Brief Description of the Project: Geology: Regional Geology: The district can be divided into three geological belts viz., (i) a linear NW-SE trending gneissic belt, along the middle extending from north to south, (ii) a charnockite belt ..1

Granite Building Stone Quarry of Mr. Santhosh Kumar K.K Pre-feasibility Report occupying areas in the northeast and south, extending to the adjacent districts and also occurring as pockets within the gneissic terrain and (iii) a narrow coastal belt. Granite gneiss belonging to the Peninsular Gneissic Complex is the oldest unit of the area and occurs north of Alampore. Charnockite belonging to the Charnockite Group has a very wide distribution, especially in the northeast and south with variations like biotite- hypersthene gneiss, biotite-hornblende-hypersthene gneiss and hornblende hypersthene gneiss. Magnetite quartzite, another unit of this group, occurs as narrow linear bodies within charnockite. Hornblende-biotite gneiss of the Migmatite Complex extends from north to south and is well foliated. Garnetiferous quartzo- feldspathic gneiss, another member of Migmatite Complex, occurs as lenses within charnockite, in the east. NW- SE trending dolerite dykes. These dykes are 10-20m wide. Pebble beds occur on the coast and along banks of the river. The pebble bed is associated with grit and clay and it is lateritised. It comprises well rounded pebbles of District Survey Report, Kozhikode District, Kerala State 7 quartz, granite, quartzite and granulite. It is considered to be of Pleistocene origin. Sporadic laterite is recorded from the charnockite country to the southwest. Quaternary deposits are of marine and fluvial origin. Periyar Formation is a fluvial deposit comprising an admixture of sand, silt and clay. Guruvayur Formation is a strand line deposit of palaeo-marine origin and mostly comprises medium- to fine sand. Kadappuram Formation represents contemporary marine deposits, constituting the present and barrier beach. The geology of the district given above may be read with the “Geology of Kerala”

II. Brief description of nature of the project The ‘Granite Building Stone Quarry of Mr. Santhosh Kumar K.K, over an extent of 01.760 Ha. (4.349 Acres) is a granite building stone mining project. The granite building stone is the basic rock in this area to be excavated by quarrying. This Granite Building Stone quarry is proposed to be operated by Opencast Semi-Mechanized Quarrying Method. The mechanized operation of quarry shall use excavators, tippers, rock breakers, Jack hammer drilling and blasting. The excavated material shall be crushed in the crushers located outside the quarry permit area. The maximum production capacity proposed in this area is 97,465 tonnes per annum building stone of size 150mm to 250mm. The quarrying operation shall provide 29 direct & equal number of indirect employment to local people. III. Need for the project and its importance to the country and or region. The basic objective of the project is to have effective utilization of granite stone as a building material in this region and state. The spur in infrastructure development and construction industry has enhanced the demand of granite building stone in past few years. Mainly infrastructure projects – like roads, highways, railways, bridges, buildings, township, Port Development, etc., have raised the demand of building material. Building stone quarry not only provides the building material but also employment and economic growth of the region that ultimately enhance the socio-economic status of the people of the region and the state. The mining activities shall provide socio-economic benefits to the local population with direct & indirect employment opportunities. The project also contributes to the regional and financial benefits in the form of Royalty, Cess, Taxes, DMF etc. IV. Demand-Supply Gap . Granite Building stone is an important component of the construction activities for infrastructure development. The demand for granite building stone is increasing along with the increase in infrastructure and construction activities in Kerala. This quarry can produce max 97,465 tonnes of building stone annually and the demand of building stone by various industries can be partly fulfilled by this project. During last few years there is a

..5

Granite Building Stone Quarry of Mr. Santhosh Kumar K.K Pre-feasibility Report sudden increase in the Real estate & Port development activities which has further enhanced the demand for building stone, hence, there is heavy requirement of granite building stone to meet the demand supply chain. V. Imports Vs Indigenous production The requirements of granite building stone in infrastructure industry is huge where as the prices of granite are relatively low. The import or export of the same is not feasible due to heavy transportation cost. The granite building stone of size 150mm to 250mm shall be transported / sold to the crusher outside the quarry Permit, where it shall be sized and sold to the local market for infrastructure development . VI. Export possibility. The price of the granite is very low and the transportation cost is very high. Hence there are no export possibilities of the same. VII. Domestic/Export markets. The granite building stone of size 150mm to 250mm shall be transported / sold to the crusher outside the quarry permit, where it shall be sized and sold to the local market for infrastructure development, real estate builders, contractors, etc. and to the nearby vendors for government infrastructure projects. It is not viable to export this material. However, there is huge demand for the granite building stone in the domestic market. VIII. Employment Generation (Direct and Indirect) due to the project. As per the requirement of Mines Act, Mines manager, Mines Foreman, Mine mates, Blaster, shall be appointed to supervise the quarrying operations. The list of the staff and workmen those shall be employed in the quarry is given below. Sl. No Particulars No’s 1 Highly Skilled 1 2 Skilled 8 3 Semi -skilled 10 4 Un -skilled 10 Total 29

3. PROJECT DESCRIPTION (i) Type of project including interlinked and interdependent projects, if any. The building stone shall be produced by drilling and blasting, the blasted material shall be loaded using excavators and transported to the crushing and screen plant located outside the permit area for reducing it to the sizes acceptable to the market. (ii) Location (map showing general location, specific location, and project boundary & project site layout) with Co-ordinates. The ‘Granite building Stone Quarry of Mr. Santhosh Kumar K.K ' over an area of 1.760 Ha.

Granite Building Stone Quarry of Mr. Santhosh Kumar K.K Pre-feasibility Report 5. PLANNING BRIEF: i. Planning concept (type of industries, facilities, transportation etc) Town and Country planning/ Development authority Classification: This is a granite Building stone mining project. It is proposed to produce maximum 97,465 tonnes building stones per annum. The mined material will be transported by trucks to the crushing & screening plant located outside the quarry permit area by tippers of 10 tonnes capacity. Effective Environment Management will be carried out to control the pollution of Air, Water, Noise and Ground vibration. The Mining Plan for the operations in the quarry permit area is approved by the District Geologist, Department of Mining and Geology, Government of Kerala, Kozhikode. District, Kerala, vide Letter No . DOZ/M-1948/2017 Dated 18.12.2017 .

ii. Population Projection : There will not be any increase in population due to the project. The man power required shall be employed from the local areas. The drivers / truck operators also shall be engaged from local areas. Hence not much influx of population from outside is anticipated. iii. Land use planning (breakup along with green belt etc):

Assessment of Infrastructure demand (physical & social): All the manpower for the project shall be employed from the local area. Thus, there shall not be influx of people into the region; therefore, no increase in the population is envisaged during the period of the operations. The operations are also small scale. Hence, infrastructure demand both in the form of physical and social infrastructure, in terms of physical infrastructure will not be very demanding. However, the project would raise the economic status of the people in the region thus the social infrastructure like education, health and hygiene, sports, etc. would be quite demanding. The company thus commits to support the local community in the field of Health & Hygiene, Basic education, Education of girl child, Sports, renewable energy etc. thereby strengthening the social infrastructure of the region.
