PROJECT: Colour Granite Mining Project PRE-FEASIBILITY REPORT APPLICANT: M/s. K.J. Quarries Pvt. Ltd. 1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1.1 Introduction The proposed mining lease area of 2.0 ha in Survey No. 266 of Jayagiri Village, Hasanparthy Mandal, Warangal District was granted to M/s. K.J. Quarries Pvt. Ltd. for a period of 20 years by Department of Mines and Geology, Hyderabad (Proceedings no. 13541/R6-1/2010 Dated 01-06-2010). India is rich in granite deposits and one among the leading countries in Quarrying and Export of Granite. India has about 110 different varieties of Granites which are different in colour and texture. These varieties are used to produce monuments, building slabs, titles, surface plates etc. The proposed area is not fit for agriculture and technical report from Department of Mines and Geology indicate that the subject area has granite deposits. Detailed study of the area has been done by the applicant by sampling exposed blocks of colour Granite. The salient features of the project are given Table 1.1.

Project Cost Rs. 30 lakhs 2.0 INTRODUCTION OF THE PROJECT/ BACKGROUND INFORMATION 2.1 Identification of Project and Project Proponent The proposed project area is found to have good deposits of colour granite. Granite is used as a construction material for flooring, coverings and cladding, making of kitchen articles, sculptures, and monuments etc. Open cast semi mechanized mining method is followed for quarrying of granite. Sri. G. Kalyan Kumar is the Managing Director of the proposed project located in Sy No. 266, Jayagiri Village, Hasanparthy Mandal, Warangal District, Andhra Pradesh State, which measures around 2.0 ha. He had significant experience in granite mining. 2.2 Brief Information about the Project The mining lease area of 2.0 ha is located in Government land. Open cast semi mechanized mining is followed and it has been proposed to produce approximately 10086 m3/ annum of Colour granite. The nearest habitation, Jayagiri village is located at a distance of 0.80 km due South East from lease area. 2 Sri Sai Manasa Nature Tech Pvt. Ltd PROJECT: Colour Granite Mining Project PRE-FEASIBILITY REPORT APPLICANT: M/s. K.J. Quarries Pvt. Ltd. After careful examination of the proposals of the Assistant Director of Mines and Geology, Warangal and Zonal Joint Director of Mines and Geology, Hyderabad it has been decided in principle to grant a Quarry lease for Colour Granite over an extent of 2.00 Hectares in Sy.No. 266 of Jayagiri Village, Hasanparthy Mandal, Warangal District in favour of M/s. K.J. Quarries Pvt. Ltd. 2.3 Need for the Project and Its Importance to the Country or Region The demand for granite increased due to rapid industrialization and growth in infrastructure. So the number of granite producing quarries is increasing in India. Granite is the chief material in this sector, for the export industries like monuments, flooring slabs, Kitchen articles, sculptures & export. Based on the demand of Granite, the lessee intends to produce the required quantity of Colour Granite for domestic & international market. As per EIA notification 2006 the project falls under Category- B, Since the SEAC/SEIAA of Andhra Pradesh is dissolved proponent is submitting the proposal to get Clearance for production capacity of 10086 m3/ annum of granite blocks from MoEF, GOI for the purpose of grant of quarry lease. 2.4 Demands-Supply Gap The demand and supply for the Colour granite is growing which makes a lot of scope for revenue generation. Once the stone is obtained after quarrying it is further processed and supplied to industries. India is amongst the leading exporter countries of stones in the world. The major importers of Indian stones are USA, China, UK, Italy, Belgium, Germany, UAE, Hong Kong, Spain, Taiwan, Netherlands, Canada, Turkey, France, Russia and CIS countries. The growth is continuing and the 3 Sri Sai Manasa Nature Tech Pvt. Ltd PROJECT: Colour Granite Mining Project PRE-FEASIBILITY REPORT APPLICANT: M/s. K.J. Quarries Pvt. Ltd. demand for marble, granite, sandstone and other dimensional stones and stone products is anticipated to grow at around 15% CAGR. 2.5 Domestic/ Export Markets Although granite is a minor mineral, it is a major contributor in foreign exchange earnings. India is the second largest exporter of raw granite after China and ahead of Brazil and South Africa. 2.6 Employment Generation Proposed mining is semi-mechanized method and this project operation will provide livelihood to the 15 workers. It will provide employment to the people residing in vicinity. 4 Sri Sai Manasa Nature Tech Pvt. Ltd PROJECT: Colour Granite Mining Project PRE-FEASIBILITY REPORT APPLICANT: M/s. K.J. Quarries Pvt.

Ltd PROJECT: Colour Granite Mining Project PRE-FEASIBILITY REPORT APPLICANT: M/s. K.J. Quarries Pvt. Ltd. 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.
