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

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.

The details of the loading equipments are shown in section 6.5 of Mining plan. Transportation Transport of rejects and waste shall be done by Tippers of 10 Tonnes capacity as shown in section 6.5 of Mining plan.

3.5.1.2 Opencast Mining

The mining will be done by open cast mechanized method of mining. The bench height and width will be 5m. Shovel dumper combination is used for mucking, loading and hauling to the disposal points. Excavated material is conveyed to the stone crusher located inside the quarry site for further processing. The ultimate depth of the mine workings is estimated to reach up to 47 m.

3.5.1.3 Salient features of Mining Method

The proposed mining operations will be carried out by open cast mechanized method. The salient features of proposed mining methods are listed below:

 The height and width of the bench will be maintained at 5m.  The exploitation of mineral is being done is being done in average depth of 47 m at conceptual phase  Considering the stability of rocks the final slope or say ultimate pit slope is proposed 60˚ from vertical  Haul road will be developed up to point of loading  Transportation of the mineral from pit-mouth to destination will be by tippers /trucks (10 MT Capacity)

3.7.2 Mode of Working

Open cast mechanized mining using Hydraulic excavators and tippers combination will be adopted to recover the sizeable rough lumps for crushing into required size in the crushing plant from 75mm jelly to 10mm chips. The economical depth of mining is

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 taken as 47m. Little amount of overburden weathered materials and bushes shall be removed prior to development of working benches.

3.7.2.1 Bench design parameters and fencing

While developing a top soil bench, a height of 5m and width not less than the height. The rough stone working benches shall be 5m height as equal to the height of the excavator boom and width more than 5m for safe movement of machineries and slope shall not be more than 60°. The proposed bench dimensions are shown in section 6.7 of Mining plan. S2 fencing (without closing or gate) shall be constructed at the top of high benches from inadvertent entry of persons or cattle fields. In case of road closing or entry of pit G1 fencing (parapet) should be formed as a safe practice to control tress passes.

3.7.3 Proposed Bench Height and Width

As per Reg.106 (2) (b) of MMR,1961, the bench height is designed as 5m and width as 5m but in the case of non – moving permanent stable benches the width shall be less than 5m due to lack of space for development. The bench height is designed equal to height of boom of the excavator. In this connection, the applicant should obtain necessary permission from DGMS whenever he deviates from the standard norms of bench design.

3.8 Conceptual Mining Plan

The applied area is having building stone throughout the area. As estimated in section 5.3, the geological reserves are about 1278514 m3. After detecting the minerals locked in mines safety slope, the Total mineable reserves are arrived to be 720535 m³. It is estimated that peak production of 112138 m³ will be achieved at second year. Under reclamation it is anticipated to undertake plantation at high levels in the applied area. Anticipating 80% growth rate, at the end of 12 years about 1000 trees/hectares will be grown.

3.9 Raw material required along with estimated quantity

No raw material is required; project is for mining of rough stone. The extracted rough stone shall be sent to the crusher through tippers and from there to end uses.

3.10 Resource optimization/recycling and reuse envisaged in the project

Wastes and rough stones for crushing will be removed periodically by hydraulic excavator and tipper combination. Charnockite rejects which amounts to 5% of the total excavation; about 21318 m3 will be generated. The ultimate depth of mining and ultimate pit configuration is shown in section 6.7 of the mining plan.

All rejects\wastes shall be dumped within the lease hold area as shown in Plate-VII of the mining plan. The rough stones will be conveyed to the crushing unit which is presented near the site boundary itself. i) Availability of water its source, energy/power requirement:

Water requirement for the project is mainly for maintaining the Domestic, Drinking Purpose, green belt and also for sprinkling on the haulage roads to mitigate dust emissions. Total water required for the mine will be met from nearest open wells and rain water harvesting reservoirs. The power supply is not required as crusher is not proposed in the quarry site, in other ways mining operation will be carried out only in day time.
