17 Category Area in hectares GM land Existing Infrastructure No existing infrastructure within lease area. 4.6 Soil Classification The soils of the district are mostly of the residual type. High temperature and high rainfall have led to the formation of lateritic type of soils from rocks of Archean metamorphic complex exposed in the greater part of the district. Texturally the soils of the district have been classified into four classes- Stony and gravelly soils: - These are low grade soils having a large admixture of cobbles, pebbles and gravels generally found at the base of the hills. Red and yellow soils: - This soil is formed by the decomposition of crystalline metamorphic rocks like granite- gneiss etc. These rocks contain mineral particles like biotite, hornblende and iron. Lateritic soils: - This type of soil has dark red or brown color. It has high iron content and has been formed by the process of lateralization of the weathered material in the favorable climate and topography. Alluvial soils: - River channels in the district are covered with alluvial soils consisting mainly of coarse sand and gravel mixed with silt and clay. 5.0 PLANNING BRIEF 5.1 Planning Concept The deposit in the area is quite good in respect of quality and quantity with a considerable width and continuing in depth.
