GSI BRIEFING BOOK OF EASTERN REGION

11.. IINNTTRROODDUUCCTTIIOONN

The Eastern Region of Geological Survey of India was established in 1961 with the regional headquarters at Kolkata and Circle Offices of Bihar, Orissa and West Bengal –Andaman and Sikkim Unit with headquarters at Patna, Bhubaneswar, Kolkata and Gangtok respectively. The circle offices were mainly involved with the systematic geological mapping and assessment of mineral resources. At the Regional Headquarters there were specialized divisions like Engineering Geology, Map compilation, Geophysical investigation, Chemical Laboratory and Drilling Division. The activities were further expanded to Photogeology & Remote Sensing, Regional Integrated Survey, and Quaternary & Environmental Geology, Earthquake Geology and the Geodata Divisions.

Subsequently the Circle Offices were redesignated as “Operation”. In the year 2000, two major changes took place as regards the operational coverage of Eastern Region. Operation Bihar & Jharkhand was split into Operation Bihar and Operation Jharkhand with headquarters at Patna and Ranchi. The erstwhile AMSE Eastern zone headquartered at Ranchi was amalgamated with operation Jharkhand. At the same time the Sikkim Unit (of Operation West Bengal) was delinked from Eastern Region and amalgamated with NER, Shillong. Thus Eastern Region now covers geographical area of 0.426 million sq km in the states of WB (88752sq km)-Andaman (8249 sq km), Bihar (94162 sq km), Jharkhand (79714 sq km) and Orissa (1,55,707 sq km). Geologically the main land part of Eastern Region represents:

- Archaean -Proterozoic Rocks, hosting a majority of mineral occurrences in Orissa, Jharkhand and West Bengal.

- Proterozoic Rocks, including limestone in the Vindhyans in Bihar and Jharkhand. - Gondwana Supergroup, a storehouse for coal, refractory clays and coal bed methane. - Late Cretaceous - Early Palaeocene Rajmahal traps equivalent of the Deccan Continental

Flood Basalts. - The sub-Himalayan foothills covering Darjeeling and Duars with marine Gondwana,

Siwaliks and the Pleistocene fan deposit - The Quaternary Indo-Gangetic Alluvium covering major parts of Bihar and West Bengal.

The Andaman & Nicobar Islands on the other hand represents:

- Dominantly post-Cretaceous Ophiolite–flysch–wacke sequence developed as accretionary prism and wedge resultant to the ongoing subduction process along the Indo-Eurasian Plate margin in the Bay of Bengal.

PHYSIOGRAPHY AND TECTONIC FRAMEWORK

Physiographically the Chhotanagpur Plateau region of central and south Bihar–Jharkhand can be divided on the basis of physiographic consideration into Ranchi and Hazaribagh plateaus. The former is the main plateau with general elevation of about 600m above m.s.l. in Ranchi district, has a flat to gently undulating topography with occasional ridges and gradually slopes down towards south-east into the hilly and undulating topography with occasional ridges of Singhbhum. To the north of Tatanagar, the Dalma hills rising about 500m to 600m from the plains with a prominent east-west trending hill ranges are flanked on either side by easily denuded phyllites and mica schists forming the plains. The vast Singhbhum Granite cratonic terrain is represented by a peneplane, which is highly intercepted by residual mounds and rock knolls. The drainage system of the area is mainly controlled by the Damodar, Ajoy, Subarnerakha, north and south Koel river forming different basins.

The eastern fringe of Indian peninsula to a large extent constitutes part of the Eastern Ghats hill ranges which flanks the main cratonic part to the west. Geomorphology of the area is broadly

2

controlled by various regional geological and tectonic features. The prominent central highland is marked by linear hill ranges lending NE-SW in the southern part and WNW-ESE or E-W in the central part. It is separated from the low-level coastal plain in the east by a series of faults. The central highland is again separated by upthrusts parallel to its hill ranges from the western part of the state which is the continuation of the dissected central Indian plateau-land.

The central highland is further cut-across by the NW-SE trending Mahanadi graben in Orissa along which the river flows from west to east, The Mahanadi and sub-parallel Brahmani lineaments form a tectonic zone which divides the central highland into a southern segment constituted of granulite facies litho assemblages continuing southwards into Andhra Pradesh, and a northern segment exposing ancient (Archaean) granite-greenstone assemblages continuing northwards into Jharkhand. The Eastern Ghats is separated by Northern Orissa Boundary Fault (NOBF) from the northern part of the central highland.The shield area of Jharkhand is predominantly occupied by Archaean Singhbhum granite batholith , flanked by Proterozoic supracrustals of Singhbhum Group, Dalma volcanic belt and vast peneplain area of Chhotanagpur granite gneissic complex in the north.

The northern segment of the central highland and the western plateau-land bordering Eastern Ghats are similar in geological set up and are known respectively as the North Orissa Craton and Bastar Craton. While in the middle of it lies the Gondwana formations in Mahanadi graben bounded by faults, which have rich coal resources, some sectors of the coastal plains are mostly covered by Tertiary, and Quaternary sediments and low-level laterite.

The Extra-peninsular region of West Bengal comprises the mountainous tract of the Eastern Himalayas, covering Darjeeling and part of Jalpaiguri districts. The three longitudinal morphotectonic sub-divisions of the Himalayas, i.e. the Lesser and Central or Higher Himalayas are traceable in the Darjeeling sector. The Main Boundary Fault (MBF/MBT) separates the syn-orogenic Siwalik Group of the Sub-Himalayas in the foreland from the stacked pile of thrust sheets constituting the Lesser Himalayan Zone. The Main Central Thrust (MCT) separates the Lesser Himalayas from the Higher Himalayas in the north constituted of mainly gneissic rocks associated with high-grade metamorphites. The major portion of Bihar and West Bengal is occupied by the Gangetic alluvial plain. The Andaman and Nicobar Islands arc forms the northern extension of outer Indonesian Island arc system and represent part of a major accretionary complex that extends from Indonesian Island arcs in the south to Burma in the north. The Andaman arc-trench system has been described as the result of the active subduction of the Indian oceanic lithosphere below the Eurasian plate along the Andaman-Java trench, from Cretaceous to the present day The ophiolite occurrences in Andaman Islands are interpreted as thrust slices of oceanic crust scraped off the subducting slab at the toe of the accretionary complex. GEOLOGICAL CONTEXT WEST BENGAL

The state of West Bengal, covering an area of 88752 sq. km is bounded by Latitude 21o 30’ to 27o 30’ N and Longitude 85o 30’ to 89o 45’ E. It encompasses diverse rock types ranging from Archaean to Recent alluvial sediments. The hard rocks occupy about 25% and the alluvial tract covers about 75% of the total area. The Extra Peninsular region shows three longitudinal morphotectonic subdivisions. The Main Boundary Fault separates syn-orogenic Siwalik Group (Tertiary) comprising coarse, hard, salt -pepper sandstone, silt stone, shale and conglomerate of the Sub Himalayas in the foreland from the Lesser Himalaya which constitutes stacked pile of thrust sheets constituting dominantly dolostones, cherts, slates, phyllite, quartzites, high grade schists and gneisses. The Main Central Thrust separates Lasser Himalayas from the Higher Himalayas in the north which constitutes mainly high grade gneissic rocks. Gondwana Supergroup of rocks with anthracite coal seams is found near Jalpaiguri and Darjeeling districts. The Quaternary deposits of the extra Peninsular region occurs just south of Siwalik Group as alluvial fans and fluvial depositional terraces in the upper reaches and as fluvial terraces of flood plain facies in the lower reaches.

3

Within the peninsular mass in the south-western part of the state, the Chhotanagpur Gnessic Complex (CGC) forms an integral and important segment of Precambrian Shield of Eastern India. The Proterozoic rocks are exposed in southern part of Purulia district and extend over the western parts of Bankua, Bardhaman, Birbhum and Midnapur districts. The rock types include paragneisses and schists, gabbros, norites and anorthosites, granites and granitoids metavolcanics and recent find of carbonatite. The WNW-ESE trending Tamar-Porapahar Shear Zone (TPSZ) between Chhotanagpur Gneissic Complex (CGC) and Singhbhum Group of rocks and E-W trending North Purulia Shear Zone within CGC are sites of base metal and rare earth mineralisation. Gondwana Supergroup of rocks rest unconformably over the Proterozoics and are characterised by extensive presence of coal seams.

The Tertiary rocks occur as patchy occurrences of ferruginous sandstone, red shale, grits and gravels in parts of Midnapur, Bankura and Bardhaman districts. Quaternary deposits are represented by present day flood plain deposits, older flood plain deposits and older alluviums over a mantle of lower Quaternary age.

Mineral Resources: Various metallic and nonmetallic minerals are found in the Peninsular and Extra Peninsular parts of the state. Apatite- Vien type apatite-magnetite mineralisation occurs in Purulia district in Beldih, Mednitanr, Chirugora, Purtaha, Kanti and Dandodih-Gamardih. Basemetal occurrences are located in Gorubathan (Darjeeling dist, Pb-Zn)and Tamakun (Purulia dist, Cu). China clay- Extensive deposits of china clay have been located with the Gondwanas in the western districts of the sate. Coal- Coal is the most important economic mineral of West Bengal and contributes about 13% of the total coal production in the country. The important coalfields are Raniganj coalfield and those located in Birbhum, Bankura and Purulia districts. Small coal deposits are located in Darjeeling district. Dolomite- Extensive deposits of dolomite occur in Precambrian Bauxa Group of rocks in Jainti-Bauxa Duar area of Jalpaiguri district.with CaO varying from 10.9% to 37.5% and MgO from 6.43% to 22.24%. Fire clay- The fire clay deposits are generally associated with coal seams over a wide area in Raniganj coal field and partly in Birbhum coal field. Kyanite- Discontinuous bodies of Kyanite quartz rocks are located in Purulia district. Silica sand- Huge reserves of sands are available from the beds of many rivers in the western and northern part of the state and most river sands are impure in nature. Besides, moulding sand and glass sand also occur ii some parts of the state. Wolframite - Wolframite occurs in Chhendapathar and Porapahar areas of Bankura district and also in Mansang area of Darjeeling district.

ANDAMAN & NICOBAR ISLANDS

This arcuate chain of Andaman & Nicobar group of Islands flanked on the west by the Bay of Bengal and on the east by the Andaman Sea constitutes the southern most part of the Indian subcontinent covering an area of 8249 sq. km. Among 700+ islands, those which are large, reasonably suitable for habitation, sustainable for eco-friendly development and host of good natural resources are known as Andaman Islands. Associated with them is other small but important islands like Rutland, Neil, Havlock, Ritches Archipelago and Baratang. These Islands together with the Quaternary volcanic Islands at Barren and Narcondam retain a wealth of information about Recent and Cenozoic geological processes.

Andaman and Nicobar group of Islands represents a part of an arcuate chain of islands running from Myanmar in the north to Indonesia in the south in Indo-Sumatra subduction zone. The island chain represent the subaerial part of the submarine fore arc ridge of the Indonesian Island Arc system. An active zone of subduction along the Andaman-Java trench lies to the west of the Andaman-Nicobar islands and continues southward into the Indonesia. Underthusting of the Indian oceanic plate below the Eurasian plate since Cretaceous to present day along this subduction zone has resulted in the formation of a wide accretionary prism and upbuilding of a high fore arc - outer arc ridge known as Andaman-Nicobar ridge. These islands geologically comprise continental metamorphic rocks of pre-ophiolitic age, described as Pre-ophiolitic rocks. These are located as large and xenolithic patches within the ophiolite. The oldest groups of rocks comprise a package of metamorphic rocks viz., quartzite, quartz sericite schist etc.

The widely accepted lithostratigraphy for the Andaman Islands depict oceanic crust and associated pelagic sediments represented by Ophiolite suite of Cretaceous age (80-100 million years) as the oldest stratigraphic horizon. They comprise ultramafic rocks, gabbro, basalt, plagio-granite, diorite and limestone-chert.

Thin and discontinuous occurrences of radiolarian chert, jasper, mudstone and shale that are interstratified with basalt are part of the ophiolite sequence that have been described as Oceanic Pelagic Sediments (OPS). The Eocene to Pliocene sedimentary sequence younger to OPS comprises conglomerate, sandstone, limestone, siltstone- shale. This sediment pile has been classified into three Groups- Mithakari, Andaman Flysch and Archipelago in ascending order. Clastic and volcaniclastic sediments of Mithakhari Group are laterally extensive and considerably thick siliciclastic turbidite succession, the Andaman Flysch overlying the Mithakhari Group and. The top most stratigraphic horizon of Mio-Pliocene age is an interbedded sequence of claystone-tuffs-sandstone-limestone referred to as Archipelago Group. The ophiolite suite of rocks also occurs as dismembered units of subhorizontal thrust slices lying over the Andaman Flysch..

Quaternary sediments are seen overlying the hard rocks at places. The Narcondam and the Barren are volcanic islands in the inner arc of the subduction zone.

The outer arc-fore arc terrain constituting the Andaman-Nicobar Islands is characterized by a complex mosaic of different geological provinces each has its own records of origin and geological evolution. Rocks of the Andaman Islands are tectonically thrusted into a narrow north-south trending linear belt paralleling the north-south trend of the Andaman-Java subduction zone. The Ophiolites, their cover sediments and the Andaman Flysh together are folded into an open anticline (Ray, 1982). Sets of mesoscopic folds occur in all the sedimentary units associated with ophiolites. MINERAL RESOURCES The Andaman Islands have long been investigated for minerals of economic importance, constructional material, and for occurrences of liquid fuel. Mineral investigation by the GSI led to the find of limestone, chromite, nickel, base metals, gold, PGE and coal in different islands. Except limestone, the other minerals so far assessed are found to be sub-economic. The limestone resources in Long Island have yielded a reserve of over four million tonnes of cement grade

BIHAR

After bifurcation of the state in the year 2000, presently the State of Bihar covers an area of 94162 sq. km. bounded by latitudes 24º 15' N and 27º 31' N and longitudes 83º 20' E and 88º 18' E, Nearly two-thirds of the state of Bihar is covered by Indo-Gangetic alluvial sediments. They are flanked by the belt of Himalayan foothill sediments to the north and Vindhyan Plateau, coal bearing Gondwana basins, Chhotanagpur plateau and other highland cratonic elements of Pre-Cambrian formations to the south.

Amongst the significant geological formations in the state are the Munger Group located close to the northern margin of the Chhotanagpur Gneissic terrain of Jharkhand and occurrung as several NE-ENE - SW-WSW trending ridges rising above the Gangetic Alluvium. The group comprises metasedimentary lithopackages of quartzite and phyllite. These are intruded at places by granite and basic rocks. The munger Group rocks have been folded and faulted inticately. Some of the Hot-springs of Rajgir area lie over some of such faults. Munger Group have been considered by some as time equivalent of a part of Vindhayans. Vindhan rocks in the state of Bihar are located to the easternmost continuity of the Son Valley vindhanyans. It covers about 3740 sqkm area.and is bounded in the north by the Mahakoshals and the Chhotanagpur gneissic complex in the south and by Gangetic Alluvium in the north and represent the Semri – Kaimur Groups,the lower part of the Super Group.

Representatives of the Tertiary period in Bihar are few and scattered and are represented by the fossiliferous unit known as the Rajdanda Formation. Undifferentiated Siwalik Groupof rocks occur towards the NW margin bordering Nepal and comprise calc-arenite, calci-lutite, impure limestones, sub-gerywacke, variegated clay, boulder conglomerates and red clay. They have been correlated with Lower, Middle and Upper Siwaliks of western Himalya and with the Surma, Tipam and Dihings of Assam valley. Vertibrate fossil remains are reported from the Middle Siwaliks in Banktwa and Raghis, West Champaran district.

The alluvial terrain of the state represents a conspicuous part of the geological history. Predominant feature is the Gangetic plain covered by the riverine alluvial deposits forming part of the great northern plains of India. Rising above the alluvial plain are some inselbergs of older rocks. Recent studies have brought into light presence of NE-SW trending faults oblique to the NW-SE trend of the Himalayas occurring to north and also to the peninsular shield elements and as such conceived that several ancient rifted basinal features co-exist with regions of uplift, within a broad framework of the nprthern extension of the shield elements. This terrain comprises a 6000m thick pile of sediments in the Himalayan front and a platform belt in the south with sediment thickness varying between 3000 to 6000m. MINERAL RESOURCES

After the bifurcation of the earlier state of Bihar into Bihar and Jharkhand, the new terrain falling within the geographical limits of Bihar is left with very little of mineral wealth. These include:

JHARKHAND

The State of Jharkhand lying between latitudes 22º 00' N and 24º 15' N and longitudes 83º 20' E and 87º 55' E covers an area of 79714 sq. km.

Jharkhand preserves the signature of Archaean to Recent time either in complete or in vestigial form that are manifested by Archaean Supracrustals of 3.4 m.y.,age Pre-Cambrian Granite-greenstone and granulite gneiss belt in the southern cratonic part.. The shield area of the state of Jharkhand displays a mosaic of several geological provinces viz., (a)The Archaean Cratonic massif of Singhbhum Granite including older metamorphics (b) Iron ore province of South Singhbhum (c) Proterozoic mobile belt of North Singhbhum and (d) Chhotanagpur granite gneissic massif with enclaves of high grade rocks.

The Archaean-Proterozoic rocks of the shield area occurring to the south of Gangetic alluvium and forming the basement for the younger rocks consist of two major tectonic units:

(i) The Singhbhum Province in the south and

(ii) Chhotanagpur Province in the north.

The boundary between the two provinces is defined by a basement dislocation zone now manifested by Tamar-Porapahar Shear Zone (TPSZ). The most spectacular structural element of the Singhbhum Craton is a 1-10 km wide and 160 km (approximate ) long arcuate belt of shear zone (Singhbhum Shear Zone) separating the North Singhbhum Mobile Belt in the north from Iron Ore Super group and the Singhbhum Granite to the south acts as locale of copper mineralization. The Older Metamorphic Group (OMG) represents the oldest rocks in the Singhbhum Craton. It is a diverse group consisting of medium grade (amphibolite facies), pelitic schist, arenites, calc-silicate rocks, para-and ortho-amphibolites (Saha, 1994). It is best exposed (type area) in 200 sq. km. area to the west and southwest of Champua.

The north-south, elongated Singhbhum Granite Complex (SBG) massif is a multi-component unit ranging in composition from tonalite through granodiorite to granite. It occupies an area of about 3000 sq km out of a total 8000 sq km for the entire cratonic block.The Singhbhum Granite batholith (sensu stricto) is considered to be made up of 12 magmatic bodies of biotite granodiorite-granite emplaced in three distinct phases. The Iron Ore province (Iron Ore Supergroup) comprises an assemblage of Archaean supracrustal consisting of mafic-ultramafic volcanics, volcano-clastics, chert, BIF, greywackes, meta-argillites and arenites (with polyphase deformation and greenschist facies of metamorphism) and are deposited in three major basins of Eastern India; viz.

i) Potka-Gorumahisani-Badampahar basin along the eastern border of Singhbhum Granite (Part designated as Gorumahisani Group),

ii) West Singhbhum-Kendujhar basin in the western flank of Singhbhum Granite massif (designated as Lower Bonai Group),

iii) Palalahara-Daiteri basin along southern part, confined entirely to the State of Orissa.

In the State of Jharkhand, the litho-assemblages of Lower Bonai Group occur only in parts of East and West Singhbhum districts. IOG/ Lower Bonai rocks occur along the eastern flank of the Singhbhum Granite with fork shaped curvilinear belts along Kunderkocha -Tiring-Rajnagar in the west and Kunderkocha-Digharsai-Potka-Ukampahar in the north. These are considered to be the classical Greenstone belt comparable with the other such belts of the world and the sequences are engulfed and intruded by Singhbhum Granite, This Granite-Greenstone sequence is considered to be a significant locale for gold mineralization. In west Singhbhum the Lower Bonai IOG rocks lying to the west of SBG is dominated by BIF along with volcanics in the southeastern part and low grade meta-sediments with minor volcanics in the northern part which forms a part of the ‘Horse Shoe’ shaped Iron Ore synclinorium with NNE-SSW axial trend.

The ancient Singhbhum craton is surrounded on the east, north and northeast by predominantly pelitic supracrustals with a number of intrusive granitoids and the set-up is designated as Proterozoic Mobile Belt or North Singhbhum Mobile Belt. This belt extends along a roughly east-west trend and bounded by Singhbhum Shear Zone (SSZ) in the south and vast expanse of Chhotanagpur gneissic terrain in the north and with the east-west trending Tamar-Porapahar shear zone (TPSZ) in between. The prominent feature of this mobile belt is the arcuate Dalma volcanics,

12

The Proterozoic period also represented by the Vindhyan Supergroup of rocks exposed in the Western part, which draws attention for its bio-organic sedimentary structure and limestone deposits.

The coal bearing horizons of Gondwana Supergroup represent the Phanerozoic period. In Peninsular India several belts of depocentres of largely continental sediments were developed during the period, a major part of which falls within Bihar-Jharkhand. The Gondwana rocks occur as isolated basins within the Chhotanagpur Granite Gneiss terrain. These rocks occupy a significant part of Jharkhand and also include thick measures of coal seam. The basins have been developed along two distinct tectonic trends: (i) the east-west trending Damodar and Koel valley basins and its subsidiary belt and (ii) the north-south trending Rajmahal-Purnea belt.The Gondwanas are overlain by Rajmahal Volcanics in the Eastern part. The Pleistocene-Holocene period represented by the cover sediments of the Indo-Gangetic alluvial deposits occupy a vast tract in the northern part. MINERAL RESOURCES APATITE: Apatite is found in East and West Singhbhum district as veins emplaced in the Singhbhum Shear Zone in a 60 km. long belt in the eastern part of shear zone. Apatite mineralisation also occurs as an associated mineral in mica pegmatites of Bihar Mica Belt, in parts of Gaya, Hazaribagh and Munger districts.

BAUXITE: Extensive deposits of bauxite are found in the western parts of Chhotanagpur Plateau falling in Lohardaga, Gumla and adjoining Palamau district. The reserves of high grade bauxite, containing above 50% Al2O3 were tentatively estimated to be about 9 mt in the erstwhile Ranchi district and 1.7 mt in Palamau district. The exploration at Amtipani area established an estimated reserve of 4.95 mt analyzing 48.47% Al2O3 and 5.59% SiO2.

COAL: Jharkhand, the leading state in the Indian subcontinent in respect of its coal deposits, bears the testimony of classical development of the Permian coal measures. Out of different Gondwana basins of Peninsular India, Jharkhand state occupy the most important E-W trending Damodar-Koel valley basin covering coalfields like Raniganj, Jharia, Bokaro, Ramgarh, Karanpura, Auranga and Hutar from east to west.

COPPER: The Singhbhum Copper Belt, Jharkhand, stretched over a length of 128 km between Duarpuram (22º46´: 85°34´) in the west and Baharagora (2216’:8643’) in the southeast has been a major sorce of copper ores in India. This length of potential mineralized zone lies along a shear zone and is divided into three i.e., eastern (Baharagora-Badia), central (Badia-Kharkai River) and western (Tamadungri-Duarpuram) sectors. Copper occurrences are also recorded from Tulsitanr in Deoghar district and Baraganda in Giridih district.

DOLOMITE:Dolomite occurrences are restricted mainly to the rocks of Singhbhum Group, Chhotanagpur Granite Gneiss Complex (CGGC) and rocks of Vindhyan Supergroup. Within CGGC dolomite is restricted mainly in Palamau district. Dolomite in Vindhyan from Rohtas district occurs near Banjari.

GOLD: Gold is known to occur in several areas of Jharkhand. Auriferous quartz reefs are commonly found in the low-grade metasediments and metavolcanic rocks of ultramafic to acidic composition belonging to Iron Ore Group and Singhbhum Group and volcanics of Dhanjori-Dalma affinities. Among the important occurrences are Kunderkocha deposit, E Singhbhum district, Lawa-Maysara deposits and quartz-pebble-conglomerate located at the base of Dhanjori basin. Other notable occurrences include Rungikocha - Pahardia, Ankua, Sausal, Bhitardari, Parasi and Digarsai of Ranchi and W. Singhbhum district.

IRON ORE: Jharkhand is one of the most important states with respect to high grade iron ore deposits. Iron ores occur in a series of ridges with NNE-SSW trend, extending from the SW part of Singhbhum district in Jharkhand to adjoining Keonjhar and Sundergarh districts in Orissa, capping the hills and extending down to varying depths. Workable deposits of iron-ore in Jharkhand are located around Noamundi, Notuburu, Jamda, Gua, Meghatuburu, Kiriburu, Chiria, Ghatkuri and in other areas in Singhbhum district. The host rock is BIF and main ore mineral is hematite.

LEAD AND ZINC: In Singhbhum district galena has been found associated with the auriferous quartz veins of Pahardia and Sausal area. In Hesatu-Belbathan polymetallic mineralization within Chhotanagpur Granite Gneiss Complex, numerous small occurrences have been recorded. This belt runs in ENE-WSW direction from Hesatu in the Hazaribagh district to Belbathan in Santhal Pargana (presentlyGodda) district for a distance of about 250 km with a maximum width of about 50 km.

13

LIMESTONE:Limestone deposits in Jharknand are mainly associated with two different groups of rocks, viz., Vindhyan rocks in Rohtas and Palamau districts, and Chhotanagpur Gneissic Complex in Hazaribagh, Ranchi, Munger and Palamau districts. Besides, some fine-grained, non-crystalline limestone are also found within the rocks of Kolhan Group in Singhbhum district.

MANGANESE ORE:Manganese ores are mined in Singhbhum district in between Noamundi and Gua and from south of Chaibasa. The ore minerals are mostly psilomelane, braunite, cryptomelane and pyrolusite. Deposits have also been recorded from Lada Buru and Lanji.

MICA: The Bihar Mica Belt containing perhaps the best deposits of good quality ruby mica in the world, stretch along ENE-WSW direction for a distance of about 160 km between Gurpa in Gaya district in the west and southern part of Bhagalpur district in the east. Most part of the belt is located within Hazaribagh and Giridih districts of Jharkhand. The belt varies from 20 to 40 km in width and about two-thirds area of the belt is occupied by metasedimentaries of Proterozoic age, in which mica bearing pegmatites are emplaced.

URANIUM ORE: First reported in 1921 by GSI, Jaduguda in Singhbhum district in Jharkhand has so far remained the only producing uranium mine in India. At Jagduguda, uranium occurs associated with hard compact and somewhat mylonitised chlorite-sericite schist and granular metasedimentaries.

ORISSA

The state of Orissa covering about 1, 55,707square km area, lies along the east coast of India ( Lat.17o48’ – 22o34’ and Long. 81o24’ – 87o29’) with a sprawling 480 km of coastline. Orissa is divisible in to four major physiographic regions: the Northern Plateau, the Central River Basin, the Eastern Ghats hill ranges and the Coastal Plains.

GEOLOGY:

The state of Orissa comprises dominantly of Pre-cambrians (Mesoarchean to Neoproterozoic, 72.5%) while the Phanerozoic (8%, represented by the Late Palaeozoic – Mid Mesozoic coal bearing Gondwana Supergroup); minor Tertiary patches and Quaternary formations (19.5%) make up the rest.

The Precambrian terrain represents the northeastern part of the Indian Precambrian Shield and exposes parts of two major cratonic domains viz. the Eastern Indian Craton in the north and Bastar Craton in the west as well as bordering mobile belts [parts of the Eastern Ghat Mobile Belt and the (Singhbhum -) Gangpur segment of the Satpura Mobile Belt].

Eastern Indian Craton (EIC) represents an Archean – Palaeoproterozoic granite-greenstone terrain bounded by two crustal-scale shear/thrust zones, viz., the Singhbhum (Copper Belt) shear/thrust zone in the north and the Gohira – Sukinda shear/thrust zone in the south. These two shear/thrust zones isolate the EIC from the Singhbhum – Gangpur segment of the Satpura Mobile Belt occurring in the north and northeast and the EGMB occurring in the south. Major lithological components of the EIC comprise Supracrustal sequences, granitoids, mafic-ultramafic and gabbro-anorthosite complexes and mafic dyke swarms. An older limit of ca. 3.5 Ga has been envisaged as the age of sedimentation of Supracrustals in EIC.

Bastar Craton, exposed in the western parts of the state comprises of: Archean Supracrustals of the Bengpal and Bailadila Groups, granitic gneisses and granitoids ranging in age from Neo-archaean to Palaeoproterozoic, a wide variety of post-tectonic silicic intrusives with alkaline affinity, mafic/ultramafic rocks and several Meso-Neoproterozoic sequences of platformal sediments (Chhatisgarh Supergroup). Isotopic ages of granitoids in this craton range from 2.11 to 2.67 Ga.

Gangpur-Singhbhum Group comprising medium-grade Proterozoic rocks form a curvilinear mobile zone skirting the Archean EIC stretching from Mayurbhanj in northeast to the Gangpur region in the northwest through Singhbhum in the state of Jharkhand.

Eastern Ghat Mobile Belt (EGMB), extending for over 1000 km from Orissa to southeastern parts of Andhra Pradesh along the eastern coast of the Indian Peninsula, represents one of the most highly deformed and metamorphosed crustal segment of the Indian Shield. The EGMB comprises Khondalite Group, Charnockite, Mafic granulites, Metaultramafic, Migmatitic granitic gneisses/leptynites/granitoids, Plutonic alkaline complexes and massif-type anorthosite complexes. In the Orissa sector, from east to west, the EGMB is divided into Eastern Khondalite Zone, Central Migmatite Zone, Western Khondalite Zone, Western Charnockite Zone and the Westernmost Transition Zone. The NW-SE trending Mahanadi graben sub-parallels the Brahmani lineament and form a tectonic zone which divides the central highland into a southern segment comprising granulite facies lithoassemblages continuing southwards into Andhra Pradesh, and a northern segment exposing ancient (Archaean) granite-greenstone assemblages continuing northwards into Jharkhand.

However, the Mahanadi and Godavari rifts divide the EGMB into three segments across its length, viz. (i) northern segment (ii) central segment and (iii) southern segment.

The southern segment of the EGMB is separated by North Orissa Boundary Fault (NOBF) from the central highland. The northern segment of the central highland and the western plateau-land bordering Eastern Ghats are similar in geological set up that are known respectively as the North Orissa Craton (part of EIC) and Bastar Craton. While in the middle of it lies the Gondwana formations in Mahanadi graben bounded by faults, which have rich coal resources. Some sectors of the coastal plains are covered by sediments of Tertiary and Quaternary periods besides some low-level laterite.

Gondwana Supergroup comprising Permo-Carboniferous to Lr. Cretaceous coal bearing rocks are spread over 12,415 sq.km area along the NW – SE trending linear belt in the Mahanadi valley. Three major basins (Talchir, Ib River and Athgarh) and a number of small patches (outliers) of Gondwana rocks (Katiringia, Gaisilat, Athmalik, Chhatarpur) in the districts of Angul, Dhenkanal, Sambalpur, Sundargarh, Phulbani, Baudh, Bolangir, Cuttack, Khurda, Puri and Ganjam, also expose Gondwana rocks. While the Lower Gondwana rocks are a vast repository of coal, the Upper Gondwana sandstones have been used as building material for the Lord Jagannath temple at Puri, Lingaraj temple at Bhubaneswar and partly the Sun Temple at Konark. The Jain caves at Khandagiri and Udaigiri, located near Bhubaneswar, have also been carved out of these sandstones.

16

Tertiary formations (Baripada Beds) occur around Baripada town (21o56’ N: 86o44’ E), over a radius of 8 km in the bed of the Budhabalang river. The Baripada sediments are horizontal to sub-horizontal in disposition and comprise alternate sets of stratified clay and sand with semi-consolidated clay, ferruginous grit, soil and occasional marly clay or limestone interbands.

Quaternary formations in the state include volcanic ash beds confined along river valleys, deltas and coastal plain and attain maximum width of about 100 km in the Mahanadi delta.

MINERAL RESOURCES:

Basemetals - Associated with the Precambrian schists, copper and lead ores mainly occur at Kesarpur , Mayurbhanj district; Adash, Sambalpur district and Sargipalli (T.S no. 65N/16) in Sundargarh district respectively.

Bauxite - Orissa accounts for 59% of the total bauxite production of the country. The bauxite deposits of Orissa are broadly classified into five different categories based on nature of the bed-rock as (i) Relatively large capping over khondalites, Eastern Ghats Super Group in Koraput, Kalahandi, Phulbani, Bolangir and Sambalpur districts, (ii) Cappings developed over charnockite, diorite /dioritic gneisses, Eastern Ghats Super Group in Koraput and Kalahandi districts, (iii) Minor cappings over Chattishgarh shale in Khariar highlands in Nuapada district, (iv) Minor cappings over mafic volcanics and shale of Koira Group in Kendujhar – Sundargarh district and (v) Capping over Simlipal volcanic rocks in Mayurbhanj district.

Beach Sand Minerals - The coastal tracts of Ganjam and Puri districts contain workable concentration of heavy minerals in the beach and dune sands, which include ilmenite, garnet, rutile, sillimanite, zircon and monazite.

Cassiterite (Tin Ore) - Cassiterite occurs both as primary and secondary mineralization in Malkangiri district associated with pegmatites emplaced within the Precambrian Bengpal Group of rocks and also as the colluvial maters formed out of such pegmatites.

Coal - Orissa has 24% of the total coal resource of the country. The major coal bearing formations in both Talchir and Ib-river coal fields are Karharbari and Barakar. Talchir Coal field in Angul district is characterized by east-west running strike faults and in the process, repetition of coal seams has resulted in increased quarriable potentiality.

Chromite - Orissa holds the first place in reserves position and production of chromite in the country, contributing to over 97% of the all India output. The deposit yielding metallurgical, refractory and chemical grade of ores occur within the chromiferous ultramafic rocks emplaced into the Archaean Badampahar Group of rocks around Sukinda and Nuasahii covering parts of Jajpur, Kendujhar and Dhenkanal districts.

Gemstones - The Eastern Ghats Granulite belt hosts most of the gemstone occurrences of the state. Among the several gemstone belts of Orissa, the 25km long Jilingdhar- Hinjilibahal belt, Kalahandi district is the most important contributing the best quality ruby. Besides deep blue dichroic iolite in cordierite gneiss, hessonite and zircon in pegmatites traversing calc-granulites, chrysoberyl (Cat’s eye) in pegmatites traversing pyroxene granulite are the other gemstones of this belt.

Occurrences of emerald, topaz, heliodor and aquamarine associated with low dipping unzoned pegmatites emplaced in granite gneiss are reported from Bolangir district. Greenish blue to sea blue aquamarine is reported from gemstone tracts of Sonepur district. Rare occurrence of alexandrite in biotite schist developed along the contact of granite pegmatite and peridotite is reported from Sambalpur district.

Gold - Gold occurrences of Orissa are confined to mainly placers, though there is evidence of old mining activity in the northern parts of Orissa, especially in Kendujhar disrtict adjoining Jharkhand. Occurrence of alluvial gold has been recorded in almost all the districts of Orissa and panning of the stream sediments in the major rivers has yielded gold.

Graphite - Orissa continues to be the leading producer of graphite accounting for 67% of the country’s total production. The graphite occurrences are distributed in six belts, viz, Sargipalli, Titlagarh, Tumudibandh, Nishikal, Muniguda and Dhandatapa belts. Almost the entire production of high grade graphite is contributed by Sargipalli mine in Baragarh district.

Iron Ore - Orissa has vast reserves of high grade iron-ores. Important iron ore bearing areas are Thakuranii Pahar, Sidhamat Parbat, Durga Parbat, Joda east and west, Banspani Pahar, Dal Pahar, north and west of Kurband, Jhiling Pahar, Longlota Pahar, Guali, Kiriburu, Kalta and Gandhamardan. Kendujhar district, In Sundargarh district, the notable iron ore deposits are in Bonai range viz. Khandadhar, Malangtoli, Dandrahar Pahar, Taldih, Kalta, Basada, Baliapahar, Badamgarh Pahar, Hitikuda, Rakmo, Daringburu and Barsuan. In Mayurbhanj district, iron ore deposits are located in Badampahar, Sulaipat and Gorumahisani areas while

17

Daitari hill is the only iron ore deposit in Jajpur district. The host rock is banded hematite jasper/ quartzite (BHJ/ BHQ) of Precambrian age.

Limestone and dolomite - Orissa is endowed with vast resources of limestone confined to three distinct geological settings viz; Gangpur Group, Chattishgarh Supergroup and Eastern Ghats Supergroup of rocks. One of the most important Precambrian limestone and dolomite deposits of Orissa occurs associated with Gangpur Group of rocks in Sundergarh district. The lime content in the rock varies from 30 to 52% while the insoluble and silica show variation from 30 to 35 % and magnesia up to 15%. Alumina and iron oxide contents never exceed 6 % and 8% respectively.

Manganese - Orissa accounts for one third of the country’s annual production of manganese and possesses the second largest recoverable manganese resources/ reserve in the country. The manganese deposits of Orissa, restricted to the Precambrian rocks, occur chiefly in four distinct geographic belts: (i) the Bonai – Kendujhar Belt in Sundargarh and Kendujhar districts, associated with chert-shale sequence and laterites, (ii) Kuttinga – Nishikal – Ambadola – Patna belt in Koraput, Kalahandi and Bolangir districts, associated with Khondalites (iii) Ghoriajhor belt (Gangpur Group) in Sundargarh district associated with Gonditic rocks and (iv) Bamra subdivision of Sambalpur district associated with laterite over metasediments.

Nickel - Nickel ores associated with limonitised and silicified ultrabasic rocks occur in Sukinda area, Jajpur district and within the weathered zone of ultramafic differentiates of the Amjori sill emplaced in the Simlipal Group of rocks in Simlipal area, Mayurbhanj district.

Platinum – PGE mineralisation has been reported from the ultramafic complexes of Sukinda and Nuasahi areas located at the trijunction of Kendujhar, Jaipur and Dhenkanal districts. Layered, differentiated ultramafic to mafic plutons emplaced in stable cratonic blocks of Late Archaean to early Proterozoic age are most potential for hosting orthomagmatic PGE deposits.

Vanadiferous Magnetite - Deposits of vanadiferous magnetite occurring in association with gabbro-anorthosite suite of rocks in north Orissa are distributed in five belts viz. (I) Bisoi-Rairangpur, (ii) Bisoi-Jasipur, (iii) Baripada-Udala in Mayurbhanj district and (iv) Nausahi-Baula and (v) Rangmatia-Betai in Kendujhar and Balasore districts.

5. FIELD SEASON 2012-13- ACHIEVEMENTS The FSP 2012-13 of Eastern Region in Mission Mode is uploaded and approved through GSI Portal and has been executed by concerned Director/Project Heads. FSPMIS introduction pages for all uploaded items pertaining to ER are appended in Annexure - Highlights of the investigations carried out during FS 2012-13 are listed below as per missions MISSION-I BIHAR: STM: SPECIALIZED THEMATIC MAPPING AROUND NABINAGAR, AMBA AND DEO AREA IN AURANGABAD AND GAYA DISTRICTS, BIHAR Specialized thematic mapping was carried out covering an area of 300 sq km on

1:25000 scale in parts of Aurangabad and Gaya districts of Bihar, falling in toposheets 72 D/6 and 72 D/7.

The objective was to find out the possible western extension of the Bathani volcano sedimentary sequence and its stratigraphic status with respect to CGC, to work out the possible correlation with Mahakoshal Belt, if any and to carry out the petrographic characterization of different lithounits present in the area.

Granitoids, granite gneisses and metasedimentary units like sillimanite-garnet schist, biotite schist and banded magnetite quartzite (BMQ) are predominantly exposed in the area. These rocks are later intruded by basic dykes, pegmatites and quartz veins.

The area has undergone three phases of folding (deformation). F1 are represented by tight to isoclinal folds, trending N22E/78E. F2 are represented by close folds, axial plane trending N50E to N65E dipping 78° to 80° southerly; plunging moderately (52°to 56°) towards N65E. F1 and F2 phases were near co-axial, giving rise to hook shaped folds (Type III, Ramsay 1967) at places. F3 occurs as open folds with axial plane striking E-W (N78 to 80E) dipping steeply (80°) towards north, plunging moderately (51°to 58°) towards S70W.

A 2 km wide and 7 km long east-west trending shear zone is observed in the southern part of the mapped area between Chakrabandha (72 D/6) and Maigara (72 D/7).

Sulphide mineralization (in patches) in the form of arsenopyrite, chalcopyrite and surficial stains of bornite has been observed within sheared granites and quartz veins at Savera (72 D/7), Mahulan and Dhanras hill (72 D/6).

A small mound of BMQ has been observed near Mahulan village; slag materials were obtained further west of this hillock of BMQ.

SPECIALISED THEMATIC MAPPING TO EXAMINE INTER-RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN GRANITIC PHASE VIS-À-VIS MAFIC AND FELSIC VOLCANICS IN THE NORTHERN PERIPHERY OF THE CHHOTANAGPUR GNEISSIC COMPLEX (CGC) Specialised Thematic Mapping was carried out in parts of Aurangabad and Gaya

districts of Bihar falling in toposheet No.72 D/10. A total area of 302 km2 has been mapped on 1:25000 scale. The mapped area exposes phyllite, mica schist and quartzite of meta-sedimentary

rocks; chlorite schist, amphibolite, hornblende schist, meta gabbro & dolerite of meta basic rock; meta pyroxenite of meta ultrabasic rock; porphyritic granite, biotite

46

granite and leuco granite of Chhotanagpur Granitic Complex; rhyolite and pyroclastic tuff. These rocks are intruded by pegmatite and quartz veins.

The evidence of shearing in the form of mylonitisation, presence of stretched quartz, quartz ribbon, sigmoidal porphyroclast and S-C fabric are observed in the study area.

Indication of sulphide mineral in the form of chalcopyrite and pyrite are observed in the dolerite dyke, meta gabbro and quartz veins. Stains of malachite and azurite are observed within the quartzite.

Tourmaline bearing pegmatite is observed to the south of Masuribad situated SW of Jainagar. Staining is also observed due to iron leaching. Magnetite has been observed in pegmatite to the NE of Delaho trending N47E - S47W. SL. NO.

JHARKHAND 

STM: STM of Tamar Porapahar Shear Zone in Tamar- Sarjamdih -Tiruldih area, Ranchi and Saraikela- Kharsawan districts, Jharkhand with special emphasis on structural manifestation and locating favorable areas of associated Au, Cu, REE mineralization. (Code No. STM//ER/JH/2012/001) ,73E/12 & 16) Dextral sense of rotation of porphyroblast within augen gneiss at Nuridih and Agra village. Brecciated quartzite as an evidence of shearing in and around Kutam village. Angular

fragments are varying in size, shape and colour. Matrix is also varying in colour and composition.

Dextral sense of slip movements within quartz schist/quartzite and augen gneiss near Sarjamdih and Nuridih.

F1 inclined fold within granite gneiss near Dulmi village plunging 30° towards 230° degree. Ferruginisation in quartzite, network of quartz veins of different phases, rotation of

porphyroblast, mesoscopic faults and brecciated quartzite indicate a major tectonic zone from Tamar-Sarjamdih to Kutam.

Sulphide mineralisation as an evidenced in quartz vein and leaching effect have also been noticed.

Two phase of quartz veins near Chunidih village. One is well foliated and another one is massive, the younger one.

Mafic rock near Chunidih village showing concordant relationship with mica schist. 30° toward 270° plunge of F2 fold (tight inclined fold in mica schist) near Chunidih. Showing

mullions in the XY plane of strain ellipsoid near the hinge part. Different types of rock have been studied under microscope like amphibolite, dolerite, mica

schist, quartz sericite schist, granite gneiss, phyllitic mylonite, brecciated quartzite, brecciated granite, volcanic tuff etc. The study has been summarized below Amphibolite: The rock is coarse grained. It consists of mainly amphibole, quartz and plagioclase feldspar, opaque, epidote etc. All the amphibole grains are not oriented in a particular direction. Few are oriented in a particular direction and few are making a triangular relationship. The intergranular spaces are filled with quartz and altered feldspar. The amphiboles are bluish green in colour and fibrous in nature. The amphiboles are showing different character under PPL & CPL condition by their interference colour and pleochroism. The reaction texture is evidenced by their replacing character to each other and the development of quartz and opaque. This character of the amphibole seems to be the result of alkali metasomatism. Actually further detail study is required to identify the minerals under EPMA. The opaque are subhedral to euhedral in shape. Some skeletal grain of opaque are observed. Along the cleavage plane the quartz and feldspar are being developed creating a sieve like texture. Different slides of amphibolite are showing somewhat different character by their volumetric percentages of mineral association and intensity of deformation. The reaction texture is not always clear. Dolerite: The rock is composed of hornblende, plagioclase, quartz and opaques. Epidote occurs as a secondary mineral which is alteration product of plagioclase feldspar. The interlocking igneous texture is preserved in this rock. The rock is showing ophitic to subophitic texture. Epidote and quartz occupy triangular to polygonal intergranular spaces formed by orientation of hornblend laths.. The pyroxene grains have been altered to hornblende. Hence no pyroxenes are preserved in this rock. The opaques are randomly oriented in the rock. The shape of these grains is rectangular, squarish, anhedral, circular etc. Size of the opaques also varies from 0.03 mm to 0.65 mm.

48

Mica schist/quartz sericite schist: The rock is composed of muscovite, biotite, quartz, orthoclase feldspar etc. The phyllosilicates are showing preferred orientation defining the schistocity plane. The small grains of feldspar and quartz are embedded in the interspaces of the mica flakes. The early schistocity planes have been deformed and developed excellent crenulations cleavage’ during the later deformation. The cleavage domains are filled with the micas and the cleavage domains are filled up with the quartz and feldspar. At places the mica has been altered to sericite showing clay like structure. The volumetric percentages of quartz and sericite are varying from slide to slide. So the nomenclatures of the rock have been done considering the percentages of the minerals observed. Rotation of the porphyroblast of quartz and feldspar is observed in the mica schist adjacent to the shear zone the mapped area. Different types of shear fabric like “σ”, “ψ”, mica fish etc are observed. Some microscopic tight isoclinal F1 fold is observed. This mica schist is intruded by quartz veins. The veins are showing vug filling structure. Mylonite: The rock is mainly composed of quartz and biotite in decreasing order of abundance. It is a schistose rock and schistosity is formed by planner orientation of biotite flakes. In Q domain quartz are present with small amount of biotite. Here qurtz are subhedral to anhedral in outline and showing undulose extinction and recrystallised mosaic. In P domain biotite flakes are present. They forms aggregate at places. The clear grinding effect of the quartz and feldspar is observed. The rock is very fine grained and composed of muscovite, quartz, feldspar, and opaque. The major foliation is cutting by the shear fabric which is at a low angle to the schistocity. S-C fabric is preserved. Quartz ribbon is observed. Rotation of quartz grain showing dextral sence of rotation is present. Brecciated granite and quartz: Brecciated granite and quartzite both are available in the study area. Earlier worker of the area reported only the brecciated quartzite. But brecciated granite is also observed in the field. This is found in the major shear zone of the area. In brecciated quartzite the quartz grains are predominant. Small grains of micas are observed surrounding the quartz grains. The grains are fractured and the fracture spaces are filled up with quartz veins and matrix of quartz. Shape of the angular clast varies from triangular, rectangular, hexagonal, pentagonal etc. The brecciated granite is composed of plagioclase, microcline, quartz, biotite etc. The angular clast is varying in shape and size. Granite gneiss: Alternate bands of quartz, feldspar and biotite is observed which is the most dominant character of a gneissic rock. The microcline and orthoclase feldspar are dominant than plagioclase feldspar. Biotite and opaque are also observed. At places the feldspar grains are showing augen shape. Plagioclase feldspar is present as blebs within the microcline i.e the plagioclase is hosted by the k-feldspar grains. So, it is a perthitic texture. So the exsolution between k-feldspar and plagioclase occurred during the magmatic crystallisation. Volcanic tuff/acid tuff: This type of rock has been encountered near the Tikar village. The rock is composed of very fine grained. This is a porphyritic rock and composed of altered glass, quartz and opaque minerals. Glass surges are observed. The lapillae of opaque mineral are euhedral in shape and randomly oriented in groundmass of quart and alterd glass.. These are brownish dark in colour in plane polarized light and pleochroic from reddish dark to brownish dark. Maximum size of the grains are 400 micron. Actually further detail study is required to identify the minerals under EPMA. After the detailed microscopic study it required to study EPMA to know the character of the amphiboles in amphibolite, type of the opaques in the different rocks, kind of the plagioclase, kfeldspar grains and mica, to decifer the details of the perthite , antiperthite, tuff etc.

STM of North Singhbhum Mobile Belt in Chandil – Khokro - Kandra area, Saraikela - Kharsawan district, Jharkhand. (Code No. STM//ER/JH/2012/002) During carrying out of STM in FSP 2012-13, the undersigned reported algal mat structure associated with chemogenic sediments i.e., intercalated chert and dolomite beds of Lower Singhbhum

49

Formation near Chandil area. In India, intensive studies on the stromatolites of Proterozoic basins have brought out very encouraging results in Lesser Himalaya as well as in the Indian peninsula. The Singhbhum Group of rocks is characterized with paucity of fossil, hence in the light of intrabasinal startigraphic correlation based on stromatolites these new finding add some modification in the prevailing correlations. The study of stromatolites in the Singhbhum Group of rocks is interesting and significant due to paucity of conventional fossil in them. At 6 km east of Chandil town the distribution of algal mat structure exposed in the chert-dolomite bed. The regional strike of the bed is N70°E- S70°W dipping 50° to 70° towards southerly. The base of the measured section is comprises by buff coloured medium grained acid volcanics and tuffaceous phyllite. The intermediate unit represents chert beds displays a prolific development of algal stromatolites, which include columnar and stratiform structure. The thickness of stromatolite bearing chert beds is nearly 100m and 1000m continuous in lateral disposition. The columnar stromatolites are relatively common while stratiform structures are less common. The stromatolite bearing chert beds of Lower Singhbhum Formation are dark grey to buff white in colour and characterize with thinly to thickly crinkled lamination. The alternating wavy crinkled laminae form finally fascicle and fascicles built up into columns or domes. During collection of field data it was recorded that most of the crinkled laminae of stromatolite are convex at the top and pointing towards south direction which indicates occurrences of younger litho-sequence towards south direction. The stromatolite beds truncated and overlain by top unit i.e. carbonaceous shale near foot of the hill. Field Description of Stromatolites: The colonies are straight and columnar in outline. Each colony consists of a number of hemispherical lamina rounded at the top and the margin pointing downward. Each column is made up of rounded, hemispheroidal laminae and their edges point downward along the margin. They show parallel branching but at places highly broken with reworked and amalgamated with each other (Fig. 1). At places the laminae contains brown to grey coloured fine crystalline suspected material with rounded micro oolites which may be apatite mineral. In view of these representative powdered samples has been submitted to chemical lab for P2O5 analysis. The Columns are cylindrical in shape and rounded to oval in plan section (Fig. 1). Surface height of the columns varies between 50 to 70cm and diameter varies between 10 to 30 cm. The laminae are gentle to convex and closely arranged with minimum interspaces. Dome shaped hemispherical composed of thin dark coloured laminae. The interspaces between fascicles and columns are usually narrow and contain crystalline siliceous material. Columnar forms with parallel branching and absence of wall structure allow them to be considered Collenia columnaris (Fenton and Fenton 1937). During the STM mapping the lithostratigraphically four litho-domains established i.e 1) Lower Singhbhum or Pre Dalbhum Formation 2) Dalbhum Formation 3) Lower Dalma Formation. 4) Upper Dalma Formation. Discovery of stromatolite structure from Lower Singhbhum Group of rocks also remarks about significance of aquatic life and Paleoenvironment as well as biostratigraphy of the mapping area. On the basis of surface manifestation and distribution of old working two brown fields for future exploration area were demarcated. The BRS samples for gold and base metal were collected from those two target area and submitted to ER lab, Kolkata. Similarly it was noted that the area experiences three deformations with planar and linear structure. The lithostratigraphy of four lithodomains are 1) of Pre Dalbhum Formation=Lower Singhbhum Formation equivalent to Chaibasa Formation, and structurally this lithopackage established as older than Dalbhum Formation). This Lower Singhbhum Formation consists of three alternate bands of acid volcanics and epigenetic quartzite (*as epigenetic named due to absence of bedding and sedimentary structure). 2) Dalbhum Formation consists of carbon phyllite, cholorophyllite and interbanded quartzite exposed in the form of high linear hill and inter mountain valley from Tengadih –Saharbera- to west of Jaidah. 3) Lower Dalma Formation consists of carbon phyllite, banded carbonaceous chert, purple tuff and two bands of breciated quartzite/acid volcanic? exposed from Balidih west to Katjor

50

east. In view of future exploration of gold and basemetal the Lower Dalma lithodomain seems to be important brown field. These two bands of breciated quartzite contains numerous gossanised feature and at places shallow to deep old workings. The breciated quartzite-I within the carbonaceous phyllite are occurs more or less continuous while breciated quartzite-II occurs within the brown siliceous tuff which is now targeted for gold exploration in Rudiya and Largadih Block. The distribution of breciated quartzite-II is not continuous like BQ-I. It was disposed as folded and then faulted and distributed as in echelon pattern from west to east. 4) The Upper Dalma Formation consists of Schistose agglomerate, Unschistose agglomerate, pillow meta basalts and three linear body of gabbro dyke. The clast of schistose agglomerate is highly stretched and elliptical where C axis is five time longer than X axis; while the clast of unschistose agglomerate are angular, subrounded to square in shape. Especially in Unschistose variety high amount of unsorting of clast was noticed which varies from cm to meter scale indicated explosive robust of lava flow. Three generation of structural deformation has been recognized in the area. All the lithounits oriented at WNW-ESE direction and dipping towards south. The first deformation represent by first foliation trending in N70ºW-S70ºE orientation and dipping 70º to 80º towards southerly. The second foliation shows N40ºW to N40ºE trend with 45º dip. The crenulation cleavage /puckering related to second deformation has noted in chlorophyllite and purple phyllite. Similarly second generation of fold with different axial angle of geometry in which axial trace of macroscopic fold and regional fold shows similar disposition. At places fold axis lineation is highly prominent. The third foliation which cut all the earlier foliation is trending N20ºE - S20ºW with sub-vertical dip. SL. NO.

SU: ODISHA STM: Specialised Thematic Mapping around Kudarsahi- Kuchaiburi-Kuhisila area of Badampahar-Gorumahisani belt, Mayurbhanj District, Odisha with special emphasis on search for gold mineralization. STM//ER/ORS/2012/001 Two bodies of magnetite are observed within anorthositic gabbro near Kumbhardubi and

north-west of Kumbhardubi. Length and width of magnetite bodies vary from 75m-700m and 30m-50m respectively.

Near Tandipani, tongue of alkali-feldspar granite is intruded into anorthositic gabbro and xenolith of anorthositic gabbro is observed within alkali-feldspar granite south-east of Bhasankocha. On the basis of field observations it is suggested that the alkali-feldspar granite is younger to anorthositic gabbro.

Structurally the area has undergone at least three phases of deformation

Specialised thematic mapping in Riamal-Rengali-Lodhajhari area in the marginal zone between Singbhum craton and Easternghat Mobile Belt, Angul-Deogarh districts, Odisha. STM//ER/ORS/2012/002 The mapped area represents northern most occurrence of Easternghat super group of rocks in Odisha. Regionally, the area forms a part of the contact/marginal zone between the Easternghats Super Group and Singhbhum craton. A shear zone was observed during the course of the field work near Thianal village on bed of Hinguli Nadi in which grey coloured quartz-mica schist was observed alternating with light coloured fine grained feldspar rich mass in 73C/16.The occurrence of nephlene syenite is observed in the mapped area (alkaline magmatism) in a linear pattern and may indicate a prominent zone of weakness and probable suture zone between EGMB and Singhbhum Craton.

Target : 2100 Sq.km An area of 2100 Sq. Km. of area has been covered during FS:2012-2013 by geophysical mapping

employing gravity and magnetic surveys in parts of Toposheet Nos. 73 I/13, M/1 & M/5. These surveys were taken up with a view to identifying the regional geological units and to bring out the structures that may have bearing on possible mineralization.

The general trend of gravity and magnetic contours are in the direction of NW-SE direction with a gradual rise towards the east under soil cover. Qualitative analysis of gravity anomalies indicated three domains of gravity anomalies; A. Moderate gravity anomalies representing the CGC, B. Gravity high zone of about 15 mGals over the soil cover indicating the possible presence of EGMB suite of rocks under the cover and C. Well defined gravity low covering part of Gondwana basin (Talchir formations).

Magnetic anomalies indicated lows over CGC, moderate anomalies in the central part of the area over Rajmahal traps and high zones in the south and Eastern part of the area reflecting the nature of basement to be EGMB suite of rocks under the sedimentary cover.

Regional Geophysical Mapping In Parts Of Sambalpur District, Odisha, F.S -2012-/GPM/ER/HQ/2012/001

Target : 2100 Sq.km in Toposheet Nos. 73 C/3, 4 & 7 An area of 1400 Sq. Km. of area has been covered during FS:2012-2013 by geophysical mapping

employing gravity and magnetic surveys in parts of Sambalpur district, Odisha to delineate broader

spectrum of surface and the subsurface geology and tectonics of the area.

Primarily, the GM mapping in the area has brought out the disposition of the EGMB rocks characterized by

high gravity/high magnetic signature and the Gondowana basin in the form of gravity low and magnetic

low with respect to the Peninsular Gneisses.

Superimposing gravity anomaly over geological map has shown close correlation with high gravity

anomaly zones corresponding to khondalite and charnokite massif of Eastern Ghat Mobile Belt there by the

predominant nature of the crust is delineated.

The pronounced gravity highs associated with magnetic anomaly is found to have close correlation with

geology of the Precambrian charnokite massif within the peninsular gneisses suggesting that the

Charnockite massif is intermediate to basic in nature. The low gravity zone trending in NW-SE direction

and passing through Giripali, Pariabahal and up to Meghpal is well corroborated with Talchir formation of

Gondowana sediments. The Bouguer anomaly map also depicts a significant gravity low or trough around

Chamunda and Kusamura area may be due to the presence of peninsular gneisses juxtaposed with high

density charnokite massif.

HIGHLIGHTS OF MINERAL INVESTIGATIONS: BIHAR Gold in Korwadih (24°46’30”N:86o18’45”E) – Jhajha (24o46’16”N: 86o23’10”E) area The area of investigation forms the north eastern part of the “Bihar Mica Belt”. Surface manifestation of sulphide mineralization in the form of disseminated specks

as well as stringers of pyrite, minute specks of chalcopyrite, arsenopyrite and stains of copper sulphides have been observed in banded ferruginous quartzite, west of Korwadih.

Carbonate veins of varying thickness have been observed in foliated amphibolite traversing along as well as across the foliation plane. The grayish brown colour goethite exposed near Jhajha hillock shows a typically botyroidal habit occurring in the brecciated, silicified quartzite.

Analytical results of 68 nos. of bed rock samples out of 147 nos. collected from LSM area reveals that the Au concentration value ranges from < 50ppb (67 nos.) to 95 ppb (1 no., from brecciated silicified quartzite). 147 nos. of geo chemical samples out of 230 nos. from detail mapping area reveals value ranging from <50ppb (146 nos.) to 60ppb (1 no., quartz mica schist).

Gold in Gere – Kewti area The area comprises tuffite/tuffaceous phyllite BIF, highly foliated quartzite,

alternative quartzite and phyllite of folded Rajgir metasediments, different variants of granites which include homophanous biotite granite, micro-granite and coarse grained granite and rhyolite.

56

Second generation quartz veins parallel to the shear foliation at Gandhar are showing mineralisation in the form of arsenopyrite, chalcopyrite & minor pyrite grains.

Shear zones within microgranite near Abgila and within coarse grained granite at Gere shows significant sulphide minerals in the form of chalcopyrite, galena, minor arsenopyrite and pyrite. Minor sulphide minerals in rhyolite at the thrust contact north of Mirzapur village has also been observed.

One strong bipolar IP anomaly in the central part of the Gandhar quartzite which is also partly supported by SP anomaly has been observed.

So far analytical result for 205 nos samples has been received. Except one (70 ppb), the remaining samples have yielded Au concentration of < 50ppb gold concentration. The concentration of Ag in all analysed samples is less than 2ppm.

The sheared granite samples from Gere area yielded relatively high concentration of base metal particularly copper and zinc. The highest concentration of Cu 1.94% and Zn 0.15% is found in quartz vein traversing sheared granite at Gere.

JHARKHAND Investigation for gold in Sindauri-Ghanshyampur Block, Ranchi District, Jharkhand. (Code No. ME/ER/JH/2010/002) Highlight of work:

Sindauri-Ghansyampur is the eastern continuity of Lungtu-Hepsel-Parasi block where gold resources have been already established. The area is located about 12 km south of Tamar, Ranchi district, Jharkhand which is situated at about 55 km from Ranchi on NH-33 on the way to Jamshedpur. The exposed rocks belong to Singhbhum Group bounded by Chotanagpur Gneissic Complex in the north and Singhbhum Granite in the south. Singhbhum Group starts with Chaibasa Formation constituting of Kyanite-garnet-staurolite bearing mica schist with band of quartzite and ortho/para hornblende schist.

Search Search for occurrence of Detrital Iron Ore Deposits (DID), their structural disposition and correlation in the southern margin of Horse shoe basin around Nayagarh - Suakati area, Kendujhar district, Odisha (G-4).ME/ER/ORS/2010/009

Seven Nos. of isolated Detrital Iron ore deposits (DID) occurrences have been

identified at different location viz. Suakati, western flank and eastern flank (Uppar Kansari, Laupada and Ichinda area) of Gandhamardan Paharh with variable dimensions ranging from 250 m x 200 m to 1 km x 300 m. DID occurs as consolidated, indurated and subangular to subrounded clast-supported conglomerate mainly composed of different clasts of hematite, jasper, BHJ, goethite, ferruginous shale and volcanic rock fragments in 0.5 cm to 30 cm size ranges. The population of Iron bearing clasts (hematite with massive/ hard & soft laminated + BHJ) is ranging from 45 to 75% by volume in the DID. The content of Fe(T) ranges from 45 to 60%(VE).

Stratigraphically, these are unconformably lying over basalt, ferruginous shale and basal gritty quartzite.Fe-rich laterite occurs near Khejurmundi, Kusumita and Dumurdihi area with Fe(T) ranging from 40-50%. These could be a low grade resource of iron ore in future due to lowering of the cut-off grade to 45% Fe in iron ore industry.

Search for PGE in Kamakhyanagar-Chandar sector in the Marginal Zone between Eastern Ghats Mobile Belt and Singhbhum Craton, Dhenkanal District, Odisha (ME/ER/ORS/2012/004)

Lensoidal bodies of chromiferous serpentinised ultramafics comprising massive chromitite, olivine chromitite, serpentinised dunite, altered orthopyroxenite and peridotite occur as detached outcrops in this area.

The regional strike of all lithounits in this domain is WNW-ESE. The earliest identifiable isoclinal reclined folds (F1) are recorded in the Mg-Al metapelite and charnockite near Bhushal and Chandar. The second deformation (D2) has folded the S1 fabric into WNW-ESE trending asymmetric low plunging folds. The regional disposition of different lithounits of this domain is controlled by D2 deformation with a distinctly different geometry.

Chromiferous ultramafics and pyroxenites which occur as lenses within this marzinal zone are sampled for PGE.

Geophysical survey Geophysical Investigation of Volcano-Sedimentary Sequence and Associated Rocks to identify gold and basemetal mineralization at Gere- Kewti area of Gaya district, Bihar, F.S -2012-013/SEI/ER/HQ/2012/004

Target : 250 Sq.km (72H/1 & 5) In Gere-Kewti area, the magnetic (TF) contour map has shown the regional trend of

anomalies follows the general strike direction of the lithological units of the area. Some

62

bipolar anomalies of long wave length have also been observed, which are indicative of fault zone/intrusive/ contact of two lithological units in the area. The one high magnetic anomaly is observed in central part of the area NE-SW direction at Kewti village which may be due to the intrusive.

In Gandhar area, the IP survey has delineated two anomaly zones (IP1&IP2) for a

cumulative strike length of 550 m trending in NE-SW over quartzite and soil cover. IP-1, in the central part of the area, is partly corroborative with feeble magnetic, very low SP and well corroborative with low resistivity anomalies. The Central feeble anomaly zone (IP-2) with strike length of about 50 m and it is supported by low magnetic & resistivity anomalies.

In Kewti area, IP survey has delineated three anomaly zones for a cumulative strike length of

5.1 km trending in NE-SW over Tuff intercalated magnetic formations. The Chargeability zone CH-1 broadly follows the magnetic anomaly zone in the northern part of the area on Tuff intercalated magnetic formations with soil cover. Similarly the chargeability zone CH-2 is within the magnetic anomaly zone in the southern part of the area. This anomaly zone is well corroborating with high order magnetic anomaly, very low SP and resistivity anomalies.

This corroborative geophysical anomaly is suggestive of a favorable zone for the occurrence

of gold and associated sulphide mineralization. The anomaly zone CH-3 is within the magnetic anomaly in the southern part of the area. This

chargeability anomaly corroborates well with high order magnetic, and low resistivity anomalies.

The general depth to the top of the causative body is estimated from the IP pseudo depth

sections are 16m to 20m from the surface. Geophysical logging of boreholes in coal/lignite fields of Odisha & WB

Altogether 22 boreholes, including 18 promotional ones for coal & lignite, have been logged in the said coalfields involving total meterage of 8432 m. The geophysical logs as obtained have been utilized for delineation of coal sections, determination of depth/thickness of coal bed and basic intrusive & demarcation of interfaces of different Gondwana Formations, as encountered in the boreholes.

Geophysical logging for investigation of gold in Largadih –Balidih block, Sareikela-Kharsawan, Jharkhand , F.S -2012-013/ME/ER/JH/2012/001

During the period from April, 2012 to March, 2013 the geophysical logging was conducted in 2

boreholes for 397m for gold exploration in Jharkhand. One (1) borehole is located in Largadih - Balidih block, Saraikela - Kharswan district and the other one in Sindauri block, Ranchi district. Due to non-availability of IP and susceptibility probes only electrical method was used for logging for the boreholes. The geophysical logs normally exhibit synergic character of against the formations and geophysical responses in same nature create ambiguity in identification of target zone. As such geophysical could help only to delineate conducting horizons; however, mineralized zone associated with gold could not be confirmed by available parameters.

The proposed barrage site over Aherajore nala appears to be feasible on geotechnical consideration and the barrage is to be founded over fresh, hard rock. 4.Low Height structures in Sundargarh district(Additional item)-Jaydip Mukherjee Department of Water Resources, Government of Orissa is planning to construct low height storage structures across Ib, Koel, Vasundhara, Ichha, Veden, Saphai and some other small nalas for providing irrigation and drinking water supply. No rock exposure has been found in and around Jhirpani site over Koel River and Kinjirma site over Saphai River. Intermittent exposures of quartzitic phyllite at the left bank in Vedvyas site over Koel River, metabasic rock at the left bank in Kopsingha site over Ib River, granite gneiss at the right bank in kudabaga site have been observed. No rock exposue has been found in and around Deogaon site over Ib River and Phulbari site over Saphai River. Intermittent exposures of slaty phyllite intruded by vein quartz have been found at Sankh and Badjore site. Small outcrops of gneissic rock have been found at the banks of Koitara and Katikela sites. 36m cores from 6 holes drilled at Kinjirima site, 30m cores from 5 holes drilled at Kopsingha site and 30m cores from 5 holes drilled at Kudabaga site have been logged. At kinjirima site, weathered bedrock occurs at 1.9m to 3.8m, whereas no fresh rock has been intercepted in the said holes. At Kopsingha site, bedrock and fresh rock occurs at depths ranging between 1.1m-3.6m and 2.17m -5.08m repectively. At Kudabaga site, weathered rock occurs at depths varying between 2.5m and 4.8m whereas fresh rock occurs at more than 5m depth. The sites appear to be feasible on prima facie geotechnical consideration. 5.Rukura Irrigation Project, Sundargarh district(EG/C/ER/HQ/2012/002) Jaydip Mukherjee Detailed geological mapping of excavated cut off trench between RD 70M and RD 170M= 600 sqm on 1:100 scale was done. Cut off depth varies between 1.62m (RD 95m) and 3.35 m (RD 170m). The excavated cut off under study- indicate presence of top soil overlying on highly weathered and decomposed feldspathic granite mixed with rock pieces, completely decomposed and weathered granite gneiss and highly weathered and decomposed metadolerite. A persistent pebble zone of about 1.5m and 2.1m thickness occurs at the excavated cut off. This pebble zone occurs upto excavated cut off between RD 110 m and RD 130 m – where profuse seepage has been noticed- where cut off is to be taken below pebble bed. The excavated foundation of the key wall and part of right abutment shows presence of fresh, hard feldspathic granite gneiss – dissected by fresh, hard metabasic rock. Rest part is covered with disintegrated rock. Plate load test is to be carried out at this part in order to assess the bearing capacity of the foundation media .Excavated right main canal section between RD 1105m -RD 1400m and RD 1600m-RD 1740m has been studied. The excavated canal section shows presence of top dark grayish brown silty sand followed by highly weathered, disintegrated and decomposed feldspathic granite intruded by metabasic rock. 6.Ret Irrigation Project, Kalahandi district(EG/C/ER/HQ/2012/002) Jaydip Mukherjee Detailed geological mapping of the right abutment between RD 686.5m and RD 713.5m for 185.3m length covering 3706 sqm. on 1:200 scale was done. Average foundation level varies between RL 264m and RL 265m against designed foundation level RL 265m. At the excavated foundation, fresh, hard, compact and competent grey granite gneiss and garnetiferous granite gneiss have been intercepted. Three (3) shear zones have been recorded which are to be excavated twice the width and then to be filled with rich concrete. Detailed geological mapping of the excavated foundation of river bed central spillway Block nos. 4,5,6,7 between RD 636 m and RD 687 m covering 2601 Sqm. on 1:200 scale was done. Average foundation level ranges between 262.7m and 263.18m.At the excavated foundation, fresh, hard, compact and competent grey granite gneiss and garnetiferous

65

granite gneiss have been intercepted. Shear zones have been recorded at places which are to be excavated twice the width and then to be filled with concrete of appropriate strength. 7.Uttei- Raul Integrated irrigation Project, Kalahandi district(EG/C/ER/HQ/2012/002) A total of 0.0646 sq.km area of the proposed 10m high and 340m long Roul Barrage has been mapped on 1:1000 scale covering 90m upstream and 100m downstream of the barrage axis. Intermittent presence of partially weathered to fresh, hard porphyroblastic garnetiferrous granite gneiss has been noted along the proposed barrage site. This lithounit continues in both up stream and down stream Xenoliths of metabasic rocks have also been noted within this rock. Both right and left flanks have been covered by pale grayish brown silty sandy soil. Beside exposed rock, fine to medium grained sand and pebbles/boulders are present. The present Roul Barrage appears to be feasible on techno-economical consideration. Subsarface exploration has been recommended to assess feasibility of the structure. 8. Lanth Barrage Project, Bolangir district(EG/C/ER/HQ/2012/002) Jaydip Mukherjee A 340 m long and 5 m high barrage has been proposed across Lanth River near village Deng for providing irrigation facilities to drought prone Bolangir district. A total of 0.051 sq.km. area covering 50 m u/s and 100 m d/s of the proposed barrage has been geologically mapped on 1:500 scale and 105 m cores from 6 has been logged. The river bed in and around the barrage alignment is covered with coarse grained buff coloured sand. One small outcrop of dark black coloured silicified metabasic rock occurs at the left bank. Weathered rock occurs at depths varying between 2.1m and 8.8m whereas fresh rock occurs at depths ranging between 8.13m and 14m. Subsarface exploration has been recommended in the gap areas to assess feasibility of the structure. 9.Chandrinala Irrigation Project, Sundargarh district(Additional item)-Jaydip Mukherjee A total of 104.8m cores from six boreholes drilled at the gap areas of earthen section have been logged. Bedrock occurs at depths varying between 1.6m and 9.45m whereas fresh rock occurs at 3.8m to 14.93m below ground surface. Silicified metabasic rock is the main rock type. 10. Kanupur Irrigation Project, Keonjhar district (EG/C/ER/HQ/2012/002) Debashis Bhattacharya &A.Bora- Detailed geological mapping of downstream wing and return foundation area on (1:100) scale covering an area of about 2500 sq.m has been done. The mapped area mainly consists of slightly weathered to fresh hard medium grained granite which is later intruded by dolerite dykes along some of the major joint planes giving rise to hybrid type of rock. Due to this intrusive activity the granite has been sheared at places. The granite is traversed by three to four major sets of joints, though in some of the areas it is massive in nature.The two major Shear have been delineated. All the Shearzone were suggested to be thoroughly cleaned before applying dental treatment and fully grouted anchor bars 25mm dia should be provided @ 2.0m C/C in the sloped portions in staggered manner. The major Shearzone in the northern most corner of the mapped area should be provided with Hammock reinforcement with 25mm dia steel both ways as is being followed in the U/S Shearzone in between offset 71m to 82m. Consolidation grouting should be done in the entire mapped area @ 6.0m grid pattern to a depth of 6.0m in staggered fashion from offset 94.7m U/S to 80.90m D/S, distance measured from axis of the spillway. Post grout water loss test should be carried out at least one in six holes. Some seepage points have been observed near RD 1378, 1385 & 1396 at offset 80.90m.The levels of hard granite rock for foundation may be kept as 397.500m. The exposed face/pockets should be covered with concrete immediately so as to avoid any untoward incidences because of heavy cutting. The existing rock near the Shearzone in the U/S wing wall is competent for bearing for reinforcement purpose. 11.Hadgarh Dam, Keonjhar district(Additional item)-Jaydip Mukherjee Fine hair line cracks have been observed at the inspection gallery and adit portion of Hadgarh Dam over Salandi River. During the present investigation, 2 – 5 m long 0.5 mm – 1 mm wide cracks have been noted in both adit and inspection gallery part. It has been reported by the Proejct Authority and local people that tremor also has been felt due to simultaneous heavy blasting of the nearby underground and opencast Chromite Mines located at 0.75 Km – 1.5 Km from the damsite. The nearby guest house of Forest department also show severe crack. On the study of these cracks, it seems that these cracks are blasting induced. The Project Authority installed some glass table tale tail which have been found to be intact on the day of visit. As short-term measure, installation of more glass plates along and across the cracks with proper observation has been suggested. Moreover, the details of location of mines and blasting details are to be collected. 12.Anandapur Barrage Project, Keonjhar district(EG/C/ER/HQ/2012/002) Jaydip Mukherjee Construction stage geotechnical investigation of Block No.4 shows that PCC work has been completed for Bay Nos.20, 21 and 22 where foundation has been kept on soil considering stage bearing capacity. Presently the downstream cut-off between R.D. 265 m and R.D. 287 m has been excavated upto designed foundation level i.e., R.L. 22 m where weathered and decomposed granite gneiss has been intercepted. A total 189 m cores from twelve boreholes drilled at the body part, upstream and downstream cut-off of Block No.3 has been logged which shows presence of weathered bedrock feldspathic granite / granite gneiss between 6.0 m and 9 m depth.

66

As fresh rock occurs at deeper level, foundation of body and both cut-off of Block No.3 should be kept on soil / decomposed rock considering safe bearing capacity. 13.Laxmipathar Irrigation Project, Boudh district(EG/C/ER/HQ/2012/002) Indranil Chakraborty A 545.0m long and 35m high earth dam has been envisaged across the Laxmipathar Nala. Drill core logging of fifteen drill holes, covering 369.0 RM was carried out. The overall assessment of the drill core data reveals that the bed rock depth ranges between 4.5m to 16.5m in the dam axis, between 4.5m to 9.0m at upstream side and between 3.0m to 15.0m at downstream side. The recovery is very poor at some holes, as a result bed rock and fresh rock depth could not be interpreted. At some holes fresh rock has not been encountered within drilled depth. 14.Brahmanipada Irrigation Project, Kandhamal district(EG/C/ER/HQ/2012/002) Indranil Chakraborty The project engrosses a 975m long and 28m high earth dam across river Kolera. Drill core logging of seventeen boreholes, covering 419.0 RM was carried out. Hard lateritic clay has been found upto the drilled depth in the most of the drill holes along the proposed dam axis and highly weathered rock intersected only two holes at 4.5m and 19.50m depth. No fresh rock has been encountered upto the drilled depth (25m) at the holes drilled at the downstream side of the proposed dam axis. Only at three holes bed rock has been found at 9.0m, 10.50m and 18.0m depth. The project has proposed a saddle spillway at the left bank saddle about 5-6 km away from the left abutment. It has been suggested to prepare a contour plan of the saddle area for detailed geological mapping and further investigation of the proposed spillway site. 15.Khadaga Irrigation Project, Ganjam district(Additional item) Indranil Chakraborty - Geological mapping of the barrage site (about 120m long and 12m high), covering 0.02 km2 has been carried out. High grade gneiss (W1) intruded by vein quartz is exposed on the two banks of the river Khadaga at the proposed barrage axis. The river was full of water; therefore the riverbed was not exposed for mapping. However from the geological exposures and strike continuity it appears that rock is either exposed or covered with thin overburden at the river bed. Necessary subsurface investigations have been suggested. 16. Kalasa Irrigation Project, Ganjam district(Additional item) Indranil Chakraborty Geological mapping of the barrage site (about 9.5m high), covering 0.03 km2 area has been carried out. No rock outcrop has been noticed along the proposed barrage axis, abutment, and its surrounding area. The barrage axis has been selected about 40m downstream of the confluence of Kalasa River and a local nala. The mapped area is covered with riverine sand and clayey sand. Necessary subsurface investigations have been suggested. 17.Badanadi Irrigation Project, Ganjam district(Additional item) Indranil Chakraborty Geological mapping of the weir site (about 4.5m high), covering 0.01km2 area reveals that the mapped area is devoid of any rock exposure. Riverine sand and clayey sand cover the entire mapped reach. By observing the materials (big parts of tree) on the river course, it seems that high flood comes along the river; therefore adopting of necessary protection measures has been advised to the project authority. Necessary subsurface investigations have been suggested. 18.Manjore Irrigation Project, Angul district(EG/C/ER/HQ/2012/002) Jaydip Mukherjee A total of 109.5 m cores have been geologically logged which indicate presence of fresh, hard charnockite and granite gneiss at depths varying between 0.15m to 10.17m. In general, fresh rock level gradually goes deeper at the downstream. 19.Prachi Barrage Project, Puri district(EG/C/ER/HQ/2012/002) Jaydip Mukherjee The alternate barrage site over Prachi River near Bajepur village has been studied through geological mapping of 0.05 Sqkm on 1:1000 scale and geological logging of four boreholes totalling 89.5 m. The study indicates that the present barrage alignment appears to be geotectonically feasible. Foundation depth ranges between 4.5 and 5 m in river

bed part and 7.5 m at right bank part. The supplied plate load rest at 2 m depth is 3.555 t/m2 with safety factor of 2.5. Ground condition indicates that bearing capacity will be definitely improved at foundation depth i.e. 4.5 - 5 m as reflected from SPT ‘N’ value. 20.Taladanda Main Canal, Jagatsingpur district(Additional item)-Jaydip Mukherjee Recently slope failure and seepage problem has been observed in Taladanda Canal System between RD 42.5 km and RD 44.4km during the monsoon. To ascertain the reasons of such seepage and slope failure, twelve explanatory holes have been drilled over a length of 2 km. From the study of the exploratory drill hole data, it has been found that in general a persistent sand layer with medium to high permeability (SW, SW-SM class) occurs below this silty sand/clay layer all along the stretch under study. It seems that the canal has been constructed over the sandy horizon of the palaeo channel deposit of Mahanadi River. For arresting the seepage in the stretch between RD 42.5km and RD 44.4km, excavation of a cut off trench at the toe of the left embankment (on river side) puncturing the pervious zone and complete removal of the same and to be filled with impervious earth and compacting the same has been suggested. 21.Hadua Irrigation Project, Cuttack district(EG/C/ER/HQ/2012/002) Jaydip Mukherjee A total 90.8m cores from six exploratory holes drilled (2 at Mahakali nala Bridge site and 4 at Giritota nala Bridge site )have been logged. At Mahakali site, weathered rock (charnockite) occurs at depths varying between 5m and 7m

67

whereas fresh rock occurs at 10.24-19.05m depth. At Giritota crossing, weathered rock (charnockite and garnetiferrous quartzite) occurs at 3m to 6.5m depth whereas fresh rock occurs at 9.22m to 16.21m depth. In general the foundation of the piers of both the bridges is to be kept on weathered rock. 22.Upper Udanti Irrigation Project, Nuapada district(EG/C/ER/HQ/2012/002) Jaydip Mukherjee A total 59.5m cores from 5(five) holes in and around the proposed barrage axis have been logged. Bedrock (Granite gneiss and metabasite) occurs at depths varying between 1.2m and 1.8m whereas fresh rock occurs at depths ranging between 6.2 m and 7.95m. 23.Haladia Irrigation Project, Mayurbhanj district(EG/C/ER/HQ/2012/002) Jaydip Mukherjee During the present investigation, a total of 2340 sq.m. area of the excavated cut-off trench between R.D. 2070 m –R.D. 2160 m, R.D. 2410 m – R.D. 2508 m , R.D. 2520 m – R.D. 2560 m RD 2950m - RD 3010m, RD 3180m - RD3310m have been mapped on 1:200 scale for assessing the geological condition of the cut-off trench. Average cut-off depth ranges between 3 m and 4 m. Cut-off has been kept over highly weathered and decomposed quartzitic phyllite forming clayey mass. Slope failure at the upstream wall between R.D. 2448 m – R.D. 2460 m and R.D. 2494 m – R.D. 2500 m has been noted where the slip occurred at the contact between the pebble bed and highly weathered and decomposed bedrock layer. For this distressed slope part, all the slided materials were suggested to be removed and moderation of slope through proper benching in stepped manner for receiving layer wise compaction. As the test grouting carried out by the Project show appreciable reduction of permeability, two nos. curtain grouting upto 2/3 H has been suggested .The Project Authority arranged Plate Load Test for the above two sites as no fresh foundation grade rock is available upto 30m depth. Safe bearing capacity at 3mtr depth comes to be about 8 tonnes/sqm, which is in lower side. So foundation of the head regulators are to be kept in this soil after improving the bearing capacity and accordingly the foundation should be designed. West Bengal: 1.Pratappur Barrage Project, Bankura district(EG/C/ER/HQ/2012/001) Indranil Chakraborty Two dams have been proposed on Gandheswari river (Height = 28m) and Dwarakeswar river (Height = 33m) at Bankura district, West Bengal for irrigation purpose. Regionally the area belongs to the Chotonagpur Gneissic Complex, represented by Granite Gneiss with occasional metabasic intrusives like amphibolites and epidiorites. Detailed geological mapping of two damsites covering 0.14sq km has been done on 1:1000 scale which reveal that no rock exposure is present on the both banks of the two proposed dam axis. Core logging of fourteen bore holes drilled along the proposed Pratappur barrage covering 167.6 m and logging of twenty three pits covering 42.84 m were carried out. From the drill core log data it may be concluded that at the right end of the barrage, the depth of the bedrock is shallow to moderate (1.5-7.5m), but at the left end of the barrage rock will be encountered at more depth (9-12.50m). No rock is found upto drilled depth at right afflux bundh. Permeability test at the foundation/cut off depth is to be carried out for adopting suitable measures. Subsurface exploration will be required in order to know the foundation condition of Dwarakeswar dam. 2.Purulia Pumped Storage Extension Scheme (Turga Project), Purulia district(Additional item)-Saibal Ghosh & Indranil Chakraborty Purulia Pumped Storage Extension Scheme (Survey of India TopoSmall Hydroelectric Projectet No 73I/4) envisages construction of two rockfill dams, one upper dam (796 m long, 79 m high) and one lower dam (502 m long, 69 m high) across Turga nala to generate 1000 MW (installed capacity) of power in the Ayodhya Hills near Baghmundi town in Purulia district, West Bengal. Water will be passed through two 1634m± long Head Race Tunnels (HRT) for feeding four reversible turbines in an underground power house [157 m (L) x 24 m (W) x 48 m (H)] on the right bank. Regionally the area belongs to the Chotonagpur Gneissic Complex, represented by Granite Gneiss, Porphyritic Granite Gneiss with occasional metabasic intrusives like amphibolites and epidiorites. The bedrock in the project area is hard, competent, and massive and is traversed by prominent schistosity/foliation and three sets of joints. At the proposed upper dam axis,presence of highly fractured, brecciated quartzo feldspathic rock, profuse silicification, swerving of all drainage courses and the marked straight course of the nala indicate likely presence of a brittle zone (presently sealed fault). A tentative location of the dam axis was decided on the basis of narrow nala course, availability of rock on the two abutments and disposition of the major nalas joining with Turga nala. Prepartion of a contour plan of the whole project area depicting the layout of the project has been advised for detailed geological mapping and further investigation. 3.Rammam Hydroelectric Project,Stage-I, Darjeeling district(EG/C/ER/HQ/2012/001) Saibal Ghosh & Indranil Chakraborty Geological mapping (1:1000scale) has been carried out at Rammam intake, Shri Khola intake, Parthem Khola intake, portal area of approach adit to HRT at Mahavir Khola and Bungsen Khola. Jointed quartzo feldspathic gneiss has been noticed in the mapped areas. Drill core logging of eight drill holes covering 410m has been carried out. Garnet bearing quatzo feldspathic biotite gneiss has been encountered at the holes.

4.Kalimpong Water Supply Scheme, Darjeeling district(Additional item)Debashis Bhattacharya A 4 MGD water plant near Puja Dara with intake on Relli River has been proposed to be constructed for catering the needs of water supply to Kalimpong town. During the present visit, various components like intake, water supply mains and intermediate reservoirs for lifting were studied- which have been found to be suitable on geotechnical consideration. Sikkim: 1.Suntaley Hydropower Project(EG/C/ER/HQ/2012/006) Indranil Chakraborty Geological mapping of the proposed powerhouse area, covering 0.15km2 area, has been carried out. Weathered phyllite is exposed from river terrace to road level above which the slope is cover with scree and slopewash material. A sinking zone is observed on the road (El 492m) which may be caused due to piping out of finer materials. Out of two powerhouse sites, the site-1 is favorable due to the absence of sinking zone and presence of rock at the base. However, suitable slope protection measures should be adopted during construction time as the back slope is made up of scree/ slopewash materials. The surge shaft position has to be finalised considering the powerhouse position. Drill core logging (totaling 401m) of three drill holes at dam site and one drill hole at powerhouse and surge shaft site has been carried out. Bed rock in the form of phyllite occurs at depths ranging between 5m and 32m. 2.Kalez khola Hydropower Project(EG/C/ER/HQ/2012/006) Indranil Chakraborty Geological mapping (1:1000) of dam site, covering 0.18 km2 has been carried out. The mapped area is covered with puckered and jointed phyllite (W2), slope wash/debris and terrace materials. Drill core logging covering 32 m has been carried out for the surge shaft area. Fresh quartzite/quartzitic phyllite has been encountered. At the lower portion (from 99m to 107m) soft rock strata (phyllite) has been encountered. Therefore it is suggested to incorporate proper stabilization measure during the excavation of the junction of HRT and surge shaft area. Four quarry site areas have been visited for the construction materials for the concrete portion of the dam for both Kalej Khola and Suntaley Khola Projects. Granite gneiss at two places and dolomitic quartzite at two places are found. Andaman & Nicobar Islands: Khudirampur Water Supply Scheme(EG/C/ER/HQ/2012/003) Saibal Ghosh & Debashis Bhattacharya Detailed geological mapping of damsite covering an area of 0.03 sq km on 1:500 has been done. Main rock type is undifferentiated ultramafics of Ophiolite Group. Alternative damsite has been suggested on the basis of geotechnical consideration. Jharkhand: 1.Suru Reservoir Schme, Seraikela-Kharswan district(Additional item) Jaydip Mukherjee A 165.81 m long and 35.0 m earth dam has been proposed over Suru River near Hurangda and Lakhandih village in Seraikela-Kharwan district. During the present investigation, a total of 230.95 m from twenty (20) exploratory holes drilled at the proposed chute spillway site have been logged, which indicates psence of decomposed and weathered phyllite / schist. No fresh rock has been intercepted in the said holes even upto 25 m depth. From the subsurface condition, it seems that the chute spillway is to be founded on weathered and decomposed rock. 2.Sukri Reservoir Scheme, Lohardaga district(EG/C/ER/HQ/2012/005) Debshis Bhattacharya & A.Bora Cut off trench of the dam in the river bed portion between RD 332.00m and RD 361.00m was studied. Weathered granite-gneiss is exposed at the floor as well as in the wall of the COT right up to 709.00m and the condition of this rock is expected to improve at depth. Seepage has been noticed in the interface of rock and overburden in the upstream wall of the COT. In the adjacent portion of the COT in the left bank, upstream clay blanket has been provided along with partial cut off between RD 214.00m and RD 262.00m and the same has been extended up to 120.00m in the upstream. Considering the pervious nature of the overburden encountered in the presently excavated COT and keeping the above mentioned foundation treatment in the adjacent part of the COT in mind, it would be prudent to provide similar treatment in the river bed portion of the COT. Moreover, the clay blanket may be extended and tagged with the bedrock exposed in the upstream taking care of the overall provisions made in the revised drawing of the project authority. The excavated COT should be completely filled with impervious clay up to the designed level before the onset of the monsoon to avoid any untoward incident. Bihar

1.Kundghat Reservoir Project, Jamui district(EG/C/ER/HQ/2012/004) Jaydip Mukherjee A 351 m long and 38.735 m earth dam has been proposed over Bauhar River near Kundghat village in Jamui district. During the present investigation, drill core logging ( 204. 5 m) of nine (9) exploratory holes drilled at the proposed earth dam and spillway site have been done which indicates occurrence of decomposed and weathered quartzite from surface to 7.77m depth below ground surface. Fresh quartzite and mica schist occur at depths ranging between 1.46m and 11.5 m depth below ground surface. At the proposed spillway site, fresh rock occurs at 1.56m depth below ground surface. Earth dam cutoff is to be kept on weathered bedrock whereas spillway is to be founded over fresh, hard rock- which is available at reasonably shallow depth. 2.Burhi Gandak-None-Baya-Ganga (BG-N-B-G) Link Project, Samastipur, Begugusarai district(EG/C/ER/HQ/2012/004) Debshis Bhattacharya & Jaydip Mukherjee Detailed Project Report (DPR) stage geotechnical investigation has been carried out for Burhi Gandak-None-Baya-Ganga (BG-N-B-G) Link Project During this investigation, off-take point, Burhi Gandak Barrage site, None River Crossing (at R.D. 21.4 Km.) Jamurai Nala Crossing (at R.D. 7.9 Km.), Sultana Nala Crossing (at R.D. 24 Km.), Kabrain Nala Crossing (at R.D. 19.8 Km.), Baya outfall point sites have been examined. The area under study belongs to a part of Burhi Gandak-Gangetic alluvial plain lying between Himalayan Foothills in north and Chotanagpur plateau in south. The area belongs to Ganga Kosi Formation representing older flood plain deposits which consists of unoxidised to feebly oxidized dark grey clayey silt, sandy silt and silty clay. From this study, it appears that the entire canal alignment alongwith CD / CM structures will pass through Gangetic alluvial reach. Preparation of site contour maps of BurhiGandak Barrage site and proposed cross drainage sites has been suggested. (Landslide Projects) 1. Detailed geotechnical investigation of Gayabari(14th Mile) slide on NH-55, Darjeeling District, West Bengal(LHZ/ER/HQ/2012/003)Saibal Ghosh & Indranil Chakraborty Geological mapping (1:1000) of Gayabari Landslide, covering 0.26 km2 has been carried out. The geological mapping revealed that presently the landslide is about 1000 m long (slope distance from crown to toe) with a horizontal distance of ~ 600 m and a slope difference of ~550 m between its crown and toe. The crown of this landslide now rest at EL ~ 1307 m at the lower slope of Giddapahar Tea Estate between two levels of NH-55 (upper & lower) below the Gayabari-3 Gram Panchayat and its toe goes down to the right bank of southerly flowing Shiva Khola at EL ~ 751m. Highly weathered, jointed and sheared mica schist and quartzite have been noticed about 20-30m above existing road level (NH-55) and about 90-100m below the same. At the main run-out portion of the landslide, slided debris of variable thicknesses (~ 5 – 20 m) are selectively accumulated at places, from which evidences of fresh debris sliding/ debris flows are also observed. The left scar is demarcated by a major nala between road level and river. Some minor nalas are observed as gully erosion within the debris materials. Two large fissures/cracks have been noticed at the left side of the left scar above the road. At the right toe region of the slide phyllite intruded by vein quartz is cropping out. Large scale geological mapping reveals that it is a rock slide. The Gayabari end in the south is comparatively less active than that of the slope towards Mahanadi end in the north, where signatures of fresh debris sliding and rock fall are noticed. The some of the possible major causes of this slide are i) wedge failure due to intersection of differently oriented joints within highly weathered and sheared rock ii) planar failure along foliation planes dipping towards the left bank of the Shiva khola at the toe part iii) uncontrolled drainage throughout the area is one of the main triggering factors specially at monsoon time and iv) proximity of a highly mobile tectonic fabric that is the Main Central Thrust (MCT) which favours a strong linkage of inherent geological reasons for sliding or destabilization in this area. 2. Detailed geotechnical investigation of 17 km slide on Algara- Pedong Road, Darjeeling District, West Bengal (LHZ/ER/HQ/2012/002)Jaydip Mukherjee & Nilabja Roy(DMMWB) 17 km slide on Algara - Pedong-Rishi road is an old reactivated distressed zone During the present geotechnical investigation, detailed geological mapping has been done in and around the slide and distressed zone covering 0.18 sq.km area on 1:1000 scale and eight disturbed soil samples and twenty rock samples have been collected from the different parts of the slide complex in order to have an idea of the geotechnical properties of the slope forming mass and preparation of slope mass rating(SMR). 17 km slide is mostly a rock slide got aggravated during subsequent rainy seasons and started enlarging towards left side i.e. Pedong end - after heavy rain during last part of June,2012. In the slide area, the rock type is moderately to highly weathered intercalations of sericite-chlorite schist and silicified phyllite of Gorubathan Formation of Daling Group. At the main slide zone, partially weathered to highly weathered chlorite schist occurs. Appreciable subsidence (1 m – 1.5 m) and cracks have been recorded at the road benches where these nalas are passing. Cracks are concave towards downslope

70

indicating prograding nature of slope failure towards downslope. The entire slope mass is slightly moist and profuse seepage have been recorded at the left part of the slide i.e. Pedong side Shearing is pronounced along the main regional schistosity.. Along this valley ward dipping surface, planer failure is a prominent feature. Intersection of joint planes form prominent wedges. The main reasons of this slide and subsidence are weathered and sheared nature of country rock-chlorite schist/phyllite, unfavourable structural disposition(prominent valley ward dipping joint) ,opening of joints during blasting operation carried out for road metals. In order to arrest the slide and slope distress , repairing of the damaged and subsided part of the road, training and guiding of nala and afforestation are to be considered as short term measure. 3. Updating the existing landslide inventory data along major road corridors of Sikkim-Darjeeling Himalayas during and after 2012 monsoon. (LHZ/ER/HQ/2012/002) Debshis Bhattacharya & A.Bora

A landslide inventory map has been prepared along the major road corridors of Sikkim-Darjeeling Himalaya which reveals spatial distribution of the slides along a total coverage of about 600 line km in different parts of Darjeeling district, West Bengal and the state of Sikkim . This inventory contains information on the landslides occurred along this road during recent times (mainly post 2007 till September, 2012). The present inventory contains information of 118 landslides of which 81 are rock slides and rests 37 are soil/debris slide. Furthermore, 30 slides are new and 88 are old landslides. Out of the 118 slides 46 are active in nature and 39 got reactivated. In total 20 slides are small in nature, 88 are medium and 10 are large landslides depending on their respective dimension. Out of these 118 occurrences of slope failures 98 are cases of landslides and the remaining 23 are the sites of road subsidence/sinking. The quantified relations between geology and landslides indicate that soft, fragile and fractured litho logy of Daling Group consisting of meta-pelites are the most susceptible and vulnerable to landslides reporting 83 incidences in this rock type. Kalimpong Sub-division is the worst sufferer accounting for 51 landslide incidences, 31 slides in other parts of Darjeeling district and remaining 36 slides in Sikkim (mainly East, West and South districts). Out of 51 landslides in Kalimpong 21 are active slides with continuous distress and causing damages to the road corridors. Landslide inventory map depicts the distribution of landslides and its patterns w.r.t. a particular triggering event and thus it may give an idea regarding the probability of occurrence of future events in terms of time and magnitude. This will provide a broad data base of the landslide incidences for the major parts of the Sikkim-Darjeeling Himalayas and this data base would help as a guide for future investigations, monitoring, installation of early warning system etc. depending on its severity. It is also a ready reference to the planners and the administration before taking up any infrastructural and other developmental activities. This inventory can also be utilized as a dependable data source for different kinds of probabilistic landslide susceptibility/hazard assessment of the area. As landslide is a dynamic process this database has been designed in such a way so that the same can be updated / appended whenever required.

Earthquake Geology 1. Study of crustal deformation and strain buildup along MFT, MBT, MCT and

transverse faults in Darjeeling – Sikkim Himalaya and foothills in West Bengal through Geodetic survey using DGPS.

One set of data for a total of 30 stations have been acquired in campaign mode during

FS 2012-13. The RINEX conversion of all the collected raw data, and the 1st phase of data

processing by GAMIT software have been performed with the Teq C and GAMIT softwares respectively. After error cleaning in GAMIT, analysis will be carried out in GLOBK softwares, and subsequently, the final velocity data will be generated.

2. Active Fault Mapping in East Patna Fault Numerous stream offsets along different stream segments were observed and

majority of them point to a dextral slip movement in the area. Sinuousity of the Sugarwe Nadi and Kamla-Balan river reflects the clear effect of faulting on drainage.

Preferential shifting and frequent abandonment of streams of different orders to east are observed in the area.

The clastic sill, composed of medium grained sand, with branching and rebranching features and the micro faults noticed in the left bank of Sugarwe

71

river section are aligned with the sub-surface trace of EPF. The paleoliquefaction site at Kewalpatti area was not reported by earlier workers.

Trenching, detailing, and sampling of the sand blow crater have been carried out. The MEQ survey was carried out by establishing four seismograph stations in and

around Jhanjapur area, Madhubani district covering an area of 400 sq. km. The network was in operation for period of two week in the month of March 2013. The continuous monitoring of the stations enable to record 20 events out of which 8 events with varying magnitude 2 to 4 ml have been located. Besides the events falling around 20-25 km from the East Patna Fault, a few events have been located close to MBT/MCT. Since the item is for two progrmme (FSP.2012-14) the interpretation of seismic data and preparation of maps are under process.

3. Seismic microzonation of Patna Town

An area of 150sq km was covered for Geological, Land use & Depth to water table mapping.

Besides these, an area of 150 sq km of area was surveyed for site response and Vertical electrical sounding studies in and around Patna town b y CGD , CHQ.

To interpret the nature and stiffness of soil and other subsurface geological parameters drilling was carried out and a meterage of 670.10 m was achieved.

Satelite images ( Landsat ETM + and IRS P6 LISS III ) of 250sqkm of area in and around Patna was studied by the PGRS division , ER and lineament Geomorphological attributes are extracted .

The SPT samples thus generated during the course of drilling were sent to the GT Lab , ER for geotechnical analysis for deciphering parameters like Atterberg’s limit , natural density , moisture content , porosity and granulometric studies.

ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES Study of coastal processes in Puri-Balighai sector, Puri district, Odisha. Code No. ENV/ER/ORS/2012/001 The beach deposits exhibit bimodal grain size is comprised of medium quartz sand with minor heavies. The repeat beach profiling over a distance of about 5.2 km for pre and post monsoon seasons indicated beach erosion in the western part (Baliapanda area) and accretion in the eastern part (Penthakata area) i.e, an eastward transport of sediments in study area. The ground water salinity in northern tidal flat and brackish to fresh water within sandy coastal tract has been respectively attributed to the tidal sequence in which proportion of coarse well sorted brown sand increases sea-ward. The ground water salinity, in general, gradually decreases from hinterland plain area to beach area.

Title: Study of high fluoride incidence in groundwater in Purulia-I, Purulia –II Raghunathpur-I, Raghunathpur II, Hura, Jaipur, Kashipur and Para blocks of Purulia district, West Bengal. (Code No: ENV/ER/WBAN/2010/004)

The high fluoride concentrations >1.5mg/litre had been reported in sixteen (16) blocks of Purulia district as per the data provided by the PHED, Govt. of WB. The highest value of 7.73mg/l is from Kashipur Block. Based on the frequency of incidence of high values in the tube well samples, eight (8) blocks were proposed to be investigated in two successive field seasons (2010-12 & 2012-13).

72

Geomorphologically, the area represents a broad pediplain with dissected pediments showing 100 to 250 slope along with widely scattered denudational hills. The groundwater is mainly controlled by secondary porosity i.e. interconnected fractures / joints, bedding planes and fissures within the country rocks.

Geologically, the area forms a part of the Chhotanagpur Gneissic Complex. Endemicity of fluoride-related problems were probed and several cases of teeth- and skeletal-related problems were noticed in Purulia-1, Raghunathpur-1, Kashipur, Jaipur and Para blocks. These villages are Bhul and Ghagurjuri in Purulia-1, Rangamatiya and Napara in Raghunathpur-1, Kharai in Kashipur, Kalyanpur in Jaipur and Chhota-irga in Para blocks of Purulia district.

A total of three hundred and six (306) nos. of water samples from tube-well (153 post-monsoon and 153 pre-monsoon) and 10 special water samples had been collected from streams and ponds in the fluoride-affected areas. The highest values (5.4mg/l & 5.65 mg/l) from Patamputra and Bhul villages respectively were noted in Purulia-1 Block. The high value of 4.9mg/l was recorded from Kharai village in Kashipur Block, where several cases of dental and skeletal fluorosis have also been noticed.

Its high incidence in groundwater may be the result of weathering of Biotite / Muscovite minerals, present in the granite gneiss in the study area. The Biotite-bearing Porphyroclastic granite gneiss identified near the villages, affected by fluorosis may be the source rocks. The apatite in the country rocks present in Panrkidih and Bhelaidih areas may also be considered as the other source.

The ground water samples from tube wells analyzed high-fluoride concentrations around the depth ranging from 30m to 70m, while the maximum frequency of its incidence is around 50m below ground level (b.g.l).

There is a negative correlation between high-fluoride incidence in ground water and drainage density. Most of the fluoride-affected villages are situated on water divide in the study area.

The analytical results of Stream sediments samples showed more than 500ppm of fluoride- concentration in 19 samples, >1000ppm in 3 and >2000ppm in 2 samples, thus indicating the presence of a source of high-incidence of fluoride in solid media also.

A few ‘Mitigation Measures’ were also considered by the investigators. Study of the ophiolite and petrogenesis of the ophiolites of the Great Nicobar Island.(Code No: RP/ER/WBAN/2012/001)

The investigation pointed out that Ophiolites occur in very limited extent in the Great Nicobar Island (Toposheet Nos. 88E/16 & 88F/13). Close spaced traverse mapping has revealed three isolated small exposures of the ophiolitic rocks in the eastern part of the island. The units of ophiolite sequence are exposed as dismembered slices of pillow basalt, basaltic andesite and pyroclastic andesite. All three ophiolite bodies unlike the ophiolite bodies of Andaman Islands are in contact with the sediments of the Andaman Flysch Group.

In general, the ophiolite bodies occurring within the study area of the Great Nicobar Island compared to Andaman ophiolite are very small in size and occur in tectonic contact with Andaman Flysch (Oligocene) sediments. Here only upper part of the ophiolite stratigraphy is preserved as extrusives in the form of pillowed basalt and pyroclastic andesite. No mantle section and cumulate section have been encountered. As three different ophiolite units are found in separate exposures, correlation among them in terms of particular ophiolite slices is difficult. Large part of the study area is covered by Andaman Flysch sediments. The emplacement of ophiolite was considered to be restricted within Eocene sediments from studies in Andaman Islands. But the current study on the Great Nicobar

73

ophiolite suggests, that emplacement of the ophiolite in Andaman and Nicobar Islands as a whole continued even into the Oligocene sediments. Characterization and stratigraphic correlation of the tuffaceous sediments exposed in south and middle Andaman Islands and Ritchie’s Archipelago group of islands.(Code No: RP/ER/WBAN/2010/006).

During the investigation, white coloured porcelainitic beds identified as felsic tuff along with tuffaceous sediments are reported from main Andaman Islands, Ritchie’s Archipelago Group of Islands and Nicobar Islands. These tuff and tuffaceous sediments occur in different parts of Main Andaman Group of Islands and Archipelago Group of Islands.

The tuff-tuffaceous sediments occur in three distinct stratigraphic horizons: a) In between Mithakhari sediments (Eocene) and Andaman Flysch (Oligocene) sediments. b) Basal part of the Archipelago Group (Early Miocene) interbedded with siliciclastic sediments c) Middle part of Archipelago Group of sediments (Middle-Late Miocene/Pliocene) interbedded with

carbonate sediments.

The observations suggest that the sedimentation of Mithakhari Group (Eocene) ends with a volcanic episode. Similarly sedimentation of Andaman Flysch Group (Oligocene) ends with a felsic volcanic episode. Volcanic episodes also repeats within Archipelago Group as found as repetitive tuff beds with carbonates (Mio-Pliocene). Title : Microearthquake Survey In Bankura And Burdwan District, West Bengal ( F.S -2012-013/SEI/ER/HQ/2012/004)

Target : 5 fixed MEQ stations

A Temporary Seismographs Network consisting four stations established in part of Bankura and

Burdwan districts, West Bengal and continuous monitoring of the seismograph stations was carried out

for the duration of three months. The purpose of this program was to assess the seismicity of the area and

to relate any earthquakes detected to faulting and the regional tectonics of the areas.

The monitoring of seismographs stations for a duration of three months in the area enable to record 80

numbers of events with varying magnitude, out of which 48 events were selected for analysis and

determination of earthquake parameters. The magnitude of the events are found be varies 2 to 3.5 ml and

focal depth varies from 2 to 18 km. The frequency and magnitude of events indicate that the area is

characterized by a moderate seismicity.

The earthquakes are mainly clustered at the junction of WNW-ESE and NE-SW lineaments between

Asansol and Panagarh with the extension of 50 km. A few events are also located close proximity of

Hingla fault and few scattered events beyond Asansol to the west. The epicenters of earthquakes

significantly lined up along WNW-ESE lineament defining the southern margin of Koel-Damodar Valley

Graben and thus indicate that the Asansol - Panagarh segment of Damodar valley graben fault is

seismically active and underlying seismogenic sources are cause of earthquakes in recent times. The

thematic mapping carried out in the Damodar valley from Burdwan to Asansol has traced neo-tectonic

signature along this lineament. Title: Study of foraminifera and algae from Tertiary sediments of South Andaman Island, Andaman (. RP/ER/HQ/2012/002)

Highlights:

74

Palaeontological studies were taken up in South Andaman, to create an account of foraminifera and fossil algae and their significance for Tertiary sediments exposed in South Andaman and to establish details of palaeogeography and palaeoenvironments of deposition.

During the field work, 08 nos. of selected sections were measured and 60 samples were collected from the measured sections and different localities for palaeontological studies.

20 species of larger benthic foraminifera belonging to 7 genera, and 23 species of planktonic foraminifera under 4 genera and 8 species of smaller benthic foraminifera under 5 genera have been recorded along with records of fossil algae and 3 ichnogenera.

Palaeocene sequence is not developed in South Andaman .As such the extension of erstwhile Ranikot Sea can not be established beyond Middle Andaman.

Occurrence of ichnofossil assemblage of Skolithos, Planolites and Thalassinoides indicated a subtidal to near shore shallow marine depositional environment for the Mithakhari Group of rocks. However, the foraminiferal limestone pebbles found in the Conglomerate in Chiriyatapu indicates local reefoidal environment during Middle Eocene. Planktonic and smaller benthic foraminifera including Globigerina, Lagena sp., Nodosaria sp. and Stainforthia sp., Cibicides sp. and Karerriai? sp. indicate a deep marine depositional environment for the Andaman Flysch Group of rocks. An open marine the depositional environment is indicated by the predominance of planktonic foraminiferal assemblage during Miocene.

Title: Search for fossils in the sediments exposed between Lethi river and Murti river, Darjeeling district, West Bengal (Item No. RP/ER/HQ/2012/003) Highlights:

Palaeontological study was carried out in the area between Lethi River and Murti River in the Himalayan foothills to search for fossil records and establish the stratigraphic status of the ‘Siwalik gap area’ within the foothills of Darjeeling and Jalpaiguri districts of West Bengal.

Five(5)nos. of sections were measured and forty (40) nos. of samples were collected. Ichnofossils Planolites sp. and Skolithos sp. were observed during examination of the sediments in

the study area. Laboratory study of the collected samples did not yield any vertebrate, invertebrate or palynofossils. . As such, stratigraphic status of the study area could not be ascertained.

23. CCOORREE LLIIBBRRAARRYY The Regional Core Library, Geological Survey of India Eastern Region, started functioning at Bhubaneswar since January, 2010. The Core Library is designed and constructed in such a manner that it can accommodate 4800 no. of drill core boxes systematically. Facility is being created to provide access to the fellow scientists, researcher and students from various earth science organization and University for research and academic activities. Altogether a total of 1686 boxes of 8229.93m skeletonised drill cores have been systematically arranged and preserved in cells earmarked for individual states (Jharkhand, Odisha, West Bengal and Sikkim). The preserved skeletonised drill cores are from Iron, Manganese, Bauxite, PGE, Gold, Rare Metals and Coal investigations carried out in different field seasons by different state units of Eastern Region and erstwhile Coal Wing. The process for transferring of cores (skeletonised) of different Mineral Investigations carried out by GSI is continuing and effort is being made to obtain cores from other sister organizations. Core Preservation The drill cores generated from investigations are preserved in GI sheet boxes of 90cm x 30cm x 10cm with a lid. The cores selected as per the guidelines from CHQ have been transferred to the GI sheet boxes. The details of depth of core preserved and borehole numbers were written on two sides of the GI sheet boxes and ghutkas with paint and by engraving. For storage of drill core boxes inside the Core Library in multi-layer system, heavy duty racks with four partitions have been used. The racks are properly arranged in the repository taking maximum advantage of natural ventilation and illumination and keeping sufficient place for movement of men and machinery. Drill core boxes are stacked systematically state-wise as per Project/Investigation, Borehole and depth of cores. Details of the drill Core Preserved So far, the drill cores preserved in the Regional Core Library are from 16 investigations, pertaining to 4 stat graphic boreholes for Gondwana coal and 1 from Rangit Window, Sikkim and rest 11 for 6 mineral commodities like Iron, Manganese, Gold, PGE, Rare Metals and apatite. The drill cores preserved in the Core Repository include boreholes drilled for Iron ore, manganese and bauxite investigations in Bonai-Keonjhar belt; PGE investigation in Baula-Nausahi M-UM complex in Odisha, Gold investigations from Pahardia and Parasi areas, Jharkhand; Rare Metal and apatite investigation from Purulia district, West Bengal; and coal investigation from Bokaro Coal field, Jharkhand, Raniganj coal field, Birbhum Coal Field, West Bengal, Talcher Coal Field, Odisha. Out of the 1686 boxes of skeletonised core preserved in the core library, there are 124 boxes with a length of 492.30m of core from 3 Iron ore investigations representing 10 boreholes, 155 boxes with 490.56m length of core from 2 Manganese ore investigations from 13 boreholes, 98 boxes with 1180.65m length of core from 1 Bauxite investigation from 39 boreholes, 50 boxes with 363.65m length of core from 1 PGE investigation from 8 boreholes and 167 boxes with 462.02m of core from 1 stratigraphic borehole in for coal in the state of Odisha. Similarly, there are 92 boxes with 443.70m length of core from 1 Rare Metal investigation representing 23 boreholes, 42 core boxes of 195.50m drill core of 6 boreholes drilled during apatite

investigation of Purulia district, West Bengal 332 boxes with 1680.25m length of core from 2 stratigraphic boreholes of coal in the State of West Bengal and 1 from Rangit Window, Sikkim. There are 385 boxes with 1766.55m length of core from 2 gold investigation representing 58 boreholes located and 200 boxes with 1028.90m drill core from 1 stratigraphic borehole of coal in Jharkhand. As per the Policy Guideline for establishing National Drill Core Library and recommendations of the Core library Committee, modernization of the core library at Bhubaneswar is in progress. Litholog data available for all skeletonised drill core have been entered in MS Excel format. Database framework for data connectivity has been created in MS Access incorporating borehole details, storage position in the library, litholog, major oxide and trace element analytical data, petrography, ore characteristics, mineral chemistry, etc. Petrochemical data of drill core samples (each 1m length) for a total legth of 157.00m from the Boreholes JBH-9 & JBH-28, drilled during Iron Ore Investigation at Jumka-Pathriposhi area, Bonai-Kendujhar Belt, Sundargarh district, Odisha. was entered in MS Access Format. Presented the work of Core Library for the F.S. 2012-13, before the Chairman and Members of Stage Review Committee. Engaged in entering Petrochemical data of core samples(varying in length from 0.50 to 1.00m) for a total length of 63.05m for the borehole KPB-3, PBH-37, LBH-37, PBH-45 & LEB-7 drilled during Manganese investigation of Bonai-Kendujhar Belt, Odisha. Engaged in entering the trace element analyses of Core samples for a total length of 5.65m samples of Borehole BBH-3 drilled during Purulia apatite Investigation, Bheliadih area, F.S.2008-2010, Purulia district, West Bengal. Submitted a proposal to the DIC, SU, Odisha for the visit of Shri V.K. Khadse, Suptdg. Geologist, SR, Hyderabad to SU.
