3 Applicant Sh. Devendra Singh S/o Sh. Kailash Singh R/o Bishangarh, Jalore The main supply of mineral Granite will be in Barmer, Jalore, Jodhpur and nearby area and it will be utilized as construction material in buildings. 2.2 BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE NATURE OF PROJECT This is a proposed Granite mining project. As per EIA Notification dated 14 th Sep, 2006 and as amended till date, the project falls under, Category B2. It has been proposed to excavate approximately MTPA (Marketable) of Granite from this ML No. 316/05 by open - cast mechanized method. The lease area is 3.0 ha. mineable reserves are MT. The expected life of mine will be years. There will be generation of OB / waste during the five year of plan period and it will be cum. The mineral Granite will be transported by hired trucks. At the end of lease period, the total excavated area will be 3.0 ha. Out of this, ha. will be backfilled and remaining area will be used as a water reservoir. Water reservoir will ultimately help in recharging the water table and also help in cultivation and irrigation purpose for nearby area. Water requirement of 2.46 KLD for the proposed project activity will be met by water tankers supply from nearby village source. The depth of water table is 70 m (Pre-Monsoon) to 60 m (Post-Monsoon) below the general ground level. Thus, water table will not encounter during working of the mine. 2.3 NEED FOR THE PROJECT & ITS IMPORTANCE TO THE COUNTRY/ REGION Granite can be used for a number of things like and building monuments. Granite is chiefly used as building materials, construction purpose, slab & tiles manufacturing. Being a decorative stone, the chief use of is in flooring and wall tiles.. It is used to make attractive pattern with pleasant color. The stone is naturally durable and water resistant with antibacterial and stain proof characteristics. Granite is also scratch and heat resistant. Granite used as an exterior cladding and pavement material, and its inherent strength, abrasion resistance and superior weathering durability are likely to keep it one of the preeminent material selections. Thus, due to these requirements, mining of Granite is necessary and it is an important mineral for the nation to mine. Hence, to fulfill the need of the construction industry, this project of Granite mining is necessary & important for the nation. About 20 local people will be employed for the proposed mining activity which will create 27

4 employment opportunities to local population. By Granite production, the applicant will pay revenue in the form of royalty, dead rent, direct and indirect taxes which will contribute and generate additional revenue to the region, besides this, the project will prove beneficial in terms of socio - economic development. 2.4 DEMAND SUPPLY GAP Granite is one of the important components in infrastructural development in building construction projects in flooring & wall. So it will be always in demand. It has high demand in the market due to increased domestic, industrial and other infrastructural activities. 2.5 IMPORTS VS. INDIGENOUS PRODUCTION In the current Granite business scenario, import of Granite is not envisaged, but its indigenous use is in very much in demand. 2.6 EXPORT POSSIBILITY Not applicable as proposed mine is for indigenous use only. 2.7 DOMESTIC/EXPORT MARKETS Domestic demand is one of the main reasons for the rapid growth of Granite business in India. Thus, domestic market for Granite as building material is well established. Granite produced from the proposed Granite mine will be used to fulfill the domestic demand. No export is proposed at this stage. 2.8 EMPLOYMENT GENERATION (DIRECT AND INDIRECT) DUE TO THE PROJECT A total of persons (unskilled) will be required as direct employment for the proposed mining activity which will be given to local workers. Following staff & workers are proposed to be employed:- Table 2: Manpower requirement 1. Mining Engineer / Geologist 1 No. 2. Mines Manager 1 No. 3. Mines Mate 1 No. 4. Time Keeper 1 No. 5.

7 No alternative site has been taken into consideration as the mineral (Granite) is available at this site. 3.4 SIZE OR MAGNITUDE OF OPERATION Mine area for the Proposed Granite Mine is 3.0 ha and proposed production Capacity is 57232MTPA (Marketable) REGIONAL GEOLOGY Geologically, Barmer district is occupied by the Bhilwara and Delhi Super groups, which have been further divided into several groups and formations.the rock of the area belonging to eastern part to Barmer district of southwest Rajasthan comprises predominatly of granites. Rhyolites with patches of agglomerate, basalt, andesite, porphyries and dolerites are also preent. All these rocks constitute only 25% to 30% of the total area studied while the remaining parts are covered by a thich blanket of sand and alluvium. Some metasedimentry rocks belonging to Delhi supergroup occur only as restricted patches within granites and rhyolites. The generalized geological succession of the area based on surface of the area based on surface data is given below: Recent to Sub-recent - Blown sand and alluvium Post Malani Intrusive - Dolerite / Norite dykes Basalt, andesite, granite porphyry,jalore granite Malani Igneous Suite -Siwana granite rhyolite with agglomerate patches Post-Delhi intrusive - Erinpura granite and aplites Delhi Supergroup - Quartzite with intercalated Base not seen Mungeria-Suwala-Lakha area LOCAL GEOLOGY:- The granites of this area are broadly of three categories depending upon their mineral constituents and appearance. The biotite bearing grayish white granite belongs to Erinpura granite. These granites are intrusive within middle protrerozoic Delhi Super group of rocks and are tonalitic to alkalifedspar syenitic in composition. Erinpura granites are spread over a large part of the area in Sirohi district and 31

8 occurring in the form of isolated outcrops, low-lying hummocks and ground level exposures. The second category comprises pink coloured graniles consisting of biotite and/or hornblende. This is called Jalore granite and it covers the major part of the Jalore district in the form of small plutons (as in Jalor town, Bibalsar and Jaswantpura) and isolated inselbergs (as in Deon, Muri etc.) Jalore granites have intruded within Erinpura granites and are younger in age. The third category granite of the this study area is comprises aegirine-augite and reibibeckite bearing green coloured, granites. These are alkali granties and known as Siwana granite. Siwana granite is mostly exposed in eastern part of Barmer district. Both Jalore and Siwana granites are part of Malani Igneous Suite of rocks which are late proterozoic in age. The basalt, andesite and granite porphyries a long with some aplitic veins are the other constituents of Malani Igneous Suite. The extrusive phase of Malani is represented by rhyolite and agglomerates. Malani rocks are intrusive within Erinpuras. Finally some dolerite dykes have intruded within the Erinpura as well as in jalore and Siwana granites MINERAL RESERVES Category Reserves (MT) Proved (111) Probable (122) Possible (222) Mineral Reserves (Proved + Probable) Life of Mine Life of mine Minable Reserves / Average annual production / years 3.5 PROJECT DESCRIPTION WITH PROCESS DETAILS (A SCHEMATIC DIAGRAM / FLOW CHART SHOWING THE PROJECT LAYOUT, COMPONENTS OF THE PROJECT ETC.
