EGMB is trending in NNE – SSW in the area. This area EGMB mainly represented by Western zone. The succession of Eastern Ghats Super Group is as follows: 6 Intrusive Layered Anorthosites and associated Mafics and Chromiferrous Ultra Mafics. Charnockite Group Charnokite with Mega Crystic K-Feldspar Charnockite, Two Pyroxene Granulate/ Amphibolites Khondalite Cacl – Silicate – Granulites 6 Group Garnet – Silliminite – Quartz – Biotite – K- Feldspar Graphite Gneiss (Khondalite) Quartzite – Ganet - Silliminite Granitoid Suite Granitoid with Mega Crystic K- Feldspar Undifferentiated (with MigmatiticDiaTectile, Augen) Porphyroblastic Granite and Gneisses Garnet – BiotiteHomophanus Granite/Gneiss Leptinite, Local CharnockiteNeosomes and Relics The Eastern Ghats Mobile Belt is fold thrust terrain, the margins defined by westerly. b) Detailed description of Geology of the lease area Present area constitutes part of Western Charnockite zone represented mainly of Charnockite and basic granulate with minor banded iron formation. Litho logically the lease area is underlain by Charnockite, which is fresh looking, greasy, dark colored with domination of hypersthenes, blue quartz minerals in it. The Charnockite in the area forms dome shaped, steepy sloping hills. The rock is medium to coarse grained texture composed of gresy quartz, hypersthenes, orthoclase and plagioclase with or without garnet. The rock is massive, with widely spaced vertical to sub vertical joints trending in NE-SW direction. It is observed that sheet joints are absent. Owing to its compact and hardness charnockite with stand to weathering and form huge, steepy sloping dome shaped hills in the area b) Detailed description of geology of lease area The Quarry Lease Area is fallen Flanks of the hill with topo relief of 130 M consisting of Chevrolet rock under lied by Granite Gneiss with average of archean period. Geologically gravel may be formed due to insite weathering of khondalite of rocks which is useful for formation of kaccha roads or filling purpose The Charnokite Rice is Very strong in natured having predominant joints with irregular direction i.e, shear in nature , which is useful for breaking and crushing purpose only ,these are utilize civil purpose c) Details of Quarry Lease holder M/s N.V.
