Three variants of dolomite are exposed in the mapped area viz. siliceous dolomite, brownish grey dolomite and tremolite-bearing dolomite. Crystals of magnesite occur as patches in association with talc within brownish grey dolomite. Near Ranjitpura village, 10 m long and 2 m wide alternate bands of rhodonite and magnesite are observed in association with chert vein within this dolomite. The investigation has been closed due to non-availability of forest clearance. PGE Banaskantha Kanpura and 1:10000 65 -- 140 Reconnaissance stage investigation (G-4) was carried out to delineate the Kengora possible zones of PGE and REE mineralisation in ultramafic and felsic rocks respectively. The study area is represented by metasediments of Delhi Supergroup intruded by basic-ultrabasic and granitic rocks. These meta- sediments comprise calc-silicate, migmatitic paragneiss and quartzite. The basic suite of rocks comprise epidiorite, hornblende schist and intrusive pyroxenite, anorthosite and gabbro. The gabbroic suite of rocks is found associated with the anorthosite, norite and pyroxenite and occurs extensively in the area between Dhanpura and Kengora. Subsequently, the Delhi Supergroup of rocks is intruded by granite of different phases like Sendra-Ambaji, Erinpura granite and still younger dykes belonging to Malani suite. The mineralisation is observed in the layered gabbro as disseminated sulphides and cubes of cupriferous pyrite (?) at various locations around Kanpura and Pindoli. These could be the hosts for PGE. Analytical results are awaited. The investigation was closed due to non- availability of forest clearance.

The rocks exposed in the area are hornblende schist/ amphibolites, (Contd.)

Sulphide mineralisation has been recorded in pegmatite and metabasic veins intruded within gabbro and in granite mylonite/ felsic tuff (?). The suspected sulphide minerals are chalcopyrite and galena. Wollastonite Banaskantha Dhanpura-Ghoda 1:10000 50 -- 82 Reconnaissance stage (G-4) investigation was carried out in Delhi area fold belt to assess the potentiality of wollastonite and search for other strategic minerals viz. scheelite, REE etc. Large-scale mapping of the area reveals various litho-units viz. calc- silicate, amphibolite, migmatitic para- gneiss, granite & quartzo-feldspathic intrusives and quartz veins. The study was mainly confined to the contact zone of extensive calc- silicate/gneissic terrain with intrusive granite. During 2013-14, skarn zones have been recorded 1 km SSE & N of Siyawa village. These skarns are characterised by the presence of wollastonite
(CaSiO3), calcite, feldspar, diopside, tourmaline, amphibole and quartz. The tentative reserves of wollastonite are calculated as 7,84,000 tonnes with 70% wollastonite content (analytical result awaited). In calculation, the depth continuity has been taken as half of the horizontal length of the body in each case and the specific gravity of the mineral has been taken as 2.8.
