The lowest contour is 40 M and highest contour is 105 M in topo plan. 2 Drainage Pattern Sub-Dendritic Pattern in N S direction. 3 Vegetation Sparse with thorny bushes in the interstices of joints where soil is existing, areas around the barren rocky land are cultivation lands 4 Climate Semi-Arid. The area is falling under semi-arid tropical zone. The area is having dry climate. The temperature recorded in this area is 25 C in winter and about 48 C in summer seasons. The wind direction is in SW to NE. 5 Rainfall The average annual rainfall of the area is 1,000 mm. 6 Soil Type Heavy Soils 7 Land Use Pattern Agriculture and Cultivated lands 2.0 GEOLOGY AND EXPLORATION a) Brief description of Regional Geology with reference to location of lease / applied area Regional Geology The quarry lease area constitutes a part of Granite and Granitic Gneissic terrain of Archean age. Pink and Grey Coloured Granites, Pink Alkali - Feldspar Granites are the important litho units in the area. Grano Diorites with basic enclaves of Supra - Crystals like Horneblende Schists, Biotite Schists also occupy the area. These rock types are exhibiting various landforms like Domes, Inselbergs, Castle - Koppies, Whalebacks and Linear Ridges. Page 5

6 The geological succession of the area as worked out by GSI (1991) is as follows : RECENT Younger Precambrian Granitiod - Migmatite Complex ALLUVIUM / SOIL COVER Quartz Veins, Pegmatites Dolerites, Gabbro, Pyroxenite Dykes Fine Grained Pink Alkali Feldspar Granite, Medium to Coarse Grained Pink Alkali Feldspar Granite Granite With Mega Crysts of K-Feldspar, very coarse grained Pink Alkali Feldspar Granite Medium to Coarse Grained Pink Granite Migmatite II Fine grained Grey Alkali Feldspar Granite Medium to Coarse Grained Grey Alkali Feldspar Granite Very Coarse - Grained Grey Alkali Feldspar Granite Migmatite I Grano - Diorite Pink Alkali Feldspar is the most dominant rock type in the area with variations in grain size, scattered outcrops of Migmatites containing Neosomes of medium to Coarse - Grained Grey Alkali Feldspar Granites occurs at many places. A number of Quartz, Grey and Pink Pegmatites and Epidote Veins Criss are crossing the host rock. Basic dykes of Dolerite, Gabbro & Pyroxenitic Composition traverse the granites in NW-SE, NNW-SSE, E-W & NE-SW directions. Thin veneer of alluvium is found limited to streams. b) Detailed description of geology of lease area The Quarry Lease area in part of Hill trending in W - E ground level trending W E, the average length of the exposed body measured 181 M in the area with an average width of 108 M. The quarry lease area is in the form of exposed outcrop and below by sheet. The rock in the quarry lease area is peninsular gneissic rock of Archean age and it is medium to coarse grained texture which is light gray in colour, compact, brittle in nature and is consisting of Quartz and Feldspars as essential minerals (Felsic minerals) and other muscovite, biotite etc., are accessories minerals (mafic minerals). The Road Metal can be extracted from the rock available in the quarry lease area which is useful in Civil construction purposes. c) Details of prospecting / mining carried out 2 pits were opened (Plate III).

The BM is taken at Peddamma Temple outside of the quarry lease area with its value of 30 M (Plate III). Handheld GPS Garmin make was used for capturing the co-ordinates in WGS 84 Datum. The lease sketch certified by the Asst. Director of Mines & Geology, Nandigama, was stitched on the Surface Plan (Plate - III). MAP DATUM : WGS 84 Position Format hddd mm ss.s Map Datum WGS 84 Units North Reference Variance Angle Metric True North 001 o W Degrees The features captured are incorporated in preparation of Surface Plan on 1 : 1,000 Scale. e) Geological Plan prepared on a scale 1 : 1,000 or 1 : 2,000 The geological features are layered on the surface plan to generate the Geological Plan on 1 : 1,000 Scale (Plate IV). f) Geological Sections on natural scale at suitable interval across the lease area or applied area Geological traverses in the subject area /quarry and further observations made on exposures in the vicinity of quarries facilitated to access the shape and size of the deposit in the area. It is a rocky outcrop rising 65 M above ground level within the quarry lease area (The lowest contour is 40 M and highest contour is 105 M). Method of Estimation of Reserves The area forms a part of the Hill located 430 m above the GL. Since the deposit is of plutonic origin with deep seated and no depth resistance is exploded. The reserves are estimated to a conservative depth of 30 m BGL (i.e. up to G.W. level). Page 7

8 However, as the subject area is located 75M above G.L.30M from surface area of the deposit in lease area is considered for estimation of reserves. The Description of estimation is discussed below. The deposit is found to be irregular in shape. Hence cross sectional method adopted for Estimation of Geological Reserves. 3 Sections A-A1 to C-C1 were drawn at equal distance perpendicular to the trend direction of the formation to estimate the reserves (Plate IV). The area between surface profile and assumed UPL during the lease period i.e. RL falling the section is taken as sectional area and the Influence of sectional Influence on either side (i.e.s1+s2/2).so the sectional area multiplied by Sectional Influence. mention in the total volume of Road Metal in the section. g) Reserves and Resources as per UNFC. Detailed calculation of reserves shall be stated The deposit upto RL 30 M i.e. 10 M depth below the surface is considered as Proved Reserves (Plate IV). UNFC rules are not applicable for mining the rock mass for exploiting the Road Metal.
