CHAPTER-3

TOPOGRAPHY AND GEOLOGY

Briefly describe the general topography explaining whether it is a Plain land or hilly area and local geology of the mineral deposit.

Topography:

The lease area is falling in the river bed of Shivnath River on western bank. Since, the sand area falling in the riverbed, the general surface level of the lease area is comparatively lower than the surroundings. The general ground level is around 270 mRL on the river bank and the surface level in the river bed (lease area) is about 265 mRL, thus the area is about 5 m below from the general surface level. The flow direction of River is towards north east direction.

Regional Geology - The rock and associated formation which is occurring near this village a part of Chhattisgarh Synclinorium and belonging to Chandi Formation of the Raipur Group of Chhattisgarh Supergroup.

In this area, limestone belonging to chandi Formation along with dolomite. The limestone is generally purple in colour, although grey and pinkish varieties are also present. They are compact, thickly bedded and stromatolitic in nature. The general lithological sequence of the area is as under:

Supergroup Group Formation Lithology Alluvial gravel, sand, clay and silt 15 to 40 m Chandi Purple and Gray limestone and dolomite Raipur Gunderdehi Purple shale Group Charmuriya Flaggy and cherty limestone Chandrapur Kanspather White to pinkish glauconite quartz arenite

Group Chapordih Purple, green, grey and black shale with fine quartz arenite intercalation Lohardih Ferruginous purple arkose and gritty wacke

arenite with shale partings and Supergroup Chhattisgarh Chhattisgarh conglomerate at the base ------Unconformity ------Archaean Granite

Local Geology: River & Drainage - The lease area forms the river bed of Shivnath River which flow towards north east direction.

Transportation of Sand - The sand is not a insitu materials but being carried out by flowing water during the monsoon every year from various catchment areas of the river and getting accumulated at convenient locations like bends, escarpments etc. and as such the sand of the lease area is a carried material brought from various locations and getting accumulated at convenient places in the flow direction of the River. The size of the accumulated sand varies due to the time factor taken by the river as well as the quantity of flow water. The depositions normally take place on winding course (bends)/meanders/loops/circuitous journey (of a river) in flow direction. Normally, the flow velocity of fined to coarse sand is ranging from 0.3 m /sec to 0.6 m /sec respectively.

The maximum and minimum width of River bed is about 229 m and 204 m respectively and the maximum and minimum width of the mining lease area is about 117 m and 75 m respectively. * * * * *

CHAPTER-4

RESERVES

Give estimates of geological reserves alongwith grade under proved, probable and possible categories by standard method of estimation supported by analytical data.

The lease area is 70,000 sqm and the thickness of the sand bed is upto 5 m (Source: As observed in the field), but proved thickness of sand bed has been estimated upto 3 m (as observed in the field in cut section / pits) and below this, further 2 m thickness has been considered as probable thickness.

The parameters considered for reserve estimation are as under: a. The general surface level of the lease area is 265 mRL. b. Detailed geological mapping has been done on 1:1,000 scale. c. The topographical mapping was carried out at 1 m contour intervals. d. The process of accumulation of sand is a continuation process in every year during rainy season in this area due to its location being an embankment. e. The reserve has been estimated by area of influence method. f. The proved thickness has been considered as 3 m and the resources has been comes under proved mineral resources. g. The probable thickness has been considered as 2 m and the resources has been comes under probable mineral resources. h. The B.D. of sand (ordinary) has been considered as 1.7. i. The lease area has been surveyed on dated 12/10/2015. j. The reserve of river bed can be estimated by the available sand area in the total lease area and multiplied by the average estimated thickness of sand bed observed by number of locations.

Total Mineral Resources area as under:

(i) Proved Mineral Resources : The lease area is 70,000 sq m and thickness of ordinary sand is considering 3 m from surface. Hence, the estimation of total mineral resources is as under:

Sand bearing area Thickness of Volume B.D. Tonnage sand bed (sqm) (cum) (T) (m)

70,000 3 2,10,000 1.7 3,57,000

Page 7 of 13

MINING PLAN OF DANIKOKDI SAND MINE (ORDINARY) AREA - 7.0 Ha. (ON SHIVNATH RIVER) Gram Panchayat Danikokdi, Tehsil – Dhamdha, District – Durg (C.G.)

(ii) Probable Mineral Resources : Further 2 m thickness has been considered for this category. Hence, the estimation of total mineral resources is as under:

Sand bearing area Thickness of Volume B.D. Tonnage sand bed (sqm) (cum) (T) (m)

70,000 2 1,40,000 1.7 2,38,000

The estimation of blocked out resources: The lease area is 10 m away from the river bank on the western side of the Shivnath River and about 10 m influence as safety barrier from the main stream will be left, where mining operation will restricted. Hence, 10 m influence area from the main stream line has been considered as safety zone or non mining zone.

The estimation of blocked out resources is as under:

Area(sqm) Thickness (m) Volume (cum) B.D. Reserve (T)

7,970 3 23,910 1.7 40,467

Thus, the reserve and resources of sand (ordinary) is as under:

Category Total Resources Blocked Resources Mineable Reserve 2,10,000 cum 23,910 cum 1,86,090 cum Proved (3,57,000 T) (40,467 T) (3,16,353 T) 1,40,000 cum Probable ------(2,38,000 T)

Anticipated Life of the Mine:

The Proved Mineral reserves (category 111) of ordinary sand is 3,16,353 tonnes (1,86,090 cum) and the proposed production rate of about 85,000 tonnes (50,000 cum) per year. Due to continues sand deposition in the area during rainy season there will not be much depletion in the reserve of sand, hence reserve is likely to be remain same every year and in future also.

CHAPTER- 5 (a) DEVELOPMENT AND PRODUCTION PROGRAMME

Maximum depth of removal of ordinary sand/bajri (3 mtrs from surface or up to water table/bed rock whichever is less)

Maximum depth of removal of sand will be considered 3 m from the surface level.

Outline briefly, year wise development and production for first five years including precautions to be observed to prevent haphazard excavation of pit, scattering of waste and sub-grade mineral and avoidable loss of mineral in ground.

The five years of the mining plan period will be 2015-16 to 2019-20.

The proposed method of mining was open-cast manual. The mining and loading will be carried out manually. The sand will be extracted by phased manner, two stages maintaining pit slope at about 300.

The sand will be accumulated by labours in the convenient place and directly loaded into truck/tipper/dumpers.

Since, there will not be pit formation, hence development of pit is not considered and sand is deposited directly in every monsoon. As mentioned previously, lease area located within the river bed and there will be continuous deposition in the area every year during monsoon and sand will get refilled wherever mined out area during the year. So the mining activity need not be properly lined out as seen the other mineral cases. In the case of sand mining, the mined out areas will get refilled during monsoon and again mining can be carried out in same location.

Since, mining will not be possible during rainy season; the working will be carried out only about 8 months and working days considered as max. 240 days in a year.

No drilling and blasting is required, since the sand is a loose / semi-compact / incompact formation. The production of sand has been proposed to about 68,000 tonnes (40,000 cum) per annum.

Total lease area is 70,000 sq m (7.0 Ha), out of which 7,970 sqm area is restricted / blocked out zone, thus the available area for mining will be 70,000 – 7,970 = 62,030 sqm (6.203 Ha).

Total mineable reserves of sand is 1,86,090 cu m (3,16,353 T), thus per hectare about 30,000 cum (51,000 T) sand is available for extraction.

Hence, about 30,000 cu m per hectare sand extraction can be done or 1,86,090 cu m in the workable lease area as and when required depend on market demand.

MINING PLAN OF DANIKOKDI SAND MINE (ORDINARY) AREA - 7.0 Ha. (ON SHIVNATH RIVER) Gram Panchayat Danikokdi, Tehsil – Dhamdha, District – Durg (C.G.)

Considering the replenishment of sand and available reserve, about 50,000 cum (85,000 T) sand can be safely extracted per year.

Annually 50,000 cum (85,000 T) in 6.203 Ha area or say 8,060 cum (13,702 T) sand per hectare per year can be extract from this site.

Haulage and Transporting:

For transportation of loadable sand from lease area to consumers, mostly 6 cum capacity dumpers/tippers will be utilized.

ROM

1 Production during a year 50,000 cum

2 Excavation per day (taking 240 days) 208 cum

3 Dumper capacity 6 cum

4 One dumper can carry (as safety measures) 5 cum

5 Nos. of trips required per day (208 / 5 = 41.6) Say 42 trips

Note: Transportation of sand will be carried out by user; hence there is no requirement of truck, tipper/dumper to the lessee.

CHAPTER-6

RECLAMATION PLAN

Describe briefly the year wise reclamation plan, giving the proposed plantation programme, scope of backfilling of worked out pit.

The river bed material normally consists of sand (< 2 mm size), small gravels (> 2mm < 20 mm size) and gravels (>200 mm size). These materials comes down mostly rolling over the river bed from steep stream/river slopes and settles down when the velocity of flowing water decrease at the confluence of hilly & plain areas. The deposition of these materials diverts the river flow in different direction thus forming islands varying sizes. These islands are dynamic in nature and their location is not fixed. The river flow may strike left or right bank of the depending upon the rate of discharge, type and volume of river bed material (RBM) brought from a rain storm etc. this phenomenon may not become significant in a year or two but has its effect over longer period of time.

Principally the extraction of annual quantity of RBM should not be exceed the RBM brought during the monsoon of that year. However, the recommended quantity of extraction of RBM is limited to 30 to 90% of the RBM brought during the monsoon.

Methodology of extraction of RBM is more critical / relevant than quantity of extraction of RBM. Improper method of extraction of RBM of even less quantity may be more critical.

As the replenishment of sand in monsoon season is a regular process. Based on the last five years observation, it’s experienced that the average 3 m sand has been replenished every year.

Development works undertaken on river/stream bank becomes vulnerable due to frequent striking of river/stream flow on river bank. It therefore becomes necessary to guide the flow to the centre of the river/stream. Extraction of RBM with proper and careful method is one of such measures to channelize the flow to the centre so as to avoid stream bank erosion. The other measures are treatment of catchment with suitable soil and water conservation measures so that the soil/gravel are not carried out down from their location; following drainage line treatment viz spurs, retards, wattling, planting of suitable vegetation on river bank etc.

Plantation will be carried preferably on the River bank and also along the road used for transportation or the area proposed by the Gram Panchayat.
