Geological Cross-Sectional Area Method The basic input in this method is demarcating the various features of the area followed by the preparation of the cross-sectional profile. The profiles are nothing but the line of intersection with the topography generated with GPS. The profiles were then converted into geological sections by incorporating the geological contacts as intersected by the geological mapping and drill hole data.

The major lithological formations encountered viz. Overburden soil. Limestones, Calc silicate, Dolomite were marked in the profiles and geological sections were created. The limestone based on the chemical analysis of the borehole cores were subdivided into 1. Limestone 2. Low grade limestone and 3. Rejects within limestone. The Geological Sections prepared in this way were utilised to calculate the sectional area of the different lithological units. The average cross sectional area was then multiplied by distance to arrive at the volume between the two sections. The volume so determined was converted to weight in tonnes by applying ‘volume to weight’ ratio commonly referred to as ‘tonnage

5 conversion factor’ (TCF). The TCF was taken as 2.5.

Limestone of Mohanpura varies in orientation from place to place due to the folding and overturning. In Block I the deposit shows a gentle dip of 25 o to 45 o whereas in Block II and Block III the dips are sub vertical to vertical. Thus the true thickness of the limestone lies between 80- 100 m, but due to variation in dips it covers different widths in different areas. Keeping the safety zones of 100 m from the villages which overlap the mining lease and 15 m safety zone from ML boundary, the actual Mineable resources has been calculated through conventional cross –sectional area method. The resources thus calculated have been treated as “indicated resources”.

Tonnage Conversion Factor

One cubic meter of in-situ Limestone by weight has been considered to be equivalent to 2.5 tonnes of Limestone by weight.

Block I For the purpose of calculation of mineable resources through section line GG’, LL’ and MM’ safety zone of 100 m towards Ajeetpura village in south- western part and a 100 m safety zone towards Kujota village in north- eastern part has been kept. Total strike length of 485 m has been taken for resource calculation. A village road connecting Ajeetpura and Kujota passes from the lease block, which has to be diverted to win maximum ore.

Block II This is the block where the mining activities are being carried out at present. For the resource calculation, a total strike length of 450m has been taken leaving a safety zone of 100m in north east for Ajeetpura village.

Block III The major part of the block is blocked for resources as the Bhaislana village is situated on a part of it and a safety zone of 100 m is to be kept from ultimate pit boundary. Thus a strike length of only 120 m could be taken for estimation of resources.

Topography, Drainage, General geology and Local geology:

Topography

The area exhibits flat topography and gentle to moderately steep slopes towards Northern and western flanks. Ajeetpura village in the Western part

8 is situated at a higher elevation as compared to eastern part of the area.

Drainage

The lease area is almost flat terrain with some undulations. No nalah is located in the lease area. Drainage in nearby area is towards north eastern side by sota nadi located around 3.0 kilometers NW from the lease area. The Sabi river is around 7.5 Km south of the lease area. Limestone is covered by soil and most of the area is being used for cultivation. Seasonal crops like Bajra, Mustard, pulses are grown. There is no Forest land within the lease area. Average rain fall for the past five years is about 559.18 mm (IMD-Jaipur report for the year2008- 2012 and for the period June- September).

General (Regional) Geology:

The rock formations of this area belong to Ajabgarh series of Delhi system. The regional stratigraphy is as follows

Delhi Limestone, Ajabgarh Intrusive System quartzite, Series granites,pegmatites,quartz Schists, veins and amphibolites Phyllites etc. Alwar series Railo series The limestone occurs as bands having variable chemical composition and texture. In the field megascopically one can locate fine grained to coarse grained crystalline light to dark grey bands of superior limestone and also inferior bands having higher percentage of silica/amphibolites limestone which contains high concentration of needles of amphiboles viz. Tremolite and actinolite either sparingly dispersed or as clusters.

The dolomite limestone band which can also be distinguished on keen surface examination occurs side by side without having any regularity. The black crystalline limestone of Bhaislana which posses more or less homogenous texture is famous as Bhaislana black marble and takes good polish.

Petrogenesis : Calcareous sediments were originally deposited with argillaceous and other siliceous impurities. These were subjected to great tectonic disturbances involving folding and faulting. These sediments were further subjected to dynamo thermal metamorphism which on account of

9 changes in the temperature and pressure brought about mineralogical changes. Further recrystallisation by slow cooling has resulted in the formation of crystalline limestone, impure crystalline limestone, development of calcium and magnesium, silicate minerals like Tremolite, Actnolite etc.

Local Geology

Except some small warping and joints no fault fold or other geological disturbances encountered in the lease area.

The lime stone of this area is sedimentary deposit. The impure calcareous and dolomitic sediments having impurities of silica and iron have given rise to tremolite and actinolite needles. This impure lime stone come across in Block-1 and reduce towards block-3. The white bands in grayish/ blackish marble come across in block-3. When dolomitic lime stone are reworked by hydrothermal solutions, this often given rise to coarse-crystalline mass of dolomite and this named as marble

Limestone occurs in this area under the soil cover of 0.2 meter in massive deposit. The wall rocks are not exposed. White dolomite in small layers are associated with marble and limestone. The rock occurs in this area as marble is a common rock forming mineral. Marble in this region often forms whole blocks or are inter- bedded with limestone.

Colour of limestone is Dark Grey to Light Grey gray and colour of marble of this area is black to grayish and has white bands of dolomite. Grain size varies from medium to coarse. The marble is hard in nature. Bulk density is about 2.5 Lustre is vitreous. Hardness is around 3.5 on mho’s scale.

3 PROJECT DESCRIPTION.

(i) Types of project including interlinked and interdependent project, if any.

The proposed project is expansion of Limestone production from 99325 tonnes to 0.80 MTPA from limestone mine.

M/s National Limestone Company Private Limited has renewed mining lease for Limestone and marble (under minor mineral) near village Kujota, Ajeetpura, Bhaislana over an area of 96.25 ha. vide Govt. of Rajasthan order number bearing S.No-P.7(15)Mine/Group-2/95, dated 03.05.2005. the duration of Mining lease is from 09.08.1995 to 20 years

(ii) Location (map showing general location, specific location, and project boundary & project site layout with coordinates.

The mining lease area is located at a distance of 45 Km from Dabla railway station which is on the Delhi – Udaipur main line of North Western Railway. The Neem Ka thana Railway station is located around 50 Km from the mine area on Delhi-Udaipur Railway line of North Western Railway. The area is well connected by the road network. Mining lease area is about 5 Km from NH 08 and about 13 Km from Tehsil- Kotputli which is located on National Highway no. 08.

Location map is enclosed as Annexure 2.

(iii) Details of alternate sites considered and the basis of selecting the proposed site, particularly the environmental considerations gone into should be highlighted.

The mining project is site specific project as it is related to occurrence of limestone in the mother earth. Hence no alternative sites were studied for the purpose.

(iv) Size or magnitude of operation.

Expansion of existing lime stone mine from 0.09 MTPA to 0.8 MTPA, (mining lease area of 96.25 hectares)

(v) Project description with process details (a schematic diagram/flow chart showing the project layout, components of the project etc. should be given.

The mine will be worked by Mechanized Opencast Method of working. Heavy earth moving machinery in conjunction with deep hole drilling and blasting will be utilized for the mining. The height of the bench will be kept of 8 – 10 Meter and width of the bench will be kept 15-20 Meter.

The blast holes of 100 - 115 mm dia will be drilled using hydraulic drills. The blast holes will be drilled in staggered pattern keeping burden of 2.5 to 3.5 Meter and spacing of 4.0 to 5.0 Meter

The blast holes will be charged with combination of ANFO and slurry explosives (booster charge). Almost 30 % of blast hole depth will be stemmed for effective blasting and to reduce noise and fly rock. The explosives will be blasted by using non – electric detonator (NONEL). This enables bottom initiation in the holes and with this technique each hole is blasted separately by providing delay in each hole. The bottom initiation and delay in each hole not only control the throw of the blast but also reduce the ground vibration and noise pollution.

The shovel dumper combination will be used for excavation of the limestone. Shovels of 1.8 m3 and 4 m3 will be deployed in combination with 40 / 50 T class dumpers/tippers. The blasted stone will be excavated using these shovels and transported using these dumpers/tippers. All the benches and roads will be sloped properly to maintain the safety of these equipments / machineries.

For removal of overburden soil, excavators with dumpers will be deployed for development. The overburden soil thus excavated will be dumped and stacked as waste dump. For scrapping of top soil dozer in combination with shovel / loader will be used.

To achieve the desired production and productivity, adequate number of staff, officers, managers and workmen (skilled and unskilled) will be deployed

The mine working will be highly mechanized. For operations like drilling, excavating and hauling, heavy earth moving machineries viz. drill machine, hydraulic excavator and dumpers will be used. Hydraulic drill machine will be used for drilling 100 - 115 mm dia blast holes. Hydraulic Excavators will be used for loading of blasted material. The dumpers of 40 / 50 tons payload will be used for transportation. Dozer will be used for levelling & compacting of overburden dump as well as face preparation and road maintenance

(vii) Resources optimization/ recycling and reuse envisaged in the project, if any, should be brief outlined.

The total mining lease area comprises of dark grey limestone, light grey limestone, dolomitic limestone and overburden soil. Initially mining operations will be started in the Block-II of mining lease area. Overburden will be stacked separately. As the pit is already opened a very little soil is available which will be directly used for plantation purpose.

on of the Green belt along the mines/lease boundary. And sooner mines is matured enough for reclaimation , the mining benches of worked out portion of the pit will be levelled by overburden & top soil will be spread over before doing plantation over it for reclaimation. and balance area will be converted into water reservoir.

(viii) Availability of water its sources, Energy /power requirement and sources should be given,

Water

Water requirement during operation of the mine and plantation purpose will be 5.0 KLD/day. During construction activities the water requirement will be 10.0 KLD/day. This requirement will be sourced from the reservoirs developed in the mining lease area. For domestic purpose the requirement of water will be 1.0KLD will be sourced from outside.

Power

Power will be required for office lighting only & for this, single Phase supply is already provided by State Electricity Board. (Phase-Neutral 230V AC). Electricity consumption will be 5KW. For general lighting in the mines & pumping 5-7.5 KVA DG sets will be utilized.

(ix) Quantity of wastes to generated (liquid and solid) and scheme for their management/disposal.)

Some parts of the mineable part of the deposit area is covered under an overburden soil bed varying in thickness from 0 to maximum 1.0 m and the pits are also already opened. As the pit is already developed and there is very less quantity is of top soil will be available, it will be used directly for plantation purpose. The overburden will be stacked separately in the southern side of the pit. For the initial five years, dumping will be carried out in this area.

And once the ultimate depth of the limestone in the deposit will be established and sooner the mine will be matured, backfilling will be started in the mined out area.

The quantum of overburden waste generation in first five years is tabulated below –

During construction activities an indirect employment of atleast 50 people will get benefited. During operation of the mine atleast 50 people will get direct employment and around 200 people will be envisaged for indirect employment .

(ii) Population projection

The establishment of the mine would aid in the overall social and economic development of the region. The mine will give direct employment to about 50 people, in addition there will be indirect employment to many more people in the form of out sourcing jobs, business opportunities, service facilities etc. This will enhance the economic status of the local region.

(iii) Land use planning (breakup along with green belt etc)

The Mining Lease of 96.25 Ha is located in the villages of Kujota, ajeetpura, Bhaislanan , Tehsil: Kotputli , district-Jaipur of Rajasthan State.

(iv) Assessment of Infrastructure Demand (physical & social).

Adequate physical and social facilities are available in this area.

(v) Amenities/ Facilities.

All infrastructure facilities such as education, health facilities and other social facilities are adequate at Tehsil headquarter kotputli which is 13 Km from the mine area makes the region adequate in amenities

6 PROPOSED INFRASTRUCTURE

(i) Industrial Area (Processing Area).

Infrastructures are required for mining activates with allied facilities.

(ii) Residential Area ( Non Processing Area)

As the mine area is close to gordhanpura chowki and tehsil head quarters kotputli residential problem will not envisaged.

(iii) Green belt.

The overburden will be stacked separately in the south side of the working pit. On these overburden dumps, Afforestation will be done all along the periphery for development of green belt. There is enough space in the present reject yard to accommodate the reject/waste rock generated over the years. Back filling is also envisaged in the worked out pits. when part of the mines in Western boundary is matured for reclamation. Afforestation will be developed on the back filled worked out areas.

(iv) Social Infrastructure.

National Limestone Company Private Limited will carryout social development and welfare measures in the surrounding villages. Under CSR activity the company will initiate community development projects, in the fields of health, education and environmental preservation, in the study area around the Mine.

(v) Connectivity (Traffic and Transportation Road/ Rail/Metro/ Water ways etc)

The nearest airport is Jaipur which is 120 Km from the mine area.

The area is well connected by the road network. Mining lease area is about 5 Km from NH 08 and about 13 Km from Tehsil Head quarters Kotputli, and 120 Km from district head quarter Jaipur located on National Highway no. 08 on Jaipur-Delhi Highway No-08.

(vii ) Sewerage system.

The production of limestone will be based on Dumper-Shovel combination, hence no waste water will be generated from the Mine.

(viii) Industrial waste management.

Some parts of the mineable part of the deposit area is covered under an overburden soil bed varying in thickness from 0 to maximum 1.0 m and the pits are also already opened. The top soil which will be generated in the initial stages will be very less as the pits are already opened. The top soil will be either used directly for plantation purpose or will be stacked separately. The overburden will be stacked separately in the southern side of the working pit. For the initial five years, dumping will be carried out in this area.

(ix) Solid waste management

Same as above

(x) Power Requirement & Supply / Source.

Power will be required for office lighting only & for this, single Phase supply is already provided by State Electricity Board has been in use (Phase-Neutral 230V AC). Electricity consumption will be about 5KW. For general lighting of mines & any other requirement 5KVA DG sets will be utilized.

It is also envisaged that the power requirement during construction of infrastructures phase shall be met by grid / installing DG set

7. REHABILITATION AND RESETTLEMENT (R & R) PLAN.

(i) Policy to be adopted (Central/ State) in respect of the project affected persons including home oustees, land oustees and landless laborers (a brief outline to be given).

The R&R policy will be adopted as per the guidelines of Central/State policy if applicable

8. PROJECT SCHEDULE & COST ESTIMATES

(i) Likely date of start of construction and likely date of completion (time schedule for the project to be given).
