3.0 MINING ACTIVITY

Geology and Reserves

Regional Geological setup

REGIONAL GEOLOGY : The region has Kadapa system of rocks where statigraphy is

established by working of as given below :

Upper Kadapa Krishna series

----Unconformity---- Srisailam Quartzites Kolamnela Shales Iron Shales ----Unconformity----

Nallamalai series

Cubum shales Bairen Konda quartzites --- Unconformity---

Tadapatri shales Pulivendla quartzites ----Unconformity---

Cheyair series

Lower Kadapa Papaghani series

Vempalle dolomitic limestones Gulchere quartzites ----Unconformity----- Archaean gneisses & schist’s

Local Geology

Generally, the area is part of Kadapa basin and is a sedimentary formation. The rock

types generally noticed in the area are clay’s, dolomite, & quartzite’s in succession. The

ML area is completely covered with dolomites with steatite mineralization. It is believed

that Steatite mineralization is occurred due to metamorphic activity in dolomitic

limestone’s. In general the chemical composition of dolomitic limestone is double

carbonates of Calcium & Magnesium Silica & Alumina. When dolomitic limestone

subjected to metamorphism & reacted at suitable conditions with water, the dolomitic

limestone altered into hydrous magnesium silicate which is precisely Steatite, Calcium

& magnesium Carbonate which is Dolomite & Aluminium silicates which are low grade

steatite. Detailed study has been conducted in the working pits & noticed the following

rock types. Surface soil, Dolomite, Dolomitic lime stone & Steatite.

The existence of Dolomite, Dolomitic lime stone & the steatite vein is observed. In the

lease area the Dolomite & steatite high grade & steatite low grade (filler grade) is

occurring almost as alternative bands & surface area is most of dolomitic limestone &

Dolomite patches with low grade steatite bands. The rock formations are uniform

bedded deposit & there is no structural disturbance. The color of steatite is a light cream

12 | P a g e

& light Green color. The strike length of Dolomite and Steatite zone in the applied area is

506m in NE –SW. The average width of the zone is observed about 10m in the Dolomite

and Steatite zone the recovery is observed only 90 % and balance 10% will be

intercalated waste. Within the steatite ore there will be about 20% of Low grade steatite

i.e. filler grade. Alternate bands the contact of steatite at the wall rock with dolomite

both on hanging as well as foot wall is not sharp. But admixed with dolomite gradually

merging to pure dolomite which is the country rock while steatite is comparatively soft

to excavate the dolomite is hard.

Around the applied area, there are some mining lease areas and old working pits exist in

the same strike direction and depth of the old working pits are about 5m to 100m

depth. In the steatite mineralized area the Dolomite with alternate beds of Low grade

Steatite and High Steatite are exposed where as in non steatite mineralized zone the

Dolomite & low grade steatite with alternate bands is massive and shows no signs of

any alteration. The colour of dolomite is black and cream. No other structural

disturbances like fold & fault are observed in the ML area. The colour of steatite are

light cream and light green. No other structural disturbances like fold & fault are

observed in the ML area.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION WITH PROCESS DETAILS

Method of Mining

a) Type of Mining:

Considering the geology and nature of the mineral occurrence and also due to stable

strata condition, the proposed mining will be carried out by underground 'Bord &

pillar' method. It is proposed to open one incline along the dip direction on eastern side

of the pit-I and it will be used as 'man-way'. One more parallel incline shall be opened

on western side of the pit-1, keeping a distance of more than 40m, which will also be

used as haulage. For every 40m horizontal distance one cross (level) cut will be made to

connect the two inclines of haulage & man way in systematic manner as described

below and shown on Plate No. 5.

b) Extent of Mechanization

For conducting of the proposed underground operations the following equipment will

be required.

Description No. of Units Diesel/electrically operated compressor (400 cfm/mt) 02 Jack hammers 04 Hoist/Winder (12 HP) with skip 02 Mechanical Ventilator (5 Kw/25mm wg Exhaust fan) 02 Pumps (10 HP) 04 Tipping tubs (0.5 tonnes capacity) 06 Track line 500 m Cap lamps 40 nos G.I. Pipe line 75mm 200m

Raw Material Required Along With Estimated Quantity, Likely Source, Marketing

Area of Final Product/S, Mode of Transport of Raw Material and Finished Product

No raw material will be required in the project. The operation involves the extraction of

Dolomite & Steatite and dumping in stock yard. The Dolomite & Steatite mineral will be

transported through hired trucks to the industries.

Use of Mineral

Dolomite & Steatite will be used in domestic market. Its hard nature made it a very

suitable and durable material for most Civil Engineering and Construction works. It is

used in different ways.

Processing

Processing of Dolomite & Steatite is not involved.

Resource Optimization/ Recycling and Reuse

Not envisaged.

Availability of Water Its Source, Energy/ Power Requirement and Source

Water Requirement

Water is required only for drinking purposes, green belt, wire saw cutting and dust

suppression. The number of working people is around 30 so the total water

requirement will be around 6.0 KLD. This water will be supplied from tankers/bore

wells of nearby area.

Environmental Management Measures specific to the above subject mine are detailed

under the following heads

1. Air Environment

2. Noise Environment

3. Water Environment

4. Land Environment

5. Socio Welfare Measures

6. Occupation Safety and Health Measures

7. Budget for Environmental Protection/management Measures 1. AIR ENVIRONMENT

a) Sources of Air Pollution

Main pollution from the subject Mine is Dust/ Particulate Matter/ Fugitive dust.

The following are the identified sources of emission of dust during mining

activity:

Line Drilling

Block cutting

Excavation

Dressing

Loading and Transportation

Dumping

b) Air Pollution Control Measures

The measures proposed for implementation are listed below

17 | P a g e

1. Water sprinkling will be done for dust suppression using Water Tankers

having provision of sprinkling on dump yards and haul roads will be used.

2. Dust Masks will be provided for the workers based on work area

3. Afforestation around the lease boundary of the applied area

4. Transportation vehicles will be covered by tarpaulin covers

5. Properly designed blasting operation.

6. Proper maintenance of the machinery/vehicles

The fugitive dust emissions from the mining activities of all six mines when in operation

will be minimum as the mining methodology is by underground drill & line method so

the fugitive dust will be very less.

The movement of vehicles for transportation of mineral will depend upon the market, at

the maximum about 15-20 tippers will ply to need the market demand so the emissions

of fugitive dust and vechiluar emissions will be very minimal

The predictions of GLC,s was calculated based on the FDM model to now the GLC,s within

the core zone of cluster mines is for PM10 is <5 µg/m3 and for PM2.5 is <5 µg/m3 and for

SO2 is <5 µg/m3 and for NOx is < 5 µg/m3 and in the buffer zone within the cluster mines

is for PM10 is 3 µg/m3 and for PM2.5 is <3 µg/m3 and for SO2 is <3 µg/m3 and for NOx is <

3 µg/m3
