Penukonda, Ananthapur & Bellary are well placed for doctors, Nursing homes & hospitals Details of Mining Carried Out The colour granite deposit is forming a hill, raised 75 M above ground level within the quarry lease applied area. No mining is carried out in the area as the subject area is applied for grant of quarry lease. RESERVES Geological traverses in the quarry lease applied area and the study exposures in the vicinity of quarries facilitated to assess the shape and size of the deposit in the area. It is a hill deposit rising 75 M above ground level within the quarry lease applied area (The lowest contour is 530 M and highest contour is 605 M). The surface of sheet rock is wavy and irregular. Method of Estimation of Reserves The exposed granite deposit is found to be irregular in shape; the volume of the deposit is computed by cross sectional area method by multiplying the cross sectional area with the Proved Depth upto RL 510. The cross sections were drawn perpendicular to the strike direction, the cross sectional area of the individual sections are calculated to arrive at sectional area, the area thus arrived is multiplied by the sectional influence of 100 M (Average) to arrive the volume of rock mass. Since the anticipated recovery of the marketable blocks and tiles may be around 25%. The same recovery percentage is considered for extracting the dimensional stones. The cross sections in E - W direction are drawn at equal interval of 100 M. 6 Cross Sections A-A1 - F- F1 were drawn. Categorization of reserves: As no detailed exploration is conducted by boreholes, only exposed resources are considered for Reserve Estimation upto RL P a g e

11 Hence, G1 (Proved) scale category as (111) code is calculated. Hence, no resources are considered under G2 and G3 categories. The deposit upto RL 510 is considered as Proved Reserves.

13 Method of Mining (Open Cast other than fully Mechanized / Semi Mechanized): The Colour Granite in the quarry lease applied area is exposed on the surface with boulders. Hence, it is proposed to mine the boulders / sheet by open cast, semi-mechanized methods, by developing the bench of 3 M height each. Wire Saw cutting will be deployed based on the favourable conditions. The development of benches in the sheet rock will be 60 safety slopes. The separation of blocks from the mother rock will be carried out by drilling, wedge cutting, blasting and the excavation will be done by the machinery. The secondary splitting, dressing of blocks will be done manually. Therefore, mining operations are to be carried out in this 1) Development 2) Production Stage -1 The removal of weathered and under sized boulders will be cleared in the quarry lease applied area for the next five years by using excavator. The sheet exposed will be subjected to drilling, blasting and splitting from mother rock Rock Splitting / Wedging: Thus 20' x 20' to 40' x 20' to 40' mass will be separated from mother rock by drilling the slotter holes on both sides of the mass and a top hole intersecting these two holes and wiresaw rope is passed through and cutting is done horizontally and vertically and by this there will be mass opening on all the sides from the mother mass. Stage - 2 After removal of weathered and under sized boulders. The sheet exposed will be subjected to splitting into required sizes of blocks by using Jack Hammers by drilling series of deep holes at right angles at regular intervals, later by inserting feather and wedges in these holes and hammering with sledge hammer will release the blocks. 12 P a g e

14 The boulders will be splitted to the required sizes with drilling and if required by using chemical compound at the source only. The boulders separated will be brought to the dressing yard for dressing. If the boulders, which fit into the required market grade size will be transformed into cuboids. Secondary Splitting: After separation from the mother rock, it is properly checked by washing with water to identify defects and cracks. Based on this observation, the size is decided and the blocks are marked and separated by drilling and wedging. The separated pieces will be examined for defects and lines, then the block or blocks are marked in clear area and holes are drilled along the line of marking, with the help of feathers and wedges and the waste portions are separated forming a rectangular blocks. Any bulges will be removed by drilling and wedging making it perfect blocks. A perfect block is that all the sides shall make with each other 90. Dressing i) Dressing of dimensional rough blocks for export: Dressing is final phase of mining operation, wherein the secondary rough blocks are squared into regular perfect rectangular sizes, thereby avoiding uneven bulge or cavities and other defects. Jackhammers with compressor, feather end wedges and sledgehammers are equipments generally used for dressing the block. ii) Dressing of rough blocks for domestic processing plant: Dressing by means of squaring and splitting will be done for rough blocks of the size varying between 120 x 90 x 80 and 300 x 200 x 190 M. iii) Description of granite processing plant: The applicant does not possess processing plant. Drilling & Blasting A) Drill hole pattern for smooth blasting, holes of 3 M depth will be drilled in a single 13 P a g e

15 row with spacing of less than 0.3 M and burden of 1.6 M or more shall be maintained uniformly. This arrangement will yield rock size of 3 M x 2 M cross section. A bench height of 3.5 M will be tackled. B) Drilling Parameters : i. Drill Hole Diameter 32 MM up to 3 M Long. ii. Depth and Inclination of Drill Hole: Generally drilled vertically in an alignment, however in primary cutting in the absence of sheet joints to develop bottom level, horizontal holes also are drilled. iii. Spacing and Burden The spacing shall be about 0.1 M to 0.3M from hole to hole and burden goes up to 1.6M for the splitting of the rock. iv. Stemming & Charging of Bore Hole Gun Powder is used. The blast hole will be charged with 150 Grams of explosives by stemming with smooth strand. v. Explosive Type Wherever required Chemical compound is used for splitting the rock. Production Proposed for the five years It is proposed to produce 1,30, M 3 of market grade rough blocks during the plan period with an average annual production of 26, M 3 from an area of 41, M 2.
