Traverse mapping has Shadol, been covered and different Singroli lithologies were identified and marked all along the traverse lines on map. The lithologies identified were metabasics, BIF/BHQ/BJQ, arkosic quartzite, phyllite, carbonaceous phyllite, dolomite, intraformational conglomerate, basic schist and orthoquartzite. The general trend of rocks in Mahakoshal belt is ENE-WSW to NE-SW with moderate- to steep- dipping beds towards SE. Prominent bands of BIF/BHQ have been demarcated in the study areas that were of high grades and as per result of the analysis the grades ranges

from 25% to 70% of Fe2O3 (chemical analysis of 121 BRS). BIF/BHQ bands have an average thickness of 10-50 m and the haematite band ranges from 2 mm to 5 cm along with quartzite. Iron is present in the form of haematite and goethite ores. Manganese containing BHQ bands was also identified in the field and samples were collected. Sulphides (Contd.)

such as, Parkhuri, Khaddi, Maura,

Chauphal and Lohra may be taken

up to know the extent of BIF/BHQ

bands on large scale and average

grade of iron along with its primary

and secondary enrichment.

Analytical results obtained so far

were studied and graph was plotted

to understand number of samples

falling in low- medium and high-

grade iron ores. The graphs indicate

that major fraction of samples (65-

70 BRS) falls in range of 40-60%

3+ of Fe2O3 and 20-40% of Fe . This means that major portion of samples

yield medium to high grade of iron

rather than low grade. The results

obtained from the samples are from

both banded and brecciated

haematite quartzitic rock. Some of

the samples yielding high

percentage (>60%) of iron are from

secondary-enriched and oxidized

iron bands. The investigation will

be continued in FS 2016-17. (Contd.)

The area falls in parts of Gughara- 10(PS) NE–WSW-trending Mahakoshal belt. Dhanwahi- 10(PCS) Mangeli 10(OS) Agori Formation of Mahakoshal belt Kurro village 1:5,000 is exposed in the area. Phyllite, banded jasper quartzite (BJQ), banded quartzite/brecciated quartzite/cherty quartzite, banded haematite quartzite (BHQ) with manganese at places, quartz vein, laterite capping are the rock types mapped in the area. Banded jasper quartzite (BJQ), banded quartzite/brecciated quartzite/cherty quartzite, and laterite mainly occur as detached isolated patches in the area. Structurally, the area forms a regional syncline and has suffered 3 phases of deformation. The general trend of litho-units is N50°W to N70°E with moderate to steep dip towards northwest and southeast. Bedding (S0) is marked by alternate bands of chert and haematite/ magnetite in BIF and alternate bands of jasper and quartzite in banded quartzite respectively. Haematite layers in BIF range from 1-3 cm alternate with bands of quartzite and chert. In the present work three types of mineralisation have been noticed: Iron ore in the form of BHQ, manganese as a secondary residual deposit and laterite as detached and isolated patches. Two types of iron ore occurrence noticed in the area are: (i) primary and (ii) secondary. Iron ore of primary origin occurs mainly as: (a) Banded Haematite Quartzite (BHQ) in reniform (Kidney) shape is located 1.5 km ESE of Village Marhai, whereas near Mansakra and Silaundi area, iron occurs as secondary deposit in brecciated quartzite and banded jasper quartzite.

Gwalior Gwalior group ----- G3 stage preliminary investigation of rocks (lower has been carried out in this block by Part Subgroup & upper Morar detailed mapping. Gwalior Group of Subgroup) rocks rests over Granite and is exposed in and around Gwalior. It has been divided into a lower Par Subgroup and upper Morar Subgroup. The Par Subgroup is mostly sandstone with minor shale. The Morar Subgroup comprises Navegaon shale, Birauli Formation and Akbarpur Formation. A large sill is intruded into Navegaon and Biraoli fomations. Birauli and Akbarpur formations are overlain by sandstone of Kaimur Group (Vindhyan Supergroup) with an erosional unconformity. In the study area, impure limestone of Akbarpur Formation occurs as discontinuous bed and as interbedded sequence within Birauli Formation as recorded in drill core. Its thickness varies from 5 to 20 m below iron ore-bearing part of Birauli Formation. All the litho units are horizontally to sub- horizontally disposed with NE-SW strike and 2-4° northwesterly dip. Structurally, this area is less disturbed with few faults and joints along with secondary enrichment of iron. Birauli Formation is the main host rock for iron ore and consists of ferruginous shale, green shale, banded haematite chert, jasper and iron ore bands. Iron also occurs as thin bands with impure limestone of Akbarpur Formation. Primary sedimentary structures like bedding, laminations, wavy bedding and ripples are recorded in Gwalior and Vindhyan sediments.

Glauconite Sidhi Khunteli LSM 58 -- 36 Preliminary investigation (G4) has etc. been carried out for delineation of glauconite-bearing strata. The exploration initiated in 2014-15 was taken up for two years. Total 50 BRS, 20 PCS and 15 PS samples have been collected. The results of chemical analysis are highly convincing especially for shale units.

Maximum value of K2O (5.07- 11.52%) was found in alternate sequence of glauconitic shale associated within Fawn Limestone of Bargawan Formation, and hence, considered to be the potential host of glauconite in the target area. Besides, greyish white shale inter- bedded with carbonate band of Arangi Formation also shows potential

values of K2O between 6.24% - 8.23%. Olive (khakhi) shale and thinly laminated intercalated glauconitic shale and sandstone of Basuhari Member of Khenjua Formation also shows encouraging values ranging from 5.17% to 6.4% and 4.26% to 5.16%, respectively. During 2015-16, large scale mapping completed and BRS, PS and PS samples have been collected. Mapping revealed the presence of sandstone, limestone and glauconite- bearing shale all along the southern portion of the area in intercalation with limestone. Glauconitic sandstone was also traced in intercalation with the above Bargawan Formation. The investigation has been completed.

Gold Tikamgarh Gotet - --- 226 G-4 stage investigation for search area of gold and associated mineralisation was taken up with an objective of detailed study of shear zone and its environment for gold and sulphide mineralisation. The mapped area exposes rocks of Bundelkhand Granitic Complex (BGC) which include hornblende granite, medium-grained grey biotite granite, porphyritic biotite granite, coarse-grained biotite granite, medium-grained pink biotite granite and fine grained biotite granite intruded by gabbro, quartz vein/reef and pegmatite veins. Mineralisation is represented either by vein or disseminated type, which includes minerals like pyrite, chalcopyrite, malachite, bornite, covellite and sphalerite. Pronounced sulphide mineralisation is confined within the hornblende- bearing granite, which is controlled by NW-SE and E-W trending shear zone associated with alteration zones. The analysis of bed rock samples so far received reveals Au: <25 ppb; Ag: 1 to 5 ppm (12 samples); Pb: 15 to 400 ppm (29 samples); Cu: 25 to 1800 ppm (31 samples); Zn: 25 to 605 ppm (28 samples); Ni: 15 to 265 ppm (22 samples); Co:10 to 165 ppm (30 samples); As: 1 to 11 ppm (29 samples); Bi: 0.1 to 11.5 ppm (40 samples); Mo: 12 to 1086 ppm (5 samples). The investigation will be continued during FS 2016-17.

PGE Chhindwara Mordongri 1:12500 50 --- G4 stage investigation for search of PGE mineralisation was taken up in this area. The lithology is represented by foliated granite, quartz syenite, different variants of rhyolites (tuffaceous, agglomerates, massive and altered), pillowed and non- pillowed metabasalt, cumulus, non- cumulus amphibolite, gabbro, anorthositic gabbro, basaltic and gabbroic intrusive bands, porphyritic granite and few quartz/ pegmatites veins. Main Mordongri mafic-ultramafic body which shows intrusive contact with tuffaceous rhyolite and has been observed in and around south of Mordongri, Jamtara, Piparia and Jilharighat area. The quartz/granite veins intruded within gabbro and at the contact considerable amount of sulphide (pyrite, chalcopyrite etc.) has been developed. Besides, sulphides of Ni, Cu, Fe and oxides of Ti and Mn, two grains of gold have also been identified by petrography and SEM-EDX studies. Geochemical results are awaited. The project is completed.

Pyrophyllite Chhatarpur Sarkana- 1:12500 100.0 -- 225 G4-preliminary search for Banpura- pyrophyllite & diaspore has Nanagaon been carried out by mapping to delineate & to assess the pyrophyllite/diaspore mineralisation. Pyrophyllite mineralisation observed in the area was closely associated with N20o-35o E plane and at surface its possibility can be inferred on the basis of its association with epidotisation. Its association with this plane also indicates its hydrothermal origin. Development of pyrophyllite as well as sulphide mineralisation seen in the area is related to shearing. Pyrophyllite minerlisation was also noticed in association with NE-SW trending quartz reef around Village Maqbara. Out of 38 BRS, only 4 BRS

indicated encouraging value of Al2O3 which varied from 44.04% to 57.21% and rest of the values are not encouraging. (Contd.)

MECL Base metal Betul Muariya block 1:2000 1.00 07 1659.70 305 Objective of exploration was Amla taluka i) To generate additional sub-surface data of the ore bodies along sections, geometry of the ore bodies as well as their down dip persistency. ii) To augment ore reserves/resources at greater depth by drilling few deeper boreholes along the plunge direction of the ore bodies. iii) To fill up data gap along strike to reduce the interval about 50m over the promising area for enhancing the confidence level of grade & reserves/ resource estimation. iv) To upgrade the earlier estimation of the ore reserves/resources by including addtional data thus generated. The area represents the Bimodal volcano-sedimentary sequence composed of Meta basalt and meta-rhyolites. Impersistent bonds of meta-sediments within the meta-rhyolites play host to the multimetal sulphide mineralisation. Northern band is found out to be associated with sulphide mineralisation while on the other hand the southern one is devoid of any mineralisation. The sulphide mineralisation occurs in the form of sphalerite, chalcopyrite & galena which may be massive, vein & veinlets and disseminated in nature. At some places, fracture filling was also noticed. It is dominantly a zinc deposit with Pb & Cu as asssciated metals. In addition, Cd & Ag concentration to a significant amount (129.79 g/t and 43.63 g.t) respectively were also noticed which make the deposit economcally important. Out of seven lensoidal lodes identified, the main lode & its splits are found to have most sgnificant strike and depth continuity. The total reserves/ resources were estimaed at 1.061 million tonnes with 6% Zn, 1.43% Pb and 0.62% Cu under 332 category. The reserves/resources also include earlier resources estimated by GSI.
