Topography:

The lease is located on the slope of the hillock gently dipping towards SW. The highest elevationBrief Description in this areaof is the 685.0m Project MSL: and the lowest elevation is 630.0m MSL. Geology: Regional Geology:

The district can be broadly divided into seven geological belts trending NW-SE viz., (i) northern belt of Charnockite group extending further north and east to the adjacent districts, (ii) north central belt of Wayanad schist complex, (iii) Central belt of eninsular Gneissic Complex extending to the southeast, (iv) south central belt of Group, equivalent to Dharwars, (v) southernmost belt of Migmatite Complex which extends further south to the adjacent district, (vi) Sedimentary (Warkalli Beds) in the western part near the coast and (vii) Quaternary sediments along the coast. The lithology of is grouped under Precambrian, late Tertiary and Quaternary periods and the Precambrian rocks dominate over the other two. Charnockite Group, includes pyroxene granulite, charnockite (hypersthene granulite) and hornblende-diopside granulite. While hornblende granite and charnockite occupy large areas, pyroxene granulite occurs as linear bodies in the southeast. Hornblende biotite gneiss constitutes the litho unit of Migmatite Complex. It has a large areal extent along the coast, south of Kannur. Towards east and southeast, discrete metasedimentary and ultramafic sequences which have been designed as Wayanad Schist Complex and are considered equivalent of Sargur Group of Karnataka. They occur as isolated bands within charnockite and gneiss. Their contacts are generally discordant due to later folding, metamorphism and migmatisation. The group comprises quartzite, magnetite quartzite, garnet-kyanite-sillimanite gneiss, quart-mica-kyanite schist, quartz-sericite schist, amphibolite, kyanite-sillimanite-sericite quartzite, metaultramafites. Garnetkyanite- sillimanite gneiss/schist is widespread in the east, whereas the other members of Wayanad Complex occur as linear bands, lensoidal bodies and vestiges to the West Peninsular Gneisic Complex, represented by hornblende-biotite gneiss comprise of a complex suite of gneisses and granites, representing the anatectic phase of migmatisation of schist complex. East of Kannur extending upto Tellichery in the south, a large body of quartz-mica schist is separated from the other schistose rocks by a conglomerate horizon extending over 8km. This lithounit known as Vengad Formation, characterised by lack of migmatisation, presence of primary structres and absence of high grade minerals, is correlatable with rocks of Dharwar Super Group. Large bodies of anortjosite, gabbro, granite and granophyre from the post Vengad basic and acid intrusives. Dolerite dykes trending NW-SE represent the younger basic intrusives. Late Tertiary sedimentary rocks (Warkalli beds) occur as isolated patches along the coast near Kannur, and east of Payyannur. They comprise variegated clays and friable sandstone. At Kannur and Pazhayangadi, carbonaceous ..2 clay with thin seams of lignite is reported towards bottom of the sedimentary sequence. The Granite Building Stone Quarry of M/s.

Brief description of nature of the project Ph No. : +91 7025044455

The ‘Granite Building Stone Quarry of M/s. Kanakakunnu Stone Industries & M-Sand ', over an extent of 3.4501 Ha is a granite building stone mining project. The granite building stone is the basic rock in this area to be excavated by quarrying. This Granite Building Stone quarry is proposed to be operated by Opencast Semi-Mechanized Quarrying Method. The mechanized operation of quarry shall use excavators, tippers, rock breakers, Jack hammer drilling and blasting. The excavated material shall be crushed in the crushers located outside the quarry lease area. The maximum production capacity proposed in this area is 1,48,035 tonnes per annum building stone of size 150mm to 250mm. The quarrying operation shall provide 40 direct & equal number of indirect employment to local III. people.Need for the project and its importance to the country and or region.

The basic objective of the project is to have effective utilization of granite stone as a building material in this region and state. The spur in infrastructure development and construction industry has enhanced the demand of granite building stone in past few years. Mainly infrastructure projects – like roads, highways, railways, bridges, buildings, township, Port Development, etc., have raised the demand of building material. Building stone quarry not only provides the building material but also employment and economic growth of the region that ultimately enhance the socio-economic status of the people of the region and the state. The mining ..7 activities shall provide socio-economic benefits to the local population with direct & indirect Granite Building Stone Quarry of M/s.

employment opportunities. The project also contributes to the regional and financial benefits in the IV. formDemand of Royalty,-Supply Cess, Gap Taxes, DMF etc. . Granite Building stone is an important component of the construction activities for infrastructure development. The demand for granite building stone is increasing along with the increase in infrastructure and construction activities in Kerala. This quarry can produce max 1,48,035 tonnes of building stone annually and the demand of building stone by various industries can be partly fulfilled by this project. During last few years there is a sudden increase in the Real estate & Port development activities which has further enhanced the demand for building stone, hence, there is heavy V. ImportsrequirementVs Indigenous of granite building production stone to meet the demand supply chain.

The requirements of granite building stone in infrastructure industry is huge where as the prices of granite are relatively low. The import or export of the same is not feasible due to heavy transportation cost. The granite building stone of size 150mm to 250mm shall be transported / sold to the crusher outside the quarry lease, where it shall be sized and sold to the local market for VI. infrastructureExport possibility. development.

5. PLANNING BRIEF: i. Planning concept (type of industries, facilities, transportation etc) Town and Country planning/ Development authority Classification:

This is a granite Building stone mining project. It is proposed to produce maximum 1,48,035 tonnes building stones per annum. The mined material will be transported by trucks to the crushing & screening plant located outside the quarry lease area by tippers of 10 tonnes capacity. Effective Environment Management will be carried out to control the pollution of Air, Water, Noise and Ground vibration. The Mining Plan for the operations in the quarry lease area is approved by the District Geologist, Department of Mining and Geology, , Kannur District, Kerala, vide Letter ii. NoPopulation. DOC/M- 2038AProjection/18 Dated 16.04.2018. : There will not be any increase in population due to the project. The man power required shall be employed from the local areas. The drivers / truck operators also shall be engaged from local iii. areas.Land useHence planningnot much (breakup influx of along population with green from outside belt etc): is anticipated.

All the manpower for the project shall be employed from the local area. Thus, there shall not be influx of people into the region; therefore, no increase in the population is envisaged during the period of the operations. The operations are also small scale. Hence, infrastructure demand both in the form of physical and social infrastructure, in terms of physical infrastructure will not be very demanding. However, the project would raise the economic status of the people in the region thus the social infrastructure like education, health and hygiene, sports, etc. would be quite demanding. The company thus commits to support the local community in the field of Health & Hygiene, Basic education, Education of girl child, Sports, renewable energy etc. thereby strengthening the social infrastructure of the region. ..15 Granite Building Stone Quarry of M/s.
