(3) ESTIMATION OF RESERVES

Proved reserves : 418190 tonnes

Probable reserves : 617500 tonnes

Mineable Reserves : 247000 tonnes

(4) MINEABLE RESERVES AND ANTICIPATED LIFE OF THE MINE

The Mineable reserves of Quartzite (Masonry Stone) have been calculated by taking

into account the reserves in proved and probable category only. The mineable

reserves are 1035690 tonnes and life of mine is 7 years.
