Granite Building Stone Quarry of M/S National Granite & Hollow Bricks in Vayathur Village, Iritty Taluk, Kannur District – Extent 2.5700 Ha PRE-FEASIBILTY REPORT 1.0 INTRODUCTION OF THE MINING ACTIVITY Mr. Mohammed Nazeer K. M for M/S National Granite & Hollow Bricks is proposing a Building Granite Stone Quarry with Lease at Survey No.28/1A2 part of Vayathoor Village, Iritty(old Thaliparamba) Taluk, Kannur District, Kerala in an extent area of 2.5700 hectares. The proposed quarry area is dry private land. This is an operational quarry with lease. In most part of the quarry lease area the rock are exposed and also the granite (buil ding stone) exposures are present / bordering to the lease boundary proving the occurrence of the granite building stone. The proposed quarry area is located at Peratta, 60 km from Kannur and 15 km from Iritty. Part of the proposed land is already under m ining and there is no vegetation in that area. The remaining land in the proposed land is mostly covered with native trees, shrubs, herbs, grass, climbers, bushes etc. The highest elevation of the lease area is 210 m MSL and lowest is 170 m MSL. As the proposed area is hill rock, the drainage of the lease area is towards S & W. No habitants are located in the lease area. Old pits lies in the lease area are marked on surface plan. The geological resources of granite building stone in mining lease area are estimate to be 36,71,436 Tonns. In the first five years of plan period total 668474 Tons granite building stone shall be quarried/mined. The balance mineral reserves and part of blocked resources shall be quarried after modifying the bench design in next five year period. Kerala experiences rainfall on duration of 3 to 4 months in a year and that is why the quarry operations will be affected by these rainy days. The anticipated life of the quarry is 12 years expected. 1.1 LOCATION OF THE PROPOSED PROJECT The proposed quarry area is located at Peratta , 60 km from Kannur and 15 km from Iritty. Part Granite Building Stone Quarry of M/S National Granite & Hollow Bricks in Vayathur Village, Iritty Taluk, Kannur District – Extent 2.5700 Ha of the proposed land is already under mining and there is no vegetation in that area. The remaining land in the proposed land is mostly covered with native trees, shrubs, herbs, grass, climbers, bushes etc. The highest elevation of the lease area is 210 m MSL and lowest is 170 m MSL.

M. (Managing Partner) of the Applicant M/s National Granite & Hollow Bricks #367, Ward no-6, Peratta, Ulickal, Koothupuzha.P.O, Kannur District, Kerala, India, 670706 Ph No. : 09447020706 [email protected] 1.3 NEED FOR THE PROJECT AND ITS IMPORTANCE TO THE COUNTRY OR REGION The major essentiality of building stone is based on its extraordinary compressive strength and durability (among the hardest, dimensional & structural stones) and it is having high tolerance towards the vagaries of nature. In construction activities these are being used because of its hardness & density, durability and strength craft. The proposed mining project will accomplish its requirement for the construction of buildings, bridges, paving, monuments and many other exterior projects. Polished slabs and tiles are usually used in countertops, flooring, retaining walls and landscaping around a center fountain/ pond, staircase and many other design elements (residential and commercial applications). It is also known as the maintenance-free stone. Granite Building Stone Quarry of M/S National Granite & Hollow Bricks in Vayathur Village, Iritty Taluk, Kannur District – Extent 2.5700 Ha The employment opportunities are being created in connecting with the quarrying activities and the local people are being employed for the non technical activities under the direction of mining engineers and supervisors. These quarry operations more than 11 employees are being deployed which generates ample opportunities for those peoples indirectly. Applicant will pay royalty for the mineral produced from the mine, direct and indirect taxes will be paid thereby contributing to the regional revenue. The public revenue will further be put for infrastructural development and other sectors like health, education and social welfare. 1.4 END USE (DOMESTIC/ EXPORT MARKET) The rock extracted from the quarry is transported to the Crusher/M Sand unit owned by the project proponen t located within land owned by the project proponent. The aggregate produced is sold to the contractors and to the consumers which is finally consumed for road (State Highway & National Highway) & building construction works. Fine Material is also sold for the utilization for the hollow block/ solid block manufactures. 2.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION 2.1 SALIENT FEATURES & ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING OF THE PROJECT Particulars Details Total Mine Lease area 2.5700 hectares Total area owned by the Private Patta Land owned by the Project proponent Proponent Current status of the Operational Quarry quarry Local name of the project Peratta near Iritty area (Name of the hill) Production The geological resources of granite building stone in mining lease area is est imate to be Granite Building Stone Quarry of M/S National Granite & Hollow Bricks in Vayathur Village, Iritty Taluk, Kannur District – Extent 2.5700 Ha 36,71,437 tons and production / mineable reserves are 8,91,214 Tons.
