Granite ABSTRACT

Activities by the consultant in the Integrated Stone Development

Project in Haiti were spread intermittently over 9 months during 1977 -

1979 under SIS missions. The project has proven to be specially effec-

tive, considering the immediate practical results obtained culminating in

the present construction of a marble processing plant in Port-au-Prince,

one of the few in the Caribbean area, and also the acquisition of indus-

trial quarrying facilities by investors«

During these 9 months of activity, an outline for a stone deve-

lopment masterplan was submitted, several marble and stone deposits with

export potentials were located, and the possibility for the use of local

stone materials as industrial minerals was investigated, e.g. rockwool.

A catalogue on stone materials in Haiti was prepared. Uses of low-energy

consuming building materials, e.g. stone for low-cost housing and cons-

truction lime to replace cement or mud-mortar, both undesirable for diffe-

rent reasons, were indicated. - 4 -

All this was possible because of the setting up and training of an integrated project team with a proven capability to handle stone development from prospecting through to industrial processing of stone and marble. A start was made to extend this to quality control and marketing of the product. Special emphasis was out on the use of stone ajid marble as raw materials for small scale artisan-oriented industries, particularly suited to the proven artistic abilities of the people of

Haiti.

The project was active principally in areas without infrastructure. Establishment of stone workings will lead to justification of provision of feeder roads to districts where at present access is difficult. Such roads may open whale areas to further development, not considered at present because of inaccessibility.

An UMJP/IPF program on stone technology is outlined with main objectives to consolidate present results achieved, the indentification of further possible outputs, and most importantly, to train personnel both for local development and TCDC (Technological Cooperation between

Developing Countries) work. Much contained in this report, although pertaining to activities in Haiti, is equally relevant to other poten-

•tial stone development projects. A proposal for a Regional Stone Deve- lopment Project is presented. CONTENTS

A.- The Integrated Stone Development Programme (ISDP) in Haiti will enable national, physioal planning authorities to reserve thb¡ availability and economic supply of infra structural materials used in building, construction and the industry and conserve the resources.

B.- The ISDP will enable the setting up of labour-intensive industries with comparative small capitalization. Negligible financial inputs are required to start a quarry and stone production, the investment being self-generating with volume growing as the operations go on.

(infrastructure will however require outside assistance e.g. from government or international development funds).

C- The ISDP uses new materials which form the greatest visible mineral deposit in Haiti and is the first operational development in the

field pf mining in Haiti since bauxite extraction started ?0 years ago.

D,- Its impact on low cost housing will be considerable as at

present only imported materials are being used for materials like cement

which has at least a 50% foreing currency component not to speak of the

energy and environmental problems connected with cement manufacture. E.- The project opens a number of vistas in the use of indigenous materials like pozzolona-containing rocks, basalt suitable for insulation materials, efficient uses of aggregates for construction, lime burning to replace mortar in rural areas, building stone production and last but not least cottage and small scale artisan-oriented industries based on stone cutting and quaurring. The latter is especially suited to the proven artistic abilities of the rtiitians.

F.- The project is acting in areas without infrastructure and its successful conclusion will lead to justify the provision of feeder roads, etc... to districts with difficult access as e.g. Camp-Perrin/ Duchity. These roads may lead to further developments not considered at present because of inaccessibility. - 9

INTRODUCTION

The project started under SIS in 1977 and is terminating in

October 1979. The consultant spent some 9 man/months during this period on the project, partly with the former National Institute of Mineral and

Natural Resources (INAREM) and now Secretairerie d»Etat des Mines et des

Ressources Energétiques (DMRE) at Port-au-Prince.

The UNDP/IPF programme is expected to start beginning November

1979 and to continue for 3 years, the first year primarily on marble and

stone. During the second and third years, the development of industrial minerals specifically for the construction material industries, will be

included.

In July 1977, the consultant submitted a Plan Outline for an

"Integrated Stone Development Project" which after acceptance, formed the

basis for the present split-mission programme which was executed in three

phases with well defined objectives. Most of these were obtained and

resulted in: - 10 -

1.- The identification of several deposits suitable for the

production of marble, basalt and other construction stones.

2.- Detailed mapping of several areas.

3,- Preparation of quarry faces for production,

4,- The setting up of a pilot processing facility in Port-*u-

Prince.

5.- The formation and training of an integrated project team

with proven capability for extraction and processing of

atone and marble.

6,- Investigations of possible industria1 application of the

stone materials and marketing potentials.

7,- Preparation of a catalogue on Stone in Haiti.

8.- Preparation towards the continuation of the work under

the UTOP/IPF programme and a proposal for a regional pro-

ject in Stone Development. 11 -

9.- The establishment of an industrial stone and marble pro-

cessing plant and quarrying operation plant by investors.

10,- Training of operatives to enable an early start of pro-

duction.

The above positive results led the Government to include the project in the Country Programme, to ensure a continuity and intensifi- cation which will lead to strengthen the national extractive industry aspects. It is expected that the national, financial and personnel inputs will form a sizeable and important contribution.

Although the UNDP/IPF programme in stone development is expected to be spread over 3 years, an initial request for a one-year programme has been approved on the 20th July, 1979 with advance authorization by the

Resident Representative. Ideally, the project should become part of a regional project which will justify proper training, testing and other stone centre activities which can afford adequate facilities only on a regional scale and the provision of which is becoming the more essential when considering the urgency of appropriate technology transfer and an- ticipated TCDC activities. - 12

The project deals mainly with industrial aspects and the

executing agency, UNIDO, is providing its substantive support through the

Cheaical Industries Section of the Industrial Operation Division.

The SIS and UNIDF oontributions under SIS amounted to some 1100.000 plus non-

convertible currencies which have not been used up and are expected to

piovide equipment i . the early stages of the UNDP/IFP. The contribution

of the Haitian Government was mainly for operational purposes and exceeded

somewhat the SIS input, in addition to the procurement of essential equip-

ment in the beginning of the project, $40.000 for field vehicles and $25.

000 for mechanical demonstration equipment.

The organisational activities of the project were centered,

from its beginning, at INAREM and then continued at the Secretairerie

d'Etat des Mines et des Ressources Energétiques (DMflE). The processing

facility was set up at the Faculté des Sciencss of the Université

d'Etat d'Haiti with the kind permission of the Dean of the Faculté, the

Honorable Fritz Pierre—Louis, who is presently Secretaire d'Etat des

Mines et des Ressources Energétiques (OMRE). The field activities of

the project were centered in the Gonaives and Southern provinces of Haiti.

At present, a new building to house the processing facility is

planned. The 2000 square foot area will be sufficient to house the present

equipment and also testing equipment to be procured in 1980 in the UNDP/

IPF. 13

Although objectives, expected outputs etc... are contained in the

Plan outline of July 1977 these had to be modified, if only slightly, for practical purposes and in the light of the findings while the project was in progress. Especially to promote consistency in application with special emphasis on standards of performance, taking into consideration the approaches and skills developed by the project team.

OBJECTIVES

a.- Development objectives

to increase the exploitation of local naturai stone through

the establishment of labour intensive manufactures; like

marble products and terazzo tiles;

- to improve low-cost housing standards by supplying the

housing sector with building stone products;

to improve balance of payment thought import substitution

(e.g. saving of cement) and export of stone products;

to strenghten extractive industries like puarries and in-

crease, the employment opportunities In this sector;

to act as "starters" and open up new areas for development

by providing feeder roads. - 14 -

b.- Immediate objectives

- to promote the increased utilization, particularly in low-

cost housing, of stone which is at present a largely over-

looked commodity of local origin;

to provide Haiti with central facilities for training, test-

ing, documentation, information retrieval, product develop-

ment in the field of stone development and technology by

the establishment of the pilot processing facility in Port-

au-Prince;

to ensure the availability of basic facts for the physical

planning authorities to reserve areas with stone prospects

for industrial exploitation, by delineating such areas by

mapping;

- to promote and contribute to the transfer of appropriate

stone technology, whether manual or mechanized, by encoura-

ging the use of basic principles. 15 -

OUTPUTS

Within thrj framework following primary outputs were achieved

(these are more fully discussed under the progress of the various phases)

a.- Inventory of 3tone material including limestone, granite, marble,

basalt, etc...

b.- Planning outline to ensure rational use of the stone resources used

in construction, building and as ornamental elements

C- Identification of rational uses of stone for small scale and cottage

industries

d.- Setting up of industries based on stone as a raw material and handing

over quarry sites ready for exploitation to industrial interest as

soon as the sites have been approved for this purpose. Some of the

sites like Parisse, Morne la Pierre, have already beoome available

at the end of the ongoing project

e.- Technologies adapted to looal needs and conditions, and the esta-

blishment of equipment prototypes

f.- Training counterparts who can assist them in local and regional

stone development and technology projects - 16 -

g.- Market study of products for which demand is high

The secondary outputs of the project are facilities which will act as a clearing house for inventory co-ordination and will become established during the UNDP/IPF.

- referential working collection of stone to be available to

users/archi tects ;

- systematic gathering of marketing information;

- dissemination of technological advice;

- maintenance of up-to-date oard index;

- devising testing methods appropriate to the country.

Other outputs which will become available at the early stage of the projected UNDP/IPF include:

- model quarry faces;

- a catalogue of stone resources in Haiti;

- model stone house and pavement for demonstration purpose. - 17

PROJECT STAFF

Besides the Unido consultant, Asher Shadmon, personnel active in the project included in the early stages, Michel Simon, Director of the Mining Division who was in charge of the Project at the time. In

1978, Mr. Claude Bouchereau was appointed Director of the Project and he is expected to continue in this capacity in the UNDP/IPF stages. At all times close contact was maintained with Gaston Georges, Director of the

Geological Division, now Director-General (Technical) of DMRE, and who was kind enough to second personnel when this was required.

Other principal members of the Project staff includes Briand

Lafalaise, Harry Beaubrun, Marcel Magloire and Farell Lacosaade, the latter recently transferred to another section at the DMRE.

In charge of the pre—industrial prospection was Briand Lafalaise, with one or two assistant geologists, the number depending on availability.

In the last stages of the project an internationally recruited geologist from the UNDP Mineral Project, Rein van Enk, worked with Lafalaise especially in the Perrin - Duchity area. Mapping was generally done on existing base maps ranging from lì 12.500-1: 50.000 scales. - 18 -

FINDINGS

Although the project started off with some positive identification of stone materials deposits, much effort and time was spent on building up the requisite prospecting, extraction and processing teams.

As there has never been any industrial dimension stone extraction activities in Haiti, personnel from other extractive industries had to be trained. It is grateful to observe that most of the operatives that started from the beginning with the project teams are still active in the team and have in meantime trained a "new" generation of operatives.

The project started with one more advantage, that basic equipment - a field compressor, wedges, hammers, a stone sawing machine and polishing equipment was ordered after the consultants first mission thus enabling the project to become operative at an early stage.

Most jf this equipment was ordered by a government budget allocation and promptly delivered.

The project evoked much interest of various industrial and in-

vestment missions active in Haiti. Th* interest of local investors during

the early stages of the project made it unecessary to pay special atten-

tion to investment promotion. It can be assumed if the first industrial

stone venture will be successful, accelerated interest may be expected

leading to a fast growth of a dimension stone industry in Haiti. Three members of the project team have undergone training in

Stone Technology. This tmining was up to 4 weeks each and was kept pur- posely short not to interfere with the project timetable. Further training of at least two of the members will be required, it is also hoped when additional personnel will become available, trainees can be spared for longer perioJs to ensure a more complete training.

Direct Outputs

1.- The identification and discovery of many locations suitable for

quarrying marble, stone, granite, basalt, aggregates, sand and po-

tential binders which can replace ceme-'t. An outline for an inte-

grated stone development plan was submitted to the Government in

July 1977.

2.- The setting up pf an industrial pilot unit where stone and marble

of industrial quality are being processed and tested. This unit

also serves as a training facility for processing, especially

cutting, polishing and other finishes of marble, and at same time

for testing workability.

3.- A most important achievement has been setting up of an integrated

project team with a proven capability to plan and handle stone de-

velopment systematically from prospecting through to the industrial

processing of stone and marble. - 20

4.- Production-oriented quarry faces are made available to potential in-

vestors. It might be noted that considerable interest has been shown

by the international development organizations in Haiti in the ac-

tivities of the project, especially in the pre—investment aspects.

5.- One investor, in close touch with the "Secretairerie d*Etat des

Mines et des Ressources Energétiques" is setting up quarrying faci-

lities and a processing riant for marble production which should

become operational before the last quarter of 1979.

6.- Initial market studies by the project team and the investor have

indicated the presence of a definite market for the Haiti marble

varieties.

7.- The production of rockwool from local basalt for insulation purposes

have been investigated and the first samples were encouraging. A

main handicap for production appears to be the present unavailability

of sufficient electric power.

8.- The introduction of appropriate technologies, never before applied

in Haiti, with special stress on the utilization of indigenous mate-

rials which require little processing. - 21 -

9.- The prospecting during the first stage resulted in the identifica-

tipn of a number of marble, basalt and stone prospects which are at

present under further investigation.

The more important include (in random order)

ACTIVITES

This section deals with the various steps of the phases as des-

cribed in the "Plan Outline for an Integrated Stone Development Project in

Haiti" of July 1977. The more important localities investigated are Usted

in Annex I, giving the location of the deposit with a short geological note

and indicating the lithology.

Although an attempt is made to confine the phase activities within

definite time limits, these are only indicative. Allowance for overlapping

during the interphases should be made.

Phase I.- Marble was extracted fro« pilot ooehiwr in the Grnmnr>+.

area for semi-industrial testing, from Morne la Pierre and from a number of

boulders of which the outcrop locations were known. The industrial tests

were made in the Dominican Republic where facilities for such exist. Pilot

. -ocessing equipment was ordered to be used in the following phase and to

make industrial tests locally.

After much consideration, the clearing of an area to supply stone

for low cost housing was recommended in the Morne Blanc rather than in the

Fermathe area, as originally intended. A model lowest house was designed

and a site chosen. - 23 -

A start was mads with collecting data and photograph for a catalogue on »Stone in Haiti», a systematic sample collection was prepared for cutting, awaiting placèrent of the equipment which was ordered for pilot

processing.

Although scheduled for phase II, a preliminary overview was made

of materials other than marble and special attention was paid to the large

and widespread deposits of basalt in Haiti with emphasis on its use in ma-

nufacture of insulating materials. These investigations were substituted

and made up for time loss in sample extraction and evaluation, terrain

clearing operations, and delayed arrival of machinery.

Phase II.- This phase was used mainly for reconnaissance and

small scale mapping of the deposits with industrial prospects. During this

phase, the pilot processing facility was set up and emphasis was put on the

spot training of staff both for extraction and processing; marketing possi-

bilities were investigated.

These were some of the most important aspects of this phase aimed

at to introduce minimum dependence on outside skill and to show local enter-

preneurs how quarry and processing development is possible in rather unac-

cessible areas even with only exploration equipment, and not using standard

operational equipment or practices. >4 -

In this way, a complete team was trained which oan tackle access- construction, site clearing extraction from the quarry face and haulage to the "pilot" plant.

Deposits investigated in this phase include:

Port-Margot Fermathe Terre-Neuve Trouin Emery Jacmel Perisse Puilooreau Dessalines Duchity Pilate Gamp-Perrin La Pierre J8^ d'Eau

The second phase was carried out effectively from nd.d-1978 and in first part of 1979. Main aspects included a first estimate of possibilities within certain outcrops, opening of quarry faces and a start of marketing investigations was made.

Phase III.- This phase i3 still in progress and the form of continuation will be reviewed in the light of the UNDP/IPF programme due to start its main activity in November 1979. 25 -

The model quarry sites especially at Perisse and Morne La Pierre have reached an intitial development stage for production and actual industrial supply of stone can be expected. Much progress has been achieved at the processing facility especially after the short training trip of the staff member in charge. This facility continues to work on sample cutting and preparation for evaluation on arrival from the field. Experiments in the utilization of stone and marble, especially for the manufacture of

terrazo are continuing, and also in stone product development.

Vtark on the catalogue has been intensified to ensure its com-

pletion before the UNOP/IPF programme starts so as to enable complete con-

certration on the consolidation of results and getting the new programme

started within an institutionalized framework to ensure its smooth running.

The availability of the catalogue will ensure early promotion activities

including the rational distribution of the catalogue, the preparation and

dispatch of commercial samples, contacting users abroad etc...

Detailed prospection was initiated during this phase through

secondment from the UNOTC Mineral Project of an internationally recruited

geologist who investigated, cogether with the stone project geologist, the

Camp Perrin area resulting in a geological sketch map of that area on a 1:

25000 scale. It is intended to continue this work in other areas together

with 2 UNVS ,(United Nations Volunteer) recruted under the UNDP/lPF oro->e"t. - 26 -

Another important aspect started during this phase was the drilling of Morne La Pierre to obtain more information of the subsurface by taking cores. For this, a small drill was purchased to bridge the gap before funds for a larger exploration drilling rig would become available and was used on the Morne La Pierre deposit.

The main features during this phase include introduction of con-

sistency in the operation of the pilot processing facility, the clearing of

prospective quarry sites, the production of the catalogue and the start

of construction of an industrial marble processing plant. In addition,

preparation was made for the UNDP/IPF programme and proposals submitted for

a regional stone development project.

Results achieved in the principal prospects in addition to those

mentioned, when discussing the phase, include:

Morne La Pierre

Two drill holes were bored with the small wiresaw drill, 5 meters

at the first location and 9 meters at the second location. In both cases,

the first two meters were rather broked up, with sounder rock up to 9 me-

ters depth in the second hole. Considering that this was the first

drilling in the project and with an untrained crew, the execution can be

regarded as successfull.

.J - 27 -

Perisse

The first quarry face at Perisse was opened in a deposit which, from an extraction point of view, will most likely be the most difficult to be tackled for some time to come in Haiti. The Perisse white-veined black is a very hard indurated marble with unpredictable joints, no bedding or re- gular splitting directions whatsoever, and an aljnost glassy conchoidal fracture.

Most of the clearing was done by prising and pushing the indivi-

dual blocks with hand levers and mechanical jacks, the compressor drills

being used mainly for benching work in order to ensure better control of any

future quarrying operations.

However, to set off the extraction difficulties, the accessibility

to the quarry site is comparatively easy and the morphological situation is

almost ideal for quarry face opening at Perisse..

Sample—taking to delineate various varieties and qualities at the

prospect are in progress to supplement information on this area which, be-

cause of its accessibility and stone qualities, will become an important

quarry centre.

ft - 28 -

Camp-Perrin

Following the geological sketch mapping, sampling work is continuing for more industrial information of the area and early action is required to ensure construction of feeder roads.

Terre-Neuve

The Dareng prospect near Terre Neuve is situated on a gradually sloping flank and preparations have been made to open t» benches of about twenty metres long and 120 ans height. A major purpose is the demonstration of quarry development for industrial purposes,

EQUIPMENT

Since the identification of deposits advanced rapidly and with it operational needs, equipment had to be ordered according to requires and special acknowledgment is due to the prompt attention both by the backstopping officer and the purchasing section staff at UNIDO without whom the reported progress would not have been possible. The more so, since the equipment required was of a highly specialized nature. Urger items include stone cutting machines, rockdrills, sawing^ff blades, grading and polishing equipment, plugs and feathers, heavy jacks, all with accessories of various specifications. In addition photographic equipment and supplies were acquired to facilitate the taking of pictures during all stages of the operations, mainly for use in the catalogue but also

for training and instruction purposes.

a - 2'J

The general policy in the project has been to start with as simple as possible equipment and where a minimum of maintenance would be required.

The use of such equipment can also be mastered faster by the semi skilled operators and with a minimum of frustration. The project has now reached

the stage where, for example, the operators can handle heavier jack hammers

with confidence - especially for development rather than opening of workings

Gradually more sophisticated equipment is being introduced.

The 135 cfm compressor acquired in the beginning of the project,

although serving its purpose well in the first 2 years of the project, is

now inadequate for the use in pre-industrial benching. Accordingly it is

recommended to replace this compressor by one of 385 cfm capacity and also

increase the weight of the hammers and pavers. The smaller compressor,

which is still in good order, notwithstanding its use under rugged condi-

tions and for training purposes, can then be used as a stand-by.

Similarly, the stone sawing machine was ordered with minimum of

automatic or hydraulic controls. A stage has now been reached where the need

for a hydraulic feed of the table is felt and hand operation appears in-

adequate to the operators.

The need for both these changes came orgaràgally and reflects the

advance made in operator—training. - 30 -

Ideally a starting "kit" for pro-industrial stone extracting and development should include the following; although conditions may differ for other countries and require other items:

1.- Two portable rockdrills with 2 sets of rods in various lenght with plugs and feathers to match

2.- One small 185 cfm compressor on two wheels with complete sets of rods, plugs and feathers, hammers, etc.

3.» Quarry bar

4*— Undercutting equipment

5.- Hand tools (hammer, chisels, lever)

6.- Five different sizes stone cutting machines

7.- One hydraulic jack

6.- 5 mechanical jacks of various sizes

9.- One rock jack - 31 -

10.- One mechanical/motorized winch

11.- One snail quarry wiresaw

12.- One rocjet for granite cutting

13.- 2 vibratory lapperà

14.- One small sawing machine

15.- Portable airdriven tools (for sawing, drilling, dressing)

16.- Shoveldozer with various attachments

17.- Qore drilling machine

Any of this equipment which was not acquired under the SIS project will be procured in the UNOP/IPF programme or by the industrial investors/ enterpreneurs.

Appropriate technologies requiring attention include some small mechanical aids for stone development, boulder and state cutters, especially for stone use in construction in mountainous regions with no access for motorized transportation. Also pre-splitting techniques with low strenght explosives require further research. 32 -

Selected articles on specialized techniques have appeared in various languages. Pertinent articles require translation. For these special budget allocations are required.

1>E PILOT FACILITY

An important achievement has been the setting up of local facilities for cutting, polishing and other fabricating aspects of the stone industry including product and by-products development. This pilot "plant" has now worked continuously without any serious stoppages, and with visible improvements in qualities and outputs. More than ten operatives have been trained at one time or other and have been sponsored by the industry.

It is intended to improve the facility during the UNDP/IPF programme by adding refinements to the existing machinery after the proven ability of the operators to handle '-hem. Testing equipment will be procured to ensure quality control, the present equipment being confined to the carrying out of pre-industrial workability tests.

Production amounted to 1.5 square metres of stone slabs per hour with linear sawing speeds of 4 to S metres per hour on blocks with maximum potential dimensions of 200 x 80 x 25 cms although generally the dimensions of blocks used was closer to 20 x 40 x 25 cms. - 33 -

The almost continuous identification of new marble varieties has brought with it some polishing problems as each variety has its own polishing characteristics, especially the dark varieties. Blooming problems have been encountered on the Perisse black. Availability of special buffing discs requires investigation to ensure foolproof industrial processing of Perisse black which is comparatively a rare and prized marble, and which should be popular for prestiguous uses.

TRAINING

Shortage of manpower prevented a more intensive programme, and it is hoped that the additional recruitment, as per the UNOP/IPF programme, will enable a systematic inventory of the whole country.

The demonstration locations intended for industrial development were sufficient to show how to start a quarry. A systematic inventory as proposed in the 1S77 ISDP outline, will require 2 permanent prospecting teams for at least two years to cover the country systematically. For this counterparts are essential to familiarize themselves with the terrain be-

side the obvious training aspects. 34 -

Prospecting by international personnel at best remains a "record" of their work. The complex nature of a terrain is difficult to reflect in a report. Its transformation into practical extraction requires continous professional attention for a long time after the consultant leaves and a nucleus of domestic stone technologists with adequate geological background are required, even if only to prepare requests for the type of assistance most adaptable to local conditions.

For this reason it is recommended that at least 3 persons should be sent for training in geology to ensure the services of at least two.

For francophonie reasons, training in Canada in recommendable. However, it would be advisable to consider a special one-year course if graduate candidates of other francophonie countries would be available. This would ensure that the training will be in stone technology and development per se. Leaving out conventional subjects, usually part of any academic sil- labus and which may be of little use to the attendants in their future work will enable to confine such a crash-course to one year, and, if including practical training, might prove to be sufficient. A conveniently situated technical college should be found for this purpose and the training programme implemented soonest. - 35 -

Francophone participants could be recruited, besides fron Haiti

and other French-speaking inslands ir the Carribean, from Africa which has a number of countries where at one time or another attempts were nade to

set up stone or marble industries or which have good stone industry po—

tenticelo. Countries include Benin, Cameroon, the Central African Empire, Gabon,

Ivory Coast, Madagascar, Senagal, To^o etc. il- '

Suitable qualification would include holders of degrees en geo-

logy in the technical engineering sciences (mining, ci* il, chemical, me-

tallurgical, etc.) and in technologies; architects, graduates in the plas-

tic arts. The courses could be so designed that parts of than could be

attended by those responsible for planning or engaged in the stone in-

dustry on various levels of responsibilities including mechanical operators,

technicians and foremen. Also candidates from various quarrying and cons-

truction industries would be acceptable for the latter.

The course would be especially designed for the purpose, and the

drawing on the experience of the Stone Technology Ontre in Haifa (STC)

will enable a ••broader'' approach, based on a study of comparative methods

in Stone Technology for many years, on a widest possible basis, entail-

ling historical, recent and futuristic aspects. Preparation of the sil-

labus and the teaching programme should be linked from the start to prac-

tical training on all levels. - *6 -

Local recruitment of the teaching staff, where the college is situated, will save costs and ensure continuity. Practical training would be given at nearby facilities (a factor important in choosing the teaching location). Staff required will be drawn from the civil, mining and mechanical engineering, physics, and particularly from geology and mining in addition from personnel engaged in industry.

Such a location could also be venue for regional UNIDO workshops in Stone Technology.

Planning or training in Stone Technology should precede any pro-

ject to ensure "counterpart staff" to be available in sufficient number and

to enter any planned project at the right phase. For maximum effectiveness

a preliminary fact-finding mission is recommended for the proposed regional

project with objectives to find the needs of the country in terms of stone

development and technology, to review the existing situation in that field

and also select the right types of candidates to attend the course. Bud-

getary provision will be required for such a mission.

It is important to ensure that in addition to recruits from Go-

vernment organizations, wherever available, those from private sector, should

have the opportunity to attend longer term training course or at least the

UNIDO workshops on Stone Technology. - 37 -

The output for training is to include the preparation of pros- pectors to locate sites for stone development; drillers to interprete results in light of stone development requires: foremen for quarry extraction activities: technologist to be in charge of processing, utilization and quality control and also managerial personnel for planning, trade and marketing aspects.

INVESTMENT ASPECTS

Being a novel industry, no policy has yet been formulated on the

type of investment preferable. Since investments required do not essen-

tially require large capital outlays and can be of a self generating nature,

the existence of a first investment, in setting up an industrial plant

is likely to entrain further investments. An early formulation of incenti-

ves, especially taxation exemptions etc., will accelerate growth of the

industry.

The intensive UNDP/IPF programme planned will give the Government

more extensive data for guidance than the present report which actually

highlights the pre-industrial aspects of the Project and is a forerunner

to a programme which will include industrial data. - 39

Evaluations during this programme will crystallize the proportions of private or public section involvement, guidance towards royalties and quarrying rights, depletion allowances, depreciation of equipment and other factors affecting more conventional extractive industries and leases.

A preliminary conclusion indicates that the programme is particularly suitable for enterpreneural development in the earlier stages, eventually turning into full industrial dimensions.

In view of this, it is essential that a conceptual understanding will be reached between enterpreneurs and lending institutions who lack the experience of the implementation of stone quarrying and processing. Fast availability of working capital without prolonged application procedures and feasibility investigations, is especially essential to enable grading of marble and stone varieties which is the basis of successful marketing and requires sizeable stocks. Exports continuity depends on quality control.

Similarly infrastructural requirements warrant special attention.

The stone industry is new to Haiti and no enterpreneur or investor can be expected to carry the burden of constructing feeder roads alone without ef- fective help from the development authorities, institutions or any other outside assistance. 40 -

PRELIMINARY MARKETING NOTES

The marble exploitation component reached in Summer 1978 a stage

where decision to open quarries faces was required. To ensure the opening of the most favourable prospects, preliminary marketing information was

gathered in a number of relevant countries. It is intended to complete

this information during the UNOP/IPF project and then eventually make a

more comprehensive survey which will also serve the needs of other stone

development projects.

In the first stags in August 1978 contact was established with

3 potential markets in the Americas - Venezuela, United States and Canada.

Investigations were commenced in Spain, an important supplier to the Eu-

ropean market, Italy which is at the same time a major importer and exporter of

marble, and "he Federal Republic of Germany, the most important marble exporting

country in Europe.

A sum ary of some basic fact» is given below — fuller and mors

uniform marketing reports will eventually be made available, when informa-

tion will be conpleted during 1980, on the above and other countries. The

information is essentially incomplete and only data which seem reliable

are included. Some data recently received from the U.K. is also inclu-

ded, as an example of a country with a large potential of domestic expan-

sion of the stone industry. LOCAL MARKET

Little can be said at this stage, ai out the local market for marble hitherto very sporadically used. Imported marble comes now mainly from the Dominican Republic ai a cost of $40-50 f.o.b. per square metre. Transportation costs are variable depending on quantities shipped. The nearest competing material to marble are "reconstituted" varieties at $25 per square metre and ceramic tiles ($15-20; imported, mainly from Italy, Spain and Colombia. The stocks are very poor with a limited selection. Re-ordering of same colour or Tuali^y is very rarely possible. Local terrazzo costs $20-25 per scruare metre. The supply of local marble at competitive cos* s will ensure a ready market.

The first production of locally quarried varieties will enable assessment of the domestic market. Reactions will show the trend of future productions, as to colours, sizes and which by-products will be most popular. Demand for agglomerate type of tiles from marble production waste are anti- cipated.

Six marble samples, one of each promising prospect were shown and of these, 2-4 seem to be of immediate interest for the international market. These include the cream sample from Di chit i - Camp Perrin area, the pink from Jacmel, the black from Perisse and the veined fawn variety of Cachiti - Camp Perrin. Prom when these samples were shown around many additional varieties have been identified and will be subjected to market appraisal as mentioned above.

The next step to ensure smooth marketing, will be to determine sizes, and rate of extraction, consistency in colour, and to evaluate possible reserves. Pinal reserves will be determined as sufficient date become available during mapping, prospecting and development. - 42 -

THE "CATALOGUE"

An important component of the project was the preparation of a

publication "Stone in Haiti". The main purpose of this catalogue is to put

Haiti on the map as a country with strong potentials for a marble and stone

industry. The publication refers to historical uses of stone and tradi-

tional construction methods. It reviews some of the available stone mate-

rials and indicates the distribution of some of the known potential resour-

ces according to the departmental division of Haiti.

A major section is devoted to appropriate technologies used and

to be used in Haiti. Special emphasis is put on field stone techniques

which have an important potential in low-cost housing and rural construc-

tions. Also the possibility of the use of natural stone for road paving

is indicated. A stratigraphical table sums up the geological position of

the various material prospects. Las but not least the publication will con-

tain colour reproductions of the more important marble and stone varieties

investigated or under investigation, with industrial potentials. - 52 -

Much effort was put in to obtain optimum graphic material to ensure that this "shopwindow" should make a positive impression of possibilities and capabilities in Haiti, tony black and white photographs were taken, and also colour shots of field operations, constructions, monuments, pilot facility,

etc... Similarly graphic and technical sketches, including constructional

details were prepared to help in the understanding of the technologies in-

volved and to danonstrate to prospective buyers the awareness in Haiti of

the various technologies.

Special mention is warranted of the close cooperation of the

Photo Section of the U.N. secretariat in New York in the production of the

catalogue which enabled speedy handling of the photographic materials and

processing and also the readiness of one of its staff members to come to

Haiti for such shots which were beyond the technical capabilities of the

project personnel. - 53 -

FUTURE ACTIVITIES

The IPP/UNDP program after the third phase will include the con- firmation of quarry sites, safety procedures, environmental extraction factors, standardization methods, and the execution of standard test of the marble extracted.

During the proposed stage of the program, core drilling to prove continuity of the deposit and the quantities, will be initiated and new deposit investigated when a drilling machine will become available for that purpose. Prom first indications, the result of tests on rockwool production from basalt, initiated during the previous phases is positive, and locations for basalt quarry sites will have to be fixed including core drilling of these deposits in case that production will be considered possible.

Availability of raw material for the production of granite and other rocks will be investigated and the catalogue will be distributed. - 54 -

DEPARTEMENT DE L'ARTIBONITE

This area has marble deposits at Terre-Neuve, La Pierre, Puilboreau, Perisse, Dessalines and because of its relative proximity to one of Haiti's major highways linking Cap Haitian with Port-au-Prince has received earlier attention than other areas which are essentially no less rich marble.

Basalts are found in the Terre-Neuve river, but the provenance is not clear« Also north of Perisse, there is a volcanic complex containing an lesite, basalt and fabbro, reportedly sometimes covered by volcanic ashes«

The various stone varieties in the region include limestone at Bienac and suitable building stone at Mome Blanc. At Ennery, a slabby limestone forms an imposing coutting along the Port-au-Prince - Cap Haitien highway and around Savane Carrée the slabby limestone covers a large area« It reappears as a cover on the chalk of Marne Puilboreau« However, the area north of the Ennery region shows sighs of strong tectonic influences. West of Mome Gramon a small dark limestone outcrop occurs. In the Mont Cahos area of the Montagnes Noires, various limestones occur. The Montagne de Terre-Neuve, which extend north-west from Gonaives for a distance of about 30 km, have froat potential for various stone materials« They comprise several diatince ranges which are oriented in a north-westerly direction with crest at an average altitude of 700 m above sea-level, some of the peaks are higher than 1,000 m.

Canyon like deep valleys Expose the limestone, which also occurs as cliffs on the escarpments and as dipslopes. This facilitates the selection of quarry sites especially since the mountain crests are rounded and fairly smooth in contrast to the steep, rough stop35.

Cliffs are particularly common along contracts between the volcanic rooks and limestone« The oldest-known orcks in the area are chiefly lavas (Early or Niddle Mezozoic) with thick limestone formations of Upper Eocene and Oligocene ages« The Uppsr Eocene cover most of the Montagnes de Terre .Mî2UV-> as a thick cap uncontormably on a basemnnt of basaltic and andesit-; rocks. The upper part of the formation, som" hundreds of mitres in thickness, of bedded fossiliferous limestone, is oí" interest. It is less axposed than the lower part .vhich consists of a variety of rock types, mainly in the interior part of the mountain mass. To the east, in the main part of the Trois Rivière Gorge, high-grade limestone of a massif *..pe crops out.

Thin bedded limestone with detrital material is exposed on the south slops of Moms Bienac and on the North slope of Morne Soleil. The latter contains also some beds with less detrital material and at least one bed of semi-crystalline foraminiferous limestone has been reported.

Large parts of this Department are part of the Central Plain, histo- rically known as the Plaine de Goave, or Gualja, the largest interior plain in the Republic and a prolongation of San Juan Valley in the Dominican Repu- blic.

Three igneous eruptions have been reported from this region resulting in basaltic lavas and tuffs, including the nephelite basalts of Oligocane age found Stouth west of Saut d'Eau.

Same of the basalts are massive. The colours is not sufficiently uniform for ornamental purposes

The Centra Plain has large deposits of Miocene rocks, some of which contain beds of lignite. Several beds of carolliferous limestone of 5 metres thick as eg. at the foot of Moms Madame Joie, have an economic potential and further investigations are required. The carolliferous limestone often crops out in prominent lodges Beige, lipper Eocene crystalline, limestone is found at Posts Terra Rouge near the summit of Mome à Cabrit. Massive limestones of Cretaceous age are outcroping the Massif du 0oco( maximum altitude 1766 metres at Moma Bonhomme) similar outcrops are found at Dornend near the Village of Pelligre. - 7- -

PART B - NARRATIVE

1. Background and justification

Stone Technology has only recently been made available as a modern descipline projecting ancient working methods into appropriate industrial requirements whether small-soale or medium to heavy. Stone of one kind or other is available in most parts of the world and besides its local infrastructural and low cost housing potentials, there are export possibilities with very high added values especially with marble granite and other building stones supplied in dimensional units« Beaause of these important aspects an integrated stone development programme is an essential part of physical and economic planning and its introduction is required at the earliest stage in planning to avoid irreparable damages. These include the urbanization of potential areas with raw material deposit«, energy and environmental considerations and the ensurance of vital construction materials as near as possible to oonsumer areas to save the considerable transport cost which often exceeds the cost of the materials. Experience in part and ongoing projects has shown that a single comodity can usually be identified which is easy to develop and act as a "starter". These sore 01 items are based on appropriate tecnnologi«« and require little capital investment, usually they are flexible enough, to scale labour intensivity to the countries' requirements and economic possibilities* Such commodities may include marble, building stone, paving, constructional rocks and other small scale or cottage industries or light to medium lime, rockwood, millstone and stone aggregate industries. Stone oan be used in low-oost housing, road making, street paving, dam building, agricultural terrasses, irrigation channels silos, water reservoir« etc

2. Spécial considérations The project will make extensive use of results already achieved in Haiti in the field of stone development and will thus make a significant contribution to the Technical Co-operation Among the Developing Countries in the Region. Objectives a. Development objectives - To increase the exploitation of local natural stone through the establisnment of labour intensive manufactures in the sub-urban and rural areas ; - To improve low-cost housing standards by supplying tue housing sector with building stone products ; - To improve balanoe of payment through import substitution ( saving of cement ) and export of stone products! - To strengthen extractive industries and increase the employment opportunities in this sector.

b. Immediate objectives - To promote the increased utilization, particularly in low- cost housing, of stone which is at present a largely over- looked commodity of local origin; - To provide the region with central facilities for training, testing, documentation, information retrieval product development in the -ield of stone development technology; - To ensure the availability of basic facts for physical planning authorities to reserve areas with stone prospects for industrial exploitation; - To promote and contr.oute to the transfer of appropriate •tone technology whether manual or meonanized by encouraging the use of basic principles*

4. Pro.ieot outputs

The primary output of the project will b. a working rt*ioaal stone centre which will act a. a clearing house for an inventory co-ordination - referential working collection of stone to be available to users architects ? - gathering of marketing information; - dissemination of technological advise; - maintenance up to date of card index - devising testing methods appropriate to the area. Within the framework of this centre the following secondary outputs will be produced: °ò

a. Inventory of stone materials including limestone,granite, marble, basalt etc. b. Planning outlines to ensure rational use of stone resources used in construction,building and as ornamental elements', c. Identification of rational uses of stone for small scale and cottage industries; d. Technologies adapted to local needs and conditions and tne establishment of equipment prototype; e. Training counterparts who oan then assist in local and regional stone development and technology projects. f. Market study of products for which demand is high.

Other outputs, which will be produced during the life of the project include: - Model quarry faces - a catalogue of stone resources in selected countries - Model stone house and pavement for demonstratien purposes.

5. Project activities

During the first phase of the project a stone technology expert will carry out an explorafcry mission in the region during which he will inter alia, carry out the following duties» - Study ongoing potential stone activities in the area and identify the requirements of the stone centre with respect to organizational, manpower and ínfrastructural inputs; - Advise on the most appropriate location of the centre; - Prepare a detailed activity plan and work programme for the main phase of the project required to produce the outputs listed under B.4.

6. Project inputs

a. Government inputs - Building to house the stone centre as well as other necessary infrastructure - Local counterpart staff - secretarial and other administrative support including office space and equipment - local transportation as required. b. UNBP/UNIIX) Inputs

- one expert in stone technolojgr ( project manager ) for three years - one exploitation geologist for six months - one mining engineer for six monthB - one expert in industrial documentation for six months - one expert in stone testing and quality control for six months - a total of 12 man/months 01 fellowship training in stone technology - laboratory and demonstration equipment as well as vehicles and literature ( $ 150,000 )

7« Evaluation plans

The proejct will be technically evaluated at the Chemical Industries Section,IOD. at UNIDO Headquarters and their findings oompared with governments and UMDP field offices*

8. Envisaged follow-up

If the project results will be proven successful during the first year of operation, extension is visualized. 35 -
