1. INTRODUCTION

The District Mineral Survey Report of Erode District was prepared with the assistance of Geological Survey of India State Unit, Tamil Nadu as per the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change, the Government of India Notification No. SO 141 (E) dated 15.01.2016 and SO 190 ( E) dated 20.01.2016. The District survey report has been approved by the Chairman DEIAA/ District Collector, Erode on 15.3.2019 and same was uploaded in the Erode District NIC portal. Now the Erode District Mineral Survey report has updated as per Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change, the Government of India Notification No. SO 3611 (E) dated 25.7.2018. The main purpose of preparation of District Survey Report is to identify the mineral resources and developing the mining activities along with other relevant data of the District.

The Erode District covers an area 5722 sq. KM and falls within the latitude from 10°36' to 11°58' and longitude from 76°49' to 77°58'. It has Nine Taluks (Erode, , , , Bhavani, , Nampiyur, , Thalavadi) with total population of 2251744 (as per 2011 census).

2. OVERVIEW OF MINING ACTIVITY IN THE DISTRICT

The Mining of minor minerals like Quartz, Feldspar, Dimension stone and Gravels are active in the district. Private companies play a major roll in mining activity where as the

Government agencies like TAMIN take part in mining dimension stones only. The major minerals like Copper Ore, Chromite, PGE and Gold are reported in the district but they are not in minable quantity and there no any mining activity in those deposits.

The office of the Deputy Director, Department of Geology and Mining is functioning under the control of District Collector, Erode. The Deputy Director, Geology and Mining is assisting the District Collector in the Mineral Administration works.

4. GEOLOGY OF THE DISTRICT

4.1. AN OUTLINE ON GEOLOGY OF TAMILNADU

Crystalline rocks of Archaean to late Proterozoic age occupy over 80% of the area of the state of Tamilnadu, while the rest is covered by Phanerozoic sedimentary rocks mainly along the coastal belt and in a few inland River valleys. The hard rock terrain comprises predominantly of Charnockite and Khondalite groups and their Migmatitic derivatives,

Supracrustal sequences of Sathyamangalam and Kolar groups and Peninsular Gneissic

Complex (Bhavani Group), intruded by ultramafic-mafic complexes, basic dykes, granites and syenites. The sedimentary rocks of the coastal belt include fluviatile, fluvio-marine and marine sequences, such as Gondwana Supergroup (Carboniferous to Permian and Upper

Jurassic to Lower Cretaceous), marine sediments of Cauvery basin (Lower Cretaceous to

Paleogene), /Pannambarai Formation (Mio-Pliocene) and sediments of Quaternary and Recent age. Geological map of Tamilnadu is given below (Plate 2.)

4.2. GEOLOGY OF ERODE DISTRICT

The rock types exposed in the district can be broadly grouped as 1) Granulite group of rocks 2) Migmatite Complex 3) Sathyamangalam Schist Complex 4) Peninsular Gneissic Complex 5) Alkali Complex 6) Acid Intrusives and 7) Quaternary Alluvium.

The Granulite group of rocks comprise of Calc Granulite, Quartzite of Khondalite group, Charnockite, Pyroxene Granulite, Pyroxenite of Charnockite group, Migmatite gneiss, and Metagabbro. Charnockite occurs as a major rock type in the northern part and as thin bands and enclaves in the southern part of the district. Quartzite and Calc Granulite, Pyroxene Granulite, Migmatite Gneiss occurs as thin bands and enclaves.

Hornblende gneiss, Gametiferous - Quartzo Feldspathic gneiss and granite are the important rock types of Migmatite Complex, of which, hornblende gneiss occupies the major part of the District, particularly in southern part and northwesten part. Garnetiferous quartzofeldspathic gneiss is located near Bhavani Sagar reservoir and north of Anthiyur.

The Sathyamangalam Group includes fuchsite Quanrtzite, schistose-quartzite, sillimanite-quartzite, ferruginous Quanrtzite, talc-tremolite / Actinolite schist / hornblende schist, Amphibolite and Gabbroanorthosite and Pyroxenite. Schistose rocks occur as enclaves near Sathyamangalam, west of . Quartzite occurs as thin beds near Kavilanattam, west of Chennimalai, Amphibolite occur as enclaves near Sathyamangalam, Gobi and around Perudnurai. A north site, Pyroxenite occurs as WSW-ENE trending bands in fissile hornblende gneiss of PGC (Bhavani Group) which occupies the ventral part of the district.

Granite bodies are located in the central part of the district around Punjai Puliyampatti and west of Erode. Quaternary fluvial deposits are restricted to the river beds of Cauveri, Noyyil, Amaravathi and Bhavani rivers.

The plains show a large number of Ultramafic bodies along the E-W Bhavani lineament. WNW-ESE to NW-SE trending dykes is a common feature. The Cauveri River which has a NNE-SSW trending straight course between and Bhavani is considered to represent a major lineament, probably a deep seated fault zone.

8

The general E-W to ENE-WSW course of the flowing at the foot of the hills indicates a major lineament, probably a deep seated fault zone.

The Moyyar - Bhavani, Noyyil - Cauveri lineaments belong to the NNW-SSE to E-W system. The Mettur fault is a NNE-SSW system. The N-S to NNE-SSW trending dykes show clear truncation against the E-W Bhavani lineament.

4.4. MINERAL OCCURRENCES IN ERODE DISTRICT

Erode District has limited occurrence of major minerals. The other available Minor Minerals are Quartz, Feldspar, Granite varieties and other common use minor minerals like rough stone, gravel and Silt. The district is endowed with the following mineral occurrences - gypsum reported from north, west of Bhavani, Gold occurrences reported from Bensimali, Beryl is reported from west of Bhavani. Mica is reported from east and southwest of Anthiyur. Gemstones are reported in Chennimalai area, copper ore is reported from east of Gobichettipalayam and in quarry section of Mylambalayam village. Chromite mineral deposits are reported from and Karappadi area. Even though the district is blessed with a list of mineral deposited from gold to precious stone, copper to PGE group of mineral, only quartz, feldspar and dimension stones are quarried in the district. The details of economically important mineral deposit are as follows.

4.4.1. ROUGH STONE (CHARNOCKITE AND GRANITE GNEISS)

Charnockite rocks of Charnockite Group of Archean are is the source of rough stone in the district. The charnockite are quarried for all sort of civil construction, and road construction. The charnockite are one of important raw material of m-sand which is considered to be replacement for river sand in civil construction field. The total production in the last three year is 1918802 Cubic Meter with royalty of Rs.75, 995, 595.

Charnockite is exposed as discontinuous body in NNW - SSE direction from Bhavanisagar in the west to in the east and from Vaniputhur in the north to Chennimaai in the south. Active quarries are located in Perode (Plate 7), Arachalur, Chennimalai, Ekkattampalayam, Paruvachi, Mylampadi, Goundampalayam, Punjaithuraiyampalayam, Kurumbapalayam.

The depth of quarrying in the Charnockite rocks for excavating Rough Stone in the above said villages varies from 10m to more than 45 metres. As the Charnockite rock is predominantly massive and without joints in nature, the water table has not encountered upto the known depth of 45 metres. Hence, the depth of quarrying of Rough Stones may be allowed 2 meters above the ground water table level. The thickness of the weathered part which occurs over the Charnockite varies from 2m to 5m and it varies from place to place. The weathered part is used as earth fill (locally called as gravel).
