2.0 INTRODUCTION OF THE PROJECT/BACKGROUND INFORMATION
2.1 Identification of Project and Project Proponent
Dhaneshwar Sand Stone Mining project (M. L. No. 139/92) is situated at
Village - Dhaneshwar , Tehsil- Bundi, District- Bundi, and State- Rajasthan
over an area of 1.5 ha. Initially the mining lease was granted in favour of
Shri Suresh Kumar Kumawat S/o Shri Sitaram Kumawat R/o- Gram Moja,
District- Sikar (Raj.) vide order no. 06 on dated 26/03/1992 and agreement
executed on dated 20/05/1992 for 20 years.
The mining lease was transfer in favor Shri Madan Lal Kumawat S/o Shri
Nanuram Kumawat R/o- Village: Dhaeshwar, Tehsil- Bundi, District- Bundi
(Raj). The mining lease period was extended for 10 years vide order no. Kha
A/Bundi-I/CC-4/ML 138(92)/2577 dated-17/07/2012. (26/08/1992 to
25/08/2022).
2.2 Brief Information about the Project
The project has been proposed for mining of Mineral Sandstone by adopting
opencast mechanized mining method.
2.3 Need for the Project and Its Importance to the Country or Region
Today in India Sandstone is used widely in domestic construction sector,
monuments construction markets, hospitality industry, export market and
handicraft and antiques. The material is starting to be more well-known and
popular because of technological advancements, sophisticated quarrying
techniques, and decreased cost of mining and growth in usage as material in
the decoration sector. Sandstone as material is showing beauty and long-
lasting value and therefore people have started to use it more and more in
memorials and in other funerary items. Today Sandstone is popular material
in laying floors and cladding walls in airports, hotels and other public and
commercial centers.
2.4 Demands-Supply Gap
The demand for Sandstone is ever growing with the growth of the
infrastructure sector in our country. The mineral is used in the
construction activities like buildings, structures. 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.
3
2.5 Imports vs. Indigenous Production
Development needs will be met only through indigenous produced
Sandstone material against the high cost of imported material.
2.6 Export Possibility
There is no proposal to export the Sandstone. However, Sandstone produced
from the mine will fulfill the needs of the region and surplus if any, will be
considered for export.
2.7 Domestic/ Export Markets
Domestic Market
The mineral is used in Tiles flooring, column making, graveyard, pre
fabrication unit, statue making and in small usages like monument of table
top, name plate, vases, candle holder etc.
Export Market
The proposed mining activity is for indigenous consumption only for real
state, decorative accessories etc.
2.8 Employment Generation
The proposed mining activity will provide employment to about 13 workers.
The workers will be hired mostly from the nearby villages.
3.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION
3.1 Type of Project Including Interlinked and Interdependent
Projects, If Any.

The rocks of Hindoli group of Bhilwara Supergroup has occuried NE-NW
part of the district and extends from village Hindoli and khinya in the west
to the village Dabi in east. Insrusives like granite & dolerites are exposed
near village Basni, Deva ka khera & Odhnda of Hindoli tehsill of Bundi
district. General trend of rocks is N 400 E with 600 NW dip.
Lakheri Limestone of Bhander group occurs in between greenish grey
sacaria shale above and reddish brown Ganurgarh shale below and marked
by intraformational conglomertate & breccia at the base and extends
intermittently for about 80 kms. In 1-2 kms. Wide belt upto Indergarh.
Samaria shale is overlain by Bundi hill sandstone. Bundi hill sandstone
onatitute the Bundi hill and mostly in the southern part of district. The
Sirbu shale is conformably underlain by the Bundi hill sandstone and
overlain by Maiher sandstone ocurring in eastern, southern and western
part of the district. The limestone of Sirbu shale is generally confined in

3.6 Reserve Estimation
The following Parameters have been considered while estimating the
geological reserves (in situ):
1. Average 0.5m cover has been considered as soil and 13m cover has been
considered as fractured Sandstone (Waste). Recovery of fractured Sandstone
8
1% to 10% (Cobbles/small pieces of sand stone) now we are considering as
10% recovery of fractured sand stone (waste) for the next five year planning
2. Average 2.5m cover has been considered as salable sandstone in proved
category. Recovery of salable Sandstone may be considered as 70%.
Project Description with Process Details
3.6.1 Method of Mining
The Sand Stone mine shall be developed by Mechanized opencast Mining.
The mineral is lying on the sub surface therefore open cast mining has been
the obvious choice.
For splitable sandstone Benches.
Overburden shall be removed on contractual basis. Machineries for the
overburden removal shall be on contract basis as when required. Required
more machine shall be taken on rent basis to achieve the production.

No construction activities are proposed. The mining activity will
commence only after receiving environmental clearance and other
statutory clearance.
8.2 Estimated Project Cost along with analysis in Terms of Economic
Viability of the
Project
Estimated project cost is Rs. 30 lakh. The lessee has all the mining
equipments used for the scientific mining. The mine is Eco-Friendly.
Economically the ore is mineable as compared to overburden thickness.
The entire mineable reserve as estimated is categorized as 121.
9.0 ANALYSIS OF PROPOSAL (FINAL RECOMMENDATIONS)
The proposed mine will bring economical benefits to the state by the way
of Royalty for mineral and to the local people by way of direct and
secondary employment opportunities. Sandstone is used for a variety of
structural and decorative purposes. The material is in high demand at
the local market for real estate industry.
The project will bring about socio-economic improvement of the area and
will prove beneficial to the area.
