(iii) Need for the project and its importance to the country and or region Due to the increased development and modernization, the requirement of soapstone has been on the rise over the last few years. Mineral soapstone is used in many industries. The properties that give talc a wide variety of uses and markets are its extreme softness and smoothness, good luster and sheen, high slip and lubricating property, low moisture content, ability to absorb oil and grease, chemical inertness, high fusion point, low electrical and heat conductivity, good retention for filler purposes, and high specific heat. Soapstone is used commercially in paper rubber, textile and toilet industries. Beside it is used in talcum powder, polishing agents, insecticides and an insulating material. In addition, it has the advantage of being relatively abundant. It can be easily mined and prepared for market. Mining industry play an important role in economic sector in India. Rajasthan is rich in mineral wealth. The state is endowed with major and minor mineral resources.
District Bhilwara is also known as zoo of minerals. The region, where the project is situated is mostly dependant on agriculture and mineral resources. The development of mining in the area provides direct and indirect employment opportunities, infrastructure development, communication and socio-economic infrastructure. The important benefits accruing from the project can thus be stated as-boost to local and regional economy, direct contribution to the state exchequer.
(iv) Demand and Supply Gap: As soapstone is used in paper, ceramic, cosmetic, paints, plastic, insecticides industries etc., the demand of soapstone is increasing day by day. Demand of soapstone is always high but now a days due to rapid industrialization and urbanization and due to its various physical properties, demand of soapstone is increasing with pace of time. At present demand of soapstone is much higher.

(iv) Size and Magnitude of Operation Total area of mining lease is 32.37 Ha. comprises of 31.43Ha. Government Waste Land and 0.94 Ha. private agriculture land. This is a proposal for enhancement of production of mineral Soapstone from 6000 TPA to 40,000 TPA.
(v) Project description with process details (a schematic diagram/flow chart showing the project layout, components of the project etc. should be given) A. Method of Mining ∑ Rock Fragmentation: The mineral is compact and intergrowth in nature and cannot be easily fragmented with the use of conventional tools. Thus drilling & blasting operation are needed to exploit deposit. Drilling & blasting practices are also required to remove the overburden/ waste. This work is carried out by the experienced & authorized contractors on contractual basis.
∑ Mucking and Transportation: The mucking of fragmented O/B is semi-mechanized way. The mineral is first sorted out manually to remove the impurities associated with it & it is placed separately as per grade/category. The sorted mineral is then carried to the temporary stack yard & then further loaded in the truck for it’s onwards transportation to the factories located in the state and in Gujrat & other parts of the country. In the next five years as proposed the working would be extended to systemize the pit. The faces would be advanced in all the directions & depth wise for getting production as well as development from the top of the hill, as per required norms of mining. This will help in better utilization of the resources and systematic development of the mine.
The guidelines followed for the purpose are as follows: 1. Shaping and sizing of the pit systematically.
2. Proper benching as per the Rules and Regulations made there under. The proposed bench height is about 3m & the width of the bench shall be kept more than the height.
3. The waste generated shall be dumped within the lease area.
