Details of Lease: The lease deed for the 1st term was executed on 04/02/1975 over an area of 405.000 ha. for a period of 20 years. The 1st lease term had expired on 03/02/1995 and the 1st renewal of Kadadiha China Clay Mines was granted by the Govt. of Odisha on 22/06/1998 and the RML was executed on 21/08/1998 over an area of 367.058 ha. w.e.f 04/02/1995 for 20 years. Then the RML 1 was valid till 03/02/2015. Before the expiry of the RML 1, lessee applied for 2nd renewal on dated 31/01/2014. In the changed scenario, w.r.t. the clause no. 8A(5) of MMDR Amendment Act 2015 the lease is valid up to 31/03/2030. Mining Plan and Scheme of mining: The Mining Plan was initially approved for production of Crude China Clay of 19,269 MTPA by the IBM, Calcutta vide letter no. CAL/MBJ/CC/MP-347 dated 01/05/1995 and was valid for the renewal lease period i.e. till 03/02/2015. During the said period the maximum production of crude china clay was 13963 MT in the year 1988-89 against scheduled production of 19,269 MTPA . Page 1 of 5

The modification to the said approved mining plan for production of Crude China Clay of 49,449.4 MTPA was re-approved on 08/07/2010 vide letter no. MPM/OTF.MECH/05-ORI/BHU/2010-11. The scheme of mining was then approved on 09/07/2010 vide letter no. MS/OTF.MECH/11-ORI/BHU/2010-11 with detail planning for the period from 2010-11 to 2014-15. At present the mining plan is being prepared and approved for production of Crude China Clay of 3,02,931 MTPA (Maximum in five year Plan Period) along with existing beneficiation plant on 28/03/2017 vide letter no.,MXII-(b)- 81/2015/2028/DM, Odisha under Rule 22 (I) of Odisha Minor Mineral Concession Rules 2016 to cover the extension lease period in accordance to the Mines and minerals (Development & Regulations) Amendment Act 2015 whereby, the leased period would be extended. Surface Right Area: Out of the total lease area, surface right is for 29.809 ha. which has been granted in two phases. In 1st phase, 14.180 ha on 04/04/1991 and in 2nd phase for 15.629 ha. on 02/06/2009. Mining Operation: The mine started operation in 1975. On dtd. 03/04/2012 operation was suspended by the instruction of the Mining Officer, . Presently the said mine is not operational. Need for the Project: The lessee will be supplying china clay produced from this mine to mostly domestic consumers. The lessee also has plan to explore the international market. Mining (Excavation/Raising of Mineral) : In the proposed plan period (first five years of Plan Period after obtaining EC and Execution of the Lease as per Amended MMDR 2015) a quantity of about 3,02,931 MT/Yr of raw china clay has been proposed for production. To achieve the required production target, semi mechanised open cast mining with single shift operation and with additional mining equipment and manpower shall be adopted. In the proposed mining plan period only existing quarry-1 has been proposed for development. The height of the benches shall be 3 meter and width shall be maintained at more than 3 meters. The individual bench faces will be maintained at a slope of around 600-700. Mining machineries like excavators, tippers/dumpers will be utilised for the purpose. As the china clay is soft in nature, no drilling and blasting will be adopted in the lease area. The ore body will be loosened only using excavators. Laborers will be deployed on the face for excavation and loading purpose. Equipments like crowbar, pickaxe, spade, chisel, hand shovel etc, will also be used. The ROM crude china clay will be beneficiated at lessee’s own plant. The recovery of crude china clay has been considered as 95 % of the total excavation. After beneficiation finished saleable china clay will be produced which is around 45% of total recovered clay and silica sand of around 40% of total recovered clay will be generated and 15% will be loss during washing. The produced silica sand which will be salable will be stacked separately for its commercial value. The haul road used for movement of machineries and for transportation will be maintained at suitable gradient. Inter-bench ramp has been planned to facilitate movement of equipments. Width of proposed inter bench ramp will be laid at a gradient of 1 in 16. Approach road of 10 m width at a gradient of 1 in 16 will be maintained to the proposed dumping site. The approach roads & ramps along with main access road will be regularly graded & compacted to avoid formation of pot holes. The production target is required to make mining feasible in the lease area. Excavator of capacity 0.9 CUM and 10T/20T tonne capacity dumpers will be engaged for excavation and transportation of china clay. Waste generated from the quarry will be stacked on the proposed dump. All the mining activities like excavation, loading and transportation will be carried out by using heavy earth moving machineries. Keeping in view the above aspect the proposed method of mining justifies being semi mechanised. Requirement of Water and Its Source: Both Surface water from rain water harvesting pond and Ground water from mine pit will be used for dust suppression and plantation. Ground water through Deep Bore well will be used for potable use only. Average water requirement at Kadadiha china clay mine for industrial and domestic use will be to the tune of 65 m3/day and 20 m3/day respectively. Peak water requirement at Kadadiha china clay for domestic and industrial use will be to the tune of 25 m3/day and 75 m3/day respectively. Permission from CGWA will be obtained for drawl of ground water for potable use.

Requirement of Energy / Power and Its Source: 01 (One) number of 50 KVA capacity (Make: Greaves Limited) D. G Set and 01 (One) number of 82.5 KVA capacity (Make: Kirloskar) DG set will be used for running of Plants & Machineries of Beneficiation Plant during power failure. For general lightings, office and Beneficiation plan, the requirement of power is 68 KW. Presently it is sourced from NESCO, , Odisha. HSD/Diesel will be used and sourced from local market. Employment: Total requirement of employment is 188 numbers. Out of them, 18 numbers are Management & Supervisory Personnel category and 170 numbers are Labourers (Skilled/Semi-skilled/Un-skilled) categories.

Waste generation and management: During the plan period, 76,339 m3 of OB, 29,964 m3 of IB, 86,567 m3 of top soil and 6,03,446 m3 of silica sand will be generated. The total swell volume of waste will be 8,67,3336 m3.

From the generated waste 1,06,303 m3 of OB & IB will be dumped in the propsed dump. Silica sand has been proposed to be stored separately and would be sold to intending buyers. The ultimate dump slope will be maintained at 200-220 with individual terraces slopes not exceeding 370. The individual terrace heights will be maintained at 10 m. Each terrace will have inward slope with catch drains at the inward side of the terrace. The catch drains of the individual terrace will be connected to the garland drain outside the periphery of the dump. These catch drains will have half concrete open pipes followed by settling tanks to avoid wash offs. Each terrace will have a provision of berm at the outer end to reduce gully formation due to rain water wash offs. The retaining wall will be made to arrest the waste dump materials for consolidation. Garland drains will be paved around the dump to arrest possible wash off in rainy season. Lemon grass/plant species will be paved in the dump slope, which will hold the materials in its fibrous and spread over roots to protect wash off in the rainy seasons. Life of the mine: The mineable reserve of china clay in the lease area is 125,54,846 MT or 12.55 million Ton. In the proposed plan period 15,08,665 MT will be exploited. After this plan period 110,46,181 MT china clay will be left. Keeping in view the production of china clay @3,02,931 MT per annum, life of the mine will be 36.46 years or say 37 years. So total life of the mine will be 42 years including this plan period. However, addition of more reserve through exploration will certainly increase the life of the mine.
