Soil samples were collected on 100 m x 200 m grid, pitting & trenching of 50 Cu m along with collection of pitting-trenching samples (PTS) and bed rock samples (BRS) for chemical analysis. The lithologies of the study area belong to Gaikhuri and Dhabetekri Formation of Sakoli Group and basement Amgaon Gneiss. Disseminations of sulphide minerals, which include mainly pyrite, chalcopyrite, covellite, sphalerite, etc. are observed in chert bands and metabasalt west of Silejhari and northeast of Jhari areas. Bedrock samples from different locations of investigated area reveal that the Zn values vary from 10 ppm to 0.12% with average value of 381 ppm, Pb values vary from 10 ppm to 0.23% with average value of 383 ppm and Cu values vary from 10 ppm to 345 ppm with average value of 102 ppm. Further exploration work in the area is not recommended because of very low concentration of Zn and Pb. The investigation is completed.

Chandrapur Minjhari area 1: 2000 1.5 4 500.0 - G-3 investigation has been carried out to establish copper and associated mineralisation. The basemetal mineralisation (Cu+Au) is confined to en- echelon dilational quartz veins stretching for 3.0 km strike length. The trend of the quartz reef changes from N15oW-S15oE in the northern part to N10oE- S10 o W in the southern part. The width of quartz vein varies from 2 m to 30 m and maximum length of individual exposure is about 1 km. Chemical results of five core samples from borehole (MHCM-3) showed good copper concentration with a maximum value up to 0.57%. Drilling in two different surface levels indicated deeper oxidation characteristics and deep seated mineralisation. In the first borehole (MMHCM- 1) two mineralised zones were identified i.e. Zone-1 from 78.00 m to 83.75 m with 0.23% Cu and Zone-II from 92.25 m to 98.55 m with 0.20% Cu. In the borehole (MHCM-2) two mineralised zones can be demarcated i.e. Zone-1 from 63.5 m to 66.5 m with 0.23% Cu and Zone-II from 67.80 m to 69.00 m with 0.20% Cu. In the borehole (MHCM-3) again two mineralised zones can be demarcated based on chemical results.i.e.Zone-I from 129.20 m to 136.20 m with 0.50% Cu and Zone-II from 142.95 m to 145.05 m with 0.43% Cu. The investigation will be continued in FS 2016-17.

Gold Gondia Ghotitola & 1:12500 5 0 - - 5 5 G-4 stage investigation was carried Bothli,etc. out around Ghotitola, Bothli, area 1:2000 1 - - - Mendki, Ghatbori Teli and Ghatbori Kheri villages with an objective to assess gold and basemetal mineralisation. Primary sulphides such as chalcopyrite and pyrite are observed in fresh outcrop. Secondary sulphides like bornite (?) and covellite are found, whereas malachite is present as surface smears. Amphibolite also shows malachite stains at certain places. Petrographic studies of metapyroxenite reveal that the pyroxenes are altered to amphiboles along their cleavage plane due to addition of water in the system, indicating hydrothermal activity. In some relict pyroxenes of meta- pyroxenite, sulphide minerals are found deposited along these cleavages and fractures. Ore microscopic studies of meta- pyroxenite reveal that sulphides viz. (descending order of abundance) chalcopyrite, pyrite, sphalerite, covellite and pentlandite occur as fine disseminations. Ilmenite surroun- ded by sphene is also observed. Out of 23 bedrock samples analysed, only 08 samples (metapyroxenite) show presence of Au; its concentration varies from 30 ppb to 130 ppb. Cu concentration varies from 1000 ppm to 0.15%. The Au value in all the soil samples and trench samples analysed is below detection limit. The analytical results show that metapyroxenite of Ghotitola does not carry any significant anomaly of Au. Overall nature of mineralisation is very sporadic and it is restricted to a few patches within the metapyroxenite. Therefore, this prospect does not seem to be encouraging. Exploration work has been completed. (Contd.)

Sindhudurg Kudal-Kasal 1:12500 - 7 0 - 189 G-4 stage investigation was carried Kunkavle out with reconnaissance survey for Vagde Gold, PGE, Ni and Cr in Precamb- rian terrain of Kudal-Kasal- Kunkavale-Vagde areas with the objective to target causative bodies for Au, PGE, Ni and Cr anomalies brought out by geochemical sampling in the period from 2001 to 2003. This was a two-year item initiated in 2014-15. The area is located in 4 blocks namely, i) Kudal ii) Kunkavale-A iii) Kunkavale-B and iv) Kunkavale-C. Based on the analytical data (PGE, Au, Ni & Cr) available for all the four blocks, significant results for Au, Ni & Cr are obtained only from Kudal block and PGE from Kunkavale-A block. In Kudal block, Au value varies from < 25 (below detection limit) to 62 ppb. The maximum value of gold (62 ppb) was recorded in a sample (BRS) from Banded Iron Formation (BIF). The other higher values of 43 ppb and 36 ppb of Au are from laterite and BIF respectively in the same block. Twelve BRS from Kudal block have Cr values >500 ppm and 3 BRS have Ni >300 ppm. The highest value of Ni is 988 ppm in BRS and 996 ppm in SSS, whereas the highest value of Cr is 3070 ppm in BRS and 3292 ppm in SSS in Kudal block. The causative body for higher values of Cr and Ni in Kudal block is curvilinear mafic-ultramafic body. In Kunkavale-A block, the causative body for higher values of PGE is laterite which may be underlain by ultramafic rocks. Based on the analytical results of BRS and SSS, the outline of the causative mafic- ultramafic body has been demarcated. In SEM-EDX studies native Au, pyrite, arsenopyrite, Ni-phases have been identified which confirm the results of chemical analysis.

Some mafic enclaves of amphibolite are observed within the gneissic rock near Amboli village. Scheelite is observed in quartz- tourmaline vein under UV lamp southwest of Village Amboli. All the lithounits such as quartz-tourmaline vein, quartz vein and pegmatite vein observed in the study area are mapped on 1:5000 scale. Bedrock samples and pitting & trenching samples of quartz- tourmaline vein south-east of Amboli village were studied and checked under UV lamp. Towards south-east of Village Amboli bedrock samples of quartz-tourmaline vein give W values of 339 ppm. Whereas the highest W value so far recorded is 530 ppm from bedrock sample of quartz. Pitting and trenching samples of quartz- tourmaline vein of the Village Amboli give maximum W value of 322 ppm. Scout drilling is carried out towards south-west of Amboli village. From 29.10 m to 45.50 m highly altered quartz-biotite schist with fragmented quartz vein occurring intermittently was observed. Quartz-mica schist is encountered up to a depth of 64.80 m. From 64.80 m to 73.40 m compact quartz-chlorite mica schist having little tourmaline is also observed. In this zone, scheelite is encountered under UV lamp. From 73.40 m to 107.10 m biotite-rich quartz-mica schist is observed which is devoid of mineralisation under UV lamp but at places dark-coloured metallic lustre is encountered. From 107.10 m to 113.20 m compact quartz-mica schist having tourmaline is observed. In this zone along boundary of quartz crystal, scheelite is observed under UV lamp. Beyond this depth only quartz-mica schist is observed but no scheelite is encountered under UV lamp. Borehole analytical data were awaited. The investigation is completed. (Contd.)

REE/RM Nagpur Sausar mobile - - - - - G-4 stage regional investigation of belt REE & RM in the pegmatite bodies in Sausar Mobile Belt and Tirodi biotite gneiss has been covered by detailed mapping. The main litho-type exposed in the area is Tirodi biotite gneiss (TBG), amphibolite, foliated granite, pegmatite and quartz vein ± epidote vein. Pegmatites are of early and late phase and occur as intrusive bodies along and across the bedding/ foliation planes of the TBG. Pegmatites are coarse to blocky in appearance with well-developed graphic texture in some locations. They are essentially composed of quartz, feldspars (mainly K feldspar), and muscovite with or without garnet, tourmaline and beryl. In some complex pegmatites, k-feldspar, beryl, tourmaline and mica commonly occur in larger crystals than associated minerals. A total of 100 BRS, 40 PS and 25 PTS samples have been collected and submitted to respective laboratories. The quartz present here has been marked for wolframite mineralization as indicated by rock colour, weathering colour and high density. The weathering colour is typically yellow. A typical black and greyish black colour with metallic lustre is marked within both light pink-coloured as well as greyish green- coloured quartz. The width of the body is approximately 45 m and length is around 3.5 km. Interpretation of geochemical data for REE and RM was carried out. The highest concentration of £REE 18.91% is found in the talus sample from east of Bandra village. Both LREE and HREE are higher in this SSS. In talus sample maximum concentration of £REE 16.8% is found 1.5 km east of Bandra village. 18 SSS yielded £REE 1%. The talus sample from east of Bandra has the highest concentrations of Nb and Ta i.e. 8145 ppm and 9439 ppm, respectively. The exploration has been completed. (Contd.)
