Mapping Drilling Agency/ Location Sampling Remarks Mineral/ Scale Area No. of Meterage Reserves/Resources estimated District (sq km) boreholes GSI Andalusite Sonbhadra Salaidh- - - 3 3 - 3 2 G2 stage investigation for andalusite Harwariya area was taken up in Mahakoshal Group. The rocks of the area of investigation comprise andalusite-bearing phyllite and quartzite of Parsoi Formation, Mahakoshal Group and younger acid and basic intrusives. Andalusite occurs as porphyroblasts having crystals of >2.0 cm length and around 0.7 cm width, even up to 27 cm length within the phyllite and schist. All 33 boreholes (i.e. SAL-1 to SAL-33) drilled showed andalusite mineralisation from surface to 60 m depth. About 2% to 20% andalusite content is observed by visual estimation. Available chemical analyses of 22 core samples and 10 trench samples of andalusite- bearing phyllite indicate high alkali (average 6.2%), high iron (average 6.6%) and low alumina (average 26%). The higher contents of silica, alkali and iron in the samples appear to be contributed by associated country rock, mica and quartz within andalusite crystals. Glauc onite Sonbhadra Kurchha-Barwadih - - 2 1 7 35 .0 4 0 G2 stage investigation taken up in this area 0 8 280.0 blocks were covered by detailed Mapping and scout drilling and Kanachh, 2) to delineate glauconite- bearing mineralis zones in glauconitic sandstone/shale of Vindhyan Supergroup. Twenty-one drill holes (i.e. BH-1 to BH-21) in Barwadih Block and 8 drill holes (i.e. KR-1 to KR-8) Kurchha Block were drilled in 100 m × 100 m grid pattern, each with 35 m average depth. Glauconite mineralisation was observed in coarse- to medium-grained glauconitic sandstone. The volume percentage of glauconite decreases 15-25 m below the surface. On the basis of available

chemical data, K2O content of bedrock samples collected from Patwadh area varies from 1.28% to 6.52% with average 4.35% in glauconitic sandstone.

Gold South-east of - - - - - A G4 Investigation of gold and Sonbhadra Bihwa associated mineralisation was carried out for assessment of gold and associated mineralisation.

Mapping Drilling Agency/ Location Sampling Remarks Mineral/ Scale Area No. of Meterage Reserves/Resources estimated District (sq km) boreholes slate and younger intrusives including quartz veins and dolerite dyke of Agori Formation of the Mahakoshal Group. Generally foliation-parallel quartz veins host sulphide mineralisation. The sulphide mineralisation observed in disseminated form in quartz veins and quartz-carbonate veins intruded phyllite. Sulphide mineralisation is also observed in BIF. Drill core samples of quartz veins contain pyrite, arsenopyrite at various levels in disseminated form. The BIF as banded magnetite chert contains pyrite and arsenopyrite at various levels. The analytical results of bed rock samples, received so far, show gold values ranging from <0.05 ppm to 0.23 ppm in quartz veins, BIF and quartzite. Analytical results of samples of quartz vein exposed in a trench show Au value of 0.23 ppm. The sporadic high values of Cu (i.e. 173 ppm and 195 ppm); sporadic high values of Pb (1,355 ppm and 982 ppm); Zn (207 ppm and 147 ppm) and As (3364 ppm, 2,122 ppm and 1859 ppm from quartz vein, quartzite and BIF) are obtained.

Gyp sum Jhansi & Hamirpur Banda - - - - - G4 stage investigation was carried out alluvium into two blocks, namely Korta block & Purani block. Near Puraini, calcrete- rich clay horizon occurs at 1-2 m depth. Target areas for gypsum investigation had been identified in the clay beds along the Betwa River near Kotra Ghat. Gypsum crystals (selenite) had been collected from south and SSW of Village Puraini. Within Kotra Block, homophanous granite and porphyritic granite are exposed along Betwa river bed. About 10 cm exposed length of clay beds was observed along the river section near Kotra Ghat at two places. These bands contain massive variety of gypsum (alabaster). The Puraini Block consists of mostly flat agricultural land. Gypsum crystals (selenite) were collected from about 800 m south of Puraini and 1200 m SSW of Puraini. Few mm to 6- to 8 cm long selenite crystals were also occur at barren paddy field in scattered manner.

Mapping Drilling Agency/ Location Sampling Remarks Mineral/ Scale Area No. of Meterage Reserves/Resources estimated District (sq km) boreholes Rare Earth Elements Sonbhadra Muirpurd------G4 stage investigation for tungsten Mahuaria and Rare Earth Element was carried area out in this area.The litho-units of the area include biotite granite gneiss, K- feldspar granite gneiss, K-feldspar granite, biotite granite, tourmaline granite, amphibolite, quartz-sericite muscovite schist of the Dudhi Granitoid Complex. The younger intrusives occured in the form of quartz and pegmatite veins. Biotite granite gneiss at Baliari, Nawatola and Laband occur as medium- to coarse-grained, hard, compact, foliated rock with porphyroblastic texture having augen- shaped porphyroblasts of feldspar. The analytical results of 44 samples, received so far from three trenches around Laband, Nawatola, Baliari and Aurahwa areas, showed very high values of total REE ranging from 964 ppm to 4538 ppm. The highest value of 4538 ppm total REE has been recorded from pegmatite vein at Laband area. Columbite crystals have been observed in pegmatite vein.
