INTRODUCTION OF THE PROJECT/ BACKGROUND INFORMATION 2.1 Identification of Project and Project Proponent Govt of Jharkhand has granted the mining lease for minor mineral (stone) in Mouza - Serengdih, Thana – Chandil (Ichagarh), Thana No. – 131, District – Saraikela-Kharswan, Jharkhand, over an area of 8.00 Acres (3.24 Ha), in favour of M/s Madhucon Projects Ltd. on 16.03.2017 for a period of 2 years from 16.03.2017 to 15.03.2019. The proposed rate of production is 2,59,902 TPA of Stone. The lease area comprises of G.M. Land. The estimated project cost is Rs.44 lakhs. Proposed plan period is 5 years and the expected life of the mine is 5 years. Name & Address of the Project Proponent: M/s Madhucon Projects Ltd. Authorized Signatory: Sri Ravoori Prasad At Village - Karkata,P.O- Rajaulatu, P.S- Namkum, District-Ranchi, State -Jharkhand, Pin No. - 834010 Head Office Address: 1129/A, Road No.-36, Jubilee Hills, Hydrabad- 500033(A.P) Contact No- +91- 9523423669 Email ID: - [email protected] PROJECT: - SERENGDIH STONE MINE Page 2 of PFR LESSEE: - M/s MADHUCON PROJECTS LTD. PRE - FEASIBILITY REPORT 2.2 Brief Information about the Project The project has been proposed for mining of 2,59,902 TPA of Stone by mechanized method. The lease area is 8.00 Acres (3.24 Ha.). The expected life of the mine is 5 years. Blasting will be done for mining activity. Water requirement for the proposed project for drinking use, dust suppression and other use will be 9.0 KLPD, which will be taken from nearby Serengdih, Ratai, etc villages. Details Requirement of water(KLPD) 1. Dust Total length of haul road 1 Km out of which is about 260m is connected from Suppression Tikar Road and 740m within the area for haulage activities. Requirement of water =6.0 KLPD 2. Drinking & Water requirement for drinking & domestic per person is 20 liter/day. Domestic Therefore requirement is 33x20 = 660 liter / day say 1.0 KLPD 3. Greenbelt 2.0 KLPD Development 2.3 Need for the Project and Its Importance to the Country or Region Achieving a huge infrastructure as being envisaged by Government of India particularly in road and housing sector requires basic building materials. The stone is one of primary building material required for the purpose. The stone mining activities as proposed are the backbone of all construction and infrastructure projects as the raw material for construction is available only from such mining. The stone extracted is in high demand at the local market for road construction and real estate industry. 2.4 Demands-Supply Gap The demand for stone is ever growing with the growth of the infrastructure sector in our country. The mineral is used in the construction activities like roads, buildings, bridges etc. The requirement for the mineral is always high in the nearby cities and towns. Therefore there is always a good demand of the mineral in the domestic market. 2.5 Imports vs. Indigenous Production Development needs will be met only through indigenous produced stone material against the high cost of imported material. 2.6 Export Possibility There is no proposal to export the Stone as there is huge gap in demand and production. PROJECT: - SERENGDIH STONE MINE Page 3 of PFR LESSEE: - M/s MADHUCON PROJECTS LTD. PRE - FEASIBILITY REPORT 2.7 Domestic/ Export Markets DOMESTIC MARKET The finished product of Stone will be used as raw materials for all construction work. EXPORT MARKET The proposed mining activity is for indigenous consumption only for real state, road making etc. 2.8 Employment Generation The proposed mining activity will provide employment to about 33 (approx) workers. The workers will be hired mostly from the nearby villages. 3. PROJECT DESCRIPTION 3.1 Type of Project Including Interlinked and Interdependent Projects, If Any. The mine is over an area of 8.00 Acres (3.24 Ha.). The proposed production is 2,59,902 TPA. This is an independent mining project and there are no interlinked projects involved. The project falls under Category “B2” Project or activity 1(a) as per EIA Notifications 2006 and amendment done so far. 3.2 Location Serengdih Stone Mine is situated in Saraikela-Kharswan District and the site is situated near about 14.01 Km away from Tiruldih Railway Station. The nearest Airport is Ranchi is about 63.52 Km away & the nearest highway NH-33 is near about 4.80 km and SH -3 is near about 21.14 km away from the area.

PRE - FEASIBILITY REPORT 3.3 Details of Alternate Sites Mining is site specific project. 3.4 Size or magnitude of operation The mineable reserve would be 12,99,240 tonnes. This mineable reserve will be worked out in 5 years of plan period @ 2,59,902 tonnes/year. Thus, the life of mine will be 5 years (plan period).The mine will be worked on the day time only. The average number of working days in the year would be 300. 3.5 General Geology: 3.5.1 Physiography The lease area represents a sloppy hillock like land with rock mass of Dolerite. The highest RL is of 211m from Mean Sea Level and the lowest RL is of 200m from MSL. There is no settlement within the area. There is no nala flowing within or near the area. 3.5.2 Regional Geology The detailed study reveals that the sector consists of several major lithologic groups of sedimentary and igneous origin ranging in age from Archean to the Younger Proterozoic. The major lithological units of the area comprising of mainly the newer dolerite boulders.
