This is an existing mine. Proposal for obtaining Environmental Clearance of Silica Sand

& Soap Stone Mining lease with production capacity 69,180 TPA near Village- Dantli,

Tehsil & District: Dausa .The Lease area is 4.6380 ha.

(iii) Need for the Project & Its Importance to the Country/ Region

The silica Sand (friable quartzite) uses in foundry industries at Indore and at other

places. This Silica Sand is also uses in silicate industries of Punjab, Haryana, Himachal.

The mining activities will increase better employment opportunities. Average income

level which is the indicator of socio-economic status of house hold is expected that it will

uplift the economic standard. Thus, to improve quantity of life and prosperity.

(iv) Demand – Supply Gap

Considering the demand of mineral sufficient availability of the mineral in the area, it is

essential to have Silica Sand & Soap Stone Mine to sustain the supply of mineral in silicate

industries.

(v) Imports vs. Indigenous Production

The Silica Sand (friable quartzite) uses in foundry industries at Indore and at other places.

(4) Method of Mining

Proposed method of mining will be semi mechanized opencast by forming proper benches.

The mining is proposed as per present situation of the deposit.

Excavation is proposed by blasting. Hydraulic excavator/loader is proposed for removal and

loading of blasted stone.The haul/ approach roads will be provided wide, with 1 in 16 gradient

for easy movement of vehicles and to reduce th enoise from vehicular movement and its

propagation in near by area(outside the mining lease area). The stone and waste are proposed

to be transported by tractor trolley and tippers.

The mining will be carried out by opencast method by developing the bench of height 5-6 m

height and width. Four slices are considered in a bench. The calculations are as per the four

slices of a bench. Thus the end position of the bench is 6 meter height. Width is also proposed

6 meter.
