SME/UD-Cir/Scheme/UDR/Major/F – 27/14/442 dt. 13-05-2015. (Annexure no.IX). 2.3 Nature of the Project: Mining of Soapstone will be done by open cast Semi Mechanized method of mining. Proposed production of Soapstone is 200000 TPA (ROM). 2.4 Need For The Project And Its Importance To The Country: The Mining project falls in the area of the district Udaipur, Rajasthan devoid of sufficient agriculture activities and other industrial growth. The earning sources of the region are limited. Most of the people are dependent on agriculture. Mineral wealth of the state Rajasthan provides the employment opportunity to the people of the state as well as region also. Mining is one of the major core sector industries which play a crucial role in the process of country economic development. 2.5 Demands-Supply Gap: The soapstone for consumption is reduced to fine powder before use in the industry, and sold to industry in powder form of 200 to 400 mesh size, though major quantity is of 300 mesh. The Soapstone mined out is wholly used in our captive grinding unit plant at Udaipur. Soapstone is used in powdered form in varying particle sizes for uses in pesticides, ceramics, paints, paper, rubber etc., 2.6 Imports vs. Indigenous Production There will be no import for the project. There will be indigenous inputs in the entire mining activity. 2.7 Export Possibility This group of companies is already exporting soapstone to other countries. 2.8 Domestic/Export Markets Lessee would like to sale out the mineral based products in domestic market as per requirement. The Company expect to get export order in future. 2.9 Employment Generation (Direct or Indirect) The mining project will generate direct & indirect employment. About 150 people will get direct employment and 400 people will also be benefitted indirectly and employed with allied and related industries, such as transportation, maintenance, etc. 3.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION 3.1 Type of Project including interlinked and interdependent projects: Mining project for mineral Soapstone. M.L. NO 9/2000. The project is located near village - Chanavada, Tehsil – Girwa and District – Udaipur, Raj. Lease area – 83.491 hect. Proposed production – 200000 TPA (ROM). No Interlinked or Interdependent project. 3.2 Location State : Rajasthan District : Udaipur Tehsil : Girwa Village : Chanavada The entire project area is 83.491 hectares. The lease area is Govt. waste land, Ag. land and diverted Forest land. Google Image of the lease area: TOPOSHEET NO. WITH LATITUDE AND LONGITUDE – The lease area forms a part of Survey of India topo-sheet no. 45 H/11. The lease is located at following latitude and longitudes: Latitude: N 24°16’30” to N 24°17’25” Longitude: E 73°42’38” to E73°43’ 03”. The highest elevation of the lease area is 560 mRL and lowest being 480 mRL. 3.3 Details of Alternate Site Considered and the Basis of Selecting the Proposed Site, Particularly the Environmental Considerations Gone Into Should Be Highlighted: Mining is site specific project and limited to mineralized area. 3.4 Size/Magnitude of Operation: It is proposed to produce Soapstone at 200000 TPA in the plot area of 83.491 hectares by open cast Mechanized method of mining. 3.5 Project Description with process details & Flow diagram Mining project for mineral Soapstone, M.L. NO 9/2000. The project is located near village - Chanavada , Tehsil – Girwa and District – Udaipur, Raj. Lease area – 83.491 hect. Proposed production – 200000 TPA (ROM).

The slope of the benches will be kept at 80° inclination. The benches and haul roads will be at gradient not exceeding 1:16. The benches will be joined by 10 m. wide ramps at gradient not exceeding 1:10. Heavy Earth Moving Machinery will include 0.9 m3 shovels, 20 tonnes capacity dumpers, Dozer etc. BLASTING Deep-hole drilling and blasting will be done for excavating the overburden in hanging wall and foot wall. Soapstone zone is dug by the excavator itself. Interburden, if any, will be excavated by jack-hammer drilling and blasting. Drilling Major chunk of drilling in benches will be done with wagon-drill fitted with DTH hammer. The diameter of the hole drilled is 100 mm. Since the height of benches is 6 m, the depth of drilling will be 6.6 m taking 10% as sub-grade drilling to avoid toe of benches. Spacing and burden will be 3.5 m and 3 m., respectively. Drilling in side burden and secondary blasting will be done by jack-hammers. The holes will be of 36 mm diameter and with a maximum depth of 1.5 m that would meet the requirement of drilling. Spacing and burden of short holes will be 1.0 m and 0.8 m., respectively. Short holes with Jack- hammer will be done for secondary blasting also. Blasting Pattern Blasting is most important job since it dislodges in-situ material and helps to extract overburden and mineral easily. In Chanavada Mine deep-hole blasting is adopted in over burden benches and small diameter hole blasting is adopted in mineralised zone. Details are described below:- Type of Explosive At present, the practice of deep-hole drilling that uses cap-sensitive explosive as base charge and Ammonium Nitrate - Fuel Oil as column charge, has been adopted.
