CHAPTER 3

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

3.1 METHOD OF MINING

No change in the method of quarrying. The same open cast mechanized quarrying with 6mtr

vertical bench with a bench width of 3mtr has been followed because of sheet rock without

major tectonic distance. Under the regulation 106(2) (b) of the Metallurgical mines

Regulation 1961, in all open cast quarrying, the bench height should not exceed 5mtr and

bench width should not be less than bench height. The slope of the bench should not exceed

60° from horizontal, however being a dimensional cutting stones, vertical face shall be kept

with overall pit slope of 45°.

But as far as the quarrying of granites dimensional stones are concerned, observance of the

provisions of regulation 106(2) (b) as above is seldom possible due to various inherent petro

genetic & quarrying difficulties. Hence, it is proposed to obtain relaxation to the provisions of

the above regulation from the Director of mines safety, Chennai for which necessary

provision is available with the regulation 10(2) (b). The production of multicolor granite

dimensional stone in this quarry involves the following methods typical for granite stone

quarrying in contrast to other major mining.

3.1.1. FOR OPERATION

The Operations of granite quarry require the following loose tools materials and has to be

kept sufficiently in stock for non-interruption of the quarry work.

1. Drill rods-0.3m, 0.4m, 0.5m, 0.6m, 0.75m, 1.65m, 2.25m, 3m, and 3.6m.

2. Steel Alloy chains of sufficient length of 12mm, 16mm and 18mm sizes.

3. “D” shackles to link the chain lengths.

4. Rubber hose of required length.

5. Hose clamps to link the compressors delivery hoses.

6. Feather and wedges of 6”and 12” dia sizes utilize for splitting the block from the

mother rock. This is an important tool in the operation of quarry.

7. Crow bars.

8. Spades

9. Sludge hammer

10. Iron pans

11. Pitcher hammer

12. Chisels


13

13. Consumables such as diesel, Hydraulic oil etc.

14. Stock of essential spares parts of machinery.

15. Explosive as per the licensed quantity “M” type portable Magazine with

accessories.

In addition to the above the wire saw equipment, diamond cutting wires and other accessories

are used for releasing the rough blocks, waste rock mass from sheet rocks. The above

machineries are adequate to meet out the simultaneous development and production schedule

drawn out in this scheme of quarrying.

3.1.2 DRILLING

Conventional 32mm dia blast holes will be drilled by using portable compressor (Shown in

figure 3.1) along with jack hammers perfectly parallel to each other at 30-40cm intervals

without any hole deviation, all along the required plane of splitting. The holes are drilled up

to a depth up to few centimeters above the required horizontal plane. The depth of each hole

is 2.5m for 3m bench height and the burden from preface depends upon the size of blocks.

However, it is preferred to have less than 1m burden from the preface for splitting of blocks

effectively. The spacing should be adjusted less than 30 cm, in case of burden if excess of

1.5m. Details of Drilling equipments are in table 3.1.

Diamond Wire saw cutting is an eco friendly method of quarrying with high rate of recovery,

thereby the conservation aspects of GCDR, 1999 is perfectly fulfilled.

3.1.3. a) BLASTING

A Controlled Blasting Technique Is Adopted To Open A Pre-Determined Crack Of

The Block From The Parent Body. Shot-Hole With 32-40mm Dia. Which Are Drilled

By Line Drilling And Jack Hammers At A Close Spaced Interval Of 30 Cms Will Be

Initiated Suitably With Any One Or More Of The Following Methods,

I) Pre-Splitting

II) Cushing Blasting With Low Strength And Very Low Dia. Cartridges Axial

Priming Or Standard Dia. Cartridge With Intermittent Stemming Materials.

III)Water Impulsion With Detonating Cords Of Sufficient Power, Preferably

10gms Per Metre To Develop Cracks Along The Line Of Drilling,

Figure 3.2.: Shot holes with low explosives connected with Detonating Cord (Trunk

Line)

In watery holes, the detonating fuse is directly used and water act as a cushion to move the

blocks and form a line of crack. In other cases, small vibration created by low explosives

open the artificial shear plane \tensional crack formed by a line of drilling. Sometimes

wedges are used to cut the major blocks into smaller sizes after drilling of holes to a depth of

30-40 cm. Then the blocks are dressed to desire sizes.

3.1.3 b) TYPE OF EXPLOSIVES

Common Explosives Used To Develop A Line Of Crack Along The Line Of Drilling

Are,

I) Detonating Fuse Or Cord With 5-10gms Of Expl. Per Metre,

Ii) Low Explosives Like Gun Powder Or 70 Gms Of Slurry Cartridges,

3.3 METHODS OF ESTIMATION OF RESERVES

The geological plan demarking the commercially viable granite body has been prepared in

1:2000 scales (Plate No. IV). four sections have been drawn, four along in the scale 1; 2000

sections are width wise vertically AA’ & BB’ which is suitable chosen to cover the maximum

area, in the scale of Horizontal: 1:2000 & vertically 1:2000 respectively. (Plate No.IV).

The cross sectional area for the proved depth persistence of 20m (20m multicolor granite has

been worked out for each section. The cross sectional area multiplied by its length of

influence on the longer axis gives the volume (insitu) in the cross sectional area. The sum

total of the insitu reserves available within the individual cross sectional area gives the

Geological resources of the lease hold area. Form the total Geological insitu resources, based

on the present fresh granite after removal of overburden the recovery is anticipated 20% and

the geological and mineable resources are calculated, the quantity of saleable granite stone

and quantity rejects and waste generation are computed by applying recovery factory as 20%

by volume. As the saleable multi granite stone are in term of cubic meters (volume) only and

not in term of tonnage as in the case of major industrial mining, the geological reserves,

mineable reserves and quantum of waste generated etc, are given only in term of cubic meter

volume. The details of estimation of geological resources and mineable reserves with

reference to the geological plan & cross section and conceptual plan & section as shown in

(Plate No.VI & VIII) respectively.

4.2 GEOLOGY:

4.2.1 Geology of the area:

This area forms a part of peninsular gneiss the most wide spread group of rocks in many parts

of Tamil Nadu. The southern domain of Tamil Nadu is characterized by the Khondalite group

of rocks (with subordinate amount of Charnockites) and marked by the absence of BMQ and

dolerite dyke systems. The rock formation is popularly known as multicolor granite

(leptynite) essentially made up of a supra crustal assemblages of quartz and feldspar as major

constituents (±silimanite ±graphite ±granet ±magnetite), closely inter banded with calc –

silicate rocks and dolomite, as well as Garnetiferous gneiss or schist, occurring within a vast

area of Biotite gneiss (±garnet). The lease applied area comprises granite gneiss popularly

teed as “Madurai Gneiss”

The rock around Melur can be broadly classified into Khondalite and Charnockite groups of

rocks. Khondalite group in this area is essentially made up of calc- granulite/ crytaline

limestone and garnetiferous sillimanite gneiss, with minor bands of quartz Charnockite group

on the other hand includes the acid to intermediate Charnockites with minor bands of two

pyroxene granulite. Both the group of rocks ware later migmatised and reconstituted giving

rise to grey colored migmatite compressing hornblende Biotite gneiss, as well as garnet

Biotite gneiss and garnetiferous quartz feldspathic granulite. The intrusions of younger pink

granite as well as pink pegmatoidal granite had converted part of the grey migmatite into pink

magmatite gneiss and pink augen gneiss. The white granite garnetiferous quartzo-feldapathic

granulite occurring east of Melur is considered to be reconstituted garnetiferous silimanite

gneiss while the pink augen gneiss well developed near Tiruchchunai is dude to blastic

growth of pink potash feldspar augen within the gray Biotite gneiss. A number of minor

pegmatite and quartz veins represent the last stage intrusive activity in the area.

Only four may have commercial significance based on their colour, texture, pattern, massive

nature etc., and they are as follows.
