Conglomerates with pebbles of trap, laterite, chalcedony, silica and other lower Gaj Limestone pebbles indicate unconformity between Gaj and Milliolitic limestone. Soluble holes and cavities are very common in upper most portion milliolitic limestone. These cavities are connected with each other and this are filled with soils, this soils are met during mining of limestone. Milliolites are mostly horizontally bedded with occasional local dips. 3.6 Project description with process details 3.6.1 Method of Mining The existing method of mining is Open Cast Mining method. benches of max 5 m height, ramp gradient 1ine 16, drilling 102 mm diameter deep hole blasting, excavation by diesel operated hydraulic excavator into tipper trucks transportation of mineral from mine site to destination through tipper trucks. Bench slope angles maintained at 800. The deposit having at a shallow depth no OB present on the chemical grade limestone bed is suitable for open cast mining method. Drilling & Blasting is used and proposed to be used for fragmentation, further blasted limestone (ROM) will be loaded by shovel into dumpers/HEMM for transporting to the crushing/sizing sites outside the ML area. The benches will be kept of maximum 5 m height, ramp gradient 1 in 16, drilling 102 mm diameter deep hole blasting, excavation by diesel operated hydraulic excavator into tipper trucks transportation of mineral from mine site to destination through tipper trucks. The geometry of benches elongated along the strike length whereas the advancement of faces perpendicular to strike towards NE and SW direction. The approach to the benches will be through 1 in 16 gradient ramps. Face length is variable from 50 m to 90 m; advancement of face is marked on the plan. The bench height is such that it will not exceeding 5m in height, wherever the depth of deposit is more elevated topography, two slices of benches will be maintained for the safety point of view. The slope of each bench will be kept around 800 . The UPL is the contact zone of inferior/cement grade limestone and base rock, which is expected to go to up to 44 mRL. The benches of chemical grade limestone & cement grade limestone will be kept separately to reduce dilution. The gradient of haul roads is maintained and proposed to be maintained at 1 in 16. Drilling will be done with the help of 102 mm dia. DTH drill in combination with compressor. Blast holes will be done with pattern of 3.0 m x 4.0 m (Burden x Spacing) for a 3.0-5.0 m bench height.
