1. GENERAL Sultanapur a small village in Taluk & District has Building Stone deposit which is well exposed. The Quarrying Lease application which was submitted to the department of Mines and Geology Koppal has been processed and the said department has Notified the area for Sri Siddhalingaswamy S. Navali Hiremath of Koppal to an extent of 8-00 Acre, in Sy.No 17(P) at Sultanapur Village, Koppal Taluk & District. The sketch (Drg No. 2) showing the demarcated area to be granted under Quarrying Lease was given by the Department of Mines and Geology Koppal vide letter No. DMG/KMD/QLS/2018-19/1234 dated 15-12-2018. The Notification letter by the Department of Mines and Geology Koppal is enclosed vide Annexure I. The Quarrying plan with Progressive Mine Closure Plan is prepared under Minor Mineral Concession Rules, 2014 for 5 years.

3. GEOLOGY & EXPLORATION

a) Local / Mine Geology The Applied area consists of Building stone(Granite/Granitic Gneisses). The Applicant would like to mine only Building stone. This litho unit is part of the Archaean Gneissic Complex.

The Building stone is well exposed in the area. The area is a plain with gentle slope towards West. The general strike direction of the Building stone formation is NW-SE with a vertical dip

Local folding or mimgatisation in the direction of the strike of the formation is observed at places

The general sequence of the rock formations obtained in the area during the field visit

is as under.

Soil cover 0.00-0.50

Building stone(Granite/Granitic Gneisses) unknown (known up to 50.0m depth,

In Drill Hole).

The Building stone in the Applied area is hard and massive. The grain size is

fine to medium. Colour of the Building stone is grey.

b) Method of Estimation of Reserves:

Experience gained in this type of deposits has been utilized.

As Building Stone deposit is wide, Proved Mineral Reserves are calculated up feasible depth of 50.0 m from surface i.e., 448.48 mRL. All the deposit which is exposed in all the three dimensions is considered as proved.

From the field trials conducted in the sector and the information gathered , the bulk density is found to be 2.66 t/cum and the recovery factor is found to be 95%.

Cross sectional method has been used to calculate the reserves for Building Stone. Cross-sections have been drawn with an interval of 50m. Longitudinal vertical section has been drawn through the entire area (.Drg. No. 4 & 5). - -- 4

The cross sectional area of deposits is multiplied by sectional interval to give volume. These volumes are multiplied by the bulk density of 2.66 t/ cum. Considering 95% recovery, the reserves are computed and tabulated. The Mineral reserves for Building Stone are of the order of 27,65,569 tonnes.

Since, some quantity of deposit is bound to be blocked in to maintain ultimate pit limit with a pit slope angle of 600(ref. Drg. No. 4 & 6), the remaining resources are computed by leaving the deposit for monitoring pit slope angle of 600.

The remaining resources for Building Stone are of the order of 15,21,972 tonnes. At the given rate of proposed production of 3,00,000 t/annum the life of the mine is (27,65,569 /3,00,000) 9 years.

Details of category wise Total Mineral Resources & Mineral Reserves calculated as explained above, are in Table I & II, are given below as on 26-12-2018

4. QUARRYING a) The Building Stone deposit is a undulating terrain with gentle slope towards NE and the Building Stone is well exposed in the entire area. The deposit is wide enough for opening along the strike direction.

Since, the annual production is about 3,00,000 tpa ( maximum), an Open cast Other Than Fully Mechanised method will be adopted to operate the area.

A Quarrying plan for production and development is shown in Drg.No.6. A bench height of 3m and a bench slope of 600 will be maintained.

For production, it is proposed to work in the Northern side and advance towards South.

(ref. Drg. No. 6) It is proposed to work AA-DD’’ sections during the Plan period.
