Topography: The lease is located on the slope of the hillock gently dipping towards North. The highest elevation in this area is 90.0m above MSL and the lowest elevation is 25.0m. Brief Description of the Project: Geology: Regional Geology: The district can be broadly divided into four geological domains viz., the Peninsula Gneissic Complex in the north and central part, ii) the Migmatite Complex in the southcentral part, (iii) the Charnockite Group in the south and (iv) the Thrissur Group in the north. Thrissur Group of supracrustal rocks include garnet-sillimanite-biotite gneiss with or without graphite, kyanite-fuchsite-muscovite-quarts schist, hornblende-biotite schist and gneiss+garnet, amphibolite bands, quartz-sericite schist/quartz-mica schist and meta ultramafites, representing upper amphibolite to lower granulite facies metamorphism. These rocks are found as linear bands in the north. The main member of this group garnet-sillimanite-biotite gneiss+graphite occurs as large bodies north of Kabani river. Peninsular Gneissic Complex represented by hornblende-biotite gneiss and pink granite gneiss occupies a major part of the district. Charnockite Group comprises charnockite forming the hilly terrain in the south and southeast. Pyroxene Granulite and banded Magnetite Quartzite occur as narrow bands within charnockite. Migmatite Complex is represented by biotite-hornblende gneiss, occurring over a large area in the south-central part. The other member of this group, namely garnetiferous quartofeldspathic gneiss+sillimanite occur are narrow bands within the older charnockite. In the east, large bodies of intrusive pink granite occur near Kalpetta and Sultan Battery. Pegmatite veins are also associated with the granites. Dolerite and gabbro are intrusive into the older rocks. 2

6 II. Brief description of nature of the project The Granite Building Stone Quarry of Sri. Sajan Mani', over an extent of Ha. (2.3991Acres) is a granite building stone mining project. The granite building stone is the basic rock in this area to be excavated by quarrying. This Granite Building Stone quarry is proposed to be operated by Opencast Semi- Mechanized Quarrying Method. The mechanized operation of quarry shall use excavators, tippers, rock breakers, Jack hammer drilling and blasting. The excavated material shall be crushed in the crushers located outside the quarry lease area. The maximum production capacity proposed in this area is 75, tonnes per annum building stone of size 150mm to 250mm. However the average production per annum is 75, tonnes in the 1st five years plan period. The quarrying operation shall provide 21 direct & equal number of indirect employment to local people. III. Need for the project and its importance to the country and or region. The basic objective of the project is to have effective utilization of granite stone as a building material in this region and state. The spur in infrastructure development and construction industry has enhanced the demand of granite building stone in past few years. Mainly infrastructure projects like roads, highways, railways, bridges, buildings, township, Port Development, etc., have raised the demand of building material. Building stone quarry not only provides the building material but also employment and economic growth of the region that ultimately enhance the socio-economic status of the people of the region and the state. The mining activities shall provide socio-economic benefits to the local population with direct & indirect employment opportunities. The project also contributes to the regional and financial benefits in the form of Royalty, Cess, Taxes, DMF etc. IV. Demand-Supply Gap. Granite Building stone is an important component of the construction activities for infrastructure development. The demand for granite building stone is increasing along with the increase in infrastructure and construction activities in Kerala. This quarry can 6

7 produce max 75, tonnes of building stone annually and the demand of building stone by various industries can be partly fulfilled by this project. During last few years there is a sudden increase in the Real estate & Port development activities which has further enhanced the demand for building stone, hence, there is heavy requirement of granite building stone to meet the demand supply chain. V. Imports Vs Indigenous production The requirements of granite building stone in infrastructure industry is huge where as the prices of granite are relatively low. The import or export of the same is not feasible due to heavy transportation cost. The granite building stone of size 150mm to 250mm shall be transported / sold to the crusher outside the quarry lease, where it shall be sized and sold to the local market for infrastructure development. VI. Export possibility. The price of the granite is very low and the transportation cost is very high. Hence there are no export possibilities of the same. VII. Domestic/Export markets. The granite building stone of size 150mm to 250mm shall be transported / sold to the crusher outside the quarry lease, where it shall be sized and sold to the local market for infrastructure development, real estate builders, contractors, etc. and to the nearby vendors for government infrastructure projects. It is not viable to export this material. However, there is huge demand for the granite building stone in the domestic market. VIII. Employment Generation (Direct and Indirect) due to the project. As per the requirement of Mines Act, Mines manager, Mines Foreman, Mine mates, Blaster, shall be appointed to supervise the quarrying operations.
