Regional Geology The eastern part of the area is mainly occupied by Ajabgarh series and Erinpura granite and pegmatite where as amphibolites of pre and post Erinpura granite, schist & phyliites of Ajabgarh group are forming isolated and detached hillocks in western part. Ajabgarh group is represented by calc-schist, calc-gneiss, mica-schist, phyliites, limestones and impure coarse grained limestone and quartzite where as rocks of pre and post Erinpura granite are represented by amphibolites and hornblende schist. The strartgraphic succession established by Colsun is mentioned below

Post Delhi Intrusives Soil & Cultivated fields Pegmatite &Quartz veins Erinpura Granites Hornblende and Amphibolites

Delhi Super Group Ajabgarh Group Limestone, Calc-schist & gneisses Mica schist, Phyliites and Quartzite

The general trend of rocks of Ajabgarh group varies from N45

0-70

0E to S45

0-70

0W with steep dips due

SE. The pre-dominant rocks of Ajabgarh group are schist, limestone and impure limestone, which cover wide part of this terrain. The spread of calcareous rocks are found in the east and south east of Pindwara which continues up to Amli village.

Geology of Lease Area The Mining lease area is mild hilly land. Mainly consist of Limestone rock and various types of lime stone present in this area such as Black Limestone, Gray Limestone and grayish Black Limestone. Geologically Lime stone of lease area belong to Delhi Super Group. The Lime Stone Assigned is Lower Proterozoic Age. The deposit is northern extension of Amli - Pindwara belt of Sirohi district. The limestone is part of Kumbhalgarh Group of rocks of Delhi Supergroup. The rock formation extends from village Thandiberi to north of Bharja village. The strike extension being 9 kms and maximum width is 2.7 kms. The northern part of this limestone is siliceous. Lime stone rock is consist of CaCO3 . In Lime stone CaO content is more than 42.3% hence it is used in Cement Industries. In lease area highest



elevation is 302 mRL and lowest elevation is 270 mRL. The rock is dipping 720

to 800. Lime stone is

Sedimentary rock form by chemical precipitation of lime stone.

Prospecting/ Exploration The preliminary investigations carried out by the Department of Mines & Geology, Govt. of Rajasthan during the year 1982-84 resulted in identifying the cement grade limestone deposit in the area. It occurs in the form of isolated discontinuous outcrops containing 45 to 49% CaO, which can be used as raw material in cement making. With this view Department of Mines & Geology, Govt. of Rajasthan carried out the regional as well as detailed investigation as per norms of prospecting of Cement Research Institute of India during the period 1982 to 1987. To estimate the reserves of limestone along with its grade and to find out the depth continuity. In the year 1982-87 the regional geological mapping and detailed geological mapping and channel sampling work was carried out in the entire Watera limestone belt and prospecting by drilling was carried during the year 1986 to 1987. In the year 1982-83, an area of 30 Sq.km. was covered under RGM and out of this 2 Sq.km. was selected for DGM over a strike length of 3.3 km. The rock types in the area are quartzites, phyllites and limestones of Ajabgarh group. The strike of the rock types varies from N-S to N30°E-S30°W and dips 40°-60° due NW & SE direction between Watera & Khara village. The rock types found in the Watera area are Quartzite, Phyllites and Limestones of Delhi super Group. These are at places intruded by quartz veins. The area under mapping was 3.5 km. In length and 0.6 km. In width with an area of 2 Sq. Km. The quartzites are the oldest rock in the area. These lies in SE part, quartzites generally occupy high hillocks in the area and are conical in shape. Quartzites generally strike N30°E-S30°W and dips 50°-60° due NW. Quartzites are massive in colour. Phyllites follows the quartzites in the west which mainly cover the valley portion, slopes of the hills and fields. These are argillaceous and micaceous in nature. The strike of foliation of phyllites vary from N10°E-S10°W to N30°E-S30°W and dips 50° due west. At places dips are vertical. IN the NE of the area limestone is intercalated in the phyllites. The limestone also looks phyllitic in nature in this portion. In the west of phyllites limestone is exposed in seven hillocks trending N30°E-S30°W in the east of Watera village.

It was planned to put bore holes at 200 m strike interval covering the entire strike length of limestone band to prove the cement grade limestone up to 20 m bgl. And to cover maximum width and synclinal structure of limestone, two bore holes were put from the same foundation on either direction. Two Bore holes were drilled at hole position 1, 2, 3, 4 & 9 and designated as A & B. All the 16 bore holes were drilled between 20.0 m to 51.0 m inclined depth. The bore hole details of drilling, inclination, depth & direction of the holes falling in lease area are given below: DMG drilled 16 core bore holes but only 11 holes are falling within the lease area.

Dump Re-handling: No old dump exists in the area. It is a new applied area.

Brief description of salient features of the proposed method of working: The limestone deposit lies on surface with no overburden. There is no top soil cover over the proposed area of mining for next five years. Deposit is having strike in N-S to N30°E-S30°W direction with 10

0 to 15

0 dip in either

direction. It is proposed to work the deposit by fully mechanised method of mining using drills, excavator and dumper combination. The mine is proposed to produce 1.25 MTPA of ROM when fully developed. This production rate is planned to be achieved in the fifth year of plan period. Following broad design parameters have been considered.

Bench height is proposed to be at 7.0 m. Minimum bench width will be 20-30 m. Individual bench slope will be 80

0 from vertical.

Rock Breaker will be used for secondary breaking. Excavator with bucket capacity 2.1cu.m. will be used for loading of mineral For mineral 20 / 30 t capacity dumpers / tippers will be used. Haul roads will be maintained at minimum gradient of 1:16. Limestone after loading in to dumpers is taken to crusher for sizing. Water sprinkler will be used for dust suppression in the mine. Mine lies in close proximity to habitation and hence all necessary precautions related to blasting

will be taken

Brief description of layout of mine workings, pit road layout of faces and sites for disposal of

overburden / waste along with ground preparation prior to disposal of waste : Mine is planned to be worked by mechanised opencast method of mining. The lease area is in close proximity to village hutments and one seasonal nalla runs through the area. Following preparatory works are proposed to be completed before commencement of mining operations in the area.

Diversion of Nalla; Seasonal nallas entering the ML area needs to be diverted before commencement of mining/ waste dump creation. The diverted nallas will run in the statutory barrier along pillars B-A and join the original seasonal nalla between pillar B & A. The total nalla diversion length will be about 242 m. Final position will be clear during the hydro-geological study of the ML area / core zone.

Statutory barriers: 7.5 m wide statutory barrier along the lease boundary and 300 m radius safety zone around temple will be maintained. No mining is proposed within these zones.

Disposal of waste: There is no overburden but waste will be generated from inter-bands of phyllites & schist. Estimated quantity of waste will be around 05% of ROM. This waste is proposed to be dumped in the SW corner of the lease area. Dump will be of 10 m height and



spread over 0.88 ha. area by the end of plan period. Any incidental top soil generated will be removed separately and simultaneously used for plantation. If required it will be stacked temporarily. Soil stack will be protected by bund all around.

FIRST YEAR For mine planning the area is divided into two Blocks i.e. I & II. Initially it is proposed to develop Block I and from third year onwards Block II will also be opened. Mining in five year plan period is proposed within proved and probable reserves area. Mining in first year is proposed in pit no. 1 in Block No. I. Two benches at 292.0 & 285.0 mRL are proposed to be opened. Existing approach road to the area will be used. There is no top soil cover over the proposed area of mining. Any top soil encountered in the crevices will be used for plantation. During the year 128,012 cu.m. of ROM is proposed to be excavated. Details of area of mining are given in table below. About 05% of ROM is likely to be generated as waste due to intercalated beds of phyllites and schist. This waste will be dumped over the proposed area of waste dump in south-west corner of the lease area. During the year about 2.24 ha. will be degraded by way of pits and approach roads.

Holes will be drilled at an inclination of 10

0 from vertical and 7% sub grade drilling to avoid formation of

toe at the bottom of the bench. Holes will be in staggered pattern in the subsequent rows.

b) Types of Explosive to be used: For the booster charge, any cap-sensitive explosive and for column charge, any non cap-sensitive explosive, mainly ANFO/ SMS Emulking – 100 would be used. The ratio of booster charge to column charge would be 05:95.

c) Powder Factor Assumed Powder factor is 6.0 tons / kg.

d) Secondary Blasting Hydraulic Rock Breaker will be used in place of secondary blasting.

e) Storage of Explosives JKLCL is having explosive magazines at its Basantgarh mine and same magazine will be used for this mine also. No separate magazine is proposed for this mine.

f) Precautionary Measures: As the mining area is in close proximity to human settlements, adequate precautionary measures will be taken as given below: Adequate siren system will be in operation. Legible warning sign in the language understood by the local people. Enough security guards, especially posted on roads etc. Before blasting the upper surface of the bench shall be cleaned off, of any stones lying on top, as it

is a major source of flying stones. The trunk line of the detonating cord shall be covered with sand to reduce air over pressure, as it is

major source of air blast noise. Controlled blasting shall be practiced and only during day time. All safety measures as prescribed under MMR 1961 and circulars issued by DGMS. The danger zone shall be distinctly demarcated (by means of red flags properly arranged and

supported) at least 30 minutes before firing of holes is to commence. Ten minutes before firing, a siren installed for the purpose shall be blown three times for one minute

each at interval of one minute. An effective record of instruction to guards given for working and clearance shall be maintained. No shots shall be fired when there is traffic on any road within danger zone.

Extent of Mechanisation: M/s J K Lakshmi Cement Limited is operating a cement plant and a mine at Basantgarh about 25 km from this area. To reduce the spares inventory, mobility of equipment and efficient utilisation of trained manpower, it is proposed to use the same type of equipment at this mine also.

CONCEPTUAL MINING PLAN Basic and long term mine design parameters are as follows:

i. Mining will be carried out by conventional method of mining by using drills, excavator and dumpers.

ii. Height of benches will be 7 m and width of benches 20-25 m.

iii. 150 mm dia. holes will be drilled & blasted using ANFO and slurry explosive.

iv. Loading is proposed by Excavator of 2.1 cu.m. bucket capacity and loaded in to 30/20 t capacity dumpers.

v. Mine is planned to produce 1.3 MTPA of limestone per year when fully developed and at this rate life of mine is estimated to be 22 years.

Ultimate Pit Limit : The limestone mineralisation is proved up to 250 mRL and ultimate pit depth is planned up to this depth only. Ultimate pit limit is designed keeping in view the statutory barriers. The pits are designed with 7.5 statutory barrier along lease boundary and 300 m safety zone around temple etc. The ultimate pit slope will be 45

0. The mine life and conceptual limits are based on present mineable reserves. In future with

proposed exploration mineral resources / reserves are likely to change and this will result in change of conceptual plan. In the end two pits will be formed and their dimensions will be as follows:

Pit Number Length, in m Width, in m Depth, in m Area, in Ha. Pit bottom, mRL

1 1352 319 44 22.84 250mRL

2 222 270 46 4.931 250mRL

Total 27.771

Post Mining Land Use: The mined out pits will be fenced all around as per DGMS circular at the end of mine life. The pits will be used for rainwater storage. In all the two pits, at places suitable ramps will be provided for access to cattle.

Quantity and Quality of water likely to be encountered, the pumping arrangements and places

where the mine water is finally proposed to be discharged: No mine water is proposed to be discharged outside lease area. Mine water from direct precipitation will be used for water sprinkling and plantation. Water qualities will be monitored regularly. Accumulated rain water will be pumped using diesel engine operated pump to a water tank and used. Shallow ground water of dug well is alkaline in nature with pH ranging from 7.5 to 7.98. The sp. Conductance is within 4500 mmhos/cm at 25

0C but higher values are recorded in very small pockets.

The chloride content varies from 21 ppm to 2978 ppm. The concentration of bi-carbonate varies from 183 ppm to 830 ppm. The fluoride content is generally within 1.5 mg/lit in major part of the district. The concentration of nitrates ranges from 0.16 ppm to 146 ppm. The ground water is moderately hard to very hard in major part of the district.

Regional and Local drainage pattern indicating annual rainfall, catchments area and likely

quantity rain water to flow through the lease area, arrangement for arresting solid wash off etc.



The area is mostly hilly with long and high hills. The hillocks are isolated & scattered in continuous long belt. Cultivated fields are scattered on either side of limestone belt. The drainage is formed by small seasonal nalas flows along the hills which meet to big seasonal nallas flowing E-W cutting across the hills. These seasonal nallas then merge into the Sukli river flowing in this area. The long term average rainfall is 591.1 mm.

Arrangement for arresting solid wash off: Retention wall with garland drain are proposed to be built around waste / rejects dump. Retention walls are built at sufficient distance away. The purpose of retention wall is to arrest silt and rolling material. A drain parallel to retention wall will be made between the dump and retention wall which will act as a dissipater against boulders directly hitting the retention wall and collection of wash off from dump. The face of the retention wall away from the dump filled with vegetative soil and plantation done. This would take care of retention wall weakening over a period of time.

By the end of life of mine 27.771 ha will be degraded as pit out of which plantation will be done over upper two mined out benches, covering an area of 4.870 ha. Remaining pit area of 22.901 ha will be used for rain water storage. This rain water will help in recharging of ground water and for use by local villagers and cattle. In each pit suitable ramps will be provided for access. All around the water filled pits, stone wall will be constructed.

During next five year plan period about 3.0 ha. will be developed as green belt, 0.88 ha. as waste dump and 11.500 ha. area as pit. About 3.000 ha. is proposed to be developed as green belt along the lease boundary during next five year plan period. In addition a nalla diversion will be there over a length of 242.0 m. At the end of life of mine two pits of size 1352 x 319 x 44 m and 222 x 270 x 46 m will be formed. The bottommost bench will at 250 mRL. Plantation will be done over a total area of 20.560 ha. out of which 4.970 will be as green belt along lease boundary, 4.870 ha. over mined out benches and 10.720 ha. over waste dump. Remaining area of pit about 22.901 ha. will be developed as rain water storage facility. Waste dump will be properly stabilised and plantation done over the dumps.

Progressive Reclamation Plan: Land degradation is one of the major adverse impact of opencast & other miscellaneous activities related to mining and any effort to control adverse impacts would be incomplete without appropriate land reclamation strategy. No mined out land shall achieve the final position during the mining scheme period, However, at the end of scheme period (projected) total 11.50 ha. area will be covered under mining and at the end of life of mine will be 27.771 ha. At the end of mining Plan period about 3.0 hect. area will be covered by green belt. Barbed wire fencing will be made around the proposed area of plantation and around mined out area for safety purpose and also plantation will be done.

Location of proposed dumping ground: Dumps are proposed to be located in the area in SW and NE corner of the lease area.

Manner of disposal of waste, configuration and sequence of year wise build up of dumps along

with protective measures: During the first five year of Mining Plan period waste will be generated from the inter-bands of phyllites & schist. The waste will be dumped over in SW and NE corner of the lease area. The total area covered by waste dump will be 0.88 ha. by the end of plan periods and 4.0 ha. area by the end of life of mine. Dump will have two terraces of 10 m height each. On maturity dumps will be stabilised by adopting following measures.

Protective Measures: Waste dump at the conceptual stage will have four terraces. Following protective and stabilisation measures are proposed to prevent rolling of rocks and wash off entering into drainage system of the area:



Final slope of the dump will be divided into terraces with berms in between.

Retention walls: Retention walls are built at sufficient distance away. The purpose of retention wall is to arrest silt and rolling material. A drain parallel to retention wall will be made between the dump and retention wall which will act as a dissipater against boulders directly hitting the retention wall and collection of wash off from dump. The face of the retention wall away from the dump filled with vegetative soil and plantation done. This would take care of retention wall weakening over a period of time.

Each terrace will be provided with Gabion toe wall with multching to promote vegetation.

Coir Matting: Once the part of the dump is matured, the dump slope shall be covered with coir matting and secured with U pins. The coir matting has an advantage of absorbing water and keeping the soil damp. Once the natural vegetation takes over the mat decomposes gradually and disintegrates.

Plantation; Seedlings grown with root trainer will be planted on the slope and floor of the terrace at a spacing of 3 x 3 m. staggered pattern. In between the plants Vetiver or Hemata grass will be grown which has good soil binding characteristics.

At the final stage contour ripping will be done on top of the dump to prevent formation of gullies along the slope of the dump.

Disposal of Waste and Backfilling : During the first five year of Mining Plan period waste will be generated from the inter-bands of phyllites & schist. The waste will be dumped in SW and NE corner of the lease area. The total area covered by waste dump will be 0.88 ha. by the end of plan period and 4.0 ha. area by the end of life of mine. Dump will have two terraces of 10 m height each. On maturity dumps will be stabilised by adopting following measures.

9. Analysis of Proposals (Final Recommendations)

(i) Financial and social benefits with special emphasis on the benefit to the local people

including tribal population, if any in the area:

Based on the growing demand in the state over the next 10 years, the proximity of the project location to this market is an advantage with utilization of mineral limestone for manufacturing of clinker. The financial viability also shows a good rate of return from the project. Considering the above, JKLCL is planning to go ahead with the project, once it gets all the statutory approvals.

Employment: Preference will be given to locals for employment based on qualification & requirement. Medical facilities: Medical facilities will be provided for employees as well as people of nearby villages by conducting various camps under CSR Initiatives Educational facilities: Basic educational and vocational facilities will be provided for the children of employees as well as nearby villagers. Infrastructure facilities: Roads and facility for sanitation and drinking water will be provided for the villages coming under buffer zone of the project area. Additional: The establishment of project will create other source of income for nearby locals by establishing

micro business, opening shops, hotels, local street vendors, etc.
