 axis. The obtained blocks have been put under certain engineering tests where geotechnical parameters like compressive strength, flexural strength, polishing index, hardness, water absorption ratio etc. is meeting to Block Mining parameters & market demand. The specific gravity of granite in the applied area comes to be around 2.65 t/ cu.m. Further polishing index is quite good and the polished face of the slab is showing good continuity. The area has been developed with one trial pit and one bore hole and the interpretation under Geological, Feasibility and Economic axis of UNFC has been discussed as under: STRUCTURAL FINDINGS Intrusive form.

The QL area has been explored with one trial pit and one bore hole for dimension stone cutting and the outcome of exploration proved that the entire applied area has been proved for Granite as dimension stone and depth extent has been considered up to MRL 480m i.e. average 30m thick zone of Granite (dimension stone has been considered). The area has not been extensively explored hence present exploration data reveals for 122 category assessment over the QL area of 3.00 ha and depth is considered for 30m (average). The recovery parameter has been assessed from one bore hole and dimension cutting of individual blocks from trial pit and average 15% recovery has been considered over the G2 demarcated area. As recovery has been considered for 15% and waste will be 85% in the form of unsizeable blocks hence for better mineral conservation this OB as interbred can be used as Minor Mineral and due clearance may be obtained under Rules defined in MP MMR 1996.  Feasibility Axis

This is a fresh QL case and feasibility has been established by developing and extracting standard block and in National and International market. The entire area has been explored up to 30m average depth hence the area need to be explored by additional block mining activity hence present carried out studies area of prefeasibility status therefore on UNFC scaling it is considered under prefeasibility status and given feasibility axis under UNFC for the deposit is F=2.  Economic Axis

The basis of prefeasibility study of Blocks of Granite, economic viability of the deposit has been established presently to work out for G2 on undulating topography from MRL 520m to 480m i.e. 30m thick Granite.

CHAPTER - 4 4.0 MINING: a) (1) PROPOSED MINING This is a fresh grant case; proposed mining is the block mining by adopting the Gali Toda method by using help of wire saw, LD-4, jack hammer, Hydraulic Jack, Compressor, Tata Hitachi Shovel excavator and crane. PRINCIPAL OF BLOCK MINING: - 1. Selection of suitable block which has physical quality colour, grain size polish behaviour with the diamond tools and concern block should be without cracks or fractured. 2. The principle of block mining is to get three free faces known as the Gali (along the strike) and the Toda (across the strike). The basic purpose is to prepare the Gali and the Toda is to get proper space for block cutting in L shape (combination of Gali and Toda) therefore first Gali then Toda is developed which is localized for proper functioning of wire saw machine approximately 3 - 6 m space. 3. After getting the L shape vertical and horizontal hole at required depth or height of the bench then making the thread alignment in the rectangular shape the holes are drilled with LD-4 portable DTH drill machine. After getting the bore hole drilled then diamond wire saw machine to cut bottom with diamond pearls followed by both vertical cuts making rock free from all the sides and now this block is pushed with the help of pneumatic bags or water bags with hydraulic jack ‘Power jack’ and cut down blocks are lifting two the surface by crane or pock land machine and waste material is being kept at the required place with the help of dumpers/ tractors. 4. Details of proposed machinery: Following are the proposed machinery likely to be deployed in the area.

REASONS FOR CHOOSING THE WORK SITE AREA: Keeping the scientific approach and applicant’s interest, the area will be developed from one end to another end i.e. in initial phase the northern part will be developed from 514m to 498m with two to three benches of average 2-6m height (See the five year plan). Layout of haulage road: Haulage roads 12-15m wide will be constructed at required places and it will be laid at maximum 1: 16 gradient from surface stack yard to pit bottom at MRL 498m within bye roads to faces of individual benches and additional area covered by proposed road will be 100 m2 in the proposed pit. Benches in Soil/ OB: Avg. 1-1.5m thick lateritic soil cover will be scrapped ahead and one single separate bench will be developed in capping zone as OB zone. Benches in Granite: Three production benches of avg. 6 m avg. height will be developed to achieve the proposed production. Width of benches will be as per DGMS requirements and not less than the height where as Granite bench length will be as per production requirements. Sufficient safe distance will be left from 7.5m barrier zone to ensure safe working. The ROM quantity of Granite from individual bench will depend on presence of block of standard size. Granite recovery: 15% recovery Intercalated waste as OB: Unsized blocks PRODUCTION OUTPUT PLAN This is a fresh grant case. The mining operations are proposed in the northern part of the applied area with two benches. The bench advancement will be east-west while pit advancement will be towards the South, thus during the production phase, the RL will reach down to 498 m. After getting the final sized blocks, it will be loaded in to the trucks and dumpers manually.

Proposed mining operation will be carried out at following locations: (see five year plate) E - 45 TO E - 215 S - 15 TO S - 100 Details of five year working are as follows:

CHAPTER - 5 5.0 BLASTING “As such there is no requirement of blasting in block mining cases”, however sometimes OB is required to be removed with blasting hence essential bottom wire saw cut has been provided, and then blasting is done after drilling so that the area below bottom cut has negligible penetration of vibration affected due to blasting. (A) BROAD BLASTING PARAMETERS: PARAMETERS JACK HAMMER WAGON DRILL Spacing: 1 2 Burden: 1.2 3 Depth of Hole: 1.5 5 Length of cartridge: 200 MM 200 MM Weight of cartridge: 200 GM 200 GM Charge per hole: 1.6 KG (APPROX.) 8 KG (APPROX.) Powder Factor: 7 T/KG 7 T/KG Dia. of hole: 32mm 32 MM 100 MM (B) TYPE OF EXPLOSIVES USED/ TO BE USED (i) Ammonium Nitrate mixture with safety fuse (ii) Ordinary detonator (iii) Gelatine. (C) POWDER FACTOR IN ORE AND OVERBURDEN: - Powder factor in Granite is varying from 5 t/kg to 7 t/kg hence for calculation purpose 7 tonnes per kg of explosive it is taken. Explosive Consumption Powder factor: 7 t/kg Yearly production (AVERAGE): 1575 m3 x 2.65 = 4174 t 80% of excavation: 3339 t Average quantum of explosives to be required yearly = 3339/ 7 = about 477 kg Daily explosive = 477/ 300 = 1.59 say 2.00 kg D) WHETHER SECONDARY BLASTING IS NEEDED:- Secondary blasting will not be needed.

STORAGE OF EXPLOSIVE : It will be stored in a Magazine. PRECAUTION TO BE OBSERVED DURING DRILLING AND BLASTING:- Following precautions will be taken during blasting period. Sufficient warning is given by signal over the entire area falling within the danger zone & it is ensured that all persons within such area have taken proper shelter. Wet drilling is to be done in hand holes as well as jack hammer drilling. Suitable air respirator will be provided to drillers. During blasting, controlled blasting will be done and not more than six holes will be blasted at a time and no hole will be charged with more than 350/ 450 gm of explosives at a time. Muffle blasting will be done to prevent flying fragments, which may cause injury to local inhabitations within danger zone. Muffle blasting will be carried out by keeping sand filled bags on wire net placed on holes. Quality control: - In-spite of the fact that the colour or Granite variation in the production may arise, presently all the grades have good marketing. Any change in proposed method of mining and development of machinery: As discussed earlier, the mining in the area has to be done by semi- mechanized method with following machineries: 1. Drilling by Jackhammer drill/ wagon drill. 2. Disposal of mineral rejects from mining faces to stockyard to dumping yard by trucks & tippers. 3. Supply of drinking water to storage tank near mine faces; from well, by diesel operated pump. 4. Spraying of water on mine roads by water tankers.

CHAPTER - 6 6.0 MINE DRAINAGE: - A) During the proposed mining period, seepage of ground water will not affect the mining working because the depth of ground water is about 40 m, below the surface level of 506 m. Rainwater may get accumulated in to working pit, which will be dewatered using 5 hp diesel operated pump. B) QUANTITY AND QUALITY OF WATER LIKELY TO BE ENCOUNTERED THE PUMPING ARRANGEMENT AND PLACES WHERE THE MINE WATER IS FINALLY PROPOSED TO BE DISCHARGED: During the proposed mining period, seepage of ground water will not affect the mining work because depth of ground water is about 40 m below the surface level. Although some seepage water may interfere, may tectonic reason will be dewatered by pump. Rain water and seepage may get accumulated in to working pit which will be dewatered using 10 hp diesel operated pump having capacity to lift 10,000 lit/ hour with maximum head of 12 to 15 m. The pumped out water will be used for agricultural purpose in the nearby agricultural fields. The discharged water will be passing through the settling tanks, where suspended particles are settled before discharged for agricultural use in surrounding agricultural land.

VII) PUBLIC BUILDINGS, PLACES AND MONUMENTS INCLUDING ARCHAELOGICAL SITES: There are no public building, places and monuments including archaeological sites in and around 500 m radius of the lease area. b) WATER ENVIRONMENT IMPACT OF MINING ON WATER ENVIRONMENT ON FOLLOWING HEADS: I) SURFACE WATER: This is a fresh grant case and from mines open to conceptual period mining activity will not interfere with water bodies and hence there is no chance of toxicity. II) GROUND WATER: Use of water for mining purpose will be around 2KL for workers which will be managed from the lease area. III) WATER QUALITY: From mines open up to conceptual period the proposals are given above GWT and as per information received the ground water level is 40m below the GWT. The collected water during rainy or post monsoon season will be discharged by 5hp pump to nearby agriculture land. In the area there is no water stream course or springs. The Granite is non-toxic in nature and will not affect the ground water quality. c) AIR ENVIRONMENT: (i) Noise (ii) Air (iii) Climatic Condition IMPACT OF MINING ACTIVITY ON AIR ENVIRONMENT SPECIFICALLY ON: a) Dust fall or precipitation rate & b) Respirable free silica It is anticipated that on going the mining activity dust generation will be due to movements of trucks and by mining activity like blasting, drilling, excavation etc. which may pollute the air to some extent but spraying of water on road and faces before blasting and loading will control its generation. While keeping the production limit, nature of mineralization and proposed mining activity, the dust fall during the mining activity will be transitory and under manageable norms by providing the dust masks to the workers and suitable air respiratory to drillers. Further keeping the previous experience there was no as such respirable free silica reported and however in the ensuing year mining activity it is anticipated that with preventive measures there should not be any respirable free silica problem and proposed parameters under air quality survey will take care of such respirable free silica.

A. FACTORS CONTRIBUTING TO AIR POLLUTION As earlier said mining activity dust generation will be due to the movement of trucks and by mining activity, which may pollute the air to some extent but spraying of water on road and bench faces before blasting and loading will control its generation. B. Sources of their generation like, 1. Dust: 1. Traffic & Transport 2. Drilling, blasting 3. Loading, 4. Waste dump This will be contained within permissible limit by spraying water on road and providing avenue plantation. Like adopting wet drilling, using sharp bits and dust collectors providing dust masks to operators, water infusion of benches before and after blasting adopting adequate blasting and drilling parameters and using proper explosive, spraying water on muck pile during loading, water spraying and use of bag filters in screening plantation/ sowing of grass seeds on air borne area. NOISE LEVEL It will be created by movement of trucks/ dumpers drilling & blasting etc. However noise generated by these will be occurring at very low level as it being a small nature of mine working. VIBRATION LEVEL (DUE TO BLASTING) Proposed mining operations will be on moderate scale therefore ground vibration will be on a marginal side. d) SOCIO-ECONOMICS I) SOCIAL AND DEMOGRAPHIC II) OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH AND SAFETY III) HUMAN SETTLEMENT IV) RECREATIONAL FACILITIES There will be no adverse impact of mining but up to some extent socio-economic environment of the area will improve as, the mining activity has already given the job security & job opportunities for the local people. Further the applicant will provide occupational health and safety by providing regular medical checkups and medicine

TREATMENT AND DISPOSAL OF WATER FROM MINE Rain water accumulated if any in the working pit will be pumped out to the surrounding through settling tank to the agricultural fields. 7. MEASURES FOR MINIMIZING ADVERSE EFFECTS ON WATER REGIME No adverse effect on water regime is expected as mining will be on small scale and there is no water body in the surrounding. 8. PROTECTIVE MEASURES FOR GROUND VIBRATIONS/ AIR BLAST CAUSED BY BLASTING Muffle blasting will be done to prevent flying fragments, which may cause injury to local inhabitations within danger zone. Muffle blasting will be carried out by keeping sand filled bags on wire net placed on holes. 9. MEASURES FOR PROTECTING HISTORICAL MONUMENTS AND FOR REHABILITATION OF HUMAN SETTLEMENT LIKELY TO BE DISTURB DUE TO MINING ACTIVITY There is no human settlement or historical monument in 500 m radius of the area, therefore proposed mining will not disturb the human settlement or historical monuments. 10. SOCIO-ECONOMIC BENEFITS ARISING OUT OF MINING. There will be positive effect to some extent on socio-economic environment of the area as mining activity will assure job continuity of already engaged people also it may cause further job opportunities for additional people, which ultimately will improve the financial status of the local people.

MINING PLAN FOR CHOLNA GRANITE DEPOSIT TO BE USED AS DIMENSION STONE, AT VILLAGE CHOLNA, TEHSIL JAITHARI & DISTRICT ANUPPUR (M.P.), AREA 3.00 HECTARES, APPLICANT M/s KISAN EXPORTS, DISTT. ANUPPUR (M.P.) – 484440 minerals are continuing depth wise. If mineral ceases after carried out exploration, then reclamation and rehabilitation will be as per Mining chapter. 13.04.2 WATER QUALITY MANAGEMENT: There are no surface water bodies; the ground water is available in the form of dug well near the applied area. Ground water level is below the conceptual pit depth proposed as per the present knowledge of deposit. After the completion of mining operations in this area the surface water is likely to be contaminated due to wash off from the dust prone area. The same is controlled by adequate plantation before the conceptual period is over. During present PMCP period to conceptual period following steps will be taken for water quality management: 1. There is no surface water body, the water table is quite below the proposed five year and conceptual working, and hence there will be no impact on ground water. 2. Proposal of settling tank: During the rainy or post monsoon season the collected water within the pit will be passing through the settling tanks to settle the suspended heavy particles the clear water will be discharged to agriculture land/ nala. 3. The garland drain will be provided around the dump, whatever washes off from higher altitude area will be further drained through settling tank to suspend heavy particles if any then it will be drained to nearby agriculture field or nala. The granite does not contain any non toxic element which is likely to cause surface/ ground water pollution. Mining operation will not pose any problem to general water table of the area. 13.04.2.1 AIR QUALITY MANAGEMENT: Once the mining operation in this area is over the ambient air can only be polluted by dust raised from the mined out area. As stated above the mined out area will be rehabilitated by bench afforestation and water reservoir. At the end of conceptual period following steps will be taken for air quality management: 1. Adequate plantation. 2. If required then regular sprinkling of water over the dust zone. The proposed mining operations are small hence there will be no such impact on air quality management. 13.04.3 WASTE MANAGEMENT Please refer para 7 b & c.

13.04.4 TOP SOIL MANGEMENT: The top soil generated during the M. Plan period will be dumped in the lease area. 13.04.5 TAILING DAM MANAGEMENT: There is no tailing generation hence tailing dam management is not required. 13.04.6 INFRASTRUCTURE During the plan period, mine office, separate toilet for men and women, and shelter room will be constructed; also first aid facilities will be enhanced. Any decommissioning proposal: No 13.04.7 DISPOSAL OF MINING MACHINERY As such there is no mining machinery. 13.04.8 SAFETY AND SECURITY For mining activity separate watch man will be appointed for security of mine. First aid facility will be provided at mine site. Fencing will be provided around the working pit, which will restrict the fall of animal in to working pit. Entrance of general public will be restricted and can be permitted if necessary with prior permission of manager/ supervisor/ applicant. 13.04.9 DISASTER MANAGEMENT: - High-risk accidents are not anticipated in the area because proposed mining is of small scale. In case of natural disaster such as earthquake, flood, storm etc., as per the situation, applicant will take the assistance from the local competent authority of Govt. and Non - Govt. agency, similarly mines manager will be in touch of local people for immediate amelioration and in the case of flood in the local nala which is between 1-3 km in radial direction, he will take anticipatory care in coordination with State Govt. directives. Further the proper maintenance and replacement of required machineries of working unit will be taken care to avoid the any accidental event. 13.04.10 CARE AND MAINTENANCE DURING TEMPORARY DISCONTINUANCE Special precautions and guidelines will be followed giving by the Central/ State government for unplanned mining operations. Proposed mining is of small scale mine, most of the mining facilities will be adopted on hire basis in such case care will be taken as per the terms and conditions of the contract. During the temporary discontinuous of mining operations, Chowkidar will be appointed for protection of mine site.

13.5 ECONOMIC REPERCUSSION OF CLOSURE OF MINE AND MANPOWER RETRENCHMENTS

Proposed mining is of small scale, most of the mining facilities will be adopted on hire basis in such case care will be taken as per the terms and conditions of the contract. So far the working unit which is on contractual basis will be dealt as per their terms and condition of contract.

13.5.1 Number of local residents employed in the mine, status of the continuation family occupation and scope of joining the occupation:

The number of local residents are proposed to be employed will be around 10-12 from the nearby areas and these local people have already their own traditional and family occupations like agriculture, sundry jobs, having their huts and in future when mine totally closed down due to exhaustion of reserves or other reasons, they can easily join to their respective employments.

13.5.2 Compensating given or to be given to the employees connecting with sustenance of himself and their family members:

For employees the retrenchment compensations to the workers, as and when required will be done as per the Central Labour Legislations applicable to Metalliferrous Mines.

13.5.3 Satellite occupation connected to the mining industry-number of person engaged therein - continuance of such business after mine close:

This is fresh grant case and there is no proposal for closing of mining operation during the plan period or up to lease period. There are other mines also operation in the vicinity of the area. The workers mostly work in seasonal agriculture and hence satellite occupations connected to the mining industry are not considered. Hence, after the mines closes there will not be any adverse effect.

13.5.4 Continued engagement of employees in the rehabilitated status of mining lease area and any other remnant activities:

This is a very little chance of Mining Lease area getting rehabilitated as the land is Government of Madhya Pradesh revenue land.

13.5.5 Envisaged repercussions on the expectation of the society around due to closure of mine:

The employment potential of the mines is small; hence it will have no repercussion or the society around due to closure of mine. While the employment potential remains the same
