PRE-FEASIBILITY REPORT
(As per Ministry of Environment and Forests Letter dated: 30-12-2010)
Contents Details
1. Executive Summary Rampura Marble Mine (ML No.- 420/91) is proposed by M/s Continental Minerals Pvt. Ltd. The
Mine Lease area consists of 3.0 ha, which is located at Khasra Nos.- 394, 395, 397, 396, 402,
446, 403, Near Village- Rampura, Tehsil- Neem Ka Thana, District- Jaipur, Rajasthan. It is a non
forest mining project.
The mine will be operated by semi mechanized mining method, which will require little
blasting. Blasting will be done if necessary after taking pre-consent from DGMS and other
concerning district and tehsil level authorities/officials. It is proposed to avoid blasting as much
as possible as blasting creates cracks in the marble block.
Total Reserves [Proved (111) & Probable (121) as per UNFC] of Marble are estimated at
6,00,900 T and 6,95,760 T respectively. The life of the mine is expected to be 11 Years. The ML
area is plane land. Topographically the mining lease area is hilly land. The highest contour is 346
mRL and the lowest contour is 324 mRL. Slope of the natural drainage is towards NE to SW.
The mining operations will include drilling, cutting of blocks from thadi, separating the required
size block from big block, lifting of mineral and material, loading of mineral and material and
transportation of material. The mined out mineral from stock site will be dispatched to
destination through hired trucks. No beneficiation is required at site. Khanda will be dispatched
to grinding units and block will be dispatched to cutting units.
Total mining area is 3.0 ha. At the end of life of mine, total excavated area will be 2.70 ha.,
which will be left over for water reservoir which would have a positive impact by recharging the
ground water table. As the continuity of mineral may be goes in depth beyond the present
reserves limit. Thus at this stage reclamation is not proposed. The scheme of reclamation will be
provided at proper time. Presently the excavated land is proposed to use as water reservoir,
which would have a positive impact by recharging the ground water table.
It is proposed to plant total 400 trees in 1.0 Hectare land i.e. 33.33% of the total lease area. 120
trees will be planted in 0.30 ha. land along the barrier of 7.5 m along the boundary of mine lease
and all around haul roads and rest 280 trees will be planted in 0.70 ha. Gram Panchyat land after
getting due permission. Certain Species like Khejri, Ker, Babool, Neem, Mango & other fruit
bearing trees which are more suitable to local soil are proposed to be planted.

iii. Need for the project
and its importance to
the country and or
region.
Marble occurrences are widely distributed in India. However,
occurrences of economic importance are limited to a few states
namely Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, Haryana and Andhra
Pradesh. Makrana marble and green marble have became famous
world over. Rajasthan has the largest rescores of good quality
marble in India. Total recoverable reserves of marble in India are
estimated at 825 million tonnes by IBM, out of which 563 million
tonnes alone are found in Rajasthan. As per the information from
Stona-2000, Rajasthan possesses 11,000 million tonnes of mineable
marble reserves. The following statement shows reserves of various
marble belts/ deposits of Rajasthan.
Rajasthan has a large spectrum of minerals in which building stones
enjoy an important place. Marble occupies a unique position among
building stones due to its pleasant look and easy carving. The term
marble is derived from the Latin world "marmor" which itself
comes from the Greek root "marmarous", meaning thereby a shining
stone.

About 85% country's production is shared by Rajasthan. It has
produced 4278.63 thousand tonnes of marble during 1999-2000
worth for Rs. 42903.15 lacks rupees (Sale value).
From the times immemorial marble has been used to perpetuate the
memory of individual, to immortalise their achievements and to
glorify the deities. A number of temples (Ranakpur and Delwara
Jain temples), mosques (Taj Mahal) and monuments (Victoria
Memorials) etc. have been built in the past under the lavish
patronage of kings and noblemen. For these purpose, marble has
been much preferred because of its easy workability, pleasing
colours, attractive patterns and resistance to failure under abrasive
traffic. The use of marble not only enhances the aesthetic beauty of
a building but also imparts a feeling of dignity to the structure.
Marbles: Rajasthan is the largest producer and resource holder of
marble in India (marmaros in Greek means shining stone). The state
accounts for ~90% of India’s marble production. Marble has
fascinated man for ages and it has been used for innumerable
attractive buildings, temples, monuments, statues, carvings, etc.
Over the centuries, any attractive stone has been indifferently called
marble (sensu lato). Even now any good quality ornamental and
decorative stone is referred to as marble; the world famous
serpentine of Rikhabdev area (south of Udaipur) is unhesitantly
called green marble! Besides marble, sensu stricto, Rajasthan also
has well-liked and admired resources of limestones, granites,
sandstones, slates, etc.

iv. Demand-Supply Gap Rajasthan has been bestowed with huge reserves of marble. So far
there is no problem as such of shortage of supply of marble in the
state. Estimated reserves of the state are 1100 million tones, which
are more than 9% of the total marble reserve in the country. The
present hard times faced by the industry in the state are in fact a
result of imbalance of demand and supply of marble in the market.
Lured by the high profit and margins of the trade, several
entrepreneurs have entered in the industry. With the advent of
modern technology in the past few decades, the production of
Marble has increased like anything. The cost of production has
come down and the speed and quality of production have improved
a lot. Moreover, the reduction in wastage has also resulted in
increased production. All this resulted in supply of huge surplus to
the demand in the market.
It is well known fact that marble now has become a thing of
necessity, rather than a luxury. Marble has now become the
cheapest and best option for the building constructions besides the
other uses. The demand of marble has grown steadily in the past few
decades. Through the supply of marble in market is much more than
the demand. (Production Trends (in Thousand Tons)

Authorized signatory EIA Consultant
Contents Details
Marble are estimated at 6,00,900 T and 6,95,760 T respectively.
The life of the mine is expected to be 11 Years. The ML area is
plane land.
The mining operations will include drilling, cutting of blocks from
thadi, separating the required size block from big block, lifting of
mineral and material, loading of mineral and material and
transportation of material. The mined out mineral from stock site
will be dispatched to destination through hired trucks. No
beneficiation is required at site. Khanda will be dispatched to
grinding units and block will be dispatched to cutting units.
Total mining area is 3.0 ha. At the end of life of mine, total
excavated area will be 2.70 ha., which will be left over for water
reservoir which would have a positive impact by recharging the
ground water table. As the continuity of mineral may be goes in
depth beyond the present reserves limit. Thus at this stage
reclamation is not proposed. The scheme of reclamation will be
provided at proper time. Presently the excavated land is proposed
to use as water reservoir, which would have a positive impact by
recharging the ground water table.
It is proposed to plant total 400 trees in 1.0 Hectare land i.e.
33.33% of the total lease area. 120 trees will be planted in 0.30 ha.
land along the barrier of 7.5 m along the boundary of mine lease
and all around haul roads and rest 280 trees will be planted in 0.70
ha. Gram Panchyat land after getting due permission.
vi. Raw material

2018-2019 37180
Total 157010
About 1,57,010 tonnes of waste will be generated during next five
years. Waste will be dumped outside the lease area on common
dump sites located in nearby lease area and Some waste will be
lifted by local habitants and rest waste will be dumped within the
ML area, in an earmarked area of 0.06 hectare for 5.0 m height. The
waste dump is proposed to stabilize by retaining wall of rubble
stones. Stone wall is proposed of 1.0 m height and 2.0 m width
towards lower altitude side which will prevent the spreading of
waste. Further, a garland drain is proposed towards lower side of the
dumps to check the wash off from the dumps/ to check the silt
during monsoon. Plantation is also proposed over the matured
dumps for stabilization.
No watercourse is proposed to disturb/obstruct by proposed
dumping activities.

iii. Land use planning
(breakup along with
green belt etc).
At the end of life of mine, total excavated area will be 2.70 ha.,
which will be left over for water reservoir which would have a
positive impact by recharging the ground water table.As the
continuity of mineral may be goes in depth beyond the present
reserves limit. Thus at this stage reclamation is not proposed. The
scheme of reclamation will be provided at proper time. Presently
the excavated land is proposed to use as water reservoir, which
would have a positive impact by recharging the ground water table.
Total mining area is 3.0 ha. Landuse planning is given below:

Post Plantation Care:
The post plantation care will be an important aspect to be taken care of for better survival and
growth rate of plantation. The following care will be taken:
Stone fencing will be provided at the plantation site. Fencing will help in preventing cattle
from entering in to such area and will protect unauthorized entry of outside person and from
fire. Due care will be taken to protect plantation as well as guard to be appointed for
supervision.
During dry weather, water will be sprinkled over plantation using pipe line connected to bore
well.
Initially fertilizer will be given to the pits before and after plantation. Thereafter, manuring
will be continued on reduced scale till the plant attains growth of 2 to 3 m height. Provision of
utilizing bio-manure will also be made within the lease area.
Protection from pest like white ant etc will be done during the plantation and in the proposed
pit 10gms of BSC powder will be given before scheme plantation. After a few months liquid
pesticide mixed with 100 time water will be spread near the scheme planted sapling.
Man power will be engaged in mulching the soil frequently along with removal of weeds.
All safeguards for growing trees will be taken care and if any lost would be replaced. The rate
of survival is expected 83%.

About 1,57,010 tonnes of waste will be generated during next five
years. Waste will be dumped outside the lease area on common
dump sites located in nearby lease area and Some waste will be
lifted by local habitants and rest waste will be dumped within the
ML area, in an earmarked area of 0.06 hectare for 5.0 m height. The
waste dump is proposed to stabilize by retaining wall of rubble
stones. Stone wall is proposed of 1.0 m height and 2.0 m width
towards lower altitude side which will prevent the spreading of
waste. Further, a garland drain is proposed towards lower side of the
dumps to check the wash off from the dumps/ to check the silt
during monsoon. Plantation is also proposed over the matured
dumps for stabilization.

Personnel (Skilled Labour- 6, Semi- Skilled Labour- 6, Unskilled
Labour- 20) and indirectly to 30-40 personnel. The quality and
living standards of the people and communities in this area will be
enhanced due to the mining operations. No tribal population is
exists near the ML area and in its nearest vicinity.
The proposed project will help in meeting the demand of marble
in the region as well as country.
There will be positive impact of project by getting opportunity
for employment and development of this area.
Better socio economic conditions in the surrounding villages.
Improvement of local and regional economy.
Improvement of standard of living condition of the local people.
Due to frequent failure of the monsoon in the region, area is
facing acute water crisis. There for mining pit will be converted
into a small water reservoir, which shall be a gainful post mining
scenario to the society.
Corporate social responsibility activities will be further strengthened
for the development of nearby villages. Details of which are given
above at Point No. - 6 (iv).
