3.5 Geology and Reserves

3.5.1 Regional Geological setup In Warangal district, pink granite, intrusion into the gneisses, is extensively quarried. Because of massive nature and wide spaced Joint pattern, these are amenable for producing large size blocks and are confined to the belt between Huzurabad, Hasanparthy and Warangal, due to colour variation of the rock from place to place, supply of large quantity -of uniform coloured material is difficult.

Granite mining is reported from Galtu Dubbena Palli, Ambalapuram, Moglipalem, Polampalli, Nagnoor, Jayagiri, Thirumalapur, Metpalli„ Kothagattu, Molangur, Parlapalli and Namilikonda. The region of the subject area is belong to peninsular gneiss of Archaean group. The Hasanparthy belt, located along the tectonic join between the Dharwar belt and bastra cratons in north eastern part of the state and made up of rocks of high grade metamorphism, migmatisation and intense deformation. These granites which are often porphyritic are intrusive into the gneissic terrian and contain alkali feldspar space. The later in parts the colour to the granite which ranges from light to deep pink because of the massive nature of these intrusives they are amenable for producing large size blocks, due to the wide spaced joint pattern in herited to them. The granite deposits are mostly confined to the belt between Huzurabad, Hasanparthy and Warangal. The rocks in the area north east of Hasanparthy strike nearly N-S, with dips ranging from 180 to 280 towards east. In the rest of the area the general strike of bedding in NW-SE with 200 to 400 dip towards north east except for minor local variations due to faulting and folding.

The rock is exposed in the form of cluster of big boulders and occasionally sheets. Two sets of prominent Vertical Joints ( 11 N 640W — S640E (2) N340E-S34°W and sheeting with 2 to 4.5 spacing are present. A prominent

PROJECT: Colour Granite Mining Project PRE-FEASIBILITY REPORT APPLICANT: M/s. K.J. Quarries Pvt. Ltd. fault trading N76°W-S760E manifested in the form of slacken sided surfaces and change in the foliation trend towards South - East Areas..

3.5.2 Local Geology Red soil covers the periphery of the area on three sides (east, west & southern) along the boundary line. But major portion of the area is covered by only pink granitic - Gneiss out crop. This rock type might have derived from migmatisation of two different rock types of a granite material, which may take from magma have intruded through pre-existing host rock. The rock is trending in NNE-SSW directions it is being called as "Tan Red" in the market.

The top of the hillock is marked by boulders varying in size from (7m x 4m x 3m to 2m xl m x 1m). These are comparatively weathered chipping part of the boulderes results in good granite blocks. The QL area may yield a good deposit of granite, which shows uniform in grain size less mafic and widely spaced joints. 3.5.3 Exploration

Proved Reserves = 20,588 m3 Probable Reserves = 12,500 m3 Geological Reserves = 50,506 m3

As per the mining plan the quarry was not developed fully and production was very less. There is no need for additional reserves estimation for this scheme period (2011- 2015) Method of Estimation of Reserves. The deposit exposed on surface hence cross sectional method adopted for estimation of Geological reserves shown in Plate-III, Sections A-A", B-B' and

C-C" are drawn at distance perpendicular to the strike direction of the hillock to estimate the reserves.

Total Mineable Reserves Considering the recovery of the dimensional granite stones from the quarry is less than 30%. As the, boulders exposed from the existing pits and exhibit better quality when compared to the excavated boulders, conservative estimation is made with 20 to 25% recovery. At present the market is improved for cutting and flaming of Granite blocks, even the colour variation also not criteria for buyers for purchasing blocks. Hence the recovery is more than 25% in the sheet rock formation using wire saw cutting while doing quarry.

3.6 PROJECT DESCRIPTION WITH PROCESS DETAILS

3.6.1 Method of Mining In this mine Open cast semi-mechanized mining is being undertaken. Initially the waste such as soil cover along with very small un-useful boulders of granite and weathered granite will be removed from the surface by implementing blasting wherever it requires and by deploying poclain. The area is bouldery, hence small boulders will be disposed off as waste and moderate to medium boulders will be excavated. The boulders will be cut into square shape for good market. The benches of varying size will be cut to produce number of different size blocks (viz. 0.6 x 0.6 x 0.6 m, 1.5 x 1 x 1 m, 1 x 0.6 x 0.6 m & lx 1 x 0.6 m).

Opening up of the quarry (stages of quarry development): The QL applied area is very having limited extent of 2 hectare, at North central part pit is opened and at western side waste dump is there. So the quarry is already opened with old workings. Therefore the applicant is intended to continue quarrying at northern side of existing pit. Later in next 5 years scheme the waste will be removed from working place.

1) Removal/Excavation of O/B and other quarry wastes if any and its disposal: As explained in above para the waste dump will not be removed from the mining spot in 5 years plan period. As seen in annexure — 11 and Plate No. IV the mining will be started at Northeastern side and the mining face will move towards western side. The waste generated during production will be shifted to waste dumping yard. It is proposed to cut 3 m height bench in one attempt. Like that the mining will be done in 5 years. Ultimately the bench bottom level will reach 148 RL. In 5 years period 7186 m3 of recoverable granite will be produced and 40722 m3 of stony waste will be generated. Likewise on an average 10086 m3 of dimensional granite and 8145 m3 of stony waste will be produced in a year.

PROJECT: Colour Granite Mining Project PRE-FEASIBILITY REPORT APPLICANT: M/s. K.J. Quarries Pvt. Ltd. ii) Separation of Primary blocks from mother rock: The primary blocks of 10 m x 5 in x 2.6 to 5 m will be separated from mother rock by drilling parallel holes in line with 6" gap to produce huge blocks. After drilling on 3 sides facing to forwarding bench, the block will be displaced from insitu with the help of poclain. iii) Subdivision of large (primary) block in to secondary blocks: After separation of primary blocks from the mother rock, the secondary blocks will be produced by cutting to required size in the same manner as done in primary cutting. The blocks will be dressed as required by the market (3.2 x 2 x 2 m, 3 x 2 x 1.8 m x 1.5 m, 2 x 1.5 x 1 m), then it will be transported to consumer point. The blocks will be used for manufacture of monuments, sheets and tiles. iv) Production of commercial blocks: The blocks finally dressed by chipping the corners and uneven surfaces to get the commercial blocks with right angle corners for good look and correct measurement. In this area maximum possible dimensional block are ranging to 3.2 m x 2 m x 2 m size. Regular sizes dimensional stones that can be retrieved from this quarry ranges from 180 c m to 260 c m length, 120 to 200 c m width and 100 c m to 180 c m height.
