Lease agreement will be executed after environmental clearance. 2.2 Brief description of nature of the project 2

3 Granite mining will be done by fully mechanized way with deployment of heavy machineries. During the lease period total 2.70ha areas will be excavated. During lease period about 2.0ha area will be afforested. 2.3 Need for the project and its importance to the country and or region Stones have been adored from time immemorial for its natural beauty, varied colours, durability, hardness and permanency. Madhya Pradesh; the sole producer of Diamonds in the country, is richly endowed by nature with a variety of "STONES" besides significant deposits of Coal, Phyrophyllite-Diaspore etc. Multicolour and Black Granites, exotic varieties of Marble as well as Sandstone (Flagstone) constitutes the most important stone wealth of the State. From the lofty Vindhyan Sandstones the GWALIOR FORT to the world renowned majestic KHAJURAHO TEMPLES have been built. In today's fast paced world, where art is struggling to keep up with the technology, there is a need for material that combines natural beauty, vivid colours of nature and strength. Obviously the best choice is Granite which has played a vital role in intriguing structures of Yesteryears in the form of sculptures is now also sought after as the best-polished material for floors and walls among other things. The Chhatarpur, Panna, Sagar, Datia and Shivpuri districts of Bundelkhand region host massive medium to coarse grained equigranular as well as porphyritic varieties of pink, red and grey granites. The most promising areas for multicolour and black granites in the Bundelkhand region are Pista, Bira, Laulas and Baruli in Panna district; Katera, Garhi-Malhera, Hardwar in Chhatarpur district; Bagrohi and East Shahgarh in Sagar district; Janakpur-Nargarh, Malkhanpur, Sikaua and Baruni in Datia district and Sarh in Shivpuri district. The Satpura region of the State also holds a good potential for exclusive patterned varieties" of diamension stones. In Balaghat, Seoni and Betul districts of Satpura region besides common varieties similar to "Jhansi Red" "Sira Grey" and "Disco-Grey" which are massive variety with uniform colour and grain size, patterned varieties similar to "Tiger-Skin" "Ranjita Zuparana", "Paradiso" are also available. The most promising areas for granites in Satpura region are Kachewara, Bhuriyagaon, Nagarwara, Kholwa, Maneri and 3

4 Kanjai in Balaghat district; Berghat block in Seoni district and Kesai, Jamundhana and Kacharboh in Betul district. A tentative possible reserve of million cubic meters of Black Granite and million cubic meters of Multicolour Granite down to a depth of 10 meters has already been estimated by none other than the Geological Survey of India. 2.4 Demand Supply gap Minerals are the chief source of present phase of industrialization, and play an important role in the present phase of the national economy and overall development of the nation.

13 3.3 Details of alternate site: Mining is site specific project and mineral deposit has been identified by certifying agency; hence alternative site is not applicable. 3.4 Size or magnitude of operation: The total lease area is 3.836ha and total production is proposed 1500cubic meter per year or 5250TPA through opencast mechanized mining method. GEOLOGY i. Regional Geology Regional geological set up around Malka is formed by metasedimentaries belonging to semri group of lower Vindhyan group. Following stratigraphic sequence was established in the area. Alluvium Palkawan shale Semri group Ken limestone (Lower Vindhyan) Pandwa sandstone Unconformity Pegmatite & Quartz veins Instrusives Felsite / potassic rock Ultrabasic dykes (Pyroxenite, Kimberlite) Bundelkhand granites Fine to medium grained Granite Medium grained granite Course pink porphyritic Granite Grey Granite Intrusive contact Ultra schist, Mica schist Metagabbro, Older Metamorphics. Amphibolites, Quartzites and Gneisses Ultramafic schist, Micaschist, Amphibolites, Metagabbro, Quartzites and Gneiss occur as enclaves within pink granites. The enclaves generally trend ENE-WSW in the gneisses exposed in the ken river bed east of Raipura (24042 : ) the alignment of feldspar and mafic mineral marks the genessosity which is parallel to the trend of the enclaves. 13

14 The major part of the area is occupied by coarse and medium grained pink porphyritic granite. A small outcrop of grey granite 1/2 km west of Madla ( ) may represent the oldest granite phase in the area. The granitoid are traversed by numerous basic dykes, quartz, pegmatitic and epidote veins. The coarse grained pink porphyritic granite is granodioritic and the medium grained granite is admelllitic in composition. The ultrabasic rock occurring 0.5 south of Toria (24045 : 8000 ) is coarse grained, dark grey and is generally highly weathered. The perkiness shows alternation to amphiboles. Another occurrence of this rock is on the right bank of the ken river about 0.5 to 2 km south of ken bridge (near madla) measuring 20m in length and 6-8 m in width. The third outcrop is seen immediately south of Mahadev Ghat on the left bank of ken river. It is about 50m in length and 3-4m in width and is fine grained, greenish grey and is highly weathered. The rocks of the lower Vindhyan Semri group are represented by Pandwa sandstone, Ken limestone and palkawan shale. The basal unit of the semri group, the pandwa sandstone rests over the bundelkhand granite/gneiss complex with a distinct erosional unconformity. Pandwa sandstone is mature quartz granite having a thickness of 105m at pandwa fall and is unconformably overlain by ken limestone. The thickness of ken limestone ranges from less than 1/2 meter to 10m. It is thinly bedded and gradually pinches out when followed along the strike towards NE. Palkawan shale which overlines the ken limestone and pandwa sandstone (where the limestone is absent) generally contains carbonaceous shale in the basal part which gradually changes to thick porcellanite and argillaceous shale. Pandwa sandstone is correlatable to the basal sandstone in the eastern son valley and basal Deoland valley. The ken limestone and porcellanite can be correlated with Kajrahat limestone and porcellanite in the Son valley. The Vindhyan formations generally trend NE-SW with riling dip of 40 to 100 due SE due to broad warping. Other primary structure like cross bedding & ripple marks are well preserved in the lower Vindhyan formations. 14

15 Geology of the lease area:- The geology of the area has been formulated on the basis of surface geological exposures and sections. The following geological succession has been established in the area. Soil - 0 m to 1.5 m Fine to medium grained granite - 20 m. Granite:- The major part of the area is occupied by medium to fine grained reddish porphyritic granite. The granitoid are traversed by numerous basic dykes, quartz, pegmatite and episode veinings. The medium grained reddish porphyritic granite is granodioritic and the fine grained granite is adamellitic in composition. There are boulder and sheets type of deposits in area. Structure:- Although innumerable granite deposit occur throughout the country, only a relatively small number of them are of suitable colour or texture or are available in sound block large enough for use as dimension stone. Most granite deposits in the applied area are characterized by joints or seams natural fractures that cut the rock mass usually in a nearby vertical direction. They tend to occur in more less parallel arrangement frequently in two major systems intersecting approximately at right angle. Horizontal partings that separate the granite into sheets or layers are known as sheeting planes. Most granite in area split in some directions with greater ease than in others. The directions of easiest spliting are known as the rift. A second less strongly marked tendency to split usually at right angle to the rift is known as the Grain or the Run. The direction at the right angles to both rift and grain is called the Hard way or head grain. These splitting directions areas obscure and can be recognized only by skilled stonecutters, but they are of the utmost importance in processes of quarrying and shaping block of granite. Origin of granite:- Granite rocks have been generally regarded as originating from molten masses or magmas but recently, it has been claimed that some of the so called igneous rock 15

16 have resulted from the action of hydrothermal water of magmatic origin. Slow cooling of magma or other reactions deep within the earth resulted in coarse crystallization of the constituent minerals. Mode of occurrence:- The granite deposits in Malka area occurs in the form of big boulder and sheets. The boulders sizes vary from 1.5m to 4m in length, width from 1m to 3m and height varies from 1-2m. Granite deposits usually are fairly uniform over considerable area and their depth. Colors little bit vary from dark reddish to pink reddish Local Geology: Granite: The major part of the area is occupied by medium to fine grained reddish porphyritic granite. The granitoid are traversed by numerous basic dykes, quartz, pegmatite and episode veinings. The medium grained reddish porphyritic granite is granodioritic and the fine grained granite is adamellitic in composition. There are boulder and sheets type of deposits in area. 3.5 Project description with process details: Proposed Method of Mining Opencast mechanical mining method will be adopted using HEMM with blasting to lose the harder portion of rock. Loading and unloading on trucks will be done by mobile crane. The overburden removable may be done at times by excavator cum loader. Loading of the block of granite will be done by mobile crane in 10t tipper or 15t truck. Transportation of granite block to destination will be done by truck. During the five year haulage road will be developed at the gradient of 1:16. Overburden will be hauled by loader cum dumper combination. After complete development quarry will be divided into zonal areas, or a particular blasting zone will be located. The upper crust of the site termed as weathered zone will be blasted with blasting sticks. The proposed year wise generation top soil and waste for the next five year is estimated as follows: 16
