Pre-Feasibility Report
lease area is 100m MSL and lowest elevation is 84m MSL. As the proposed area is hill rock, the drainage of the lease area is towards North-East side.
Geological Reserves is estimated as 767298 MT and Recoverable Reserves is estimated as 471005 MT of Granite Building stone after leaving necessary safety distance from the lease boundary indicated in the precise area letter and relevant mining laws in force. Production Schedule is proposed an average production of 471005 MT and 47101 MT per annum and 181 MT per day for the 260 working days in a year by open cast mining.
2.3 Need for the project and its importance to the country and or region The major need of building stone is due to high compressive strength and durability (among the hardest, dimensional & structural stones) it can effectively withstand the vagaries of nature. Fine-grained granite is employed for ornamental and monumental. Works as well as for inscription purposes. The mineral –rich colours, and the hardness & density, makes its useful for many applications.
The proposed mining project will fulfill its end uses in buildings and constructions, bridges, paving, monuments and many other exterior projects. Polished slabs and titles are used in countertops, flooring, retaining walls and landscaping around a centre are used in countertops, flooring, retaining walls and landscaping around a centre fountain / pond, staircase and many other design elements (residential and commercial applications). It is also known as the maintenance – free stone.
The mining and associated activities in the mineral bearing areas bring about gains in gross domestic product, ie. There is though a minor contribution by the proposed project but will add to the gains in G.D.P (Gross Domestic Product).
A total of 17 people will be employed in the mine. It will create employment (though marginally) for local population.
Applicant will pay royalty for the mineral produced from the mine, direct and indirect taxes will be paid thereby contributing to the regional revenue. The public revenue will further be put for infrastructure development and other sectors like health, education and social welfare.

Pre-Feasibility Report
The exploitation of mineral is being done in average depth of 23 m at conceptual phase. Considering the stability of rocks the final slope or say ultimate pit slope is proposed 600 from vertical. Haul road will be developed up to point of loading. Transportation of the mineral from pit-mouth to destination will be by tippers / Trucks (10MT capacity)
3.5.2 Mode of Working
It is a semi mechanized quarrying operation using shot hole drilling with the help of compressor and jack hammers, smooth blasting ,block lifting and waste removal using Hydraulic excavator and loaded directly to the tippers and transported to the crushing plants into required size in the crushing plants from 75mm jelly to 10mm chips.

While developing a top soil bench, a height of 5m and width not less than the height. The rough stone working benches shall be 5m height as equal to the height of the excavator boom and width more than 6m for safe movement of machineries and slope shall not be more than 600. The proposed bench dimensions are shown in section 6. 7 of mining plan.
S2 fencing (without closing or gate) shall be constructed at the top of high benches from inadvertent entry of persons or cattle fields. In case of road closing or entry of pit G1 fencing (parapet) should be formed as a safe practice to control tress passes.
3.5.3 Proposed Bench Height and Width
As per reg. 106 (2) (b) of MMR, 1961, the bench height is designed as 5m and width as 5m but in the case of non-moving permanent stable benches the width shall be less that 5m due to lack of space for development. The bench height is designed equal to height of boom of the excavator. In this connection, the applicant should obtain necessary permission from DGMS whenever he deviates from the standard norms of bench design.
