near village-Mandla, Tehsil-Sojat City, District-Pali, Rajasthan over an area of 1000 Ha. Mining is proposed by semi-mechanized opencast method. The Mineral is lying on the sub surface therefore opencast mining has been obvious choice. The Bench parameters shall be for mineral 1. Height-3-6m 2.Width- More than 3-6m. The main operation shall be digging, cutting and the transportation by trucks. The Mineral trucks are to be loaded Crane/manually.
(iii) Need for the project and its importance to the Country and or Region Rajasthan is the third largest producer of limestone in the country after Madhya Pradesh and Andhra Pradesh. The state is geologically so endowed that it has become a veritable repository of minerals i.e. Limestone. Mineral Limestone is of industrial importance and used in various minor mineral uses. It is used in making various types of Chips used as construction of houses. Uses of Limestone in industry is also increasing as Chemical such as Hydrated Lime, Calcium Carbide, Precipitated Calcium Carbonate, Di-calcium Phosphate, Calcium Hypochlorite, Quick Lime, Paper Coating pigments, Calcium Ammonium Nitrate etc. It is also used in various industries such as Sugar, Glass, Fertilizer, Cement and Kilns industries etc.
The limestone is also used in cement industry as sweetener to make increment of grade. Both high grade and low grade limestone will be mined out from this mine. High grade limestone from this mine is supplied to various end users.
(iv) Demand and Supply Gap Demand of limestone for limekilns is supplemented by this mine and chemical grade/lime grade of limestone is supplied to various end users. It is also extensively used in water treatment, paper and pulp industries, manufacturing on inorganic salt, agriculture, sewage treatment and ceramic industries. There is enormous demand for hydrated lime for making a masonry mortar as building construction
Project Proponent-Shri Rajendra Singh Kachchhwaha Page - 15

material because of the acute shortage of cement. The demand is being met by mostly for the petroleum industries for grease manufacture for the paint industries and for the some chemical process. However, the present supply of hydrated lime is in sufficient to meet with it existing and growing demand of the product, the prospectus of new industries is very good. In fact, these days hydrated lime is in short supply and its prices have also lately gone up due to growth of demand.
(v) Imports v/s Indigenous Production As the mineral in abundance is available indigenously so the import of the same is not required.
(vi) Export Possibility Export is not feasible like Limestone which can be sufficiently absorbed in the local market, it will not be exported.
(vii) Domestic/Exports Markets The mine of is meant for Limestone market use only thus, there is no possibility of selling of the mineral in export markets.
(viii) Employment generation (Direct & Indirect) due to the project By proposed project of Lime Stone (Burning) mining in the area, people get employment. The project directly generates the employment opportunities for the local people and indirectly for the others. The total manpower requirement for the proposed mining operation will be around 78 persons directly. Indirect employment is expected by allied activities.
3.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION (i) Type of Project including interlinked and interdependent projects, if any. The proposed project of Lime Stone is an independent project in which mineral will be sold directly in domestic market.

Prefeasibility Report of Lime Stone Mining Project N/v.–Mandla, Tehsil-Sojat City, District -Pali (Rajasthan)
The rock formations of Mandla and its surrounding areas belong to the Bilara group of Marwar Super groups, which is an essentially unfossili- ferrous and marine sedimentary sequence of rocks of Cambrian age. The rock sequence has been classified in to Jodhpur, Bilara and Nagaur groups representing arenaceous, calcareous and arenaceous-argillaceous facies of sediments respectively. The regional stratigraphic succession of the area is given below. Table 1.2 Regional Geological Successions in the District
This Marwar Super Groups has been deposited unconformably over post - Delhi intrusive known as Erinpura and Jalore - Siwana granites in Jalore and Pali district and Malani volcanies in Jodhpur districts. A thick sequence of sand stones, shales and boulder beds is deposited over the granitic and volcanics basement, which is h llowecl by limestone and dolomite known as Bilara Group. It is again followed by Nagaur Group,
Project Proponent-Shri Rajendra Singh Kachchhwaha Page - 19

which is mainly represented by sand stones, gypsum and silty clays, Keria limestone is a central part of limestone and d olumites belonging to Bilara Group. All the three groups have yielded important mineral deposits. Jodhpur Group is famous for the sand stones, while Bilara Group is providing high -grade limes tone for metallurgical, cement and chemical purpose and Nagaur Group ha s a very thick bed of gypsum, which is yet to be exploited. Marwar Super Group covers a very large area in Western Rajasthan and is exposed in the districts of Pali, Jodhpur, Nagaur and Bikaner. Mesozoic group represented by cretaceous system comprising loosely consolidated sand, clay and lignite again follows the Marwar Super Group. These are overlain by quaternary system with alluvium, blown sand belonging to Pleistocene and recent age. No fault / fold or any geological disturbance is observed in the lease area. The general strike is in NE to SW direction and dip is 50 in westerly direction. (b) Local Geology The limestone formations vary widely in nature within the mining area and consequently there are number of varieties of limestone which are found exposed in the area as under: -
