The deposit is approachable from Gorubathan by 9 km long road with its first 2 km being black topped road and the remaining 7 kms an unmetalled hill road. There is a branch post office at Gorubathan. and telegraph facility is available at Sylihat at a distance of about 7 kms. The nearest railway station is New Mal on the New Jalpaiguri- New Bongaigaon broad gauge section of North East frontier Railway. 2.0 GEOLOGY AND STRUCTURE The rock types of the Mal Khola Block are quartz-chlorite-biotite-sericite schist, quartzite, epidiorite and quartz magnetite rock. These litho-units belong to the Gorubathan sub-Group of the Daling Group and are of Precambrian age. The over all strike of the formations is E-W northerly dips varying form 20° to 45°. There are local swings at places, which change the strike to almost north-south direction. Occasionally boudins, varying in length from 1m to 3m are also seen. The lead-zinc mineralisation in the form of galena and sphalerite occurs mainly in association with the quartz magnetite rock. 3.0 MINERALISATION The lead-zinc mineralisation in the form of galena and sphalerite occurs mainly in association with the quartz magnetite rock. Outcrops of ore body are seen in the area in addition to the boulders of float ore found scattered at places. The quartz 2 magnetite rocks exhibit crude bedding and at places intricate folding. Often ore bodies exhibit ill defined layering of ore minerals. The main ore forming minerals, in order of abundance, are magnetite, pyrite, sphalerite, and galena. They form about 90% of the total volume of the ore minerals. The remaining 10% is accounted by pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite, arsenopyrite and other minerals. The deleterious elements like bismuth and arsenic are not present in significant quantities. Gold has been found in the range of nil to 1 gm/t in the composite samples. Similarly the silver values in the composite samples have been found to vary from 7 to 115 gm/t. The silver values appear to be significant and could perhaps be recovered as a by-product 4.0 QUANTUM OF WORK DONE MECL has carried out detailed Geological Mapping & topographical survey covering 0.96Sq. Km area. 2720.65 m of drilling in 32 boreholes, 1093 number of primary and check samples for gold, 43 Nos of composite samples are analysed for Au & Ag and also for 5 radicals. 61 Nos.of samples for Spectroscopic studies, 21 samples for Petrographic studies of thin sections and 29 samples for polished sections and 1 No.of sample for beneficiation study. 5.0 ORE RESERVE ESTIMATION Reserves of 1.79 m.t. of 3.86% Pb and 3.64% Zn (TMC- 7.50% Pb+Zn) have been estimated in the Mal Khola block within a vertical depth of 125m and a strike length of 200m. These reserves have been put under “Probable” category. As a result of the Detailed exploration carried out by MEC has helped fairly well in delineation of the shape and size of the ore body has been delineated. Although the grade of 7.50% Pb + Zn is quite attractive, the reserves of 1.79 m.t. are limited. The deposit has been classified as Category “D” of UNFC 332 The total cost of exploration is Rs. 32.32 Lakhs 3 LOCATION MAP OF GORUBATHAN BLOCK LOCATION MAP SHOWING GORUBATHAN LEAD-ZINC DEPOSITS DARJEELING DISTRICT (W.B.) 88° 40° 88° 45° Ambyok T.G.

  • Chapter Vi Landslide As an Agent of Rayeng Basin Degradation
    CHAPTER VI LANDSLIDE AS AN AGENT OF RAYENG BASIN DEGRADATION 6.0 Scenario of landslides The landslides are one of the significant types of natural hazards. Massive landslides make trouncing of both creature existence and assets. Yet, people livelihood in the mountainous regions is habituated to survive with such events. With the augmented tourism over the precedent few decades, residential areas have been make bigger over mountainous slopes, which of course necessitate new communication system. This disturbs the usual slopes and an environment of the mountainous regions, in that way greater than ever susceptibility to landslide happening. Geomorphic studies of landslides take account of the assessment of vulnerability and causes responsible behind occurrences. Landslides are the most significant disparaging geomorphic process accountable for degradation of Rayeng Basin. Throughout intense rainfall, the weathering process is accelerated reducing schists and mudstones into silts and fine sands, and succeeding failure of these fine materials triggers landslides in the Rayeng Basin. 6.1 Methodology of study Study of" landslides of the basin incorporate, recognition of affected areas based on the field study and secondary data from earlier study. Intensive study has been made on the factors associated to landslides such as geology, slope angles, soil, climatic condition, hydrologic conditions, vegetation, and last but not the least i.e. human interferences in the basin. In this milieu, topographical maps, geological map, satellite imageries of the basin have been studied intensively. Meteorological data are collected. On the basis of several factors an effort has been made to prepare a landslides susceptible zones map of the study area.

  • District Disaster Management Plan-2019,Kalimpong
    DISTRICT DISASTER MANAGEMENT PLAN-2019,KALIMPONG 1 FOREWORD It is a well-known fact that we all are living in a world where occurrence of disasters whether anthropological or natural are increasing year by year in terms of both magnitude and frequency. Many of the disasters can be attributed to man. We, human beings, strive to make our world comfortable and convenient for ourselves which we give a name ‘development’. However, in the process of development we take more from what Nature can offer and in turn we get more than what we had bargained for. Climate change, as the experts have said, is going to be one major harbinger of tumult to our world. Yet the reason for global warming which is the main cause of climate change is due to anthropological actions. Climate change will lead to major change in weather pattern around us and that mostly will not be good for all of us. And Kalimpong as a hilly district, as nestled in the lap of the hills as it may be, has its shares of disasters almost every year. Monsoon brings landslide and misery to many people. Landslides kill or maim people, kill cattle, destroy houses, destroy crops, sweep away road benches cutting of connectivity and in the interiors rivulets swell making it difficult for people particularly the students to come to school. Hailstorm sometimes destroys standing crops like cardamom resulting in huge loss of revenue. Almost every year lightning kills people. And in terms of earthquake the whole district falls in seismic zone IV. Therefore, Kalimpong district is a multi-hazard prone district and the District Disaster Management Plan is prepared accordingly.

  • Darjeeling - Kampong Hills Land Slide and Flash Flood 30 Th June and 1 St July 2015
    State Inter Agency Group ––– WEST BENGAL Sit Rep-1: Darjeeling - Kampong Hills Land Slide and Flash Flood 30 th June and 1 st July 2015 Background: Incessant and heavy rainfall caused tremendous damage to the hills of Darjeeling. After the earthquake that hit Nepal on the 25 th of May 2015 with more than 300 aftershocks – each being felt in the neighbouring hills of Darjeeling had already opened up splits and cracks in the ever vulnerable region. Now, on the night of 30 th of June 2015, the cracks and splits gave way to huge landslides taking away life, land, property and overall, the peace of mind. After continuous spell of rain, over the past weeks Darjeeling witnessed landslide on yesterday July 1st 2015. This was one of the major kinds of devastation in the recent past in the district. The areas of Mirik, Lava, Kalingpong, Sukhia, Gorubathan was among the places which were worst hit. The landslide in Bichgaon in Mirik’s Tingling, which was the worst affected. Tingling is a tea garden and most affected are tea garden workers. As on 3 rd July 2015 the highest number of deaths has been reported from Tingling where at least eight houses swept away and 12 bodies were found dead. Seven are untraceable. Local administration, community and army are in search of people who are trapped under the landslide and are untraceable. Aftermath • Relief and rehabilitation has also stopped as major connecting roads leading to these places are blocked due to landslide. Rohini Road and Pankhabari Road between Darjeeling and Siliguri are open.
