1.5.4. PROPOSED RATE OF PRODUCTION WHEN MINE IS FULLY DEVELOPED
The proposed exploration will establish and improve the resource up to 340 m above MSL
i.e. upto 80 m depth below the general ground level. For the present, rate of production of
ROM ore will be around 1.5 million tonnes per annum but after proposed exploration the
proposed rate of production will be around 3.0 million tonnes to obtain 1.00 million tonnes
of concentrate of iron ore from 10th year onward. With projected rate of production the life of
the mine is expected to be about 20 years.
1.5.5 CONCEPTUAL MINING PLAN The lease area consists of the following blocks:-
1. Lampiya North Block, and
2. Lampiya South Block
The reserves have been established and categorised on the basis of exploration done so
far.
Executive Summary-Jindal Saw Limited

1.5.5.1. LAMPIYA SOUTH BLOCK
The block contains total reserve of 20.3537 million tonnes upto 340m R.L. i.e. upto 80 m
depth below general ground level R.L. The ore body has a length of 2360 meters in NE-SW
direction dipping at 400 to 600 towards SE.
(i) Ultimate extent and size of the pit. At the end of first five years, the pit will have maximum length of 2175 meter, width
of 150 meter and depth of 50 meters (420 m RL a.m.s.l.) . The ultimate size of the
pit based on the existing reserves will be 2265 m X 308 m X 105 m having 10 m
high and 15 m wide benches, 10 in the hanging wall and 9 in foot wall.
(ii) Final slope angle to be adopted. With 10 m height and 12 to 14 m width benches, the final slope angle will be 38o.
(iii) Ultimate capacity of Dumps. Total quantity of overburden to be removed from the pit during first five years will be
12.27 million m3.Quantity of overburden to be removed in the 6th year to ultimate pit
limit will be 26.6 million m3.The overburden of first five years will be stacked in an
area of 16.7 hect by dumping upto 30m height. The overburden of 6th year to
ultimate pit limit period will be dumped over an area of 75.0 hect upto 40 m height.
The overburden will be dumped by forming 10 m wide terrace after every 10 m
height.
(iv) Post Mining Reclamation Plan including Afforestation. The concentrate / overburden ratio will be 1:30, hence plenty of waste rock and
material will be available for filling back the exhausted pits.
The top soil available at the slope will be removed before the working reaches there
and will be stacked on plain ground for future use.
After filling this void, the top soil will be laid down over the backfilled area and dense
plantation will be done on 3mX 3m pattern as per MOE& F guidelines. The area will
thus be available for forestry.
1.5.5.2 LAMPIYA NORTH BLOCK :- The block contains total reserves of 7.419 million in Lampiya North upto 340m MSL. The
ore body has total length of 1920 meter. The strike direction is NE-SW to SE to South
direction and dip varies from 400 to 600 towards W.

(ii) Final slope angle to be adopted. With 10 meters high and 15 meters wide benches, the final slope angle will be 360.
(iii) Ultimate capacity of Dump Total quantity of over burden to be removed from 6th year to 10th years from the pit
will be 3.92 million m3. Quantity of overburden to be removed from 11th year to
ultimate pit limit will be 14.5 million m3. The over burden of 6th to 10th years will be
dumped over an area of 14.37 hect, by dumping up to 30 meter height with terraces
at 10m and 20m height, with the width of 10m. It is proposed to work the pit over a
length of 1000m in first phase upto ultimate pit limit by the end of 15th year and then
use it for dumping OB to be generated from mining in remaining 530m long pit. Need
for dumping space will thus reduce to a great extent say to 55 hect.
(iv) Post Mining Reclamation Plan including Afforestation
Reclamation will start from 16th year by which time 1000 length will reach UPL
(depth and width). It will be filled with dumps of remaining 530m long part of the
deposit. The remaining 530m long area will be back filled with OB generated from
after 15th year of working.
1.6 BLASTING
Blasting will be carried out in over burden as well as mineralized zone by heavy blasting.
The hanging wall will be blasted first to provide free face for ore body to avoid mixing of
waste with ore. The footwall bench will also be kept away from the ore zone. Blast hole
drilling will be done by 6½” diameter wagon drills. The holes will be 11m deep, spacing at
4.5m and burden of 4.00m.

2.3 WATER ENVIRONMENT 2.3.1. SURFACE WATER
The lease area contains one retaining dam and one small tank to store rain water on the
surface. In buffer zone Kothari river flows from west to east at a distance of about 1.5 km
SW of the lease boundary. This river flows only during rainy season for about 2 months and
remains dry for rest of 10 months.
2.3.2 GROUND WATER The mining activity will be done at 340 MSL in the last leg of the mine i.e. conceptual phase.
The ground water table varies 360 MSL (Pre-Monsoon) and 375 m MSL (Post Monsoon). At
the end of 5th year the maximum depth reached will be 420 m MSL in Lampiya South Block
and at the end of life of mine the working depth will be 340 m MSL. Clearance from CGWA
will be obtained when the mine workings will be carried near water table.

2.5 BIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENT –
The lease area as well as buffer zone area reveals no endangered and endemic
species of flora and fauna in the area.
3.0 MINERAL BENEFICIATION
About 10,000 tonnes Ore from the mine benches will be transported to the beneficiation
plant and dumped at the grizzle, having 500 mm openings. A rock breaker will be provided
at the grizzle to break the oversize coming from the mine, to -500 mm size.
The ore will be crushed to 120 mm size by gyratory crusher of 1500 tonnes hourly capacity
and to 20 mm and 6 mm size by cone crushers. On screening the crushed material, the +6
mm size will be fed back to the cone crusher and -6 mm size will be subjected to first stage
magnetic separation to separate the gangue and magnetic ore.
Executive Summary-Jindal Saw Limited
15
The non magnetic gangue will be dumped as coarse tailing which will be screened in
rotatory trommel having 2 mm openings. The -6 mm and +2 mm size gangue may find use
as sand / bajri and may be marketed
The -6mm size magnetic ore will be despatched to the main beneficiation plant located at
Dhedwas Iron ore mine of the company for further beneficiation to Obtain, concentration
containing 65% to 67% Fe.
3.1 Water Requirement
At Lampiya Mine, 70 KLD water will be required for human consumption, dust
suppression, plantation and for radiator of mobile and stationary machines. Total
quantity of fresh water required will be 50 KLD and 20 KLD will be obtained from
recycling. The quantity will be available from supply of water from Kothari Dam,
sanctioned by the State Government.
4.0 AIR MODELING 4.1 AIR QUALITY MODELLING
In order to predict the particulate emissions, Gaussian’s mathematical expression
was used to predict changes in air quality i.e., maximum ground level concentration
(GLC’s) of particulate matter, due to the various mining activities of the proposed
mine. The summary of emissions of total suspended particulars (without EMP) from
different mining activities are given below: -
Activity Type of source
Emission factor Emission rate
Drilling Point 0.1 kg/hole (Mineral working) 0.59 kg/hole (OB working)
4 kg/day (Mineral working) 47.2 kg/day (OB working)
Excavation Area 9.4 kg/hr (Mineral working) 8.3 kg/hr (OB working)
676.8 kg/day (Mineral working) 796.8 kg/day) (OB working)
Truck loading Area 0.03 kg/tonne of material 0.02 kg/ tonne of OB
705 kg/day (Mineral working) 772 kg/day (OB working)
Transportation (haulage road)
Line 3.8 kg/vehicle-km-travelled (Mineral) 3.8 kg/vehicle-km-travelled (OB)
1490 kg/day (Mineral working) 24434 kg/day (OB working)
Since the mining operations will be carried on systematic and scientific lines by making
pucca haul roads and quenching the dust at the source itself the impact will be very limited.
During blasting operations, a momentary cloud of dust and fumes is formed which is
dispersed over gradually. The ambient air analysis conducted reveals that the regional
background emissions and ambient air quality emission in the lease area are well within the
norms.

7. MEASURES OF SOCIO-ECONOMIC INFLUENCE TO LOCAL COMMUNITY
(i) The area is moderately backward where majority of people depend on
agriculture in semi-arid area. The agriculture depends mainly on rain, which
is erratic and irregular. The project will provide job to some 300 local people
directly for mining and allied work earning Rs. 100/- to Rs. 150/- per day
through out the year as against Rs. 30/- to Rs. 50/- that too for 2 to 3 months
in a year. Thus, the general economic status of local people will improve.
(ii) A number of schools, private as well as of government will run in the core
and buffer zone.
(iii) Market, Carpentry, black-smithy and vehicle repair shops will come up in the
locality giving employment to a large number of persons.
(iv) The local people will be given vocational training for working in the mine and
allied work to enhance their skills for safe and systematic work.
(v) Periodic medical check up of all workers will be conducted providing they free
medical facilities. The medical team of the project will set up medical camps
in nearby villages regularly to check the health of the people and provide free
medical advice and facilities.
(vi) Local people will be motivated for being more environment friendly and
conscious for planting and nurturing trees in their local surroundings. For this
purpose, every year some 1000 to 2000 saplings of plant including fruit
bearing plants will be distributed and persons having best records of survival
of plants will be rewarded every year.
(vii) Local schools and Panchayat Bhawan will be provided with sanitation
facilities including drinking water supply arrangements.
(viii) Scholarships will be awarded to meritorious and needy students of nearby
schools to encourage them to go for higher technical education.
(ix) Annual Sports will be arranged on Panchayat Level to promote
sportsmanship.
(x) Buildings of the local worship places within Core and Buffer Zones will be
renovated.
(xi) Donations will be given for local festivals.
