INTRODUCTION OF THE PROJECT/ BACKGROUND INFORMATION A. Identification of the project and project proponent. Name of Project: - Kaswa Ki Dhani Limestone Mine Near Village- Kaswa Ki Dhani, Tehsil –Merta, District - Nagaur The ultimate proposed rate of production is 0.45 million tonnes per annum. The mining lease area is 93.04 Hectare which is Non Forest Area. There is no National Park/ Sanctuary and National Monument within 10 KM radius of the ML area. Category of Project: Category A The project proponent is private limited firm. Address of the applicant M/s Special Limestone Pvt. Ltd., J-190 MIA Basni, II Phase, Jodhpur -342 005 Rajasthan, India B. Brief Description of Nature of Project The project is for the mining of mineral Limestone (minor mineral). Proposed method of Mining will be semi-mechanized opencast with drilling and blasting. For the systematic working of opencast mines, benching will be done. The height of bench will not be kept more than 6.0m at a time and the width of benches will always be more than the height. Total excavated area 58.25 hectare during the conceptual phase of mine. C. Need for the Project & Importance to the Country The mining project falls in the Merta Tehsil and Nagaur District of Rajasthan. The mineral limestone is proposed to be used for manufacturing of quick lime in the vicinity for applicant’s own plant as well as in open market. The earning sources of the region are limited. Most of the people are dependent on agriculture and mining also on trade & others. The expansion in project will bestow various increased social & economic benefits to the 3 Kaswa Ki Dhani Limestone Mine, Project Proponent: M/s Special Limestone Pvt. Ltd. local communities and improvements in physical and social infrastructure of the area, apart from increased financial benefits to state govt. by way of taxes royalties & tax etc. D. Demand and supply gap The area is having good reserves of limestone. The demand for the minerals has been steadily increasing over the years. Presently these materials have been used for hydrated lime manufacturing purpose. However, major hydrated lime industries has been setup in the area based on limestone. In such backward area, expansion of limestone will grow economic conditions of local so supply of mineral limestone is required to be meet with demand of the product, the prospect of industries is very good. The physical properties of Limestone are: Mineralogy The average quality of entire limestone of the area is given in the table below: - Table: Average chemical analysis of limestone of this area Rock Type Chemical Composition CaO MgO SiO2 Al2O3 Entire Limestone 48.2 – 53.20 0.20 – 2.82 0.05 – 0.07 0.17 – 0.33 Deposit Occurrence Sedimentary origin strata exist in the entire area. Structure: Regional and Local Structure Primary Structure: The colour banding, litho contacts in limestone formations form primary structure. The formations are separated through sharp contacts boundaries with color contact between alternate low grade limestone to high grade limestone and other formations in the area. Secondary Structure: The fault, fold, joint and shear zone etc no seen. Somewhere elephant skin weathering may be seen. E. Export Possibility Since the produced mineral will be absorbed in the quick lime unit to be setup in the area so it will not be exported. F. Domestic/Export Markets The mine is meant for domestic use thus there is no requirement of selling of the mineral in export markets. G. Employment Generation (Direct & Indirect) due to the project Because of expansion in mining proposals, employment generation of the area will be significant. Depending on the requirement of mining work and also as per statutory requirement of acts and rules sufficient supervisory, skilled and unskilled person will be employed at the mine to run the mine systematically and safely to raise the targeted production. 4 Kaswa Ki Dhani Limestone Mine, Project Proponent: M/s Special Limestone Pvt.
