3.5 Geology and Reserves 3.5.1 Regional Geological setup The quarry lease area constitutes a part of Granite and Granitic Gneissic terrain of Archean age. Pink and Grey Coloured Granites, Pink Alkali - Feldspar Granites are the important litho units in the area. Grano – Diorites with basic enclaves of Supra - Crystals like Horneblende Schists, Biotite Schists also occupy the area. These rock types are exhibiting various landforms like Domes, Inselbergs, Castle - Koppies, Whalebacks and Linear Ridges.

Pink Alkali Feldspar is the most dominant rock type in the area with variations in grain size, scattered outcrops of Migmatites containing Neosomes of medium to Coarse - Grained Grey Alkali Feldspar Granites occurs at many places. A number of Quartz, Grey and Pink Pegmatites and Epidote Veins Criss are crossing the host rock. Basic dykes of Dolerite, Gabbro & Pyroxenitic Composition traverse the granites in NW-SE, NNW-SSE, E-W & NE-SW directions. Thin veneer of alluvium is found limited to streams.

3.5.2 Local Geology Entire quarry lease area is covered with Stone & Road Metal which is rising up to 7 M above ground level trending SW – NE, the strike length of the body measured 264 M in the area with an average width of 124 M.

The quarry lease area is in the form of dome shaped hillock covered by sheet. The rock in the quarry lease area is peninsular gneissic rock of Archean age and it is medium to coarse grained texture which is light gray in colour, compact, brittle in nature, it is trending is SW – NE direction. The Stone and Metal can be extracted from the rock available in the quarry lease area which is useful in construction purposes.

3.5.3 Exploration 1) Present Status: The present quarry lease area under mining activity since 2002 for stone and metal covering an area about 1.8797 ha, with depth 30m approximately 27,996 cum stone and metal explored in 15 years and 27,996 cum per year. Further It is proposed to operate exposed rocky knobs of portion on West and N-S direction for Stone and Metal. It is proposed to start from East West and extends laterally North-South part of the quarry lase area by establishing benches. The bench height in the quarry lease area is ranging from 6,10,14,18meters. The quarry is extending though out of the lease area. Stone Metal is exposed throughout the quarry lease area inf form of boulder and part of pediplain terrain from ground surface to 10m elevation.

M/S. SCR Nirman Pvt Ltd, Stone & Metal Quarry PRE-FEASIBILITY REPORT

Stone and Metal is exposed to 40 meters as is visible in the working area and the same has been considered under proved category. Evidences of depth persistence further to a depth of another 20 meters considered for probable reserves. Based on the topography further 20 meters considered for possible reserves.

2) Future Programme: The proposed quarry lease area was under operation with opencast semi- mechanized method is adopted for quarrying and simultaneously developing multiple benches. Overburden consists of thin to thick soil cover and weathered granite rock which is of no use and is a waste. The applicant wishes to carry out excavations and conduct regular quarrying operations in systematic manner. In present, proposed quarry area will be adopted same methodology in quarry operation.

3.5.4 Reserves The Geological traverses in the quarry and the study exposures in the vicinity of quarries facilitated to access the shape and size of the deposit in the area. It is a sheet deposit rising 7 M above ground level within the quarry lease area (The lowest contour is 170 M and highest contour is 170 M). The surface of sheet rock is wavy and irregular.The deposit in the quarry lease will last for a period of around 15 years and life of the quarry.

The reserves of the stone and metal have been computed based on the cross- section method. A total of 3 cross-section where drawn based on the geological studies and rock exposures. The area of Stone and Metal was measured in each of these cross-sections and multiplied by respective lengths of influence to get its volume. The reserves of the stone and metal are categorized into Proved, Probable and Possible categories. The sum of reserves hidden in the barrier zone and restrictions due to mineable depth is computed and deducted from the true reserves to get the currently available mineable reserves and presented as follow.

Summary of reserves are given in the below table:

TABLE 5.1: Geological Reserves Category Quantity (Cu. m) Proved (111) 2,92,040 Probable (121) 2,61,380 Possible (333) 1,83,750 Total 9,48,170

Life of the Quarry Geological Reserves = 9,48,170 m3 Reserves Blocked in 7.5 m buffer zone = 1,32,040 m3 Total Reserves Blocked = 1,06,070 m3 Life of Mine = 3,80,225 m3/ 27,996 m3 = 13.58 years or say 15 Years

3.6 PROJECT DESCRIPTION WITH PROCESS DETAILS

3.6.1 Method of Mining a) Type of Mining: The method of Quarry shall be opencast, semi-mechanized on single shift basis. Excavations shall be carried out by simple excavators. Bench height and width will be maintained at 6m and 6m each respectively, with overall slope at 60°. Excavation and loading shall be carried out with simple excavators of capacity 0.9 to 1.1 cu.m bucket capacity. This shall be utilized for developmental work, excavation and loading into the trucks. Tippers of 10T or Dumpers of 17 T capacity shall be utilized for all transportation purposes.

Production of Road Metal & Building Stone = 27,996 cu.m. per annum No. of working days considered = 300 of mine operation Total required quantity per annum = 27,996 cu.m. Total required quantity per day = 77 cu.m. per day b) Brief Description: The Stone &Metal is quarried by opencast method, semi- mechanized with drilling and blasting operations. Excavations and loading shall be carried with excavators and transported by Dumpers/Tippers. The pit is developed by the open cast method comprising the following parameters: Bench height 6 m Hole Diameter 115 mm Burden 2.5m Spacing 3.0m Method firing use of non-electrical initiation Powder factor 1.7 Kg/m 3 Charge per hole 50 Kgs Pattern “V” pattern

The opencast Quarry operations consist of four major operations viz. drilling & blasting, excavating, loading and transport.

The main processing operation for Stone & Metal is crushing various sizes which can be supplied to the buyers requirement. The sized boulders removed shall be directly put to the hopper of the proposed crushing unit within QL area at southwest side.

b) Removal / Excavation of O.B. and other Quarry Waste: There is no generation of sub-grade material or mineral rejects. Therefore, there shall not be any non-saleable stock. The stone & metal deposit in the quarry lease area is massive and with minimum weathered rock with top soil. The waste generated shall be utilized for the formation of the ramp and rock bund around the QL area to prevent the trespassers and animal.

3.7 Raw Material Required Along With Estimated Quantity, Likely Source, Marketing Area of Final Product/S, Mode of Transport of Raw Material and Finished Product No raw material will be required in the proposed project.
