Mahadev Metals having its office at Konnanamkadu, Balal post, Anandashram via, Kasaragod, Kerala state and has applied for grant of permission for quarrying Rough Stone. Applicant Details Name and Address M/s. Mahadev Metals Konnanamkadu, Balal post, Anandashram via, Kasaragod, Kerala state. Phone Number 9895021256 Status Partnership Type of Mining Open cast mechanized Period of Mining The period of mining is required for 12 years. 2.2 Identification of Project M/s. Mahadev Metals having its office at Konnanamkadu, Balal post, Anandashram via, Kasaragod, Kerala state has applied for grant of quarry lease to quarry Rough Stone located in Sy. Nos. 113 Pt & 146/4A5 Pt, Balal Village, Vellarikundu Taluk, Kasaragod, District, Kerala. 2.3 Brief description of nature of the project The proposed rough stone quarry project is spread over area of 4.6945 ha. The Geological reserves of rough stone is estimated at 1278514 m³ up to the depth of 47m and the recoverable reserve is estimated as 684508 m³ of rough stone up to a depth of 47 m, leaving necessary safe distance from the site boundary. July 2017 Building stone Quarry by M/s. Mahadev Metals (ML Area 4.6945 ha) at Balal Village, Vellarikundu Taluk, Kasaragod District, Kerala Pre- Feasibility Report 2.3.1 Need for the project and its importance to the country and or region The major need of building stone is due to high compressive strength and durability (among the hardest, dimensional & structural stones) it can effectively withstand the vagaries of nature. Fine-grained granite is employed for ornamental and monumental work as well as for inscription purposes. The mineral-rich colors, and the hardness & density, makes it useful for many applications. The proposed mining project will fulfill its end uses in buildings and construction, bridges, paving, monuments and many other exterior projects. Polished slabs and tiles are used in countertops, flooring, retaining walls and landscaping around a centre fountain/pond, staircase and many other design elements (residential and commercial applications). It is also known as the maintenance-free stone. The mining and associated activities in the mineral bearing areas bring about gains in gross domestic product, i.e. there is though a minor contribution by the proposed project but will add to the gains in G.D.P. (Gross Domestic Product). A total of 18 people will be employed in this mine. It will create employment (though marginally) for local population. 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 infrastructure development and other sectors like health, education and social welfare. Demand - Supply Gap Since it is main raw material in construction project, it is always in demand. So the proposed mining project will fulfill its end users in local market, as it is always in good demand in construction projects. 2.3.2 Imports/Exports Building stone explored from the mines will be used in the local areas in construction activities like roads, buildings and railways. The mineral produced from the proposed July 2017 Building stone Quarry by M/s. Mahadev Metals (ML Area 4.6945 ha) at Balal Village, Vellarikundu Taluk, Kasaragod District, Kerala Pre- Feasibility Report mine will be sent to the crusher plant located near the quarry site for crushing it to required size before dispatching it to the end use. 2.3.3 Export possibility No export business are taken in this Project 2.3.4 Domestic/ export markets The rough stone produced will be sold in local market, which is in turn used for construction purposes. 2.3.5 Employment Generation due to the project Around 18 employees will be engaged in the mines after the expansion and required manpower for mining operation is given in Table 2 .1.
