In case of mining project, a copy of mining lease /letter of intent should be given. Project Proponent–Shri Rajendra Singh Kachchhwaha is a private individual project located n/v-Mandla, Tehsil-Sojat City, District-Pali, Rajasthan. A copy of lease and khasra detail is enclosed. Address of Project Proponent: Shri Rajendra Singh Kachchhwaha S/o Shri Shiv Ji Kachchhwaha R/o-Sojat Road, Tehsil - Sojat City, District - Pali, (Rajasthan) (ii) Brief Description of Nature of Project Shri Rajendra Singh Kachchhwaha has been granted of mining lease for mineral Lime Stone. The mine lease (M.L.No.-04/1994) is located Project Proponent-Shri Rajendra Singh Kachchhwaha Page - 14 Prefeasibility Report of Lime Stone Mining Project N/v.–Mandla, Tehsil-Sojat City, District -Pali (Rajasthan) 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 Prefeasibility Report of Lime Stone Mining Project N/v.–Mandla, Tehsil-Sojat City, District -Pali (Rajasthan) 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. (ii) Location (map showing general location, specific location, and project boundary & project site layout) with coordinates. Project Proponent-Shri Rajendra Singh Kachchhwaha Page - 16 Prefeasibility Report of Lime Stone Mining Project N/v.–Mandla, Tehsil-Sojat City, District -Pali (Rajasthan) The lease area has been marked on toposheet No. 45F/12, 45F/16, 45G/9, 45G/13 falls in near village-Mandla, Tehsil-Sojat City, District– Pali in the state of Rajasthan. Location map of the project is as under: Fig. 1.1 Location map of Study Area (iii) Details of alternate sites considered and the basis of selecting the proposed site, particularly the environmental considerations gone into should be highlighted. Project Proponent-Shri Rajendra Singh Kachchhwaha Page - 17 Prefeasibility Report of Lime Stone Mining Project N/v.–Mandla, Tehsil-Sojat City, District -Pali (Rajasthan) Mining of mineral is site specific and feasible in the allotted area hence no alternate site is examined for mining. (iv) Size and Magnitude of Operation Total area of mine lease is 1000Ha. The mining operation will be @ 5,00,000 tonne per annum production of Lime Stone. Mining will be confined to 9 meter depth (UPL).
