In stretches from Bihar in the east to rajasthan in the west forming NNE-WEW syncline. Limestone of the applied area belong to Nagod Limestone in Bhander group. The vindhyan super group consists of four named as follow:- Generalized Lithostratigraphy of the Vindhyan Supergroup. Group Formation Bhander Upper Bhander Sandstone Sirboo Shale Nagod Limestone Ganuragrah Shale Rewa Govindgrah Sandstone Jhiri Shale Lower Rewa Sand stone Panna Shale Kaimur Dhandraul sandstone Mangesar Formation Bijaigrah Shale Ghaghar sandstone 3 M/s ACC Ltd. Executive Summary Jamuwanikala Limestone Mine (31.43 ha) Susnai Breccia Sasram Sandstone Semri Bhagwar Shale Rohtasgrah Limestone Rampur formation Salkhan Limestone Koldaha Shale Deonar formation Kajrahat Limestone Arangi Formation Deoland Sand stone 3.1 Local Geology The occurance of limestone in the lease area is stratigraphically controlled and is associated with Semri Group of Vindhyan Super. Rocks of this formation Comprise of shale, limestone and dolomite. These rocks are structurally undisturbed & show gentle dip 2 0 to 25 0 with gentle East-West trend having northerly dip. The lease area belongs to Vindhyan Super Group in Rohtas limestone of Semri Group. The general succession of rocks in the lease area is given below based on the exposures/Lithological sequence observed in the quarry. The lease area replete with solution cavities and sub-terraneen canyons .which are common in limestone country. 3.2 Topography The lease area is part of small hill having slope either side.. The highest elevation is 389m located at central part of the area, lowest elevation is 382 m A.M.S.L. located in north western part of the area. Elevation difference between lowest and highest elevation is 7m about nine west dumps and few clouster of small dumps are their in the area. Mine roads passess from the area. No surface water course passes from the area. The area is covered by the shrubs and buhes of Karonda, Makora & Rimjha. 3.3 Hydrology The area is divided into two different micro-water sheds based on the drainage network of Narnmada river tributaries, namely Kavlari and Jhapawanis which are located in Kymore and Vijayraghaugrah blocks of katni Distrist. There is no perennial river exit in the entire area. In addition, most of the water bodies are dry during the summer months excluding those water bodies (worked out quarries), which are situated in the mining area. These water bodies are filled with rai8nwater and seepage/discharge water from abandoned mine works. The study area essentially comprises of formation of weathered limestone at shallow depth and hard at depth. the general ground water table is not very deep and sufficient quality of rainfall recharge is occurring due to presence of good drainage network and elongated nature of the watersheds. The above indicates that the natural recharge conditions of the study area are quite favorable. This is augmented by making use of two deep mining pits by ACC to collect the run off of later usage. 4 M/s ACC Ltd. Executive Summary Jamuwanikala Limestone Mine (31.43 ha) 3.4 Summary of Reserves UNFC Category 122 = 12.0 million tones Year wise production – 1,60,000 MTPA Anticipated life of mine – 75 years Striping ratio – 1 : 0.017 4.0 Mining Opencast fully mechanized method of mining will be done. All operations of mining will be done by deployment of heavy earth moving machineries for deep hole drilling, excavation, loading & transport. The development will be carried out by excavator cum loader, drilling by DTH Machine, and loading by loaders and transport by 35-50 MT capacity dumpers. The bench height in OB will be upto 3m while in ore body have been proposed upto 6m. Depending on the thickness of mineral. The cut off grade of limestone has been taken as 40% CaO and 4.5% MgO. How ever to the possible extent, suitable blending of ROM limestone will be done using the stacker reclaimer in the plant in the best interest of mineral conservation. The sub grade mineral which can not be blended with ROM will be temporary stacked separately in 2ha. area and shall be blended for use along with high grade limestone of the existing mines of the company or purchased from the local suppliers. No labour camp is proposed within the lease area. The transport of men is not applicable and they will come from nearby villages on their own. Mining Equipment - DTH Machine, Drill with integral Compressor, Hydraulic Shovel, Dumpers, Pay Loader, Explosive Van, Water Pumps etc 1. Disposal of Waste/ Sub grade Material = To be Stacked in south for backfilling after detailed exploration under G1 category. 2. Site Services facilities – As per Mines Rules 1955 and MMR 1961 The main activities involved in the mining are: 1. Ground preparation 2. Drilling 3. Blasting 4. Loading, Transport and unloading 5. Crushing 6. Transportation through Belt conveyor The entire quarry output is transported to the crusher through off highway dumpers. The mine is being worked at present with the help of shovel dumper combination. Conventional mechanised method of mining process involving drilling and blasting is employed at Bamangaon and Mehgaon limestone Mines. It deploys deep hole controlled blasting practices and wet drilling arrangements and dust collector for 5 M/s ACC Ltd. Executive Summary Jamuwanikala Limestone Mine (31.43 ha) effective dust suppression / collection during drilling. The mines are developed in 6 benches for systematic mining of mineral. 115mm drills perform drilling. The mining method followed at both the mine blocks is given in following. Top Soil Removal Storage of Top S oil Drilling and Blasting for Loosening of Waste Rock and Waste Rock Dump Yard waste rock Removal Drilling and Blasting for Limestone Loosening Excavation of Limestone & Dumper Loading Sent to Cement Plant 4.1 Mining Method The main activity involved in the mining area: 1. Ground preparation 2. Drilling 3. Blasting 4. Loading and unloading of mineral/overburden 5. Crushing 6. Transportation Miming will be done by manually using hand tools like crowbars, spades, chisels and hammer adopted for sorting, sizing and loading Drilling and Blasting will be done for loosening the mineral. After blasting, limestone and shale can be handled together. Removal of overdone, facing clearing and removal of mine debris has been done manually. The mineral will be transported from mine site to destination by 12 tones Tata tippers. This will be hired from local transporters. The overdone, soil and waste will be dumped towards Northeast and North east side.Loading and un-loading is done manually. Loading O.M.S. = 10t Max load = 10m Max lift = 5m Sharping and tempering of tools clearing the area of loose boulders, maintaining the quarry road, plantation and watering the sapling for afforestation will be done by casual labour under mate /foreman supervision.
