A flow chart depicting the operations is shown below: OPENCAST METHOD DRILLING & BLASTING 32 mm BLAST HOLE. Nitrate Mixture Explosive BENCH FORMATION 5.0 m HEIGHT & 5.0 WIDTH EXCAVATION BY EXCAVATORS LOADING BY EXCAVATORS / LOADERS TRANSPORTATION BY TRUCKS / TIPPERS DESPATCH TO CLIENT / CUSTOMER The quarry is proposed to work with conventional open cast with bench system method with mechanized mode of operation. Based on the mode and method, taking into the consideration of geological parameters of the charnockite body, the quarry pit will be so designed such that the height of the bench is kept about 5.00 m max. 3.2 TOPOGRAPHY Topography of the lease area is hilly terrain with some of the proposed land is covered with native trees, shrubs, herbs bushes etc. Highest elevation of the lease area is 155 M above MSL and lowest is 100 M 14 Building Stone Quarry of Mr. MANOJ KUMAR.K above MSL. The contour map/surface plan of the proposed area is enclosed as Plate No.2. 3.23 REGIONAL GEOLOGY The district can be divided into three geological belts viz., (i) a linear NW-SE trending gneissic belt, along the middle extending from north to south, (ii) a charnockite belt occupying areas in the northeast and south, extending to the adjacent districts and also occurring as pockets within the gneissic terrain and (iii) a narrow coastal belt. Granite gneiss belonging to the Peninsular Gneissic Complex is the oldest unit of the area and occurs north of Alampore. Charnockite belonging to the Charnockite Group has a very wide distribution, especially in the northeast and south with variations like biotite-hypersthene gneiss, biotite- hornblende-hypersthene gneiss and hornblende hypersthene gneiss. Magnetite quartzite, another unit of this group, occurs as narrow linear bodies within charnockite. Hornblende-biotite gneiss of the Migmatite Complex extends from north to south and is well foliated. Garnetiferous quartzo-feldspathic gneiss, another member of Migmatite Complex, occurs as lenses within charnockite, in the east. NW-SE trending dolerite dykes. These dykes are 10-20m wide. Pebble beds occur on the coast and along banks of the Beypore river. The pebble bed is associated with grit and clay and it is lateritised. It comprises well rounded pebbles of quartz, granite, quartzite and granulite. It is considered to be of Pleistocene origin. Sporadic laterite is recorded from the charnockite country to the southwest. Quaternary deposits are of marine and fluvial origin. Periyar Formation is a fluvial deposit comprising an admixture of sand, silt and clay. Guruvayur Formation is a strand line deposit of palaeo-marine origin and mostly comprises medium- to fine sand. Kadappuram Formation represents contemporary marine deposits, constituting the present and barrier beach. 3.2.1 LOCAL GEOLOGY The main rock type in the quarry site is charnockite, consisting of pyroxenes, feldspars, quartz and occasional biotite. Two sets of joints are seen traversing the rocks, often rendering the rock mass as elongated and isometric blocks of different shapes and sizes. As a result, the quarry products cannot be used as blocks of dimension stone. Thin veins of pegmatite are seen intruding the charnockite mass. The upper part of the rock is weathered, giving rise to a thin veneer of soil, thickness of which does not exceed 1.0 m within the quarry site. 3.2.2 GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF FORMATIONS The geological parameters / features of the ore body as obtained from the field mapping and exploration 15 Building Stone Quarry of Mr. MANOJ KUMAR.K studies reveal the following: Length of the ore body : Ranging from 111 to 142 (Avg-126.5) m Width of the ore body : Ranging from 49 to 86 (Avg-67.5) m 3.3 METHOD OF ESTIMATION OF RESERVES The estimation of ore reserves is made by conventional parallel cross section method using geological cross section. The geological cross sections are prepared across the strike of the ore body.
