Palaeobotanist 37( I) 125·133. Palynoflora] investigations carried out on bore· hole samples from Shobhapur Block, Pathakhera Coalfield in Madhya Pradesh revealed two distinct palynofloral assemblages. Assemblage Zone·! is rich in radial monosaccates, chiefly Par-asaccites and includes the lowermost coal seam of the area, the Bagdona Seam Assemblage Zone·2 is charaCterised by the dominance of nonsrriate·disaccate-scheunnglpollenites, distributed in the younger coal seams including lower (~iddle) and upper (Top workable). Assemblage Zone·!, corresponding to the known Upper Karharbari palynofloras, establishes the existence of Karharbari sediments in Shobhapur Block of Pathakhera Coalfield, which were hitherto assigned to Barakar Formation The Barakar palynoflora has continued into the lower part of Motur Formation in bore· hole no CMPS 43 of Shobhapur Block.

TIWARI (*) ABSTRACT. - Talchir Formation represents the basal Gondwana deposits and commences with the glacial environment. The playnofloras show, in general, the overwhelming dominance of the girdling (radial) monosaccate miospore genera. In the present work, the relative position of each mioflora has been determined, and on the basis of variation analysis, dominance trends as well as the qualitative considerations of the spore-pollen-complex, three zones have been suggested to be existing in the Talchirs. 1.

  • Recast Project Report for Dhankasa U/G Mine Executive
    RECAST P.R. FOR DHANKASA UG MINE-1.0 Mty (MAY-2016) CMPDI RECAST PROJECT REPORT FOR DHANKASA U/G MINE EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 GENERAL The proposed Dhankasa UG Mine has been planned in the Geological blocks of Dhankasa and Naheriya (partly). These Geological Blocks are located in the north- eastern part of Pench-Kanhan Valley Coalfield, District Chhindwara, Madhya Pradesh. The area is covered in the Survey of India Topo-sheet No. 55 N/3 (RF 1:50,000) and is defined by Latitudes N 22o17'39" and N 22 o19'33" and Longitudes E 78o59'04" and E 79o01'13". The nearby operating mines are Naheriya UG & Urdhan OC. Naheriya U/G Mine is about 6 kms from proposed Dhankasa U/G Mine. Thesgora and Mathani mines are about 22 kms on the western side of Dhankasa Block. Dhankasa UG will be under the administrative control of Western Coalfields Limited. 1.2 HISTORY OF MINING Dhankasa geological block is a virgin block. Dhankasa U/G project is aimed at bridging the deficit in supply of coal partially from Pench Kanhan Coalfield as well as WCL. The report has proposed the deployment of mass production technology in order to generate higher production and productivity levels. Dhankasa block lies between Sonpur and Naheriya Blocks and Jamunia Block forms the south western boundary. North-south flowing Junapani nalla and east- west flowing Dhankasa nalla pass along the western and southern boundaries of the block. This Report has proposed to exploit proved reserves of 9 sectors in the Geological Block-i.e.

    Journal of Natural Sciences Research www.iiste.org ISSN 2224-3186 (Paper) ISSN 2225-0921 (Online) Vol.2, No.7, 2012 Permian Palynoflora from Lower Gondwana Sediments of Godavari Valley Coalfield, Andhra Pradesh, South India L. Mahesh Bilwa * Nagamadhu. C. J Prameela. M Department of Earth Science, University of Mysore, Manasagangotri, Mysore – 570 006, Karnataka, Ind ia *E-mail: [email protected] -mysore.ac.in, [email protected] Abstract Palynological investigation of Lower Gondwana sediments of Goutham Khani Open Cast Mine (GKOCM) from Kothagudem sub basin of Godav ari Valley Coalfield, Andhra Pradesh of Peninsular India have revealed two palynoassemblages are related to Early Permian (Barakar Formation). Palynoassemblage – A abundantly occurrence of Scheuringipollenites along with other common taxa like Parasaccites, Ibisporites , Primuspollenites, Sulcatisporites, Rhizomaspora, Densipollenites and Corisaccites and Palynoassemblage – B dominated by Scheuringipollenites along with sub dominance of Faunipollenites, Striatopodocarpites , Parasaccites, Striatites, Tiwariasporis, Rhizomaspora, Verticipollenites , Platysaccus, Primuspollenites, Lunatisporites , Latosporites, Ibisporites and Distriatites. The above demarcated palynoassemblages are applied to correlate with other horizons of Lower Gondwana deposits of India and a lso to fix the relative age for the sediments under investigation. Key words : Permian Age, Lower Gondwana, Palynoassemblage, Godavari Valley Coalfield, Sothern India. 1.Introduction Gondwana sediments of India can be broadly classified under two main geographic areas like Peninsular and Extra Peninsular regions. Presently based o n Gondwana floral remains like mega and micro fossil evidences can be applied to divide in to Lower Gondwana and Upper Gondwana sometimes Middle Gondwana with remains of Dicardium floral (mixed characters of both Monocot and Dicots) remains. Godavari Vall ey coalfield is a store house for non coking coal varity in Southern India.

  • Coal Pillar Extraction by Continuous Miner Using Fish and Tail Method – a Case Study
    COAL PILLAR EXTRACTION BY CONTINUOUS MINER USING FISH AND TAIL METHOD – A CASE STUDY 1DEWANGAN PANKAJ, 2DAITHANKAR SUNIL, 3KUMAR VISHAL, 4SHEKHAR SIDDHARTH 1Associate Prof. and Head, Deptt. of Mining Engineering, NIT, Raipur, C.G., India 2General Manager (Mines), SMS Infrastructure, Pinoura Site 3,4Student, Final year Mining Engg., NIT, Raipur, C.G., India E-mail: [email protected], [email protected] Abstract - Opencast mining is the most prevalent method for coal extraction in India. Since underground coal mining requires high technical expertise, higher gestation period and higher capital investments, therefore opencast mining is more preferred for extracting coal deposits at shallow to moderate depths. In the last three decades, there has been a considerable increase in the production from opencast mines fulfilling over 80% of the country’s demand for coal. As a result, underground coal mining is still contributing only 15-20% production from 70% underground coal reserves. Most of the thick coal seam is found at greater depth and use of conventional method of underground mining is proved to be less efficient in giving a large production. The government is considering a push for underground mining to extract deep-seated coal to boost coal production but is facing challenges of resources and lack of machinery. One of the ways that can boost underground coal mining is through a piece of equipment called a continuous miner. It requires less investment and can work in difficult conditions, even in the absence of a long stretch of continuous deposition. This paper discusses the Mass Production Technology used in Pinoura Mines of Johilla area of South Eastern Coalfields Limited with depillaring by Fish and Tail method using Continuous Miner.
