b. Geology & Regional Geology The area comprises a part of Eastern Ghat mobile belt exposing all characteristic litho units of the Eastern Ghat super group such as the Kondalites, Charnokites and Migmatites. The Kondalite group consist of Kondalite consists of Quartz, Feldspar, Garnet, Sillimanite, Graphite gneiss, Calc granulite and Quartzite which occuras impersistant bands within the Kondalite. The Charnokite group consist of acid, intermediate and basic varities.the Migmatite group consist of various rock types including Leptynite, Porhyroblastic Granitoid gneiss, Garnet biotite hyperstene gneiss, Quartzo Feldspathic mobilisates and other associated hybrid rocks. Bauxite laterite occupies several flat topped and gently sloping hillsat elevation of 1000 m and above. Laterite are mostly develop on Kondalites and rarely on Charnokites.Thirupati sand stones of Gondwana super group oddurs unconformably over the Archean crystallines, represented by coarse sand stone and clays exposed close to the coast. Quarternery sediments is of both fluvial and marine regimes. The structural grain of the Litho units is defined by foliation which is considered to have developed because of first phase of folding and uniformly shows parallelism with the primarly layered wherever prederved. The strike of the foliation varies form NE-SW to NW-SE with moderate to steep dips. These are well developed in the proximity of the ridges around Visakhapatnam. Faults and lineaments trending mostly NE-SW and NW-SE.are seen in this area Table 5: Stratigraphy of the Quarry Lease Area: Geological Age Lithology Quaternary unconsolidated to semi consolidated sand,silt &clay Pliestocene Bauxitic Laterite/Laterite Jurrasic to Cretacious Gondwana super group Tirupathi sand stone -----------------------------Unconformity--------------------------------- Peninsular gneissic complex Porphyroblastic Granitoid gneiss,garnetiferous Quartzo Eastern Ghats Super Group(Archaean) Felspathicrock,withorwithoutBiotite,Porpyroblastic,Hyperst ene gneiess, biotite gneiss, Quartz feldspathic mobilisatesand associated hybrid rocks.

Other Factors: Relevant clearances shall be obtained for continuing the mining operations in the QL area. 6. ECONOMIC AXIS i. Detailed Exploration: Detailed topographic survey and geological mapping of the applied QL area was subject to detailed exploration by field traverses and well inventory data. The depth of sheet rock is assessed by the litho log observed in the boreholes of agricultural lands. ii. Mining Reports / Mining Plan: This is the first Mining Plan has been submitted. iii. Specific End-Use Grades Of Reserves (Above Economic Cut-Off Grade): ROM is intended for crushing to use in the aggregates for roads and building stone materials. iv. Specific Knowledge Of Forest / Non-Forest And Other Land Use Data: The entire QL area is Government waste land. v. Feasibility Report Along With Financial Analysis Per Economic Viability Of The Deposit The cost of production of road metal and building stone is arrived at Rs. 250/- per ton inclusive of taxes and royalty. The entire ROM is for captive purpose as such it is surely economic and profitable. 6. Reserves i. Mining Method, Recovery Factor, Mining Losses, Processing Loss etc: Road Metal and Building Stone will be quarried by open cast other than fully mechanized method with drilling and controlled blasting. The recovery factor is considered as 95% with 5% intercalated waste. There will not be any quarrying losses except handling loss, which will be recovered during next loading. ii. Cut-off Grade, Ultimate Pit Depth Proposed: There is no cut-off grade as the ROM will be put to use for road metal and building stone as aggregates. The Ultimate Pit average depth is 80 mts 14

and UPL is 30 m in the western portion of the QL area during the end of fifth year of this Mining Plan residual period. iii. Mineral/ Ore Blocked Due to Benches, Barriers, Pillars, Road, Railway, River, Nala, Reservoir, Electric Line and Other Statutory Barriers etc,: The mineral will be blocked in 7.50 m safety barrier zone, roads and benches which is computed separately and tabulated below in the succeeding sections. iv. Total Mineral Reserves: The reserves are estimated basing on field traverses and the information gathered during the field visit of the area and cross sections drawn. The area of the influence and the cross sections were taken at 56 m on either side of the cross sections A-A. B-B C-C & D-D The occurrence of the Charnokite is probably more than 120 m above existing above ground level. Based on the field traverses, the estimated reserves considered as Proved Reserves. Three cross-sections A-A, B-B, C-C & D-D are considered for computation of reserves, Buffer zone and Safety bench slope as shown in table 8,9,10 below. The depleted reserves have been not accounted by cross sections because there is no workings in the QL area and reserves are not computed.

MINING i. OPEN CAST MINING: a. Existing as well as Proposed Method for Excavation with all Design Parameters Indicating on Plans / Sections: The applied area belongs to hilly terrain and rising to a height of 120 m from the normal ground level. Most of the area is covered by the charnockite sheet rock at higher levels with 1.0 m over burden. The proposed quarrying is planned to be carried out by opencast benching method other with the help of drilling, controlled blasting by using an excavator. The granite is hard in nature hence blasting is required for the excavation. So the lessee is advised to get blasting licence. Since it is a time being process period the blasting work will be allocated to out sourcing blasting licensed agencies, which as an explosive license in starting of the lease. The blasted ROM will be loaded in to trippers / dumpers of 20 tons capacity and will be transported to crusher plant. In the crusher plant the ROM will be sized and sorted into different sizes of 60mm, 40mm, 20mm, 12mm, 6mm and dust and it is supplied to different civil works, road works and railway works. Quarrying will be carried out by formation of benches of each 6.0m height from higher levels to lower levels. The details of which are illustrated in yearwise Development Plan & Sections on Plates- 4 & 4A. b. Year-Wise Tentative Excavation in Cubic Meters Indicating Development, ROM, Pit Wise: It is proposed to raise the insitu ROM of 8,34,389 m 3 or 20,85,972 tons during the five year plan period from this quarry. The charnockite sheet rock is exposed as a hillock to a height of 120 m from the ground level, so no separate development is required in the beginning of the mining activity to get the target production from this quarry. The quarry working will be carried out by open cast method with the help of drilling and blasting from the top of the hill. Since the applicant does not have blasting license, the blasting part will be allocated to private licensed agency in the initial stage, in which the lessee has get an blasting license. The blasted ROM will be loaded into 17

trippers/ dumpers of 20 tons capacity by excavator. The loaded ROM will be transported to the crushing unit which is going to erected near by the lease area in the proposed own / lease land on the south western part of the lease area. The ROM will be crushed at the crushing unit to various sizes and sorted to 60mm, 40mm, 20mm, 12mm, 6mm and dust and supplied to different construction works, road works and railway ballast.. The Tentative excavation proposed to be carried out for the first five years plan period is estimated at 8,78,304 m 3 from which intended ROM of 20,85,972 tons of Road Metal and Building Stone will be mined out by open cast mechanised method by forming benches of 6.0m each and 7.5m buffer zone.

MINE DRAINAGE: a. Minimum and Maximum Depth of Water Table: The QL area is a hillock with a maximum height of 120 m above existing ground level. There are no water bodies existing in the vicinity. GW level is observed to be ranging between 20-25m below GL. b. Maximum and Minimum Depth of Workings: Initial GL of the mine area in block-b and C is ranging between maximum FRL168m and minimum FRL 144m. After first five years plan period production, the maximum and minimum depth of workings reached level of 150 m and 144 m MSL ( total 30 m depth). c. Quantity and Quality of Water Likely to be Encountered: water will not be encountered in the QL area during the excavations and subsequent operations as the quarrying is on an elevated mound above the GL and the GWL is at 20-25m below the existing GL. The total depth of mine is 30 m at the end of five years plan period which is above the water table. Hence, pumping is not required for dewatering.. Quality of GW tested from the surroundings is found to be potable. d. Regional and Local Drainage Pattern: The entire QL area has a down slope only. Sheet wash 23

run-off is anticipated during the monsoon area. Annual rainfall in the QL area is below the district average rainfall i.e., 700mm. Solid wash expected during monsoon season in the QL area is negligible. 4.STACKING OF MINERAL REJECT / SUB-GRADE MATERIAL AND DISPOSAL OF WASTE Tops soil in the QL area is negligible. The waste that would be generated is only form interstitial voids that is estimated at 5%. This will be utilized for the formation of internal roads periodically.

Public Buildings, Places of Worship and Monuments: No public buildings, places of worship or interest and monuments are present in the vicinity of QL area. d. Sanctuary if any in the Vicinity ofthe Lease Hold: No sanctuary, zoo or park are present in the vicinity of the QL area. 8.2. Impact Assessment: a. Land Area Degraded: An area of about 50,312 m 2 will be degraded for the working pit. In addition, an area of 2,958 m 2 will be used for internal roads of the quarry. Plantation will occupy 2,6,568 Sq mts. b. Air Quality: Various activities involved in mining of Road Metal and Building Stone generates dust. To some extent, dust generated will be controlled by sprinkling of water on roads. Masks, earplugs and safety goggles will be supplied to the workers on site to protect themselves from dust. 26

c. Water Quality: There are no water bodies like ponds, lakes or streams in the vicinity of QL area. Quarrying of Road Metal and Building Stone generates minimal dust, which is not harmful. Hence, the quality of the water in the surrounding water bodies will not be affected by the mining activity. d. Noise Level: The QL area does not have any villages in the immediate neighborhood. The nearest villages are Maruturu which is 1.0 km away from the QL area. Noise is anticipated in the various activities involved like Drilling, blasting and vehicle movement. As the mining activities are of the small scale in nature, the noise generated would be well within the limits and would not affect the residents in the surrounding villages. Lessee will take all necessary measures to minimize the sound generated particularly during blasting activity like using of mufflers. Site workers will be supplied with ear plugs to protect themselves from noise pollution. e. Vibration Levels due to Blasting: As the drilling method proposed, is by using tractor mounted compressors and controlled blasting vibration level will be within the limits and will not affect the people working on site. f. Water Regime: Mining activity proposed is over the elevated mound and the maximum level of the pit will be 6.0 m that is 90 m higher than the lowest elevation of the existing ground in the QL area i.e., level 54 m MSL of ground level. As the GW is at expected to be at a depth more than 25m in the QL area GW will no way will be affected. g. Acid Mine Drainage: No chemicals are involved in the extraction or processing of the mineral, hence there is no danger of acid mine drainage. h. Surface Subsidence: The ground surface in around the QL area is covered by Charnokites of Eastern Ghat formations of Archaean age Basements complex the ground is stable. Internal roads are well compacted to avoid any skidding of vehicles. The benches and ramp ways will be well built and maintained to avoid any kind of subsidence or skidding. i. Socio Economics: Quarrying of Road Metal and Building Stone will generate employment to the people of surrounding villages both skilled and unskilled. Government will get income in the form of royalty, rent etc. Raw material for the road and civil works will be generated by the quarrying activity that will be one of the boosting factors for the local economy. j. Historical Monuments: No historical, archeological or Geological monuments are present in and around the QL area. 27

k. Bio-Diversity: The slopes and crevices of the mound have some bushes and shrubs. No wild animals are reported within these bushes. 8.3. Progressive Reclamation Plan: a. Mined-Out Land: No Mined out land will be formed during the first five year plan period. The mineral reserves exist further deeper than the UPL 30 mts of this first five year plan period plan period and quarrying will continue for the rest of the lease grant period. b. Topsoil Management: Top soil present in the QL area is negligible and hence topsoil management does not arise. c. Tailings Dam Management: Tailings Dam is not required. d. Acid Mine Drainage and Mitigation Measures: No chemicals are involved in the extraction or processing of the mineral, hence there is no danger of acid mine drainage. e. Surface Subsidence Mitigation Measures: The ground surface in around the QL area is covered by Charnockites of Eastern Ghat formations of Archaean age Basements complex the ground is stable. Internal roads are well compacted to avoid any skidding of vehicles. The benches and ramp ways will be well built and maintained to avoid any kind of subsidence or skidding. 8.4. Disaster Management and Risk Assessment: Disasters are possible in an industry like mining. The possibilities of occurrence of some of incidents are tabulated below in Table15 Table 15: Probability Table for Disasters of Operations planned on 100 Point Scale. Sl. Type of Disaster Exposure Severity Frequency Risk No. Index Index Index Numeric 1 Mining injuries 50 100 0.1 500 2 Land slides 10 100 0.01 10 3 Inundation 100 100 0.0001 1 4 Fire accidents 10 40 0.01 4 5 Floods & epidemics 100 100 0.00001 0.1 6 Animal and reptile attack 1 10 0.0001 0.001 To meet with any kind of emergency on or off site, risks are assessed in advance and Risk assessment plan is prepared. Assessing the possible hazards and planning the procedures to be followed in case of emergency will reduce the intensity impact. Proper bench design in mine and 28

observing all kind of safety measures, usage of proper PPE on site, attentiveness of the work force on site, following pre-defined traffic rules by all the people on site some of the measures to be followed to reduce accidents on site. Proper care in storage and handling of explosives, hazardous materials, fuels is also necessary. Proper communication is key factor in minimizing the accidents on site. Safety of all working personnel will be the utmost priority of the lessee. Lessee will provide all the site personnel with necessary PPE like, hard hats, safety goggles, earplugs, dust masks etc. To meet any kind of emergency, readiness to shift the injured to the nearest hospital is necessary. All mining personnel should be aware of the nearest health centers and hospitals. All managing personnel will take the responsibility of taking the injured immediately to the hospital in case of any accident. A few of the site personnel should be provided first aid training besides the presence of a well-maintained first aid kit. Anakapalli mandal head quarters is at a distance of 8.0 km from the lease area, which has all kind of healthcare facilities starting from primary health care to corporate hospitals. In case of emergency state government s 108 service is available. Apart from this one additional pick up with driver will always be available to meet with emergency situation. In event of any emergency the Contact person is: Sri Srinivasulu, Manager Maruturu (V)&(PO), Anakapalli (M) Visakhapatnam District. A.P State. Tel: +919490611766 8.5. Care and maintenance during temporary discontinuance: An emergency plan to deal with the situation of temporary discontinuance or incomplete programme due to court order / due to statutory requirements or any other unforeseen circumstance will be drawn by the technical and managerial person to suit the specific situation of this mine. This would be reviewed and modified to suit the changing conditions and needs. This would take care of preventing of access to dangerous places, pits and prevent accidental fall in to the water logged pit of animals and men. Security is also to be looked in to the safety measures placed at various places like firefighting equipment, main switches etc. Security to be deployed at Explosive storage.the mining is yet to commence. As mining continues till then the question of 29

discontinuance does not arise. However, any untoward incidence happens the safety of the mining area will not be disturbed. Security / Watchmen will be posted at the mine site for watch and ward. 8.6. Financial Assurance: Financial assurance can be submitted in any encashable from preferably a bank guarantee from a Scheduled Bank at the rates equivalent to rates prescribed as per the amendment Rule 27 (1) of Mineral Conservation Development Rules, 2017 for next 5 years period expiring at the end of validity of the document. The proposed quarrying operations are by Open Cast other than fully mechanized method under category A of quarrying and by jack hammer drilling and blasting and hence the cost of reclamation & rehabilitation is calculated as per the provisions of rule 27(1) MCDR, 2017 @ 10,00,000/- per hectare of total 13.330 hectare to be Rs 1,33,30,000/-. a.
