The Rated quantities of Limestone of all captive Mines and vis a vis capacity of Cement Plant:

The Jayanthipuram Limestone Mine (Southband) is one of the captive limestone mine of The Ramco Cements Limited, Jayanthipuram plant. The Cement Plant is situated about 2.5 Km from the lease area. The present installed Clinker capacity of the cement plant is 3.185 million tonnes per annum with two Clinker manufacturing lines in operation and Limestone requirement is 4.459 MTPA say 4.5 MTPA @ 1.40 MT of Limestone per MT of Clinker.

The Ramco Cements Limited is proposing to install one more Clinkerisation unit (Line-III) with a capacity of 1.47 Million Tonnes per annum at our existing Jayanthipuram Cement Plant, KSR Nagar. The Total capacity of the clinker capacity after expansion would be 4.655 million tonnes per annum. The Limestone requirement will be about 6.517 million tonnes per annum. As per NCCBM studies, the Limestone consumption Factor arrived at min. of 1.355 say 1.40. The factor will vary depends on type and quality of fuel. The Limestone Consumption Factor studies are carried out by NCCBM, Hyderabad. The summary of the report is enclosed vide Annexure - IX. The Board Resolution for Line-III is enclosed vide Annexure- IIA. The Limestone Consumption factor study has been carried out by NCCBM for all captive mines as all the mines are feeding to the plant. Hence there is no separate Limestone consumption factor is available for this subject mine.

The existing capacity of Mining plan and Environmental Clearance of the subject mine is 0.5 Million tonnes of Limestone per annum. Keeping in view of expansion of Cement plant, to cater the needs of 6.517 million tonnes of Limestone to the plant, it is proposed to enhance the production quantity from 0.5 million tonnes to 1.75 million tonnes from this subject mine and the remaining quantity will meet from other captive mines by optimum utilization of Limestone by blending.

The maximum capacities were approved by Indian Bureau of mines for the captive mines of Jayanthipuram unit are furnished in the below table.

MOEF & CC has not granted the approval for the proposed increased capacity of 2.5 MTPA since the Mine is not in operation fully, due to lack of proper approach road.

Presently Limestone Production requirement of the Cement Plant is being met from Jayanthipuram Limestone Mine (North Band) @ 1.8 MTPA, Jayanthipuram Limestone Mine (South Band) (subject mine) @ 0.50 MTPA, Ravirala Limestone Mine (Forest) @ 1.05 and Ramco Budawada Limestone mine @ 1.1 MTPA. Hence the total Limestone production from the above four mines becomes 4.45 MTPA. Full Pledged mining operations are not initiated in The Ramco Budawada mine as there is not proper approach road is available to transport limestone from mine to Cement Plant. Mining operations in Ravirala Revenue are also not initiated due to want of various other statutory clearances.

After establishing Line III Limestone requirement will be 6.517 MTPA. Accordingly we are proposing for modifications in the approved mining plan from the subject mine are from 0.5 MTPA to 1.75 MTPA. After approval of subject mine mining plan, we will be able to produce 7.40 MTPA from all captive mines subject the Environmental Clearance for our Jayanthipuram Limestone mine (Northband) & Jayanthipuram Limestone mine (Southband) after expansion quantities.

Presently no mining operations are carried out in Ravirala Revenue area for want of surface rights on some lands and various statutory clearances.

The Jayanthipuram Limestone Mine (South Band) is located at about 2.5 kms. to the Crusher which is located in other captive mine. Considering the quality parameters i.e., low grade Limestone is available in this subject mine, which is required to blend with high grade Limestone available in other captive mines in view of systematic mining and mineral conservation point of view.

PART-A 1.0 GEOLOGY AND EXPLORATION: a) Briefly describe the topography, drainage pattern, vegetati ata of the area applied/mining lease area.

Topography: gm64,7; -4rw.#

The topography is undulating with surface reduced level varying Ad58 m above MSL with gradient from west to East.

The area is characterized by thin sparse vegetation like thorny bushes etc., at places besides local farming carried out by Villagers. And the area does not fall under forest limits, the entire area is limestone bearing area and no toxic elements present in the mine site.

Drainage Pattern:

The drainage system of this area is generally sub-dendritic to dendritic. However the area underlain by pure limestone with wide cracks and caverns, does not develop any drainage. The drainage, of this area, is influenced mainly by the Paleru and its tributaries. Paleru River is situated on the west side of the mining lease area. In the limestone areas, the minor streams often disappear into the sink holes. The Paleru itself merges into the Krishna river near the close vicinity of Ravirala village. The depth of water below the general ground level varies from 22m to 30m below ground level. The highest Flood Level of the Paleru is 39 m above MSL. The Permanent Bench Mark(RL45.64) fixed at Jayanthipuram Limestone Mine (North Band) by the company taken reference point from the bridge located on Paleru near K. Agraharam. The Permanent Bench Mark located at Jayanthipuram North Band has been taken as reference point during detailed exploration work carried out by M/s ACC, Thane during the year 1995-96.

The HFL line taken on 4.10.2009, during back waters of Krishna River entered into the Paleru River, which is flowing adjacent to the subject mine. The HFL is demarcated on Surface Plan, Surface Geological Plan, Year-wise Production and Development Plan and Environment Plan.

2-) Vegetation: The area supports only thin vegetation with some local farming by villagers at places. The nature of the soil and limestone terrain is not conducive and hospitable for effective cultivation.

Climate:

The area experiences tropical hot and humid climate with summer high temperature of 48° C and Winter low of 21°C. The relative humidity varies from 60% to 70%.

The wind pattern during summer 2014 shows that predominant winds were mostly from NE to SW AND SSW directions with wind frequencies of 0.40% and 22.0% respectively.

The wind speeds of <1.6 Km/hr, 1.6-5 Km/hr, 5-10 Km/hr, 10-19 Km/hr and 19.0- 29 Km/hr were observed for 22.78%, 28.89%, 23.89%, 18.06% and 6.39% of the total time respectively.

Rainfall: The rainy season is generally from June to September represented by South West Monsoon. The rainfall during last year in the subject area was around 650 mm per annum b) Brief descriptions of Regional Geology with reference to location of lease/applied area.

Regional Geology: The area lies on the northeastern margin of the Palnad Sub-basin of the Kurnool sedimentary basin overlying the Cuddapah Supergroup of rocks. The Cuddapah group of rocks are inturn deposited over the Archaean basement. Regionally this basin / formation can be equated to Semri series of Vindhyan system.

The order of superposition of different formations is as under: Table No.12 Recent Soil and alluvium Post-Kurnool Quartz/Calcite/Baryte veins Cumbum formation Phyllite intercalated with limestones and quartzites (CUDDAPAH SUPER GROUP) Thrust(Post-Kurnool) Jammalamadugu formation Narji Limestonee (Avg. Thickness- 90 m) KURNOOL GROUP Banaganapalli Formation Shale (Younger) (Avg. Thickness - 25m) - WU* '01 Quartzite (Avg. Thickness- 15m) nfirmity Archaean formation GrOregtit s an anitic Gneiss traversed by Dolerite Dykes and Quartz Veins. c-) -• 1J

riZM C\4" 2 The Archaean granites and granitic gneisses occupy the edge of the sedimentary basin all the way from the southeast to the northeast making an acute un- conformable contact with the overlying sedimentary rocks.

Quartzites are hard and compact but gritty in nature. They are traceable all along the boundary of the basin overlying the Archaean rocks. In contrast, shales are purple coloured, show flat to gentle dipping beds occupying position between the overlying limestone as noticed in the bore holes drilled and underlained quartzites.

Limestone occurring in this area is in shades of grey, buff or white, fine grained, hard and compact with shale partings. The limestone show typical bedded nature with varying thickness. The quality of limestone deteriorates at places due to the predominance of interstitial clay. The action of ground water on these Limestone has resulted in the formation of large solution cavities at different places. The general strikes of the beds vary from. The general strike of the beds is N 600 W - S 60° E to N65°W-S65°E and gently dipping from 50 to 10° towards SE direction.

The phyllites in this area are considered to be of Cumbum Formations of the older Cuddapah Group. These rocks overlie the younger quartzites, shales and limestone of Kurnool System as a result of major thrusting from the east and southeast during the post-tectonics evolution of the basin. Phyllites are intercalated with thin bands of quartzites and limestone. Though, due to thrusting, phyllites are occurring over the younger rocks in Jayanthipuram-Ravirala area, the thickness of phyllites is not much, as the area is bounded by the Krishna River in the south and massive deposition of shales, quartzite and limestone in eastern, northern and southern extremities.

All the three members of Kurnool Group generally exhibit very gently centro-clinal dips varying between 2° -10° indicating deposition of sediment in a basin like depression. However, the overlying thrusted phyllites show a well developed foliation of 45°-60° towards southeast and east-south-east. The oversliding of the beds in the northwesterly direction resulted in strong development of the cleavage in the phyllites than in the Nargi Limestones. Thus, effects of thrusting are more conspicuous in phyllite than the younger Kurnool Formations. c) Detailed description of geology of the lease area such as shape and size of the mineral/ore deposit, disposition litho-units including structural features if any etc. (Applicable for Mining plan for grant & renewal and not for scheme of Mining/Modification in the approved Mining plan/Scheme of Mining).

Local Geology:

The order of super position of litho units is following: Recent Overburden Soil Cumbum Formation Phyllite Thrust(Post-Kurnool) Nargi Limestone Formation Phyllitic Limestone (Kurnool System) Light Grey Limestone White Limestone White Limestone Grey Limestone Shaly Limestone

The geological map indicates that the phyllites, is successively underlained by cement grade Limestone and Shaly limestone.

In consideration of the data collected from these outcrops and subsequent extrapolation of subsurface data obtained from drill holes, different litho units were delineated and plotted on plan.

The attitudes viz, strike and dip observed in various litho units were recorded. The general strike of the Limestone band is N39°E - S39° W. The beds dip at 3° to 10° Due Southeastern direction. However at places they are even found to dip at 20° particularly close to phyllite limestone contact. This rather sudden change in dip amountd could be attributed to thrust contact.

The phyllite being the older formation belonging to Cumbum Series of Cuddapah Super Group thrusted over the limestone and therefore has remained preserved in Eastern, Southeastern and Southern margins.

The Phyllitic limestone is the youngest formation of Kurnool group having immediate contact with phyllite in the form of thin strip as noticed in bore holes C/15/1, C1S/2, C/5S/3 and C/65/3. This phyllitic limestone is not developed further northward of section lines 75, 85 and 95. The phyllitic limestone is successively unerlained by light grey, white, grey and shaly limestone bands. The major part of the area is covered by soil and due to gentle dipping nature of beds, the contact between white and grey limestone bands as well as grey and green shaly limestone were extrapolated only by utilizing the subsurface data generated from the bore holes drilled in the area. The different bands of limestone were delineated based on colour and quality at places.

The Limestone in the area is sedimentary and there are no disturbances in the deposit, hence the deposit is considered as simple stratified tabular deposit of regular habit under categorized-I as per UNFC norms.

The entire Mining Lease area is divided into 9 ML's (Main line) along the Strike each with 150 metres grid interval. Detailed traverses were made along and in between all the cross section lines laid in the area and different lithounits exposed in the field were mapped.

Light Grey Limestone:

This limestone band is overlained by the phyllitic limestone and is light grey in colour, fine grained, hard and compact in nature. Occasional calcite veins at places enhance the quality of limestone. Pyrite specks are often noticed in this limestone.

The outcrops of Light grey limestone are exposed in the vicinity of borehole C/65/2 and S/%S/2. Below soil cover this lithology continues in the area around boreholes C/2S/1, C/2S/2, S/3S/1, C/3S/1,C/3S/2, C/3S/3, S/4S/1 and C/4S/3. While beyond SL7S towards north this lithounit does not continue as observed in the boreholes S/7S/1, C/7S/2, S/85/1 and C/85/1.

The thickness of this unit varies between 3.00m and 28.50m. The thickness of the light grey limestone is more than 20m in boreholes C/25/1, C/25/2, C/35/2 and C/65/3 while it is around 3m in the vicinity of boreholes C/2S/1, C/1S/2 and S/5S/2.

White Limestone:

This limestone occurs immediately below the light grey limestone and outcrops are exposed only between section lines 5S and 6S around boreholes C/5S/1 and S/6S/2. Below soil cover, continuation of this limestone was traced on the basis C/45/1, C/4S/2, S/55/1, C/5S/2, S/65/1, C/65/1 and C/7S/1 boreholes. This limestone is white to off-white in colour, fine grained & compact. The thickness, as encountered in various boreholes, varies between 7.00 and 44.50 m. The analysis of this lithounit suggest that at places this limestone is siliceous in nature and may have to be rejected.

Isf UNITED NATIONS FRAME WORK CLASSIFICATION (UNFC) OF MINERAL RESERVES / RESOURCES.

Type of the Deposit as per UNFC: The Phyllites are of Cuddapah Super Group of meta sedimentary origin and overlying the Narji Limestone. But the Limestone deposit is of Sedimentary and there are no disturbances in the deposit. Hence the deposit is considered as simple Stratiform, Strata bound and tabular deposit of regular habit categorized-I as per UNFC.

Characteristics of deposit: Limestone deposit within the ML area forms part of Proterozoic Palnad sub-basin equivalent of Narji limestone formation of Kurnool Group. These carbonate rocks were formed by sedimentary origin. Limestone beds are in stratiform, structurally disturbed. Only vertical strike joints and solution cavities existing and filled with yellow clay. The topography is undulating with surface reduced levels varying from 30m to 58 m above MSL. The area is characterised by sparse vegetation like thorny bushes etc., and the area does not fall under forest limits.

The drainage of this area is influenced mainly by the Paleru river and its tributaries. In the limestone areas the minor streams often disappear into sink holes, the

Paleru river itself merges into the Krishna river near the close vicinity of Ravirala village.

The general strike of the beds is N 600 W - S 60° E and gently dipping from 50 to 100 towards SE direction. Lithological sequence of the area from top to bottom is phyllites, white limestone, light grey banded limestone, brown banded limestone, steel grey limestone and green shale.

The deposit is simple and general strike of the beds varies from North-South and dipping towards East direction. Lithological sequence of the area from top to bottom is Limestone and shale.

The following parameters are considered for Re-assessment of Reserves in the Mining Lease area as per UNFC.

In the ML area a total no of 28 boreholes (19 Core drilling boreholes and 9 CCS boreholes) drilled during detailed exploration work were carried out during 1995 and 7 DTH bore holes drilled with cumulative meterage is 291.000 in 2017 by RCL. These prospecting 35 boreholes with meterage of 2423.50 m are covering an area of 88.35 ha. with a grid interval of 150 m X 150 m. At present the active working faces are exposed up to 5 benches.

There is an increase of Reserves and Resources when compared to previous approved Mining Plan. The total Res rces established in the previous approved Mining Plan are 73.17 Million to the previous exploration data, in the previous approved document t ated upto 2 m RL i.e., 32 m below ground level as per the f time. In the present document the level as per the feasibility during that time. In the present document the Reserves/Resources were estimated up to -48 m RL i.e., 80 m below ground level and upto the shale contact, due to this the reserves/Resources are enhanced to 98.854 Million tonnes. The category of Reserves also changed after drilling DTH holes as per discussions had with IBM inspecting officers at the time of approval of previous document and also by considering Threshold value of CaO as per the latest Circular. Accordingly the category of 111 reserves enhanced from 17.95 million tonnes to 43.795 million tonnes as on 30.09.2018. Hence the life of the Mine becomes 23 years after enhancing the production from 0.5 MTPA to 1.75 MTPA.

The deposit is more or less simple but frequent intercalations and variable thickness and is being worked by the company since 1989. Deposits characteristics are well established for extracting limestone by opencast mining method. Geological sections drawn at interval of 150 m along dip. Leaving 100 m barrier (No mining Zone) from the HFL along the Paleru. Leaving 200 m barrier from village. In other places, area falling other side of borehole area and the area falling beyond proved depth is considered as G4 category. The cut off grade quality of limestone is Cao 41% and corresponding Si02 upto 18% in this mine. The CaO below cut of grade of 41% and 34% (Threshold value) and corresponding Si02°/0 is above 18% is being treated as Mineral Reject Waste (, . Sub grade). The threshold value of minimum CaO is above 34%. Leaving 7.5 m safety barrier from the Mining Lease Boundary. Leaving 8 m safety berm from bench to bench. 10.Mineral Reserves and Resources are estimated by cross sectional area method and recovery factor considered at 90% and 100% respectively. The recovery factor considered for estimation of reserves at 90% considering the cavity fillings in the area. 11.Bulk density of 2.5 M.T. /Cu.m is considered of limestone for reserves estimation. 12.The Reserves and resources are re-assessed up to bottom shale contact with the existing bore hole data.

Survey Extension and existence of Limestone was well established by detailed drilling in the entire Mining Lease. Hence Geo-physical survey is not required. Technological The total Mining Lease area consists of 88.35 hectares. Survey I) A total meterage of 2132.50 m was drilled in 28 boreholes upto shale contact and 7 DTH bore holes drilled with a meterage of 291 m.

The variogram eling was done by generating parameters like Nugget, ctural variance, Sill and Range. Variogram models eloped in three different directions viz., along the length of QC' FrAltri 1/0/ 4 e bore hole, Along Strike (2D) and Along Dip(3D). MOAN Based on the above detailed assessment code 1 is awarded on Geological axis. The calculation of reserves estimated by the Geological Cross sectional method are furnished as below.

The detailed exploration was carried out by M/s ACC, Thane during 1996-96 and adopted the following procedure for estimating the reserves. The estimation of ROM quality made using computerized C-GEMS software package with combination of SURPAC 2000. The processing data was carried out in the following steps

Pre estimate

The C-GEMS programme was invoked to get the required information. For this purpose the bore hole data of 19 Core bore holes and 9 Core cum sludge bore holes were used.

Estimation

The raw quality data file together with the input give for block were utilised for further processing to assign quality values for each block as detailed below

Composite file: The raw core quality data after validation was further processed to create the composite file for geostastical studies where in data required should be with uniform support. In this case the compositing of bore hole samples was done for every one and half meters thickness.

Estimates: As a first step towards carrying out the estimation, the variogram was fitted. Viariography modules essentially generate parameters viz. nuggest, structural variance and range. These are described briefly below.

Nugget :

The variogram exhibits discontinuity at the origin of the curve due to highly irregular behavior of the assay at short lag distance. Thus, the variography shows a jump at the origin and this is referred to as nugget effect. The term nugget owes its origin to the fact that a phenomenon was first noticed in gold deposits in 'South Africa" when extremely high value due to presence of a gold nugget in the core was a frequent occurrence. The grade passes in such cases abruptly from zero outside the nugget to a high value within it. The nugget effect in limestone deposits could

37 Aev&c.p"3. 2.6 t

be due to micro-structures, measurement error or errors in location or inherent variation in quality. In the case of the South Band Deposit, The nugget effect was reasonably low.

Structural variance: For a certain distance in a particular direction the sample quality has structured/ defined relation with the point whose quality is not known. This is structural variance and is a measure of the influence a known sample has over as unknown point in a particular direction.

Range: It is the distance, beyond which the structural variance loses out and the variance becomes global or random. The range is measured in lag meters. The range is also defined by the distance from the known sample upto which the quality unkon sample could be determined.

Sill: This is another term commonly used in a variography model. The sill is a value at which the variogram stabilizes. In theory this should coincide with the overall variance but sometimes it is not true because of the presence of long range trends.

In order to determine range, nugget value etc., in three dimensions, the variogram models have to be developed accordingly in three different directions. Along the length of the borehole Along strike (2D) Along Dip (3D)

Geostatistical Treatment As a first step in the exercise the option of fitting the variogram 'a standard geostatistical tool" - was selected to decipher the distance of influence of known sample. Science the deposit is almost horizontal and limestone is available upto say a depth of fifty meters, variogram model could be fitted only depth (borehole) and along strike (2D)

Form the variogram data, it was observed that the range along the two axes is different depicting anisotropic behavior. In view of these results and taking into account the geological consideration, block quality was estimated for the chemical constituents by the inv- ----vz distance method.

G2 Exploration:

The entire area was explored with a grid interval of 150 m X 150 m upto the shale contact under G1 level of exploration. Hence there is no G2 exploration area.

G3 Exploration(Prospecting):

The entire area was explored with a grid interval of 150 m X 150 m upto the shale contact under G1 level of exploration. Hence there is no G3 exploration area.

The pit slope is maintained at 45 and gradient of haul road is maintained at 1 in 16 m to 1 in 20. The highest proposed production is about 1.75 MTPA per annum and development ratio is about 0.27 cu.m per ton of limestone from this Mining Lease. The mineral reject sub-grade) will be accommodated in the existing dump yard located at North West corner of the mining lease and the O.B. waste will be accommodated in the existing dump yard and bund along the Paleru in the West side. t7f Cement plant requirement of limestone in terms of quality is 41.0 to 48.5 to maintain cut off grade between 44.8 to 45.2% CaO and corresponding Si02°/0 is upto 18% to maintain cut off grade between 12.8% -13.2%. To get the required grade the high grade limestone is being blended with low grade limestone from this mine as well as from the other captive mines.

The Tonnage conversion factor arrived at 2.5 tonnes/cu.m. Total production proposed during the remaining period i.e 2018-19 to 2019-2020 of the modification of approved mining plan is 480009 Cu.m & 703024 cu.m respectively. The maximum production proposed for the year 2019-2020 is 1757560 MT (Say 1750000 MT)

After establishing Line III Limestone requirement will be 6.517 MTPA. Accordingly we are proposing for modifications in the approved mining plan from the subject mine are from 0.5 MTPA to 1.75 MTPA. After approval of subject mine, mining plan we will be able to produce 7.40 MTPA from all captive mines subject to the Environmental Clearance for expansion quantities of Jayanthipuram Limestone mine (Northband) & Jayanthipuram limestone mine (Southband) mines to meet the plant requirement.

The .Jayanthipuram Limestone mine (South Band) is located at about 2.5 kms. to the Crusher which is located in other captive mine. Considering the quality parameters i.e., low grade Limestone is available in this subject mine, which is required to blend with high grade Limestone available in other captive mines in view of systematic mining and mineral conservation point of view. It is necessitated to go for expansion of Limestone production from this subject mine from 0.5 MTPA to 1.75 MTPA.

To meet the above requirement the following equipment is required. Total production 7,00,000 Cu.m. per annum 2295Cu.m/day(5738 MT) Development 5,17,796 Cu.m per annum 1698Cu.m/day(3853 MT) (1563MT is OB & 2290 MT is Chemically sub grade)

UPL or ultimate size of the pit is to be shown for identification of the suitable dumping site.

Layout of the present mine workings:

The existing Mechanised opencast method of mining using heavy earth moving machinery with deep hole drilling and blasting. Opencast Mining by deploying Excavators, Tippers, Drilling machines and other supporting equipment in two shift operations will be done. It is proposed to mine the limestone with a maximum height of 8 m benches from top 34 m RL to bottom -4m RL (i.e., 38 m below general ground level) during this remaining period of the modifications in the approved mining plan period. Pit roads are made in the Northern side maintaining with a minimum gradient of 1 in 16.

The workings will be up to Om RL and the mine sump will be made at -4m RL. The entire area is explored and based on the borehole data, year wise production and development proposed.

Based on geological condition of this area we use grid pattern with 3Mtrs Burden and 4Mtrs Spacing for blast hole drilling. Non electric delay detonators are being utilized for setting delay in between shot holes, to reduce noise, ground vibration with better fragmentation. With this system we restricting the Charge per delay maximum upto 200kgs, charge per hole is 60kgs and maintaining powder factor 6kgs/MT.

The benches will be advanced towards West and South side of the mining lease. The mineral reject waste will be accommodated in the existing dump yard located at North West corner of the mining lease and the O.B. waste will be accommodated in the existing bund along the Paleru in the West side.

Ultimate Pit Limit has been shown in the Surface Geological Plan based on the bore hole data.

F) Conceptual Mine planning upto the end of lease period taking into consideration the present available reserves and resources describing the excavation, recovery of ROM, Disposal of waste, backfilling of voids, reclamation and rehabilitation showing on a plan with few relevant sections.

There is an increase of Reserves and Resources when compared to previous approved Mining Plan. The total Reserves/Resources established in the previous approved Mining Plan are 73.17 Million tonnes. In the previous document the estimation was upto 2 m RL i.e., 32 m below ground level. In the present document the Reserves/Resources were enhanced upto 98.854 Million tonnes because the reserves/Resources estimated upto the shale contact i.e., -48 m RL i.e., 80 m below ground level. The category of Reserves also changed after drilling DTH holes as per discussions had with IBM inspecting officers at the time of approval of previous document and considering the Threshold value of Cao as per latest circular. Accordingly the category of 111 reserves enhanced from 17.95 million tonnes to 43.795 million tonnes. Hence the life of the Mine becomes 23 years from 16 years after enhancing the production from 0.5 MTPA to 1.75 MTPA.

By considering production from other leases and based on the exploration data, it was projected the maximum production in the remaining period of the modifications in the Mining Plan is 1.75 million tonnes and thereafter the annual projected production is about 1.7 — on tonnes only. The available proved mineral reserves as on 30.09.20 , ore - 'Ilion tonnes. ( t- "vt

The available reserve is 40.845 million tonnes after this remaining period of the Modifications in the approved mining plan i.e., by 31.03.2020. Hence the life of the mine will be about 23 years @ 1.75 million tonnes per annum i.e upto 2042-43.

The ultimate pit limit is assumed on the present production / requirement keeping in view of safety parameters from Paleru river, village/public road etc., A water reservoir will be maintained in part of the mined out area. The limestone is existing upto maximum depth of about 100 mtrs and during this remaining period of the modifications in the approved mining plan period the deepest workings will be -4 m RL only (i.e., 38 m depth from general ground level. Hence no backfilling is proposed during this plan period. This will be reviewed during the next review of mining period.

At present, the mining activities are confined to the 5 benches and sump is located at 6th bench. Ground water envisaged during operations is made to accumulate in the sump located at 6S from where it is discharged partly and part of the water is supplied to the Jayanthipuram village for domestic purpose and utilized for water sprinkling & greenbelt development activities.

But the Lease period as per the first G.O. & proceedings is valid upto18.12.2034 as per the new MMDR Amendment Act, 2015. Accordingly the conceptual plan is prepared up to the lease period i.e (2034-35).

8.4 Disaster Management and Risk Assessment: This may deal with action plan for high risk accidents like landslides, subsidence flood, inundation in underground mines, fire, seismic activities, tailing dam failure etc. and emergency plan proposed for quick evacuation, ameliorative measures to be taken etc. The capability of lessee to meet such eventualities and the assistance to be required from the local authority may also be described.

Risk assessment is a continuous process whereby risks are analyzed, assessed and risk management priorities are evaluated. Objectives of risk assessment:

+ Identifying hazardous activities :. assessment of risk level and severity in different operations + identification of control measures + Setting monitoring process. :• reduce the impact of mishaps of all kinds

ft 4 83 4494"42 reduce the inherent potential for major accidents Methodology of Risk assessment: Collection of information & identification of hazard Classify their severity and probability of occurrence Identification of exposed risks Assess the risk and risk rating based on Probability Exposure Consequences Prioritization of the risks Implementation of control measures Monitoring risk assessment Evaluation and correction

Risk assessment is mainly based on the environmental impact of various parameters.

Land contamination:- The potential for contamination during operation of mine site is, waste rock dump which regard as contaminated land.

Aquatic toxicity:- The risk assessment in aquatic toxicity system is based on the total metal concentration in various chemical form or oxidation state. Limestone does not contain appreciable concentration of toxic elements.

Acid mine drainage:- The mining of limestone does not involve any processing operation by using chemicals. Hence there is no risk at mine site with regard to control of acid mine drainage

Tailing dam:- Tailings are very fine residuals in the chemical processing operation. It is a potential source of environment contamination. In the limestone mining operation there is no possibility of tailing materials since it is not involved in the chemical process.

Human health:- The chemicals from tailing dam and waste heaps may severely affect the human health. The sulphur contained in the dump can make the land toxic which indirectly affect the human health. During Environment Impact Assessment toxicity is nil. Hence there is no risk involved to human health due to limestone mining operation.

Factors of risks involved due to human induced activities in connection with mining operations are 1) removal of 0.13 and side burden 2) drilling 3) blasting 4) excavation of ore and 5) transportation of ore. Other factors due to natural activities are 1) fire 2) water inundation 3) electricity and 4) natural calamities.
