Lease Area Tons 2008-2009 2430 1000 1400 2009-2010 2430 1000 1400 2010-2011 2430 1000 1400 2011-2012 2430 1000 1400 2012-2013 2430 1000 1671 Here mineral rejects taken at the rate of 10% in mining scheme appears to be on higher side. Whatever material was generated has been stacked on surface and will be backfilled after the pit reaches its economic limit. Review of the Compliance Position of the Conditions and Stipulations Imposed, If Any, While Approving the Mining Scheme: No special condition was imposed while approving the mining plan. Review of Compliance of Violation pointed out after Inspections Made GMMCR- 2017 During Last Five Years: The lessee has not received any letter of violation of rules of GMMCR-2017 for compliance after inspections by IBM in last five years. Any Other Points Requiring Attention In The Interest of Proper Mine Design Development & Conservation and Environment & Ecology of the Area Formation of Quartz is about 12 m thick has been mined. Mining will be continued till it is economic limit. Therefore there are no such issues of any significance which may need consideration. 7 PART-A 1.0 Geology & Exploration a. Topography, Drainage pattern, Vegetation, Climate, Rainfall data of the mining lease area Rugged topography was seen in the Mine. Maximum elevation recorded in the Mine is 105.121m, whereas the minimal elevation is observed 94.044m. The temporary benchmark has been shown on surface plan i.e. 104.789m. (Note: These m-levels are based on the total station survey data with the reference of assumed base level i.e 100m - Refer Plate 3). Trees are not found in or near the Mine.
