565 mm. which is mainly, received during July to September. The area belongs to

Semi Arid zone.

Minimum Temp. - Varies from 1.0º to 20º C

Maximum Temp. - Varies from 25º to 40º C

13

b) Geology of the area

i) Regional Geology

The district comprises Precambrian metamorphic and igneous rocks,

belonging to the Mangalwar Complex of the Pre-Delhi (Archean) and Raialo,

Alwar and Ajabgarh Groups, in ascending order of superposition, belonging to the

Delhi Super group (Lower to Middle Proterozoic) and post - Delhi igneous

intrusive Alluvium and Aeolian sediments mark the older formations. The

Mangalwar Complex comprising quartzite, mica schist, crystalline limestone,

conglomerate and granite, occur as isolated exposures in the southern part.

These are un-conformably overlain by the Raialo Group comprising

predominantly calcareous formations with volcanic and subordinate quartzite.

These lie in the core part of regional folds, defined the main structural pattern of

the area and contain a basal conglomerate and arkose quartzite unit, followed by a

sequence of argillaceous and impure calcareous rocks.

The geological sequence worked out by G.S.I. is given as under.

14

ii) Local Geology: -

Geologically, the mining lease area is belonging to Delhi Supergroup.

Quartzite is the major litho unit of the area. The stratigraphic sequence of the litho

unit present in the area is as follows:-

Recent &sub recent - Alluvium & blown sand

Delhi Super Group - Ajabgarh Group - Phyllite interbanded with quartzite

and gritty quartzite

The area has been geologically mapped and accordingly a surface

geological map has been prepared on a scale of 1:1000. Geological cross-sections

and longitudinal section have also been drawn on a scale 1:1000. In the present

area only Masonry Stone is available.

c) METHOD OF ESTIMATION OF RESERVES.

(i) The mineral Masonry Stone is exposed at various places, so the complete

lease area is considered as mineralized area. So the following points have

been considered for reserve estimation.

(ii) Average 0.15m Cover has been considered as overburden waste rock.

(iii) Average 34 m depth of Masonry Stone has been considered for proved

category of reserve.

(iv) Average 17 m depth of Masonry Stone below proved category has been

considered for probable category reserve.

(v) Average 8 m depth of Masonry Stone below probable category has been

considered for possible category reserve.

(vi) 2.5 tonnes /m3 have been considered as a sp. Gravity of Masonry Stone.

(vii) Recovery of Masonry Stone is 95% of total reserve.

(viii) Recovery of Masonry Stone is 95%, 5% is Mining Loss of total reserve.

Reserves estimation: -

In M. L. area mineral masonry stone have been found worked in an existing pit by

mining operation in the lease area, which indicates that the complete area has been

mineralized for the mineral masonry stone. Cross sectional area methods have been used

for reserve estimation. Following points have been considered for reserves calculation.

15

I Proved Reserve: -

Geological Reserve = Cross- Section Area (Sqm.) x influence length (m.) x Bulk Density (t/m3)

= 2983 x 50 x 2.5

= 372875 MT

Mineable Reserve = Cross- Section Area (Sqm.) x influence length (m.) x Bulk Density

(t/m3) x Recovery factor (%)

= 1734 x 35 x 2.5 x 0.95

= 144139 MT

II Probable Reserve: -


=3400 x 50 x 2.5

= 425000 MT

Mineable Reserve = Cross- Section Area (Sm.) x influence length (m.) x Bulk Density (t/m3)

x Recovery factor (%)

= 2831 x 27 x 2.5 x 0.95

= 181538 MT

III Possible Reserve: -


=1600 x 50 x 2.5

= 2,00,000 MT

Mineable Reserve = Cross- Section Area (Sqm.) x influence length (m.) x Bulk Density (t/m3)

x Recovery factor (%)

= 1259 x 20 x 2.5 x 0.95

= 59803 MT

Total Geological Reserve = (Proved + Probable + Possible) reserve

= 372875+425000 +200000

= 997875 MT

Total Mineable Reserve = (Proved + Probable + Possible) reserve

= 144139 + 181538 + 59803

= 385480 MT

16

Mineable Reserve

For estimation of mine able reserve the following parameters have been taken into

consideration:

i) Statutory barriers of 7.5m are not mineable.

ii) Waste Rocks (OB) = Nil

5% of the total excavation is considered as mining loss.

The mineral reserves are computed as per UNFC. The reserves are as follows:

B. Details of UNFC classification

UNFC is a three digit code based system, the economic viability axis representing

the first digit, the feasibility axis the second digit and the geological axis the third digit.

Each digit provided Codes 1, 2 and 3 in decreasing order. The highest category of

resources under UNFC system has code (111) and for lowest category the code is (334).

Code (111): This code is provided for the economically mineable part of the measured

mineral resources (proved category reserves).

Code (121): This code is provided for the economically mineable part of the indicated

mineral resources (probable category reserves).

Code (211): The part of the measured mineral resources (proved category), which as per

feasibility study has not found economically mineable. The reserves blocked in 7.5 meters

buffer zone and 45 meters from permanent structure.

17

Code (222): The part of the indicated mineral resources (probable category), which as per

feasibility study has not found economically mineable. The reserves blocked in 7.5 meters

buffer zone and 45 meters from permanent structure.

Code (333): Tonnage, Grade and mineral contents can be estimated with low level of

confidence and resources are also inferred from geological.

Mineable Reserve

For estimation of mine able reserve the following parameters have been

taken into consideration:


ii) Waste Rocks (OB) = Nil

2% of the total excavation is considered as mining losses.

Life of mine

We are considered average production of 50000 MT of Masonry Stone per annum

from the mine.

Life of mine = Total mineable reserve/ Av. Annual Production

= 385480 / 50000

= 7.7096 Years

CHAPTER-7

METHOD OF MINING

7.1 Present method of mining: -

It is a working lease. The mining of masonry stone is carried out since

2010. The work is carried out by semi mechanized open cast method of mining by

forming benches each of 6 m height & width in a single pit of the size 135 m x 50

m. for a depth of 22 m. The lease area is covered with very thin cover of Scree.

The masonry stone is being broken by blasting. This broken material is further

drilled by jack hammer and then blasted to form masonry stone lumps which are

being loaded by excavator into the hired trucks / dumpers.

7.2 Proposed method of mining: -

It is proposed to carry out the mining activities from top of the hill by

slicing method during the first year of the next five years. The mine will be

developed towards the North Eastern face by proper formation of benches each of

6m height and width. The year-wise development and position of the benches at

the end of each year have been given in Plate No. 5. The statutory barrier all along

the M. L. boundary will be kept 7.5 m. as shown in the Plate (4, 5 & 6).

The mining of masonry stone is requiring the drilling & blasting and

charging the drill holes with explosive. The rock will be broken by blasting which

forms the boulders. The boulders so produce will be drilled by jack hammer. The

blasted material will be loaded in to the dumpers after proper sizing with the help

of rock breaker. The loaded blasted material will be fed to the crusher for further

preparation of aggregates. Mostly, drilling operations are being carried with the

help of Jack Hammer and tractor mounted compressor only. In case of deployment

of HEMM along with deep hole blasting will be done, to achieve the requisite

production then prior permission will be taken from DGMS.

The holes so drilled will be blasted by using primary charge and ANFO

with the help of Electric Detonator. Before blasting of holes, following

precautions will be adopted.

21

a) Sufficient warning by efficient signals or other means will be given over the

entire area falling within a radius of 300 meters from place of firing (known as

danger zone). All the persons within such area have to take proper shelter.

b) If any part of a public road lies within the danger zone, two persons will be

posted at both the extreme points of such road by efficient system of telephonic

communication or hooter or loud speakers etc.

c) If any permanent building or structure of permanent nature, which is not

belonging to the owner, lies within the danger zone, the aggregate maximum

charge in all the holes fired at one time will not exceed two kilograms,

permission in writing will be taken by the Chief Inspector or the Regional

Inspector.

d) If the shortest distance from the place of firing to any part of such building or

structure will be less than 50 meters irrespective of the amount of the charge, no

blasting will be done except with the permission in writing of the Chief Inspector

or the Regional Inspector.

e) Due permission will be taken from the competent authority before deploying the

HEMM & deep hole blasting.

7.3 Proposed Year wise development for five Years: -

It is proposed to develop the Western face of the current working of the Pit

No.-1 by proper formation of benches of 6m height and width. The year-wise plan

and the sections and position of the pit at the end of each year have been given in

Plate No. 5.

The average annual production for the last five years was 3532 MT, but

considering the market demand it is proposed to produce 50,000 tonne of sellable

masonry stone by considering 5 % waste. So, about 52,631 tonne ROM is to be

produced. The year wise development has been planned accordingly between the

308 mRL to 262 mRL by forming benches.

During the first year of mining, the work will be carried out from 308, 302,

296, 290 and 284 mRL by forming benches of 6 m. height to win the proposed rate

of mineral as shown on the section Y-Y' in Plate No. 5.The details of total waste

rock handling during this year are given in Table 7.2.

During the period of second year of mining, the work will be carried out

from 290, 284, 278 and 272 mRL by forming benches as shown on sections X-X'

& Y-Y' in Plate No. 5. The details of total waste rock handling during this year are

given in Table 7.2.

22

During the period of third year of mining, the work will be carried out from

278 to 272 mRL by forming one bench as shown on section Y-Y' in Plate No. 5.

The details of waste rock generation are given in Table 7.3.

During the fourth year of mining, the work will be carried out from 277,

272 and 266 mRL by forming benches as shown on sections X-X' & Y-Y' in Plate

No. 5. The details of waste rock generation during this year are given in Table 7.4.

During the fifth year of mining, the work will be carried out from 272, 266

and 262 mRL in two benches as shown on sections X-X' & Y-Y' in Plate 5.The

details of waste rock generation during this year are given in Table 7.5.

For estimation of mineable reserve the following parameters have been taken into

consideration: -


ii) Recovery of Masonry Stone is considered 95% of total reserves.

25

7.6 Life of mine

We are considered average production of 50000 MT of Masonry Stone per annum

from the mine.

Life of mine = Total mineable reserve/ Av. Annual Production

= 385480 / 50000

= 7.7096 Years

= say 8 years

7.7 Conceptual Mining plan

The conceptual Mining Plan has been discussed up to anticipated life of the mine.

7.8 BLASTING: -

Blasting operations will be performed by competent person. Spacing and

burden may change depending upon the field condition based on experience. In

case of deep hole blasting, prior permission will be taken from DGMS.

The Broad blasting parameters will be as under: -

1. Spacing : 1.2 m

2. Burden : 0.9 m

3. Depth of hole : 1.5 m. (In two stages)

4. Tonnage of each hole : 4.05 m

5. Charge per hole ANFO : 0.40 Kg

6. No. of Cartridge : 1

7. No. of hole per round : 20

8. No. of round per day : 2-3

9. No. of row : 1

10. Wt. Of Cartridge : 125 gm

11. Powder Factor : 6.05tonnes/Kg

TYPE OF EXPLOSIVE TO BE USED

1. ANFO (AN94%, FO 6%)

2. Slurry Explosive

3. Detonating Fuse

4. Ordinary Detonator /Electric detonator

5. Safety Fuse

26

STORAGE OF EXPLOSIVES

As mining Operation is on a limited scale, therefore, requirement of

explosive will be very low. Therefore, No explosive will be stored at the mine site.

Explosive required for blasting will be transported from nearby magazine in a

approved explosive van and the residue explosive after blasting will be returned to

the same magazine. There will not be any infrastructure and mining operation in

50mtr.radius of magazine. Suitable provision of fencing, guard huts etc will be

done as per Indian Explosive Act. Blasting operation will be done by blaster /

mines manager appointed by the lessee.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Steps will be taken to prevent any person approaching the shot. The safety

precautions like efficient siren will be blown prior to the blasting and at the

clearance of blasting.

7.9 MINE DRAINAGE

As the area is hilly and country rock is hard, the runoff water will be high

and percolation of water will be low. All the surface water shall be flowing

towards North eastern direction and join to a Sabi River, which is flowing in the

Northern side of lease area.

The proposed Mining will start from above surface level, so there will be

no effect on ground water table. The general ground water table in the area is about

50 mtr below general ground level.

Therefore, ground water table will not be touched during first five years of

mining. There will be no drainage of water to mine workings. Pumping shall be

done for collected water, if any, during rainy period of any time.

h) Surface Plan & Section, etc. (Plate No.-3)

7.10 Ultimate Pit Limits

Presently, there is one opencast pit, covering an about 6454 sq.mtr. area as

shown in Surface Plan (Plate No.4). For the period of next five years, it is

proposed to work from top of the hill. In the proposed mine planning, the limit of

this Pit will be 185 m x 35 m x 46 m (from top of the hill) at the end of fifth year

(refer Plate No.-6). So it will occupy an area of about 6475 sq.mtr. The excavation

will approach the statutory barrier on the surface and there is no further spoke to

develop the benches beyond it. So the ultimate pit limit is 250 mRL.

27

7.11 Waste rock management:

During the first Five year plan period expected O.B waste and Mineral

Reject will be 186 cum and 5289 cum respectively. Some of the waste will be used

for making boundary wall by the local people. Remaining waste will be dumped at

the marked site.

At the end of lease period 7710 cum mineral reject will be generated.

During the course of the mining this waste will be dumped on the site shown on

the plate no.5. Height of the dump will be 8 m. Waste will be disposed in two

terraces of 4m height. Retaining wall will be made all around the dump.

Each year an area of about 0.012 ha. will be used in waste stack yard.

Waste dump will be disposed at the boundary barrier of 7.5 mtr. all along the M. L.

area. and plantation will be done over the waste to stabilize the dump.

7.12 Reclamation and Rehabilitation:

The waste/mineral reject generated during the proposed mining will be

dumped in the boundary barrier. The waste/mineral reject will be covered by a thin

layer of top soil and plantation will be done over the waste to stabilize the dump.

However, in absence of backfill material, the worked out area will be developed as

a water reservoir which will be helping in recharging the ground water table of the

surrounding area. (Plate No.- 6 & 7).

Extent of the area covered and number of saplings to be planted:

Presently, 10 small trees covering an area of about 0.02 hectare are there in the

mining lease area. During the period of next five years, about 10 trees / year will

be planted on the site as marked and shown in Plate No. - 5.

CHAPTER – 10

MEASURE TAKEN AND TO BE TAKEN FOR LAND RESTORATION,

RECLAMATION AND PLANTATION IN / OR NEARBY LEASE ARE A

As the area has not been exhausted completely, hence no restoration and

reclamation of land carried out. Lessee planted 10 saplings every year but they could not

survive due to scarcity of water.

PROGRAMME FOR PLANTATION

The area is mostly rocky with very poor density of vegetation. Plantation will be

carried out in the statutory barrier of the mine, to arrest the dust. The lease area is 1.00

hectare out of this 0.6475 hect. area will be degraded due to mining which will be

converted into water reservoir in absence of non availability of backfill material. The land

available for plantation will be only the statutory barrier having an area of 0.3525 hect. In

this area 50 trees will be planted in the next five years.

CHAPTER – 11

MEASURES TAKEN AND TO BE TAKEN FOR THE PROTECTION O F

ENVIRONMENT IN AND AROUND MINING LEASE AREA

Measures taken for the protection of environment in and around mining lease area: -

To protect the environment in and around the mining lease area, in previous years

the lessee has reportedly planted 10 saplings per year but due to bad climatic conditions,

no availability of top soil and water the saplings could not survived. Also, due to poor

maintenance of work place only 10 trees are remained there, for which regular water and

protection was provided by the lessee and the workers. The lessee has also planted some

trees near by the approach road but in absence of proper care, the same could not be

survived. However, in the proposed plantation for the next five years it is intended to

provide tree guards for each saplings and regular watering.

PROTECTION OF ENVIRONMENT

Existing Land Use Pattern

Masonry Stone is mostly occupying the lease area. The surface terrain is rugged

due to debris and quartzite with mild slope covered by bushes. There is no agriculture land

in the lease area, the existing land use pattern is given in the format.

5. Virgin Area 3546

Total Area

(ii) Water Regime

There is no river, nalah, pond etc. within the lease area. It is a part of hill.

Reportedly, the water table is about 50 m (220 mRL) below the general ground

surface i.e. 270mRL. The quality of water of a well outside the lease area at about

1 km from the mine site is reportedly normal and potable.

10000 m2

31

(iii) Flora & Fauna

Scanty local bushes are there in the area, which are grown during rainy

season. Presently 10 trees Babool, Neem & Khakra are there. Also there is no

fauna observed and reported in and around the lease area.

(iv) Climatic Condition

The area is characterized by semi arid type with an average annual rainfall

of about 565 mm. which is mainly received during July to September.

The minimum temp. recorded as 1.4º during winter whereas maximum

temp. recorded during summer is 47º C. General wind direction is south west to

north east.

(v) Public buildings, places and monuments

No such buildings, places and monuments exist in and around the lease area.

(vi) Quality of Air:

The air quality is free from any pollutant.

Impact of mining

The sources of air pollution in the area due to mining will be mainly from dust

generation by plying of trucks and dumpers on unpaved mine road. The dust is also

generated during drilling whereas quality of air is affected due to emission of gases from

different machineries and Smoke generated during blasting which is momentarily &

occasionally.

Remedies

Water spray is being carried out occasionally over the excavated material as well

as on the haul road to minimize the dust during loading & transportation.

32

ENVIRONMENT

Impact of mining on the Environment: The common adverse effects of mining on

environment are as under: -

(A) Land Environment

(i) Landscape

The landscape of this lease area is changed marginally by current mining

operations. It will further increase due to proposed mining in the area. The total area of the

lease which will be disturbed at the end of the proposed five years of mining will be

around 0.6474 hect. Upto a depth of 262 mRL.

(ii) Aesthetic Environment

At present the area is rugged and part of hilly terrain. It has no aesthetic beauty.

Due to mining of masonry stone a little aesthetic environment may change for the area and

the surroundings.

(iii) Soil and Land Use Pattern

There is no soil cover in the area. The weathered quartzite and scree material is

covering the lease area. By mining of masonry stone a little land use is changed due to pit

excavation.

(iv) Agriculture

The mining is being done on Govt. waste land and will be continued in Govt.

waste land only so there will be no impact on agriculture.

(v) Forest

The mining area does not fall in forest land. No forest within core and buffer zone

falls so there is no impact takes place on the forest.

(vi) Vegetation

There is no vegetation in the mining lease area. Some seasonal bushes are there

which has no importance so no effect will take place by mining activities on vegetation.

(vii) Public Building, Places and Monuments

No public building, places of monuments etc. are there in or nearby the lease area,

so there will be no effect by mining activities on any public building, places and

monuments.

33

CHAPTER – 12

MEASURES TAKEN AND TO BE TAKEN FOR DUMPING OVERBURD EN,

STACKING OF TOP SOIL AND UTILISATION OF TOP SOIL

Measures taken for dumping overburden, stacking of top soil and utilization of top

soil: - Dumping site for disposal of OB waste & mineral reject has been chosen such that

natural water channel not get disturbed. A wall of rubble stone will be made all around the

dump to stop the lateral spread of the waste dump. Water garlands are also constructed

around the waste dump to trap the silt contamination.

DISPOSAL OF WASTE

Nature of Waste

Over Burden waste i. e scree and 5 % mineral reject of total mining

activity will only be the waste to dispose.

CHAPTER – 13

MEASURE TAKEN AND TO BE TAKEN FOR THE CONTROL OF WA TER, NOISE AND AIR POLLUTION

Surface Water: - There is no source of surface water in and around the mining lease area.

So no measures required to control it.

Ground Water: - The proposed mine working is up to 262 mRL which is far above the

general ground water table, hence no measures required to control it.

Noise: - In the proposed mining the use of machines like excavator, dumper, drill machine

and compressor will produce some noise. To control these noises, machines will be

regularly maintained properly by greasing, oiling etc. as well as providing protective

equipments to all the mine workers.

(a) Water Quality

No impact will take place due to mining activities on water quality, as no toxic or

polluted water will be discharged, neither the pit depth will go below to the ground water

table.

(b) Air Pollution

(i) Noise Pollution

The source of the noise in mining particularly in this area can be due to

35

(1) Mobile plant (Drilling, running of compressors etc.)

(2) External Transport Plant related with supply of material running of trucks and dumpers etc.

(3) Explosive detonation, Sound waves etc.

No sound pollution will be caused by above source, as the sound generated

will be kept within permissible limit. The blasting will not be done at high scale

and hence practically no ground vibration will take place. The noise level during

blasting will be high but it will be for momentarily. Scientific blasting will be

adopted hence ground vibration will not take place.

(ii) Dust

The impact on the air due to mining activities can take place by following

activities: -

(a) Drilling and blasting operation,

(b) Running of external transport machinery like dumpers, trucks in the mining area,

blasting operation. Due to small scale mining impact will be very low in the form

of small amount of air borne dust.

(c) Climatic Condition

Climatic condition of the area will not be changed by mining activities, as

the mining activities will be of limited nature, so there will be no impact of mining

on climatic condition.

36

CHAPTER – 14

CONTRIBUTION REGARDING THE SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT OF TH E

NEARBY RESIDENTS

(A) Social Development

(i) Social and Demographic Profile

In the proposed mining there will be direct employment of 16 persons so

considering a family of 4 members for each employee the social development will be for

64 persons. Other than this indirectly about 50 % will also be benefited by proposed

mining so it is proposed that the lessee should spend 1% of profit for the development of

the area by donating the amount for development on education, cultural and other social

activities of the community near by the mine site.

(ii) Occupational Health and Safety

Due to proposed mining during drilling and transportation there may be dust

generation so to prevent the occupational disease, the measure as proposed in drilling

operation in will be taken which will prevent inhalation of the dust by the workers. The

workers will be periodically medically examined as required under Rule 29(b) of Mines

Rule. If any worker found to have any occupational disease he will be immediately

provided with proper medical care as per provision of Mines Rule.

37

Safety

To prevent the worker getting any injury during work following measure will be

taken: -

(i) The workers will be trained by periodical vocational training programs. They will

be given proper training in particular work area/ field.

(ii) The workers will be provided proper safety wearing and equipments such as hand

gloves, safety boots, helmets, and lifeline jackets etc.

(iii) Proper & systematic benches will be formed. Apart from this, all safety precaution

will be taken as per Mines Act, Rules, Regulation and Byelaws made there under.

(iii) Human Settlement

There is no human settlement within and around 500 m. periphery of the

lease area. The local inhabitant will be protected during blasting operations by

hooting siren before its operation.

(iv) Recreational Facility

Presently there is no recreational facility available. The lessee is proposing

to have in-house recreational facilities like carom, ludo, chess and video games.

Post Plantation Care: -

i) Protection from Grazing

It is proposed to keep 1 casual labor to water the plants, there protection

from grazing erecting fencing etc. regularly.

ii) Watering during Dry Spell

It is proposed to plant 10 trees/ year of Babool, Neem & Khakra, though

these trees will require very less water but, in the first year from April to July, the

watering will be done by the daily casual worker and October to March thrice in a

week by deploying water tanker. Thereafter, each year watering will be done

alternate day & during dry spell once in daily.

iii) Manuring

The local manuring will be done once in forth night after plantation work is taken

up.

38

iv) Protective measures will be taken on pre and post plantation period to control pest

like white ant etc. After a few months liquid pesticide mixed with 100 times water

will be spread over the planted saplings.

v) Replenishment of Casualties

The loss of each year will be counted and in subsequent plantation

casualties will be again planted at same place. This way in the end of 5 years 50

healthy trees will remain be there in the area.

CHAPTER – 15

DETAILS OF HEALTH CHECKUP AND INSURANCE OF ALL THE

EMPLOYED PERSONS (FOR EXISTING LEASE)

Initial and periodical Medical examination will be conducted annually for every

person employed in the mines. 50% of the total employee will get examined medically in

the first year, while the rest 50% will also be examined in the next years so that all the

person employed in the mine get examined within two years as per Mines rules-1955.
