This will a model and guiding document which is a compendium of available mineral resources, geographical set up, environmental and ecological set up of the district and replenishment of minerals and is based on data of various departments, published reports, journals and websites. 1. Introduction: Jabalpur is one of the central districts of Madhya Pradesh. The tropic of cancer passes through the northern boundary of the district with Katni. The district is stretched in NE-SW direction with maximum length being 120Km along NE-SW direction and the maximum width is about 100 Km along E-W to ENE-WSW direction. It lies between latitudes 22°49′- 23.45°N and longitudes 2 79.20°- 80°37′E. The area of the district is about 5211Km . The district falls in Survey of India Toposheet Nos. 55 M, 64 A and 55 N on 1:250,000 scale. It has an average elevation of 411 M (1348 ft). It is bounded by Katni district in North and NE, Umaria district in East, Damoh district in the West, Narsinghpur district in the North West, Seoni district in the South West, Mandla district in the South and Dindori district in the South East. Administratively it is divided into 4 sub division 7 tahsils and 7 blocks with the district HQ is at Jabalpur city. The city is also having Divisional HQ of Jabalpur Division (Commissioner) comparison of 8 districts namely: Jabalpur, Katni, Mandla, Dindori, Narsinghpur, Balaghat, Chhindwara and Seoni. The principal bench of Madhya Pradesh high court is also at Jabalpur. It also signals H.Q. (Ministry of Defense) of fine states. Besides these, many of the important institutes of Govt. M P and Govt. of India also have these HQ in the district. It is also the station of 5 factories of Ordinance Factory Board (Govt. of India, Ministry of Defense). The city is also an educational hub as there are 5 universities, namely: Rani Durgavati Vishwavidyalaya, Agriculture University, Medical University, Veterinary University and Maharshi Mahesh Yogi University. The district is well connected with other cities of the state and India. The district is traversed by National Highways; NH 7, NH12 and NH 12A.There is a good network of state highways, major and minor district roads and forest roads for the inter district connectivity. The district headquarter is situated on the Itarasi – Allahabad section Broad Guage Line of West Central Railway. Air connectivity is furnished by Dumna Airport and is at about 20 km from the city.

Overview of Mining Activity in the District: Jabalpur district holds a distinct place in the state with respect to strategic geographical position in the state and the availability of mineral resources. The presence of iron ore and dolomite suitable for cutting and polishing is unique. The district possesses sizeable iron ore resources and no. of mining leases are working in Sihora. Panagar and Majholi tahsils and 5 no. of beneficiation units are installed to upgrade the iron ore. Further, dolomite suitable for cutting and polishing are also mined in the district. 172 no. of stone crsher plants are also installed. Many small units are installed for decorative and furnishing products, based on talc, soapstone and marble resources. The pig iron /sponge iron ore plant can be set up based on the iron ore resources, magnesia/magnesium extraction plant can be set up on the dolomite resources, soapstone can be utilized in cosmetics, stone polishing units can be set up on the basis of vast resources of granite and dolomite. Moreso, many small stone crusher units can be installed for road metal, based on vast resources of granite, basalt and sandstone.

Process of Deposition of Sediments in the Rivers of the District: The water action is perhaps the only agency responsible for erosion, transportation and deposition of sand and aggregates in the subcontinental trpoical conditions. The rivers are the most important source of sand in the district. Narmada, Hiran and Gaur rivers are the source of sand and associated aggregates in the district.Narmadais in the juvenile stage in the district, whereasHiran and Gaurriverssmall riverswhich attain mature stage before submerging in Narmada. The passage of these rivers is initially through basaltic terrain, where erosion of country rocks and transportation may be high but may not result in the sand formation.it is the Gondwana and Vindhyan terrains and the areas of alluvial plains which produces bulk quantity of sand and associated aggregates. Thus, geology plays a major role. This, coupled with mineral composition (e.g. Gondwana sandstone; being arkosic sandstone and Vindhyan sandstone and shales being ferruginous and argillaceous and the recent subcompact to loose formations comprising of sandy matter) greatly influence the process of sand formation.Moreover, climatic conditions, waterload and velocity of river and rainfall have a vital role in the entire process of transportation and deposition of sand and associated aggregates. Here gradient of land is an another important factor. The river usually erodes the river base and the banks by hydrualic action and abrasion (corrosion). Heretoo, abrasion is the most important action which involves wearing away of the bank and the bedrock by stream water with the help of sand grains (floating, dragging pebbles and gravels and all such small particles) that are being carried in it. The floating, dragging and rolling depends upon the size and shape. Cavitation is another method of erosion. Air bubbles trapped in the water get compressed into small spaces like cracks in the river’s banks. These bubbles eventually implode creating a small shockwave that weakens the rocks. The shockwaves are very weak but over time the rock will be weakened to the point at which it falls apart. Energy, environment and time are the three factors which determine the process of deposition by streams. Thus, when energy decreases to transport the load ( by reduction in velocity or volume of water), a part of material can no longer be transported and hence deposited. Similarly, the factors of environment influences the deposition through configuration or shape of the channel. Uneven surface of the channel check the velocity and hence cause deposition. The Time factoractually operates through the above two factors. Thus, when a stream would perform the act of deposition may be explained by a statement like “whenever and wherever its velocity is appreciably checked. The deposits that are laid down by running water are called alluvial, fluvial or fluviatile deposits. They all vary greatly in size, shape and mode of origin. Amongst these is first is Alluvial fans and Cones: these are cone shaped accumulations of stream debris that come down from hills or mountains meet a larger streams or valley floor. These are common in hilly terrains and second most important oner in the present context is Flood Plain Deposits which are resultant of some periods of high water levels or flood in a stream during which it overflows its banks and overflows on its sides. These flood waters are invariably heavily loaded with sediments of all typeswhich are eventually deposited over innundated areas. Thus a thick layer of such loads is left after every flood.
