S.O.3611 (E) NEW DELHI dated 25-07-2018 the preparation of district survey report of river sand mining has been prepared in accordance with Clause II of Appendix X of the notification. Every effort has been made to cover river sand mining locations, future potential areas and overview of sand mining activities in the district with all its relevant features pertaining to geology and mineral wealth. This report will act as a compendium of available mineral resources, geological set up, environmental and ecological set up of the district and based on data of various departments like Revenue, Water Resources, Forest, Geology and Mining in the district as well as statistical data uploaded by various state Government departments for preparation for district survey report. The main purpose of preparation of District Survey Report is to identify the mineral resources and developing the mining activities along with other relevant data of the District. 1. INTRODUCTION Gajapati district has been named after Maharaja Sri Krushna Chandra Gajapati Narayan Deo, the Ex–Raja Sahib of Paralakhemundi estate (the 1st Prime Minister of Odisha State), who is remembered for his contribution in formation of a separate Odisha province and inclusion of Paralakhemundi estate in Odisha. It got a district status on 2nd October 1992 after bifurcated from Ganjam district. It was Parlakhemundi sub-division in Ganjam and yet it is only sub-division in Gajapati. The history of Gajapati district still echoes the long gone days of the history of Gajapati rulers in the district. The historical documents of the Gajapati district are accounted from the time when Krushna Chandra Gajapati Narayan Deo ascended the throne. The king of Paralakhemundi, Shri Krushna Chandra Gajapati Narayan Deo had the kingship of the majestic Gajapati rulers, who continued to be the supreme authority of Odisha for more than seven centuries. The boundary of Odisha, during that time was extended from the Ganga in the North to Udoyagiri in Nellore District in the South including the entire district of Ganjam. When Kolahomee, one of the sons of Kapilendra Deo, at the later half of the 15th century conquered this part of Odisha, he 1 installed the kingdom and the Raj family of Paralakhemundi. As the past history of Gajapati relates, Paralakhemundi was a zamindary estate at that time, situated at the western nook of the southernmost part of the Ganjam district. At that time the Maliya tribals dominated the land. There are many historical monuments and places those reveal the historical touch of the district. Tomb of the Royal family, B.N Palace, Serango, Mahendragiri, Jeerango etc are some monuments and places in the district famous for their historical importance. 2. OVERVIEW OF MINING ACTIVITIES IN THE DISTRICT. MINERALS: The districts hosts a variety of mineral occurrences which include Calc-tuffa, Chinaclay, Mica, Lime kankar, Quartz and feldspars, Red ochre, Pegmatite and Dimension/decorative stones. Brief description of the mineral occurrences is given below. Chinaclay: An occurrence of Chinaclay has been reported near Jhinjhira over an area of 200m X 100 m with thickness varying from 2m to 6 m. The chemical analysis indicates the Al2O3 varying from 6.47% to 14.73%, Fe2O3 from 1.97% to 3.59% and CaO from 0.58% to 1.15%. Calc-tuffa: At a distance of about 1.5 km SE of Nuagada an occurrence of Calc-tuffa has been reported. Another occurrence of Calc-Tufa is also found around North of Hatimunda. Mica: Muscovite micas associated with pegmatite have been located near Tumbagaon Ranikhoma, Ladrimi near Mohana, Samaraisingi Badaraisingi, Jamuguda and Adaba etc. having maximum book size of 200m X 50m X 3cm. Mostly these are stained and cracked and are not large enough to be workable. 2 Lime Kankar: About1 km south of Rakeshpanka village near Durbankula nallah ,a small patch of lime kankar has been marked. On analysis, the percentage of CaO is 44% and Silica is 9%. Total recovery may be of 10,000 cu.m Quartz & Feldspar: There are some zoned pegmatite occurrences around Koinpur, Mohana etc. where quartz core and feldspars have been encountered. The quartz analyses to be 98.2% of SiO2. The important localities are Tumbagaon, Koinpur, Baligonda Mohana, Uparsahi Ranikhoma etc. Red Ochre: At a distance of about 1 km East of Hajipanga, an occurrence of red ochre is reported. The chemical analysis indicates the Fe2O3 content of 17.61 to 18.63% and Al2O3 14.90 to 31.11%. Dimension stone: Keeping in view the features like colour, consistency, homogeneity in grain size, joint spacing, outcrop dimension and easy accessibility about 20 potential occurrences of dimension/decorative stones are located in the district around Antarba, Jamurhiha, Poibandha, Khariguma, Bariabandha, Dengama, Kandha, Adaba-I, Kandha, Adaba-II, Narayanpur, Khariguda-I, Khariguda-II, Mandimera and Burhanali,around Laaxmipur, Venkatpuram, D.Jeypur, Jhinjiriguda, Kharia, Budhanala,Gududum etc.They usually consist of the rock types comprising granite gneiss, garnetiferous granite gneiss and garnetiferous augen gneiss. The reserve of Dimension stone of Gajapati district is about 70.85 lakh cubic meters. Besides above deposits, the dimension/decorative stones in the district are also reported around hills to the north of Mohana and the hills near Adaba. Other than the above mentioned minerals, minor minerals such as river sand, laterite slabs, building stone/black stone/road metals, morrum, brick earth etc. are also available in the district. 3.

PROCESS OF DEPOSIT OF SEDIMENTS IN THE RIVERS Gajapati district comes under north Eastern Ghats agro climate and type of terrain is mostly undulating. The river Vansadhara along with its tributaries controls the overall draiange of the district. The important tributaries of river Vansadhara are Harabhangi, Badanadi, Mahendratanaya etc are mostly sesonal in nature. During rainy season the river water carries sand which is formed due to disintegration of rock bodies along with other suspensions. After recession of the water flow the sand gets deposited in the locations where there is less energy. 7. GENERAL PROFILE a.
