Mine Plan 3.0 GEOLOGY AND EXPLORATION: a) Briefly describe the topography & general geology & local mine geology of the mineral deposit including draining pattern. 3.1 TOPOGRAPHY & PHYSIOGRAPHY Agricultural plain Allahabad city, also known as Prayag, is an ancient holy city of India. The city of Allahabad is situated at the confluence of two sacred rivers, the Yamuna and the Ganges. The confluence is known as Sangam and is visited by thousands of Hindu pilgrims every year. Allahabad is among the largest cities of Uttar Pradesh in terms of population and area. The geographical area of Allahabad is about 62 sq km (under Municipal Corporation). Its spatial extension falls at 25 28 N latitude and 81 54 E longitude. The district of Allahabad is surrounded by the Pratapgarh districts in the North, district Jaunpur in the Northeast, Sant Ravidas Nagar and Mirjapur in the east, Kaushambi and Chitrakoot in the west and the state of Madhya Pradesh in the South. Allahabad has its own domestic airport, Bambruali, which is located 14 km from the city. Apart from Indian Airlines, few private airlines also provide flight services to and from Allahabad. However, nearby cities, i.e. Varanasi (147 km) and Lucknow (210 km) also have airports. Allahabad is well connected by a network of trains to almost all major destinations throughout the country i.e. Kolkata, Delhi, Patna, Guwahati, Chennai, Mumbai, Gwalior, Meerut, Lucknow, Kanpur and Varanasi. Allahabad is located on National Highways 2 and 27. The government and private bus services are available to and from Allahabad to all nearby major destinations. 3.2 GEOLOGY Regional Geology: The Ganga basin has been dominated by transvers river system since Pliocene due to erosion during uplift that is symmetric subsidence of foreland. Large plio-pleistocene sediment combines with less asymmetric subsidence and uplift of the proximal fore land let to the pro gradation of the drainage system that displaced the Yamuna River and after Allahabad Ganga River to edge of the foreland basin. The Present river system consistent with erosion driven uplift adjacent Himalayan. The regional geological setup is very well depicted in the map below; Page 3 of 10

Progressive Mine Closure Plan Closure Plan: Mined out land: The mining has been proposed in already degraded land. Mining faces will advance from middle of the area towards north-east & south- west directions. The height and width of benches will be kept 1.0 m to 1.0 m, slope of mining faces will be kept 70 deg. and the overall slope of the pit will be kept 45 deg. No waste shall be generated, as all the ROM will be used as for brick making. Hence the reclamation will be done only on mature benches by planting local species after the bench reaches to its maturity. Top Soil Management: Top soil exists within the area therefore its Preserved on bundwall and use in reclamation propose. Safety and Security: Each worker shall be provided with helmets & safety shoes. Safety belt shall be provided to workers on working the top benches. Hanging of loose boulders shall be removed from mine faces. The mining area shall be properly fenced to avoid any inadvertent entry in to mining pit. Working hours shall be displaced at conspicuous places. Disaster Management and risk assessment: The mining will go up to a depth of 2.0 meter max. from the surface in the respective year and thereafter excavated area shall be left open during monsoon to restore the topography of the area. The mining faces shall be dressed properly because loose material may create fatal accidents to the labourers while working in area. Any other information: Community Development: The expensed increased towards the socio-economic development is done by proponent time to time. Page 6 of 6
