In principle of application for grant of quarry lease notice issued by Department of Mines and Geology, Govt. of Telangana vide notice no. 18143/R1‐3/2016 dated 10.01.2017. Quarry plan is approved by the Deputy Director of Mines and Geology, Warangal, Government of Telangana vide Letter No. 618/QP‐1/KNR/2017 dated 13.03.2017. It is proposed to extract color granite production of 31500 m3 annually by semi mechanized method mining. Capital cost proposed for quarrying is Rs. 1.2 Crore. Quarry Lease Area Location M/s. Santhosh Granites proposes to conduct semi mechanized opencast method quarrying for granite production of 31500 m3/Annum. The quarry lease area of 12.0 ha is located at Survey No. 925/1, Godishala Village, Saidapur Mandal, Karimnagar District, Telangana State. The quarry lease area falls in the Survey of India topo sheet no. 56 N/8 with co‐ordinates of Latitude 18°11'58.72"Nand Longitude 79°19'56.31"E with an elevation of 368m. The nearest village Yelampalli located at a distance of 1.7 km from the QL area in East direction. The nearest town Huzurabad located at a distance of 6.3km in SE direction. Railway station is Uppal is at a distance of 15.8 km in SE direction. The road access is Godishala to Yelabotaram road passing via Yelampalli village at a distance of 1.7km from the QL area in East direction. Karimnagar to Warangal road is passing at a distance of 5.4km in East direction. The lease area can be accessible through a cart track from the nearest village. Kakatiya Main Canal is flowing at a distance of 6.1 km in East direction. Akunur RF is at a distance of 7.2km in SW direction.

B) Geological Reserves The reserves are computed based on available exposure on surface and subsurface lithology. The soil and weather granite formations visible from the surface ground level upto some extent upto 5m and die sheet rock is encountered from 5 to 7m to the further depth upto 60m below. However, only 20m thickness is taken for computation of proved deposit then 20m probable deposit and 20m possible deposit is considered as resources. The reserves and resources of the color granite are together were computed based on the geological cross‐section method, which is presumed to be more accurate. A total of 3 Geological cross‐section where drawn based on perpendicular to the strike director (in dip direction of quarry lease area) and also to the perpendicular to contour elevations, then minimum contour elevation from the ground to maximum height exposures in the field Viz., A ‐ A', B ‐ B' and C‐C'. The area of color Granite was measured in each of these cross‐sections and multiplied by respective lengths of influence to get its volume. The reserves of the color granite are categorized into Proved (111)/ Measured (331), probable (121) / Indicated (332) and Possible (122) / Inferred (333) categories. The QL area is having scattered boulders is presented in table A‐2.

C) Quarrying Method Opencast method of by semi mechanization by using compressor operated jack hammer drills, excavators and dumper etc. Transportation will be made by trucks to dispatching points. Hydraulic excavator and compressor jack hammers were used for cutting the rock. Close shed drilling of 0.2m was adopted along the strike line and charged with low explosive to avoid feather cracks. a) Since it has been decided to undertake semi‐mechanized mining operations, the below mentioned mine machinery will be deployed.

Drilling and Blasting Drilling and blasting plays vital role in determining the size and shape of rough blocks. Drilling Pattern is important in developing a working face and also preparing the rough blocks suitable for their use in appropriate processing units. There are no important places in and around the area, blasting will be carried with precautionary measures. 1. Drilling Parameters i. Drill holes diameter: 34mm ii. Depth and inclination of the blast holes: 0.33m to 0.75m, 4.5 meter in case of separation primary blocks depending on the block size. Then the drill‐hole will be vertical. iii. Spacing and Burden: 30 cm and 3m iv. Stemming and charging of the blast hole: The blast hole will be charged with 100 grams of explosives and filled with clan pills subsequently; the shot hole will be stemmed using brass stemming rods. v. Explosive type: (1) Slurry based explosives or Gun Powder. Broad Blasting parameter Drill‐Hole patterns for primary and secondary smooth blasting. Uniform single line equidistant holes (line drilling) will be deployed for separation of blocks from mother rock. In the case of sheet rock the primary drilling will be in the form of equidistant vertical holes to take out blocks of Gang Saw.
