Topography:

The lease is located on the slope of the hillock gently dipping towards SW. The highest elevationBrief Description in this area of is the185.0 Project m MSL: and the lowest elevation is 105.0 m MSL Geology: Regional Geology:

The district can be broadly divided into seven geological belts trending NW-SE viz., (i) northern belt of Charnockite group extending further north and east to the adjacent districts, (ii) north central belt of Wayanad schist complex, (iii) Central belt of eninsular Gneissic Complex extending to the southeast, (iv) south central belt of Group, equivalent to Dharwars, (v) southernmost belt of Migmatite Complex which extends further south to the adjacent district, (vi) Sedimentary (Warkalli Beds) in the western part near the coast and (vii) Quaternary sediments along the coast. The lithology of is grouped under Precambrian, late Tertiary and Quaternary periods and the Precambrian rocks dominate over the other two. Charnockite Group, includes pyroxene granulite, charnockite (hypersthene granulite) and hornblende-diopside granulite. While hornblende granite and charnockite occupy large areas, pyroxene granulite occurs as linear bodies in the southeast. Hornblende biotite gneiss constitutes the litho unit of Migmatite Complex. It has a large areal extent along the coast, south of Kannur. Towards east and southeast, discrete metasedimentary and ultramafic sequences which have been designed as Wayanad Schist Complex and are considered equivalent of Sargur Group of . They occur as isolated bands within charnockite and gneiss. Their contacts are generally discordant due to later folding, metamorphism and migmatisation. The group comprises quartzite, magnetite quartzite, garnet-kyanite-sillimanite gneiss, quart-mica-kyanite schist, quartz-sericite schist, amphibolite, kyanite-sillimanite-sericite quartzite, metaultramafites. Garnetkyanite- sillimanite gneiss/schist is widespread in the east, whereas the other members of Wayanad Complex occur as linear bands, lensoidal bodies and vestiges to the West Peninsular Gneisic Complex, represented by hornblende-biotite gneiss comprise of a complex suite of gneisses and granites, representing the anatectic phase of migmatisation of schist complex. East of Kannur extending upto Tellichery in the south, a large body of quartz-mica schist is separated from the other schistose rocks by a conglomerate horizon extending over 8km. This lithounit known as Vengad Formation, characterised by lack of migmatisation, presence of primary structres and absence of high grade minerals, is correlatable with rocks of Dharwar Super Group. Large bodies of anortjosite, gabbro, granite and granophyre from the post Vengad basic and acid intrusives. Dolerite dykes trending NW-SE represent the younger basic intrusives. Late Tertiary sedimentary rocks (Warkalli beds) occur as isolated patches along the coast near Kannur, and east of Payyannur. They comprise variegated clays and friable sandstone. At Kannur and Pazhayangadi, carbonaceous ..2 clay with thin seams of lignite is reported towards bottom of the sedimentary sequence. The Granite Building Stone Quarry Shri.

The basic objective of the project is to have effective utilization of granite stone as a building material in this region and state. The spur in infrastructure development and construction industry has enhanced the demand of granite building stone in past few years. Mainly infrastructure projects – like roads, highways, railways, bridges, buildings, township, Port Development, etc., have raised the demand of building material. Building stone quarry not only provides the building material but also employment and economic growth of the region that ultimately enhance the socio-economic status of the people of the region and the state. The mining activities shall provide socio-economic benefits to the local population with direct & indirect employment opportunities. The project also contributes to the regional and financial benefits in the IV. formDemand of Royalty,-Supply Cess, Gap Taxes, DMF etc. . Granite Building stone is an important component of the construction activities for infrastructure development. The demand for granite building stone is increasing along with the increase in infrastructure and construction activities in Kerala. This quarry can produce max 50,080 tonnes of building stone annually and the demand of building stone by various industries can be partly fulfilled by this project. During last few years there is a sudden increase in the Real estate & Port development ..7 Granite Building Stone Quarry Shri. Shafir.P Pre-feasibility Report

All the manpower for the project shall be employed from the local area. Thus, there shall not be influx of people into the region; therefore, no increase in the population is envisaged during the period of the operations. The operations are also small scale. Hence, infrastructure demand both in the form of physical and social infrastructure, in terms of physical infrastructure will not be very demanding. However, the project would raise the economic status of the people in the region thus the social infrastructure like education, health and hygiene, sports, etc. would be quite demanding. The company thus commits to support the local community in the field of Health & Hygiene, Basic education, Education of girl child, Sports, renewable energy etc. thereby strengthening the social infrastructure of the region. 6. PROPOSED INFRASTRUCTURE (i)Industrial Area (Processing Area):

No Crushing or screening or processing is planned within the quarry lease area. The entire product from the mine will be transported to the Crushing & Screening plant located outside the lease area. Existing road shall be strengthened & made use for the transportation. As the mining equipment are all diesel powered there is no need for external power. The infrastructure facilities like Quarry office, site services, First Aid room, Rest shelter, and other statutory facilities, etc., shall be located in the close proximity of the quarry lease area. The man power requirement shall be employed from local area, no additional infrastructure is (ii) required.Residential Area (Non Processing Area):

No additional residential area is required as the manpower for this project shall be employed from ..15 the nearby villages. Granite Building Stone Quarry Shri. Shafir.P Pre-feasibility Report
