GEOLOGY AND MINERAL RESERVES 3.1 Brief Description of the Topography: Topography and general Geology of the area (with The lease applied area Manamedu plans) Thenpennai River sand Quarry with 12m above MSL. It is represented in the survey of India Toposheet No. C44 B9 and lies at Latitude 110 47’ 51.02’’N to 110 48’ 03.32’’N and longitude 790 40’ 43.40”E to 790 40’ 55.46”E. The lease applied area is containing accumulated River sand by work of stream deposit below 1.5 m from the River bed. The area receives 1316 mm rainfall mostly northeast monsoon period of October to December. The ground water level is 6 m. There is no reserve forest wildlife sanctuary, National monument etc., near area. The surface Geological CS & LS of the Thenpennai river bed of the above area taken into account in the plate No. 3 3.2 Details of Exploration The area was personally examined by the Already carried out if any geologist who prepared the mining plan with Auger drilling and estimated the average depth of sand availability fetches to 390m X 135m X 1.5m = 78,975m3. The River Sand is an Recent sedimentary deposit formed by work of stream and it can be confirmed by physical visualize. (Ref. Plate No.3) 6 3.3 Estimation of reserves a) Geological reserves The geological and mineral reserves of River with geological sand has been computed by taking standard sections on a scale of method of cross section and LS influence for 1 : 1000 determining the volume of River sand occurrence in this area average level of 1.5 m form the top River bed. The estimated Geological reserves from total Proposed area fetches to i) (AA’&BB’)390m x 135m x 1.5m = 78,975m3 Total Geological Reserves = 78,975m3 (Ref. Surface and Geological plan and section plate No. 3) b) Recoverable Reserve The recoverable reserves of the proposed River sand to a depth of 0.6m from the top level of the river bed, by computing the CS & LS it fetches to i) (XX’YY’)390m X135m X 0.6m= 31,590 m3 Total R.R = 31,590 m3 ( Ref.
