Mining Method:

It is proposed to work the pit by open cast mining method. Loosening of stratum

will be done by jack hammer drilling and blasting. Bench Parameters will be

designed to suit the way of working. Height of the bench will be 3m width of the

bench will be at least 5m. Road will be taken to the working bench. It is proposed to

cut top 3m slice of the stratum to achieve the yearly production.

Requirement of explosives will be

A magazine of suitable storage capacity is proposed to be constructed as per

existing rules, to store the explosives.

Loading: Both sized Limestone, intercalated waste and OB will be loaded by

hydraulic excavators into dumpers to be sent to crushing plant and to cement plant

by dedicated conveyor belt.

Site Services: Mines office, first aid room, drinking water, rest shed, tool room, fuel

shed crusher and toilets will be provided in the mine area, for use of the workers.

Mine Drainage: Drilling done upto 30 m depth did not encounter sub surface

water. Thus no mine seepage is anticipated. Rain water accumulated in the pit

during the rainy season, will be desilted and pumped out in to the nearby seasonal

nala.

Mine Closer Plan

Reclamation of Land used for Mining:

No part of the applied area is expected to be totally mined out in the first five year

period.

In the ultimate context proposed mining will result in a pit spread over about 74.49

ha, with a maximum depth of 30 m BGL;

In the absence of waste material the pit cannot be reclaimed by back filling. Thus it

will be left open to serve as a reservoir for storing rain water and mine seepage if

any. The giant water body thus resulting may be duly landscaped and used as a

source of plant process. This may serve as a good tourist attraction.
