3.0 Total Mineable Reserves and Life of Mine Based on the information obtained from the mapping the area 'proved' category reserves may be estimated from the top to the bottom of the hill. From the base of the proved zone, a 5 m depth is considered for the estimation of the reserves under the 'probable' category and from the base of the probable zone, a 5 m depth is considered for the estimation of the reserves under the 'possible' category. The quality of granite is likely to be the same as one in the proved zone. The reserves are estimated by sectional method. It consists of calculating the area and multiplying it by zone of influence to arrive at the volume. The reserves computed on the basis of the above consideration are given in the table A-2.

(Hence, it is proposed to mine the boulders / sheet by open cast, semi- mechanized methods, by developing the benches of 6 m height in 2 phases of 3 m height). Wire Saw cutting will be deployed based on the favorable conditions. The development of benches in the sheet rock will be maintained @ 60° safety slopes. The separation of blocks from the mother rock will be carried out by drilling, wedge cutting, blasting; excavation will be done by the machinery. The secondary splitting, dressing of blocks will be done manually. Therefore, mining operations are to be carried out in this area in 2 stages. i. Development ii. Production 5.0 List of Machinery

ANNEXURE – IV Solid Wastes Generation and Management Plan During the five years period the total quantity of waste likely to be generated is 31500 m3. It consists of granite blocks of various sizes, shapes and dimension. Soil component will be minimal but will be stacked separately from the mine waste. Table A-5 Solid waste generated Year Wastage @ 70 % (m 3) 1st Year 6300 2nd Year 6300 3rd Year 6300 4th Year 6300 5th Year 6300 Total 31500

Dump Area The waste generated during plan period will be dumped within the quarry lease covering an area of 1050 m2 with an average height of 30 m with 45° slope angle will be formed. By the end of lease period about 3150 m 2 of area will be utilized for dumping. A retaining wall will be constructed around the dump for preventing the slanting of boulders.
