2. INTRODUCTION OF THE PROJECT/BACKGROUND INFORMATION 2.1 Identification of Project and Project Proponent Malpahari Stone Mining Project (Plot No.: 226; Khata no. 74 ) is situated near village Malpahari Police Station Pakur, District Pakur, State Jharkhand over 3

Malpahari Stone Mning Project, Pre-feasibility Report District Pakur, Jharkhand an area of 5.93 Ha. The mining lease granted in favour of M/S Madhucon Projects Ltd. Shri N. Ramesh, GM, R/o- Road no 36, High Tech City, Jubilee Hills, Hyderabad 500003 The Mining Lease Deed has been executed by Agreement on 18.03.2011 between Deputy Commissioner, Dumka as first party and M/S Madhucon Projects Ltd. through Shri N. Ramesh, GM The deed has been registered on 02.04.2011 in the court of Registrar, Pakur. The proposed rate of production is 120859.59 Tonnes of Masonary Stone. The estimated project cost is Rs. 25 lakhs. The expected life of mine is 8.52 years. The life of mine may change depending upon the prospecting results, rate of production and the extent of mechanization done by the lessee in future. 2.2 Brief Information about the Project The project has been proposed for mining of 120859.59 Tonnes of Masonary Stone by opencast Mechanized method. The mine lease area is 5.93 ha. The expected life of the mine is 8.52 years. 2.3 Need for the Project and Its Importance to the Country or Region The mining project falls in the village- Malpahari Police Station Pakur, District Pakur, State Jharkhand, and the area is devoid of industrial growth. The earning sources of the region are limited. Most of the people are dependent on agriculture. Mineral wealth of the state 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. The mineral Masonary Stone finds extensive use in the construction and infrastructural works. The basic objective of the project is the effective utilization of material in the country or region. Masonary Stone is the world's most commonly used material used in making of road, railway track construction etc. Masonary Stone will help in the economic growth of the country or region. Masonary is commonly used for the construction of walls of buildings, retaining walls and buildings. Brick and concrete block are the most common

Malpahari Stone Mning Project, Pre-feasibility Report District Pakur, Jharkhand types of Masonary which is used in industrialized nations and may be either weight-bearing or a veneer. Concrete blocks, especially those with hollow cores, offer various possibilities in Masonary construction. They generally provide great compressive strength, and are best suited to structures with light transverse loading when the cores remain unfilled. Filling some or all of the cores with concrete or concrete with steel reinforcement (typically rebar) offers much greater tensile and lateral strength to structures. Advantages:  The use of material such as bricks and stones can increase the thermal mass of a building and can protect the building from fire.  Most types of Masonary typically will not require painting and so it can provide a structure with reduced life-cycle costs.  Masonary is non-combustible product.  Masonary walls are more resistant to projectiles, such as debris from hurricanes or tornadoes.  Masonary structures built in compression preferably with lime mortar can have a useful life of more than 500 years as compared to 30 to 100 for structures of steel or reinforced concrete. 2.4 Demands-Supply Gap There is large demand of Masonary stone for road, railway track, building construction etc. 2.5 Imports vs. Indigenous Production Development needs will be met only through indigenous produced Masonary stone against the high cost of imported material. 2.6 Export Possibility Project Proponent would like to sale out the mineral in domestic market only. 2.7 Domestic/ Export Markets Project Proponent would like to sale out in domestic market as per requirement. No export is proposed. 2.8 Employment Generation

The area falls in G.T. sheet No. 72 P/14. The topography of the area is predominantly undulating with hard rocks. The entire area has topography with small ridges and undulating terrain with rocky outgrowths. The fertility of

Malpahari Stone Mning Project, Pre-feasibility Report District Pakur, Jharkhand soil is poor due to extensive erosion, Basic character and low retaining capacity with granular textured stone distributed all over the region. Hilly areas consist mainly hard rock i.e. Rajmahal Traps. It is having undulating topography and slope from east to west. The entire lease area is under revenue category (industrial land). A part of the area is under mining operation. No seasonal stream or water regime is seen in this area and presence of faults and major fractures are seen in regional area. In the area joints are well exposed. The climate is tropical and is fairly hot during summer.

Vegetation: The mining lease area is free from any type of vegetation only few bushes are present nearby mining lease area. But no tree is reported within the Lease area. 3.5.1 Regional Geology: During the Cretaceous period the Eastern Gondwana has witnessed two prominent volcanic episodes, one in the early cretaceous (Rajmahal –Bengal, Sylhet volcanism at 115 -118 Ma). There were other volcanic provinces during this time in other parts of the world as well. The Sylhet volcanism could be polycentred, coeval, extending between Sylhet and Rajmahal, like that of Satpura – Narmada – Tapti province of Deccan volcanism. Moreover in the Cretaceous stratigraphic sequence of Bangladesh (South of Meghalaya) volcanic tuff and conglomerates are recorded at many levels. Rajmahal Basin The Rajmahal Hills, situated in the north eastern part of the Jharkhand State, preserves Gondwana formations comprising Talchir, Barakar and Dubrajpur Formations. These are overlain by the Rajmahal Formation made up of a series of basaltic lava flows and associated intertrappen beds. The Durgapur beds correlateble to the Dubrajpur Formation shows wide aerial extent in Damuda basin in the western part of Burdwan district, West Bengal and consists of feldspathic sandstone with occasional red and green shales, carbonaceous sandstone, carbonaceous shales and lenses of dull coal. The Durgapur bed is correlatable with Supra- Panchet in the Rajmahal coalfield. The fossil plant-

Malpahari Stone Mning Project, Pre-feasibility Report District Pakur, Jharkhand beds (inter-trappens) at Katangi hill are essentially cycadophytes and pteridophytes belonging to onychiopsis sp., ctensis sp., Taenopteris sp. and pagiophyllum sp. along with Upper Jurassic marker culcites sp. Rajmahal Volcanics (a) These rocks overlie Dubrajpur Fomation (Upper Triassic to Lower Jurassic) and emplaces overstep on to the Barakar Formation (Permian) and Precambrian basement. These Basalts are known to continue towards east and south– Bengal basin and Mahanadi basin. The Rajmahal trap in the eastern part of India extends over an area of about 4300 km². The eruption took place in a sub- aerial environment. In the Rajmahal hills Basaltic lava formed more than 95% of the total exposure and the western margin; the Basalts unconformably overlie the rocks of the Gondwana supergroup. The Rajmahal Basalts indicate an age of around 116 Ma. (b) The lava flows show gently dips towards the east and north, following the basement topography at the time of eruption. There are at least 15 flows above the ground and 28 flows beneath it. Numerous bentonitic deposits, occurring mostly as pockets or thin beds, have been noted in the northeastern and central sectors of the basalt outcrop, signifying that minor explosive volcanic activity centred on these regions. The presence of current bedding, mud cracks and large boulders of the basement rocks in the intertrappean beds east of Bagmara suggest that the basin in which they were deposited was shallow. (c) Rajmahal basalts generally range from quartz-tholeiitic basalt to dacite and pitchstone. The flows vary in thickness from <1 to70 m. Significant volcanic feature observed include vent sites, market by volcanic braccia, welded agglomerate, tuff and lapilli-tuff (including volcanic bombs).Alkali basalts olivine tholeiites have been intercepted in some boreholes in the Bengal basin. (Source: Mine plan) Local Geology (i)The ML applied area for which mining plan is being prepared clearly indicates the type of formation and local geology. The topography of the lease area is

Malpahari Stone Mning Project, Pre-feasibility Report District Pakur, Jharkhand almost flat. The lava flows show gently dips towards the south west to north east, following the basement topography at the time of eruption. The presence of columnar joints, mud cracks and large boulders of the basement rocks in the inter trappean beds east of the area suggest that the basin in which they were deposited was shallow. Columnar joints well exposed in the different places of the area ML applied for lease. (ii) Rajmahal basalts generally range from Quartz-Tholeiitic Basalt to Dacite and Pitchstone. The flows vary in thickness. Significant volcanic feature observed include vent sites, market by volcanic braccia, welded agglomerate, tuff and lapilli-tuff (including volcanic bombs).Basalt has been covered by alluvium soil, derived from weathering of the basalt.

The clayey soil in general is absent in the area. However, the clayey soil is reported on the south western part of the lease area. No organic matter has been reported from these clayey soils. The small bushes and shrubs are prevalent at the top of the hillock. 3.6 Project description with process details 3.6.1 Method of Mining Taking into consideration the massive nature of the stone deposits and availability of the deposit at shallow depth in the present area, it is proposed to use the open cast mechanized mining only. The operations like drilling of shot

Malpahari Stone Mning Project, Pre-feasibility Report District Pakur, Jharkhand hole , sorting of ore and breaking at the required sizes will be done manually so as to deploy the 100 mm dia wagon drilling machine to drill and blast holes having burden and spacing of 3m X 3.5 m in stagger grid pattern. Muffle blasting will be adopted as precautionary measure. Drilling and blasting carried out by engaging authorized explosive agency under competent supervision. However, regular blasting is not required at initial stage. Secondary rock breaking will be done-using hydraulic rock breaking to produce boulders of required size for the crushing plant.

The quarry benches will be of dimension of 3mX 6m and it will start from the existing quarry initially and it will continue towards south of the lease area along with suitable ramp and haulage system. The provisions of Metalliferous Mines Regulations Act, 1961 will be complied by adopting the 3mX6m benching system. The mining will be done with the help of tools such as drills, jacks-hammer, compressors, hand shovel, picks, excavator etc. (Source: Mine plan) Drilling: Drilling will be done with the help of Jack-hammer. In the mine the diameter of hole is kept at 32 mm diameter hole or 110 mm hole diameter of wagon drill m/c. The lease shall mine by slice method of each 1.5m with jack hammer drilling. Blasting: Blasting is required for fragmentation and dislodging the hard, massive stone (Dolerite). For this shallow hole drilling and blasting method is proposed. The shallow hole drilling shall be made by Jackhammer rock drills driven by air compressors. The depth of the hole ranges from 800mm to 1200mm. All the holes shall be blasted by safety fuse firing system. No definite sequence of blasting can be adhered to for shallow hole blasting. Blasting in the area shall be done on contract basis by an agreement with the license holder agency, to conduct the work. These contractors have their own safety explosive

7. REHABILITATION AND RESETTLEMENT (R&R) PLAN As no personnel are expected to be migrated due to mining in the lease area and the adjoining region is also having a good mineral potential, the rehabilitation of the employees is not going to be a problem. The workers and other staff can get job in the neighboring areas after the end of life of mine. R&R not applicable as the proposed land is govt. waste land. 8 PROJECT SCHEDULE & COST ESTIMATES 8.1 Likely Date of Start of Construction and Likely Date of Completion No construction activities are proposed. The mining activity will commence only after receiving environmental clearance and other statutory clearance. 8.2 Estimated Project Cost Along With Analysis In Terms of Economic Viability of the Project Estimated project cost is Rs. 25 Lakhs. The lessee has all the mining equipments required for the scientific mining. The mine will be Eco-Friendly. Economically the ore is mineable as compared to overburden thickness.

9.0 ANALYSIS OF PROPOSAL (FINAL RECOMMENDATIONS) The proposed mine will bring about economic benefits to the state in the form of Royalty of mineral and to the local people by getting direct and secondary employment opportunities. The material is in high demand at the local market for real estate industry. Masonary is commonly used for the construction of walls of buildings, retaining walls and buildings. Brick and concrete block are the most common types of Masonary which is used in industrialized nations

Concrete blocks, especially those with hollow cores, offer various possibilities in Masonary construction. They generally provide great compressive strength, and are best suited structures with light transverse loading when the cores remain unfilled. Filling some or all of the cores with concrete or concrete with steel reinforcement (typically rebar) offers much greater tensile and lateral strength to structures. Advantages:  The use of material such as bricks and stones can increase the thermal mass of a building and can protect the building from fire.  Most types of Masonary will not require painting and so it can provide a structure with reduced life-cycle costs.  Masonary is non-combustible product.  Masonary walls are more resistant to projectiles, such as debris from hurricanes or tornadoes.  Masonary structures built in compression preferably with lime mortar can have a useful life of more than 500 years as compared to 30 to 100 for structures of steel or reinforced concrete. This project operation will provide livelihood to the poorest section of the society/economically backward population in the area. It provides employment to the people residing in vicinity directly or indirectly. The mine management will also help nearby villages by providing aid to school, conducting medical and social awareness camps, helping in formation of self-help groups, etc. Thus the project will bring about socio-economic improvement of the area and will prove beneficial to the area.
