INTRODUCTION OF THE PROJECT/ BACKGROUND INFORMATION: I. Identification of project and project proponent. In case of Mining project, a copy of mining lease/ letter of intent should be given. Grey Granite Quarry is located in Survey No. 347/1 in Kuknur Village, Yelburga Taluka, Koppal District, and Karnataka over an extent of 2 Acres 04 Gunta (2.10 Acres).The applied area is notified vide letter No.DMG/KMD/SQ-Patta-39/2017-18/262, dated: 20.05.2017. The copy of the notification is enclosed as Annexure-I. Name & address of lessee : Sri Manjunath Mahantappa Shettar & S/o. Mahantappa Shettar, Registered Office #1725/A, Ilkal-587125,Hungunda Taluk Bagalakot District, Karnataka State Mobile No: +91 9448021552 II. Brief description of nature of the project This is the new grey granite quarry and quarrying operations shall be carried out in a systematic and scientific way. The proposal is made for the open cast quarrying. Drilling shall be done by jack hammer. Excavator, Crane & tippers shall be used for loading & transportation. The maximum production from this area shall be 5,281 m3 of granite.The proposal is made for the opencast Quarrying by other than fully mechanized method. It is proposed to produce maximum 5,281m3 granite from this quarrying in the I-year of plan period. The quarry is planned out in such a way by talking advantage of the geological structures especially the major sets of joints. The height of the bench shall be maintained to 6mt with the width of 6mt. The bench slope shall be maintained to 45 0. Initially drilling by pneumatic jack hammers (hole diameter is 33mm) shall be done at appropriate intervals (20-30 cms) to the desired depth. Smooth blasting is effected by using gun powder. The loose joints can be split by feather and wedges. If the joints are tight, as we go deep, the methodology will change accordingly. III. Need for the project and its importance to the country and or region. Quarrying for extraction of granite is one of the important economic activity contribute to the State Revenue of Karnataka. The mining activities shall provide socio-economic benefits to the local populace with direct & indirect employment opportunities. The regional benefits to the state ..3 Manjunath Mahantappa Shettar Pre-feasibility Report in the form of Royalty, DMF, Cess, Taxes etc. In addition to this local people will get employment and transportation facilities. IV. Demand-Supply Gap . The demand for grey granite is increasing along with the increase in infrastructure and construction activities in Karnataka.

Imports Vs Indigenous production There is a good demand of grey granite for export as well as for local industry. VI. Export possibility. There is a good export market for grey granite. VII. Domestic/Export markets. The grey granite also exported as well as consume locally for slab making. VIII.Employment Generation (Direct and Indirect) due to the project. As per the requirement of Mines Act and MCDR 1980, Mining Engineer/Mines Foreman shall be appointed to supervise the quarrying operations. The list of the staff and workmen those shall be employed in the quarry is given below. Sl. No Particulars No’s 1 Highly Skilled 2 2 Skilled 4 3 Semi-skilled 4 4 Un-skilled 10 Total 20 2. PROJECT DESCRIPTION (i) Type of project including interlinked and interdependent projects, if any. The grey granite produced from quarry shall be transported to the polishing industries at Kustagi. The generated granite blocks shall be transported to the polishing industries for cutting and making the required sizes of tiles, blocks etc., and this project is interlinked with polishing industries. The generated blocks may not sold to the consumers without polishing the blocks. [ (ii) Location (map showing general location, specific location, and project boundary & project site layout) with Co-ordinates. ..4 Manjunath Mahantappa Shettar Pre-feasibility Report The Grey Granite Quarry area over an extent of 2 Acres 04 Guntas (2.10 Acres) is located in Survey No.347/1 in Kuknur Village, Yelburga Taluk, Koppal District, and Karnataka. The location of the same is shown in Plate No.1. The latitude & longitude of the area is given below.

Grey Granite quarry leases are site specific. Hence there is no alternative suitable area available for quarrying. However the area is located in Safer Zone area of Koppal Dist. (iv) Size or magnitude of operation. Medium scale operation. (v) Project description with process details (a schematic diagram/ flow chart showing the project layout, components of the project etc. should be given). Type of Mining : Open cast method of mining is carried out in this mine by manually and semi mechanization by using compressor operated jack hammer drills, excavators, and dumper etc, Transportation will be made by trucks to dispatching point.
