12 3.0 MINING ACTIVITY Geology and Reserves Regional Geological setup REGIONAL GEOLOGY : The region has Kadapa system of rocks where statigraphy is established by working of as given below : Upper Kadapa Lower Kadapa Krishna series Nallamalai series Cheyair series Papaghani series ----Unconformity---- Srisailam Quartzites Kolamnela Shales Iron Shales ----Unconformity---- Cubum shales Bairen Konda quartzites --- Unconformity--- Tadapatri shales Pulivendla quartzites ----Unconformity--- Vempalle dolomitic limestones Gulchere quartzites ----Unconformity----- Archaean gneisses & schist s Local Geology Generally, the area is part of Kadapa basin and is a sedimentary formation. The rock types generally noticed in the area are clay s, dolomite, & quartzite s in succession. The ML area is completely covered with dolomites with steatite mineralization. It is believed that Steatite mineralization is occurred due to metamorphic activity in dolomitic limestone s. In general the chemical composition of dolomitic limestone is double carbonates of Calcium & Magnesium Silica & Alumina. When dolomitic limestone subjected to metamorphism & reacted at suitable conditions with water, the dolomitic limestone altered into hydrous magnesium silicate which is precisely Steatite, Calcium & magnesium Carbonate which is Dolomite & Aluminium silicates which are low grade steatite. Detailed study has been conducted in the working pits & noticed the following rock types. Surface soil, Dolomite, Dolomitic lime stone & Steatite. The existence of Dolomite, Dolomitic lime stone & the steatite vein is observed. In the lease area the Dolomite & steatite high grade & steatite low grade (filler grade) is occurring almost as alternative bands & surface area is most of dolomitic limestone & Dolomite patches with low grade steatite bands. The rock formations are uniform bedded deposit & there is no structural disturbance. The color of steatite is a light cream 11 P a g e

13 & light Green color. The strike length of Dolomite and Steatite zone in the applied area is 506m in NE SW. The average width of the zone is observed about 10m in the Dolomite and Steatite zone the recovery is observed only 90 % and balance 10% will be intercalated waste. Within the steatite ore there will be about 20% of Low grade steatite i.e. filler grade. Alternate bands the contact of steatite at the wall rock with dolomite both on hanging as well as foot wall is not sharp. But admixed with dolomite gradually merging to pure dolomite which is the country rock while steatite is comparatively soft to excavate the dolomite is hard. Around the applied area, there are some mining lease areas and old working pits exist in the same strike direction and depth of the old working pits are about 5m to 100m depth. In the steatite mineralized area the Dolomite with alternate beds of Low grade Steatite and High Steatite are exposed where as in non steatite mineralized zone the Dolomite & low grade steatite with alternate bands is massive and shows no signs of any alteration. The colour of dolomite is black and cream. No other structural disturbances like fold & fault are observed in the ML area. The colour of steatite are light cream and light green. No other structural disturbances like fold & fault are observed in the ML area.

In this way a total mineable reserves of tonnes of Dolomite, tonnes of Steatite and tonnes of Low grade Steatite available in the applied area. As the mine is proposed to produce 4500 tonnes Dolomite, 3375tonnes Steatite and 2250 tonnes of Low grade Steatite shall be produced /annum, so the life of the mine is as follows : DOLOMITE Steatite & Low grade Steatite Total Mineable Reserves of Dolomite Actual anticipated annual production Total Mineable Reserves of Dolomite Actual anticipated annual production years 19 years PROJECT DESCRIPTION WITH PROCESS DETAILS Method of Mining a) Type of Mining: Considering the geology and nature of the mineral occurrence and also due to stable strata condition, the proposed mining will be carried out by underground 'Bord & pillar' method. It is proposed to open one incline along the dip direction on eastern side of the pit-i and it will be used as 'man-way'. One more parallel incline shall be opened on western side of the pit-1, keeping a distance of more than 40m, which will also be used as haulage. For every 40m horizontal distance one cross (level) cut will be made to connect the two inclines of haulage & man way in systematic manner as described below and shown on Plate No. 5. b) Extent of Mechanization For conducting of the proposed underground operations the following equipment will be required. 13 P a g e

The operation involves the extraction of Dolomite & Steatite and dumping in stock yard. The Dolomite & Steatite mineral will be transported through hired trucks to the industries. Use of Mineral Dolomite & Steatite will be used in domestic market. Its hard nature made it a very suitable and durable material for most Civil Engineering and Construction works. It is used in different ways. Processing Processing of Dolomite & Steatite is not involved. Resource Optimization/ Recycling and Reuse Not envisaged. Availability of Water Its Source, Energy/ Power Requirement and Source Water Requirement Water is required only for drinking purposes, green belt, wire saw cutting and dust suppression.

The following are the identified sources of emission of dust during mining activity: Line Drilling Block cutting Excavation Dressing Loading and Transportation Dumping b) Air Pollution Control Measures The measures proposed for implementation are listed below 1. Water sprinkling will be done for dust suppression using Water Tankers having provision of sprinkling on dump yards and haul roads will be used. 2. Dust Masks will be provided for the workers based on work area 3. Afforestation around the lease boundary of the applied area 4. Transportation vehicles will be covered by tarpaulin covers 5. Properly designed blasting operation. 6. Proper maintenance of the machinery/vehicles 17 P a g e

19 The fugitive dust emissions from the mining activities of all six mines when in operation will be minimum as the mining methodology is by underground drill & line method so the fugitive dust will be very less. The movement of vehicles for transportation of mineral will depend upon the market, at the maximum about tippers will ply to need the market demand so the emissions of fugitive dust and vechiluar emissions will be very minimal. The predictions of GLC,s was calculated based on the FDM model to now the GLC,s within the core zone of cluster mines is for PM10 is <5 µg/m 3 and for PM2.5 is <5 µg/m 3 and for SO2 is <5 µg/m 3 and for NOx is < 5 µg/m 3 and in the buffer zone within the cluster mines is for PM10 is 3 µg/m 3 and for PM2.5 is <3 µg/m 3 and for SO2 is <3 µg/m 3 and for NOx is < 3 µg/m 3 NOISE ENVIRONMENT i) Sources of Noise Noise produced from Mining operations is not continuous.
