3.0 GEOLOGY AND EXPLORATION:

(a) TOPOGRAPHY:

Topographically the lease area is having hillock. Highest elevation of the applied area is

390 m above MSL, located along the outer side of the area and lowest elevation is 383 m.

situated on central part as the natural dipression. Difference between highest and lowest

elevation of the area is about 7m.

(b) REGIONAL GEOLOGY:

Rock formation ranging in age from Archean to quaternary is exposed Barhi in the Katni

district. The oldest rocks are represented by Tirodi Gneissic Complex of Achaean to Palaeo

Proterozoic age. Sausar Group represented by Bichua Junewani Chorbaoli and Mansar of

Mesoproterozoic age is exposed in the southern part of the Mandla district. The Aravallis group

of rock formation comprised of an immense thickness of predominantly argillaceous rocks,

which exhibits prograde metamorphosed character and belongs to Mahakaushals group of rocks

of lower to middle Proterozoic age. The major litho units are metamorphosed sandstone

(quartzites), dolomite and dolomitic quartzite and weathered BIF. The regional trend of rocks is

NE-SW. These have been intruded by acid and basic intrusive. Structurally both primary and

secondary structures have been developed .The rocks have been subjected to polyphase

deformation and two sets of joints have developed.

LOCAL GEOLOGY:

The area is occupied by amphibolites of Mahakaushal group. These amphibolites are

medium to coarse grained, grey to dark grey in colour, hard jointed and consist of plagioclase

feldspars and amphiboles.

Meta lava/Basalt/Amphibolites rock found in the area. This is gray / bluish colour in

nature. Local geology, minerals & geometry of the flag deposits in the lease area established

during mining operations.

General logging within pit in the lease area is as follows:

Soil -0-1m

Metal stone 1-30m (from general ground level)

The topographic plan of the lease area prepared on a scale of 1: 1000 with contour

interval of 2 m. depending upon the topography of the area are taken as the base plan for

preparation of geological plan. The details of exploration already carried out including evidences

of mineral existence shown on the geological plan.

(c) GEOLOGICAL RESERVES:

A Abandon Hand Pump is present just outside the lease which shows the mineralization

up to the depth of 0 to 30m. Hence up to mrl 353 has been considered in 122 category of UNFC

Based on the strike of the rocks, continuity of mineral is assessed in the QL area, and exposures

of outcrop of Metal stone can be seen in existing in the area and same has been taken for

estimation of mineral reserves in the area.

Reserve of Metal stone is estimated by cross Geological section method in to proved and

probable categories. In the leased area recovery percentage of Metal stone is seen as 95% by

volume, same has been taken for estimation of reserves, remaining 5% volume will be generated

as waste.

EVALUATION OF AREA ON UNFC CLASSIFICATION BASIS

GEOLOGICAL AXIS: In massive deposits.

Influence of mineral exposure abandon hand pump outside QL boundary is taken

maximum 200 as the basalt formation in massive in nature can be seen by naked eye also.

The lease area is geologically proved from surface RL 390-383 mrl. to 353 mrl. as

marked on geological plan and sections for this explored depth assigned G=1 for geological axis

of UNFC classification.

On the basis of 1 abandon hand pump borehole situated in the north of the quarry, entire

area is considered for mineralized zone. There is one abandon hand pump reportedly had being

dug 30 m from the ground level.



7

Details of mineralization are as follows:

Metal stone Throughout the lease area Mrl 383 to 353 mrl. recovery about 95%

On this basis reserves have been calculated by cross sectional method up to Mrl 353 in

G-1 category.

FEASIBILITY AXIS:

As this is mechanized category mines the present Mining Plan made for this area is

considered to be of prefeasibility status. Hence prefeasibility axis under UNFC for the deposit is

F=1.

ECONOMIC AXIS:

On the basis of prefeasibility study economic viability of the deposit has been established

presently to work out G1 = Up to Mrl 353 m thick mineral over the area of the lease.

NOTE:

332 = 122 proved + 222 PFMR

FMR is potential resources blocked in 7.5m boundary, in ultimate pit slope, etc.

4.0 MINING:

(I) EXISTING MINING:

It is a case of grant of quarry lease; this mining plan has been prepared for to carry out

the systematic working by using machines. As Metal stone is a hard rock as per DGMS norms 4-

6 m benches can be formed. Blasting is regular phenomena. Blasted material is about 80%.

Blasting is done for heaving purpose. Then it is brought to nearby stacking point where sizing is

done manually, rarely by rock-breaker. This sized material is feed for the crusher, where

different sizes are obtained as per buyer specification.

CHAPTER – 5

5.0 BLASTING:

Opencast manual / semi-mechanized method will be adopted. Hand tools such as

crowbar, spades, chisel and hammer will be used along with blasting parameter for proposed

mining.

At places the massive igneous formation may occur then blasting may require to remove

the boulder the proposal of blasting as follows:

Broad Blasting & Drilling Parameters:

The proposed mining operation is small in scale and the average production will be in the

range of 72975 m3 annually. The future production will be also in the same range. Due to this,

the blasting parameters will be very simple and requirement of explosive will be limited. Bothe

primary or production blasting and secondary blasting operation will done by simple square and

triangle pattern. The other blasting are as follows:

Detail of Blasting Parameters:

Depth and diameter of Hole 3 meter depth 34 mm dia

Blasting Pattern Single row blasting having length of free face of 1 meter at the

working pit.

Space between holes 2 mtr. x 2 mtr.

Burden spacing 1 meters

Powder Factor 5 tonnes per kg. of explosives.

Consumption of Explosives 10 kg. per round for 100 nos. of holes and 500 mtr.of detonating

fuse.

Monthly consumption will be around 75 kg. of Nitrate Mixture 200 of detonators and 100

mtr detonating fuse.

Type of Explosive to be required:

The basalt Crusher stone is medium hard but highly jointed and fractured, so occasional

light blasting is required. Nitrate mixture of class 2, detonators and detonating fuse will be used

for carrying out blasting operation. At present blasting is being carried out o contract basis by

blasting contractor and no need of storage of explosive are proposed because blasting operation

will be done by reputed blasting contractor having explosive license from explosive department.

I strongly advice to lease owner , before blasting operations to obtain all necessary

permission from Government authority and inform blasting timing to nearby villages.

CHAPTER – 6

A) During the proposed mining, seepage of ground water will not affect the mining work

because ground water level is at RL 340m. and proposal of mining (up to renewal period) is up

to RL353 m. Ground water and rain water accumulated into working pit will be dewatered using

5 H.P. diesel operated pump. Water table in the area varies between 38 to 40m

B) Working is not expected below the ground water table.

C) Quantity and Quality of Water likely to be encountered .The pumping arrangement

and places where the Mine water is finally proposed to be discharged:

There is no possibility of accumulation of seepage of ground water because ground water

level is at RL 340m. and proposal of mining (up to applied period) is given up to RL 353m.

Ground water and rain water accumulated into working pit will be dewatered using 5 H.P. diesel

operated pump having capacity to lift 5000 lit/hour with maximum head of 30 m.

The pumped out water will be used for agricultural purpose by surrounding local people.

The discharged water will pass through the settling tanks were suspended particles are settled

before discharged for agricultural use, surrounding area is agricultural land. A settling tank is

proposed south of proposed working.

CHAPTER – 7

7.0 STACKING OF MINERAL REJECT AND DISPOSAL OF WASTE:

During the proposed mining about 17108m3 mine waste (05%) is likely to be generated

details are given below.

Mine waste:

By volume it is about 0.05%, in the form of waste fragments. During the proposed

working about 17108 m3 mine waste will be generated, and will be used in the maintenance of

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT STATEMENT DESCRIBING THE

IMPACT OF MINING AND BENEFICIATION OF ENVIRONMENT ON THE

FOLLOWING OVER THE NEXT FIVE YEARS:

AIR QUALITY:

The dust generated during drilling of blast holes and by mining activity, may pollute the

air to some extent and which will be controlled by spraying of water as and when required.

WATER QUALITY:

Proposed mining operations are of small scale which will not cause adverse effect on

quality of ground water.

NOISE LEVEL:

It will be created by drilling of holes and movement of truck/ dumper, drilling and

generator set etc. However noise generated by these will be occurring at low level and will be

within the prescribed upper limit as it being small nature of working.

VIBRATION:

Proposed mining operations will be of small scale. Drilling and movement of vehicle may

cause hardly any vibrations. Adopting proper drilling technique will reduce the effect of ground

vibrations.

WATER REGIME:

No prominent surface water course is there in the applied area, rain water drains along the

slope of area. Proposed mining operations are of small scale and no prominent surface water

course is there in the area therefore proposed mining operations will not cause effect on water

regime of the area.

SOCIO ECONOMICS:

There will be beneficial impact of mining up to some extent on socio-economic

environment of the area. The mining activity will cause new job opportunity for at least 30 local

people. Proposed mining operations may improve the financial status of the local people.

HISTORICAL MONUMENTS ETC:

There are no historical monuments in 500 m. radius of the applied area.



27

ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN:

TEMPORARY STORAGE AND UTILISATION OF TOP SOIL:

No top soil generation during proposed mining.

LAND RECLAIMATION:

Waste generated during proposed period 17108m3 will be will be used in the

maintenance of the road.

IN CASE EXPLORED AREA ARE PROPSED TO BE USED AS RESERVOIR, THERE

SIZE, WATER HOLDING CAPACITY AND PROPSAL FOR UTILISATION OF SUCH

WATER:

At the end of proposal period about 19204m2

areas will be developed as water reservoir

i.e. 372-353mrl which will be left as it as because of depth persistence of metalstone is

anticipated in the area. Rainwater may get accumulated in to working pit ,it will serve as natural

water reservoir.

PROGRAMME OF AFFORESTATION:

Plantation will be done within north western 7.5 m. barrier zone. Site for proposed

plantation is chosen, so as to facilitate proper monitoring and after care of plants on regular basis

programme of afforestation is decided keeping in view to improve environment. Plantation is

proposed by considering that each plant will cover about 3 x 3 m. area and survival rate is

considered about 80%. Plants like Mango, Karanj, Subabool, and Gulmohar and other verities

will be planted in consultation with forest department. Sapling will be put. Sapling will be

planted in 30 cm. deep holes covered with soil and manure. Mali will take care of plants for

better survival conditions. Details of proposed plantation are given below:

STABILISATION AND VEGETATION OF DUMPS:

Waste generated in the form of mine waste and weathered Metal stone, which will be

placed in the form of dumps in the southern BZ of the area.



28

MEASURES FOR MININMISING EFFECT ON WATER REGIME:

There is no surface water source in the area therefore there will be no effect of mining on

water regime of the area.

TREATMENT AND DISPOSAL OF WATER FROM MINE:

Rain water accumulated in to working pit will be dewatered using 5 H.P. diesel operated

pump. Drained water will be used for agricultural purpose. Drain out water will pass through the

settling tank, thus heavy particle will settle before discharge of water for agricultural use. Thus

sedimentation of surrounding agricultural fields will be avoided up to some extent. Location of

proposed settling tank is shown in five year dev plan and section plate no.(5)

PROTECTIVE MEASURES FOR GROUND VIBRATION/AIR BLAST CAUSED BY

BLASTING:

Blasting will be done during proposed mining; hence there will be possibility of ground

vibrations which will be monitored frequently by MPPCB or govt. authorized private agency.

MEASURES FOR PROTECTING HISTORICAL MONUMENTS AND FOR

REHABILITATION OF HUMAN SETTLEMENT LIKELY TO BE DISTURBED DUE

TO MINING ACTIVITY:

There is no historical monument within 500m. Periphery. Habitat of village of

Karondikala 1.0km. North of the QL area. Proposed mining will not cause adverse effect on

these huts.

SOCIO-ECONOMIC BENEFITS ARISING OUT OF MINING:

There will be positive effect to some extent on socio-economic environment of the area,

as mining activity will cause new job opportunities for at least 28-30 local people, which

ultimately will improve the financial status of the local people

13.3.1 REVIEW OF IMPLEMENTATION OF MINING PLAN INCLUDING FIVE

YEARS PROGRESSIVE CLOSURE PLAN UPTO THE FINAL CLOSURE OF MINE.

It is a case of running quarry lease no part of the quarry will be closed during Mining

Plan period.

13.4.1 CLOSURE PLAN:

MINED-OUT LAND:

As the quantity of waste is not enough to reclaim the entire mined out land only partial

back filling will be taken up. Remaining area will be left for water harvesting.

During the proposed five year period following Quarry will be worked and reclaimed and

rehabilitated at the time of conceptual.

Quarry No. 1: Location as shown in plan.

1. Broken area at the beginning of proposal period in this pit = 0 hect.



32

2. Mined out un rehabilitated area left at the beginning of proposal period in this pit = 0

WATER QUALITY MANAGEMENT:

There is no surface watercourse in the lease area. The water table in the lease area varies

from 38 m to 40 m whereas mining will be done up to avg.28 m depth. Hence, ground water will

not have any significant impact.

(a) There is no river, nalla or surface water source in the lease area. Surface water source will

not be affected in the lease area due to small-scale, simple opencast mining. Erosion,

sedimentation, siltation and water treatment is not expected; since there is no water course in the

area; diversion will not be required. There are no toxic elements in and around the area; hence

contamination of any nature is not expected for surface and ground water course. Scale of mining

is small hence the above factors have no role to play. Water analysis report is appended.

(b) The ground water table is 18-20 m. below ground level, mining will be done above

ground water table; hence ground water will not be affected. The water seeps to the ground

through different water channels. The behavior of the ground water has been noted to be

uniform.

(c) During the course of mining GWL is not affected, water required for domestic

consumption only

Main water sources in the different villages of study are well, ponds and tube wells.



33

ACID MINE DRAINAGE:

Acid mine drainage is produced where ever a mine of any type of impermeable formation

interact with water table, aquifer, perched water body or where surface water finds its way in to

the mine in terrain where sulphide (particularly Pyrites) are present in the ore or country rock.

Among objectionable features acid mine drainage are low pit and high-level sulphide of Iron and

total dissolved solid. They deplete O2 level in water, increase toxicity by rending heavy metal

soluble and create corrosion problem. There is no sulphide in country rock, hence problem of

acid mine drainage is irrelevant in the mine.

AIR QUALITY MANAGEMENT:

The air quality in the lease area is well below permissible limits of pollutants. Small-scale

mining activity is existing in the lease area and the level of SPM, SO2, NOx area are within

promulgated limit.

Promulgated Limit Present in the applied area

SPM 200 ug/m3 60-98 ug/m3

SO2 80 ” Traces

NOx 80 ” Traces

Monitoring of Air and noise quality schedule will be done once in year

During the course of mining regular sprinkling of haul road and village road to some

extent will be done for dust suppression. Grass / Arhar plantation will be done over backfilled

loose material. Watering arrangement will be made. Air monitoring control station is proposed in

EMP plate no. 9. Regular monitoring of the air will be carried out in the peak season to assess

the spm level.

WASTE MANAGEMENT:

Refer para 6.0.

TOP SOIL MANAGEMENT:

Refer para 6.0.

TAILING DAM MANAGEMENT:

No tailing dam will be created in the lease area in future. There is no chance of any water

storage. No toxic contamination is there in the water body.

INFRASTRUCTURE:

EXISTENCE OF PUBLIC ROAD/RAILWAY LINE:



34

Communication:

Other (Nearest):

(i) Railway Station: The nearest rail-head is Katni at 39 km distance.

(ii) Road: Karondikala - NH 78 is present at 4 km distance.

(iii) PWD Rest House: Rest house is situated in Barhi at 6 Km. distance.

(iv) Village: Karondikala is situated at 1.0 km east of the lease area.

(v) Thana: Karondikala is falling under Barhi range of Katni district.

(vi) Nearest Hospital: District Hospital of Katni is situated at a distance of about 39 km

from the lease area.

DISPOSAL OF MINING MACHINERY:

Not applicable, all the machinery on hire basis.

SAFETY & SECURITY:

The working has been proposed at one place in order to have control over the safety and

security of the pit. Mine pit are 30 to 36m. Deep, There is no water accumulation. The mine shall

have a permanent Chowkidar. The Chowkidar will guard the mine to prevent any cattle fall or

access to unwanted persons.

DISASTER MANAGEMENT AND RISK ASSESSMENT:

This being a small scale mine, chances of risk of any accident or disaster is negligible.

This is an opencast mine and problem of landslide is negligible in the area. The other incidents

related to underground mines are not applicable in this case.

A first-aid box and a stretcher shall be kept at the mine site (in case of any eventuality/

accident that occurs) in the office of mines manager. Mines manager will make necessary

arrangements at the time of any mishap. At the time of any eventuality mine manager will give

first-aid treatment to the miner/person injured during mining activity; simultaneously will also

inform DGMS. In case of casualty DGMS has to be informed first; at the same time he should

see that site of accident is not tampered till the competent authority from DGMS inspects the

site. Mines manager should see that the injured persons are admitted in the hospital.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE DURING TEMPORARY DISCONTINUANCE:

The quarry faces at top will be suitably fenced or parapet wall around pit will be made in

order to avoid any cattle fall or accident in the mine during the course of temporary

discontinuance under the guidance of mines manager/ Applicant. On employment of a

permanent Chowkidar, he will properly guard the mine. In case of any eventuality Chowkidar

will inform mines manager, who would handle the case as per the situation within limit of rules

and regulations.

13.5 ECONOMIC REPERCUSSIONS OF CLOSURE OF MINE AND MANPOWER

RETRENCHMENT:



35

(i) Mine closure is an important activity in the community development for surrounding area

in general and for mining site in particular. Mining ceases as a result of exhaustion of mineral

reserves, uneconomical mining or any technical or legal reasons.

These aspects are generally relevant at the time of final or permanent closure of mine or

in case of mine where it is proposed to reduce the manpower in a phased manner.

This will be a working mine during the progressive mine closure plan period. No

manpower retrenchment is expected in progressive mine closure plan period or in near future.

No permanent labour is employed in the mine. About 30 labours mainly local agricultural

labours are employed in the mine. On average the labour employment will be uniform & the

employees will remain same.

(ii) As stated above mostly local residents involved in agriculture works are employed. The

mine will not be closed during the ensuing Progressive Mine Closure Plan period. The mining

will continue at least upto the mining lease period, and as such, no compensation will be paid.

(iii) Agriculture is the other satellite occupation connected to the mining industry. About 30

labours will be employed on average for 300 days in a year. No permanent labour is employed

and persons employed only join works related to the mining after being free from their related

agriculture works. No closure of mine is expected in PMCP period and as such is not applicable.

After mine closure they will continue with their agriculture occupation.

(iv) After exhaustion of mineral in the mined out land, it will be simultaneously back filled

and rehabilitated by way of Afforestation in part of the lease area whereas the rest will remain as

agriculture field.

(v) No man power retrenchment will be done during the ensuing Progressive Mine Closure

Plan period. No socio-economic repercussions are envisaged as such. On the other hand due to

employment given to local residents, socio-economic awareness & upliftment will take place.

Also the poverty will reduce. As stated earlier the mine will not be closed during the ensuing

period & it will be on small scale only.

13.6 TIME SCHEDULING FOR ABANDONMENT:

No abandonment of any activity as stated in para 3 is expected up to the end of the lease

period. This is a running mine and on the other hand all constructions and related work will be

done in the ensuing period. However, a projected time scheduling of major activity related to

mine closure and rehabilitation has been given on page of the progressive mine closure plan

(horizontal bar chart).

No abandonment for the reasons stated above is expected during the next five-year

ensuing period. Besides the statutory personnel required for mining activity, a mine guard will be

employed to look after the safety of the person in the local area approaching the mine site and

cattle fall. He will be paid Rs. 4200/- per month; making a total of Rs.72000/- per annum. No

rehabilitation will be done during next 5 years.

13.7 RECLAMATION AND REHABILITATION COST:



36

Reclamation and rehabilitation cost is mentioned in the below paragraph.

Details of the abandonment cost are as follows: (In rupees)

(i) Construction of bunds, retaining wall, parapet wall etc. Nil /-

(ii) Salary of chaukidar 72,000/-

(iii) Plantation and care taking 5,000/-

(iv) Miscellaneous + Backfilling(if needed) 5,000/-

(v) Water and Air/Noise analysis charges 5,000/-

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Total Rs.87,000/- per year

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

13.8 FINANCIAL ASSURANCE:

The financial assurances referred in Madhya Pradesh minor mineral Rule 1996 will be

submitted whenever demanded by the collector office.

As the area in active mining use is 3.50 Hect. the financial assurance under MP minor

mineral rule would be rupees 52500/- only.

13.9 CERTIFICATE:

A certificate & undertaking regarding mine closure plan has been appended herewith.

13.10 PLANS, SECTIONS ETC:
