Period for which the Mining Lease is granted:

HIG-21, Hudco colony Page 1 of 80 SHALABH SAHABhilai, Dist- Durg (C.G) RQP/NGP/302/2003/A



The Mining Lease is granted for a period of 20 years from 17/01/2002 to

16/01/2022.

1.2 Particulars of approval of Mining Plan (under MCR or MCDR, indicateapproval letter no and date)

The mining plan was approved by Indian Bureau of Mines, Nagpur vide letter No.

BST/Fe/MPLN-465/NGP dated 02-04-1996 and thereafter mining lease was

executed on 17/01/2002. Hence, the first five years of the Mining Plan was 2002-

03 to 2006-07. The subsequent Scheme of Mining for the period of 2007-08 to

2011-12 was approved by IBM Nagpur vide letter No. BST/Fe/MPLN-465/NGP

dated 24.11.2008.

1.3 Date of commencement of mining operations.

After the approval of the Mining Plan on 02/04/1996 and thereafter execution of

lease deed on 17/01/2002, the working permission was given by Collector on

28/06/2002, and mining operation started on 01/08/2002. But due to unforeseen

circumstances beyond the control of lessee, the mining operations could not be

started in full swing; as such, the proposed programme of development and

production, as mentioned in the approved mining plan/scheme of mining could

not be achieved.

1.4 (a.) Deficiencies, if any, that existed in the approved mining plan to betaken note of and rectified by incorporating suitable proposals forimplementation in the scheme of mining.

Due to naxalite problem in the vicinity of the area the targeted production as per

approved mining plan could not be achieved. Float ore in the area has been

collected looking to the condition of the area.

(b.) Review of compliance position of salient features of the Mining Plan onChapter wise basis bringing out marked deviations, if any, and

justifications / reasons thereof. Items to be covered may include




exploration, mine development, exploitation, afforestation programme,reclamation & rehabilitation, control of dust, noise & ground vibrationsand any other significant feature.

Status of different parameters of mining plan vis-à-vis actual achieved

(i) Exploration:The details of the proposed programme during approved Mining Scheme period

(2007-08 to 2011-12) are given below:

Deviation:

In the approved Mining Plan and Scheme of Mining, eight numbers of trial pits

and eight numbers of bore holes were proposed in the area in a phase-wise

programme. Due to law and order problem (naxalite activities) exploration work

as proposed in approved mining plan could not be carried out.

(ii) Production:

Table: Float ore collection of graded iron ore during the Scheme of Mining period

(Year 2007-08 to 2011-12).




Deviation:

Mining lease area is located in Naxal affected area and lot of efforts made by the

company the targeted production as per approved mining plan could not be

achieved, and only float ore has been collected.

(iii) Development of pit:

As per the approved scheme, the proposed pit size upto the end of the scheme

period will be 37,050 sq m. since, due to reasons mentioned above, the actual pit

size is only 250 sq m from the float ore was recovered.

(iv) Generation of soil/overburden:

Proposal inapproved scheme

Status of Compliance Reasons for deviations

There is nogeneration of topsoil/overburden,hence no provisionfor soil dump

No appreciable quantity of top soil is generated.

(viii) Monitoring of Dust, Noise & Ground vibrations:

According to Environment protection Act, 1986, The Company has engaged

consultant M/s Enviro Analysists & Engineers Pvt Ltd., Mumbai to carry out

monitoring of Air, Water & Noise. The consultant has carried out monitoring and

analyzed the samples from surrounding the mine area. The report of the same is

enclosed as Annexure No. XI.

Since, only float ore has been collected from mine area and the mining activities

could not be done in full swing due to law & order problem, thus the impact on

environment due to mining activities is almost nil.




(c.) Review of the compliance position of conditions and stipulation imposed,

if any, while approving the mining plan. In case of non-compliance /

partial compliance, detailed justifications / reasons thereof may be

furnished along with proposal for compliance in the ensuring period.

At the time of approval of Mining Plan no special conditions and stipulations were

imposed by the Indian Bureau of Mines, Nagpur.

The main condition imposed in the approval letter is that, the approval of mining

operations and associated activities are restricted to the mining lease area only.

(d.)Review of compliance of violations pointed out after inspections made

under MCDR, 1988 during last 5 years. The position emerging out of the

yearly review of the mining plans in the field shall also be taken note of

at this stage.No violations were pointed out after inspections made under MCDR, 1988 during

the last 5 years.

(e.) Any other points requiring attention in the interest of proper mine designdevelopment & conservation and environment & ecology of the area.

The development could not be undertaken due to the situations mentioned above,

hence proper mine design, development, conservation, environment & ecology of

the area could not be attended.

CHAPTER-3.0

RESERVES

Topography:

In Metabodeli hill, the area of 25 Ha granted under M.L. represents a prominent

hilly topography with hill ranges trending North-East to South-West direction with

highest level of 578 m. The maximum contour level is 575 m in SW direction and

sloping towards all directions, minimum contour level is 425 m in northern

direction.

The topography of the ML area has been marked on the Surface Plan and enclosed

as Plate No. III.

Drainage:

Nearest drainage is Chargaon River towards S-E direction from the area with a

distance of 3 kms and Putunggori Nala towards northern part of the mine area

with a distance of about 2.5 Kms. The general drainage pattern of the area is

dendritic.

Regional Geology:

The regional geology of the area constitutes Archaean and Precambrian

formations represented by Bengpal group and Bailadila group respectively. The

Bengpal group comprises metasedimentary, ultramefic gabbro-anorthosites suite

of rocks. The granites are observed to be found in a predominantly gneissic area.

This group is co-related with Archaean high grade complexes.




Bailadila group mainly comprises meta-sedimentary dominated by banded iron

formations, metabasics and granite which has been involved in poly-phase

deformations and green-schist to lower amphibolite grade metamorphism.

The geological succession of Iron ore deposit given by Datt (1963), Bulletin

Geological Survey of India is as follows:

quartzites

-------------------------- Base not exposed--------------------------------

The plains and slopes are generally composed of granite-gneisses with enclaves of

meta-sedimentary and meta-volcanic sequence, commonly grouped under

Bengpal group.




Structurally, the area is folded and cross-folded in antiforms and synforms. The

common trend of BHQ is almost NE-SW with moderately dipping towards SE,

rolling dips in BHQ are also observed.

Local Geology: The Metabodeli deposit is a prominent hill elongated in NE-SW

direction. The geological mapping conducted in the applied area, the stratigraphy

sequences are as under:

- Laterites, Soil and alluvium

- Canga and Iron-ore floats

- Insitu – massive/ laminated ore

- Banded Hematite Quartzite / Banded Magnetite Quartzite.

Float Ore:

The north-western slope is dominated by float ore covering an area of 8.80

hectares out of the total 25 hectares ML area. In most of the cases, the float ore

is observed to be embedded in the soil layer although the ore is also noticed as

recemented with laterite forming canga-ore.

Banded Hematite Quartzite:

BHQ is occurring in north-west direction in between the insitu ore and float ore.

BHQ is prominently marked forming interlayer of alternate bands of silica and

hematite of varying thickness from few mm to more than 10 mm. Being

resistance, they preserve most of the structural elements of bedding plane. The

area covering by BHQ zone is about 4 Ha.

Insitu Iron Ore:

The iron ore found in this area is mostly hematite and can be classified as massive

and laminated type of ore is found to occur on the top of the hill elongated N400S-

S400W to almost NE-SW, having strike length of about 1,100 m and width is

about 110 m. The general dip is observed to be about 400 SE. The ore occurring in




this area is mainly hematite also containing magnetite and martite. The area

covering by insitu ore zone is about 12 Ha.

Lateritic Soil:

Lateritisation is a common phenomena noted in the area. Thinly laminated iron

ore are more prone to lateritisation. After lateritisation, they give rise to

lateritisated laminated and lateritic ore which is mostly found on the surface as

thin capping over laminated ores.

Some Canga ore is also noticed in very limited area. It is a broken pieces of hard

ores re-cemented in a lateritic matrix and presenting a brecciated look on the

surface.

3.1 Category wise (proved, probable and possible) reserves estimated in

the earlier mining plan with grade.

As per the earlier approved Scheme of Mining, the reserve of iron ore is as

under:

Category Reserves Insitu ore(Million Tonnes)

SiO2 1 % 0.75 %Phos. 0.008 % 0.03 % maxSulfur 0.006 % 0.01 % max

3.2 Depletion of reserve during the period of the Mining Plan.

Since only float ore has been collected and due to law and order problem in the

area the targeted production as per approved mining plan has not been achieved.

The mineral lifted from the mines is given in table below:

Due to naxalite activities in this region, the targeted production as per approved

scheme could not be achieved.

3.3 Additional Reserves established (with basis and parameter considered)during the period of Mining Plan.

2009-10 00.002010-11 00.002011-12 87.00Total 282.00



After the approval of the Mining Plan, no additional prospecting work was

conducted in the area, hence no additional reserve is established, only reserves

has been re-estimated and classified as per the UNFC norms.

3.4 Category wise updated reserve with grade (indicate end use grade withanalysis) as well as marginal grade.

The reserves and resources of iron ore for both insitu ore and float ore has now

been re-estimated and classified as per the UNFC norms.

Method of reserve estimation is as under:

For re-estimation of reserves, 10 cross-sections have been prepared at 100 m

interval. The proved thickness of the insitu ore has been considered as per the

bore-holes drilled during prospecting stage, since the bore-holes were not in

proper grid pattern this resources has been considered as Indicated Mineral

Resources (G-2) and below this depth further 5 m thickness of iron ore has been

taken as Inferred Mineral Resources (G-3).

The thickness of float ore has been considered as 3 m as per the Approved Mining

Plan/Scheme of Mining.

Estimation of Indicated Mineral Resources (UNFC code 332):

The area is already under mining lease of iron ore on the basis of prospecting

done, but bore-holes are not in proper grid pattern; the geological axis will come

under General Exploration (G-2).

This reserve has been considered as Indicated Mineral Resources (332 category)

as per the following criteria followed as per UNFC.

G2- Category:-

(i) The entire lease area has been covered by topographical-cum-geological

mapping with 100 m grid interval including all surface and geological features,

lithological extent, extent of mineralization, structures, location of pit,

boreholes, etc and the Surface Plan has been prepared on 1:2,000 scale with

contour interval of 5m and enclosed as Plate No. III.




(ii) The study of the Regional Geology and Local geology has been carried out.

(iii) The geological mapping has been carried out in the entire lease area, properly

demarcating the lithological units between insitu ore zone, BHQ and float ore.

(iv)As per the geological mapping, insitu ore zone covers about 12 Ha area having

1,100 m length and width of about 110 m.

(v) The float ore zone covering about 8.80 Ha area upto average depth of 3 m.

(vi)The Geological Plan has been prepared on a scale of 1:2,000 and enclosed as

Plate No. IV.

(vii) Ten nos of cross-sections have been prepared in 100 m interval for the

reserve re-estimation on a scale of 1:2,000 (Enclosed as Plate No. IV A)

(viii) Four nos of inclined bore-holes were drilled during the prospecting period and

accordingly, the Mining Plan was approved.

Estimation of Blocked out Reserves within the 7.5 m of non-mining zone

and due to pit slopes (Pre-Feasibility Mineral Resources 222):

After the estimation of Indicated Mineral Resources (332) as above, an exercise

has been done to bifurcate the Indicated Mineral Resources under Proved

Mineral Reserves – UNFC Code (111) for the mineable part of the mineral

resources which fall within the Ultimate Pit Limit (UPL) and is above the threshold

value of +45 % Fe-content, after conducting a Pre-Feasibility Study and Economic

Viability of the mine; and under Pre-Feasibility Mineral Resources – UNFC

Code (222) for the remaining part of the resources which either fall outside the

UPL within the statutory barrier becoming non mineable.




Before exercising the above mentioned bifurcation a Pre-Feasibility Study has

been done as per the guidelines given in the MCDR 1988 and circulars issued by

the IBM (Pre-feasibility Report is enclosed as Annexure No. XV).

Anticipated Life:




On the basis of the mineable reserve of 4.172 tonnes and annual proposed

production rate of about 0.2 million tonnes, the anticipated life of the mine will be

about 20.86 years (say 21 years).

3.5 Year wise Exploration proposed to be carried out during the ensuing 5years period. Location of trial pits and/or boreholes to be depicted onthe geological plan.

The proposed exploration programme will be as under:

25 nos. of vertical bore holes have been proposed during the first year of the

scheme period at about 100 m grid interval, hence all the Insitu ore zone will

comes under proved category. In first phase bore-holes will be carried out on

strike length at about 100 m interval, thereafter, in second phase, bore-holes will

be carried out in about 50 m interval for confirming the quality of ore in dip

direction.

In the float ore zone, 24 trial pits have been proposed during the first year atabout 100 x 100 m interval to ascertain the recovery of float ore.

To know the quality of BHQ (Fe- content) as per the threshold value of minimum

45% Fe-content, 5 nos. of trenches have been proposed during the first year.

Hence, the iron ore reserves of almost the lease area will be proved during the

first year of the mining plan period. The quantity and quality of the BHQ area will

be estimated as per the analyses report of trenches.

The locations of PBHs, PTPs and PTTs are marked on the Geological Plan and

CHAPTER-4.0

CONCEPTUAL MINING PLAN

Salient features of an updated/modified conceptual plan of the mine

covering the period of anticipated life of the mine, depicted on minegeological plans and sections with necessary statement annexedsupported by essential text, covering the basic & long term designfeatures of mine covering exploration, mine development, optimumexploration & utilization of the mineral, waste & sub-grade mineralmanagement, and environmental aspects. The ensuring five year detailedprogramme should but be a part of the conceptual overall mining plan.

The total lease area is 2,50,000 sqm (25 Ha). The workable area for mining will be

1,86,800 sq m (1,09,000 sq m in insitu ore + 77,800 sq m in float ore).

Out of which float ore area will be filled back, after ascertaining the non

mineralized area, with the generated waste material and ultimate pit will be about

1,09,000 sq m.

(i) Time frame of completion of mineral exploration programme in the

lease, with broad description identifying the potential area to be covered

in the given time frame.

The entire lease area will be explored as per the exploration proposed in Para 3.5

and thereafter no further exploration is required. This has been described indetails in para 3.5.




(ii) Whether ultimate pit limit has been determined and demarcated on

the surface and geological plan.

The workable area for mining will be 1,84,000 sq m (1,09,000 sq m in insitu ore

+ 75,000 sq m in float ore).

Presently, about 250 sq m area covered under pit.

During this Scheme period, the pit size will be 22,800 sq m area, out of which the

mined out float ore area will be almost utilized for dumping the waste material on

footwall side.

The ultimate pit limit will covered all the in-situ ore bearing area, which is about

1,09,000 sq m.

(iii) Whether the site for disposal of waste rock and unsaleable ores has

been examined for adequacy of land and suitability of long term use in theevent of continuation of mining activity.

During the first five year of this scheme period, the waste material will be dumped

on the mined out float ore zone on footwall side, after the fully exhaustion of the

float ore and confirmation of not encountering the BHQ below the float ore.

During the first year of scheme period complete exploration will be done

delineating the shape and size of ore body and also the proved reserve and

accordingly the selection of waste dump area will be selected.

After this first five years, during the mining of insitu ore there will be no

generation of waste.

Hence, no additional area will be required for this dumping.

(iv) Whether back filling of pits after recovery of mineral upto techno-

economically feasible depth envisaged. If so describe the broad features

of the proposal.

The waste material generated during first year mining of float ore will be about

75% of the total excavation. This will be filled back in the fully excavated float ore

area so as to original surface level will be obtained.




During conceptual period, the entire waste material of float ore zone will be filled

back in the fully excavated float ore area.

After leveling the float ore area, the entire area will be covered by plantation.

(v) Final slope of the faces.

The slope of the mining faces will be about 450 which will be sufficiently stable.

(vi) Afforestation.

1. The plateau slope after fully mining the ore will be taken up for plantation at a

spacing of 3 m x 3m in the entire area.

2. Plantation will be carried out on backfilled float ore area.

(vii) Post mining land use envisaged.

CHAPTER-5.0

MINING:

5.1 Salient description of the present Mining method.

As indicated in the approved scheme of mining, the mining operations will be

carried out by semi-mechanized opencast method categorized as “OTFM” under

category ‘A’, with development of regular benches of 5 m height for mining the

insitu ore zone. There is very thin capping of lateritic soil at some places, which

does not require removal. The development of quarry faces shall be made through

deployment of wagon drills of 63 mm dia for drilling and sub-sequent blasting. The

oversized boulders will be manually broken to loadable size and thereafter, loaded

by shovel / excavator into dumpers (15 T) and transported from quarry to the

temporarily stock yard on back-filled area by haulage road having 1:16 gradient as

indicated in the Development & Production plan.

The float ore occurring on the NW slope of the ore body and it is proposed to

mined out extreme northern portion during the first year. The excavation of float

ore area will be carried out by the shovel fitted with ripper. The recovery of float

ore is expected to the 25 % of the excavation and rest 75 % will be waste

(comprising of lateritic soil). After winning the float ore, the waste material will be

filled back in the excavated pit by dozer. The float ore collected by manual labour

will be dozed to form a heap so that it can be loaded by shovel into 15 T dumpers

for transportation to the steel plant.

The entire ore is above the threshold value of 45% Fe, hence there will be noreject. The entire mined out ore is of acceptable grade and there will be




generation of sub-grade ore. The quality of the acceptable grade ore will vary

from 55% Fe to 65% Fe, the average being 63% Fe.

Form the second year onwards, the mining of ore zone will be carried out by top

slicing method. The mining block will be drilling by wagon drill upto 5.5 m depth

to avoid toe formation for a bench height of 5.0m.

After drilling and blasting, big boulders encountered in the blasted mass will be

reduced to loadable size (200-250mm) by manual labour. The sized ore will be

loaded by 2 m3 capacity shovel into 15 tonner tippers and temporarily stocked in

back-filled area for further sorting and sizing. Thereafter, ore will be transported

by separate trucks to the Steel Plant at Siltara, Raipur.

The proposed exploration will be carried out during the first year (2012-13) of the

scheme of mining period, if required, continuing upto second year (2013-14).

5.2 Yearly pit-wise development plan proposal for the next five years,

depicted on plans and sections (ore and overburden to be shown clearly

along with geological formations encountered depicted also the design

and layout of the mine benches in case of opencast mining).

Similarly proposals for development and/or stoping for underground

workings, year-wise, for next five years.

(a) In the ore zone, the overburden in the form of lateritic soil occurring as very

thin capping at places, hence no development is required during the mining

of iron ore. Thus, the generation of overburden will be nil.

(b) The ROM will undergo atleast two handlings and some quantity of finer

fractions will remain at quarry and other losses, it is expected that the

mining and handling loss will be about 10%.

(c) The iron ore quality is suitable for Blast furnace, Sponge iron plant, sintering

plant and pellet plant, hence, there will be no generation of sub-grade ore.

However, if any sub-grade ore is encountered, it will get blended during the

mining.

(d) In the float ore zone, after the recovery of entire float ore, the entire waste

will be dozed to the already excavated area.




As already stated above, no development is required for mining of insitu ore.

5.3 Year wise production plan proposal for next five years along with grade.Blending proposal, if any, may be indicated.

First Year (2012-13) Development and Production:

During the first year, the proposed exploration (bore-holes, pitting and trenching)

will be taken up on priority.

During this year, the mining will be restricted to float ore zone upto 3m depth, in

the northern slope of the area.

During this period about 10,000 sq. m area in float ore with 3.0 m depth will be

excavated. With 25% recovery of float ore and 3.5 tonnage factor (10,000 x 3 x

0.25 x 3.5 = 26,250 tonnes of float ore will be recovered. The big boulders of float

ore will be broken to handlable size.

The balance 75% material will be waste. The entire generation of waste will be

fully utilized for the back-filling the mined out float ore zone. This back-filled area

will be utilized for temporary stock yard.

CHAPTER-6.0

HANDLING OF WASTE / SUB- GRADE MATERIAL:

6.1 Rate of yearly generation of waste and Proposal for disposal of waste fornext five years (indicate sequence of dumping with necessary plans andsections).




In the mining lease area, which is hilly in nature, where insitu ore is occurring, the

lateritic soil is occurring as very thin cap in some part of the area excluding the

float ore zone. Therefore, the removal of top soil for mining insitu ore is not

necessary.

In the float ore zone, the float ore is occurring with lateritic soil upto a depth of

about 3 m, wherein the recovery of float ore boulders will be about 25% and the

rest 75% of lateritic soil will be restored back into the excavated area by dozing.

The yearly generation of waste material is as under:

Year Volume of intercalated waste

(M3)

Remarks

2012-13 22,500 Volume of intercalated waste(soil mixed with laterite, intercalated

material) 75% of the excavation.Total 22,500

Note: From II year onwards there will be no generation of waste/intercalated

waste, since the mining will be confined to the insitu ore zone.

6.1.1Build up of dumps from year to year to be shown in yearly plans andsections with description of the method & manner of disposal of wasterock, designed capacity & height of individual dump and precautionsenvisaged for confinement of the dumps together with design details of

the protective works.




After the float ore is mined out, the area will be concurrently backfilled by the

generated waste material. Hence, the entire waste generated during first year will

be fully utilized for backfilling the excavated area.

Hence, there will be no waste dump generated during this Scheme of Mining

period.

6.2 Rate of yearly generation of sub-grade mineral with reference tothreshold values and Proposal for stacking for next five years (submittednecessary plans and sections). (In case variation from the recommendedthreshold value of IBM, please give adequate justification and reasons).

The sub-grade material above the threshold value will be hardly 5% of the total

ROM which is below 58% Fe, which will get blended with the high grade ore.

Hence, generation of sub-grade ore will be nil.

6.3 Quantity and grade of sub-grade material available at the mine as ondate duly supported by plans and sections and descriptive inclusive of the precautions adopted for storage.

The sub-grade material will be fully blended with the higher grade ore, therefore

no sub-grade material will be available at the mine.

* * * * * * * *

CHAPTER-7.0

USE OF MINERAL

7.1 Changes proposed in use of mineral if any with reasons.




The ore of Metabodeli mine will be used for blast furnace and sintering plant of the

company at Siltara, District- Raipur.

In order to utilized entire iron ore that will be produced from the other mines, the

company is proposing to set up a Pellet plant with a proposed capacity of 1.2 MTPA

and Beneficiation plant at their plant premises. The lessee is also proposing a

beneficiation plant in Bhanupratappur for up-gradation of ore produced from other

nearby mines in view of total utilization of sub-grade ore. Hence, entire iron ore

produced in his other mines will be utilized in steel plant of the company.

7.2 Changes in the specifications, if any, imposed by the user industriesand /or specifications required in case of new user industries, if any, tobe given.

The specification of iron ore at present for various units of company’s integrated

steel plant is given as under:

• For Blast Furnace----+ 62% Fe content in the size of 20-40 mm

• For DRI (Sponge Iron Plant)--+ 63% Fe content in the size of 8 to 20 mm.

• For Sinter Plant--- + 59% Fe content in the size of 5 to 8mm.

• For Pellet plant---- + 64% in the size of 0 to 5 mm.

In the crushing and screening plant at Siltara, after the crushing to maximum 40

mm size, the lumps (8 mm-40 mm) is expected to be about 60% and the

remaining -8 mm fraction in the form of fines will be about 40%.Ore below 58% Fe-content shall be upgraded in Beneficiation plant proposed at

Bhanupratappur and shall be utilized in the pellet plant.

Recently, 5 iron ore samples the Metabodeli mine have been analysed by the

laboratory of Directorate of geology and Mining, Jagdalpur, which is tabulated

below:

7.3 Efforts made for utilization of the Sub-Grade mineral including fines.

The sub-grade ore will get automatically blended with high-grade ore to maintain

the quality specification required by the Steel plant.

* * * * * * * *

CHAPTER-8.0

MINERAL BENEFICIATION

8.1 Results of any beneficiation investigations conducted and changes madein existing mineral beneficiation plant and tailing disposals, if any, withbenefits expected (necessary flow-sheet and tailing dam designs etc. tobe submitted as applicable).




No Beneficiation is required for this ore. The beneficiation process normally

involves sorting, sizing and blending at the mine site. The quality of ore fulfills the

specification required for the blast furnace; hence no additional beneficiation is

required.

At present beneficiation investigation has not been carried out. As soon as mine is

developed in full fledge, the detailed beneficiation test, if required, will be carried

out. At present the quality of ore fulfills the specification required for the blast

furnace as well as DRI; hence no beneficiation is required for ore produced from

this mine.

8.2 Beneficiation test done, if any, on sub-grade mineral including fines andproposals for installation of new or additional beneficiation facility, if any, (furnish process details in brief along with expected tailing loss).

Not applicable.

As per approved scheme of mining, the year wise development and production

could not be implemented due to unforeseen circumstances beyond the control of

lessee.

The reclamation and rehabilitation of mined–out land does not arise at this stage,

since the mining will be done in slicing method from the hill top (+ 575 m MSL)

upto the ore body contact. Thereafter, he leveling the mined–out areas and

afforestation will be done. The float ore mined out area will be filled back from the

OB and waste after entire removal of float ore, thereafter, after leveling the area

will be takenup for plantation.




Proposed Plantation during this scheme of mining period will be done within the 7.5

m of non-mining zone which is as under:

Total 500 nos 5000 sq m

11.4.2 WATER QUALITY MANAGEMENT:

Describe in detail the existing surface and ground water bodies available

in the lease area and the measures to be taken for protection of the same

including control of erosion, sedimentation, siltation, water-treatment,

diversion of water courses, If any, measures for protection of

contamination of ground water from leaching etc. Quantity and quality of

surface water bodies should also be indicated and corrective measures

proposed to meet the water quality, conforming the permissible limits

should also be described. Report of the hydro- geological study carried

out in the area may also be submitted. The water balance chart should be

given. If there is potential of Acid Mine Drainage the treatment method

should be given.

The nalas flowing in the lease area is seasonal and mainly carries surface run off

during the rainy season. The Metabodeli hill acts, as a divider between

watercourses in north and Chargaon River in the south the drainage pattern is

dendrictic.

Due to absence of perennial nala, there will be no impact on water regime. One

dry nala exist in SW side of lease area. As the mining of the deposit would mostly

be confined to the hill slopes, surface run–off water accumulation in the quarry

area is expected to be remote. The ground water table lies 10 m below surface




ground level. Hence, that there will be no accumulation of ground water in the

quarry floor. There is no potential Acid mine drainage.

11.4.3 AIR QUALITY MANAGEMENT:Describe the existing air-quality status .The corrective measures to be

taken for prevention of pollution of air should be described.

The present air quality is free from any pollution, when the mining operation will

commence some amount of dust due to movement of dumpers, blasting of ore

body, loading & unloading of ore will be generated.

This can be reduced by sprinkling water wherever necessary such as haulage loads

and blasted mass while loading. Wet drilling , muffle blasting with delay detonators

will be used to keep the air / noise level within permissible limit.

11.4.4 WASTE MANAGEMENT:Describe the type, quality and quantity of over burden, mineral rejects etc

available and then disposal practice. If no utilization of waste material is

proposed the manner in which the waste material will be stabilized

should be described. The protective measures to be taken for

preventation of siltation erosion and dust generation from this waste

material should also be described If toxic and hazardous elements

present in the waste material the protective measures to be taken for

prevention of their disposal in the air environment beaching in the

surface and ground water etc. should be described.




The waste will be generated during the mining of float ore which will be filled back

after entire recovery of float ore. The details of generation of waste material is

given in the Chapter 6.

11.4.5 TOP SOIL MANAGEMENT:

The top soil available at the site and its utilization should be described.

No top soil dump will be available in the lease area since, the hilly block containing

massive ore zone is almost free from soil cap in most of the places, however, a

very thin cap of lateritic soil available at places on the massive ore is not

removable and hence, there will be no generation of top soil during the mining of

insitu ore. For mining the float ore, the top soil mixed with laterite constituting

75% as waste after removal of about 25% of float ore will be back filled in the

excavated place by dozer.

11.4.6 TAILING DAM MANAGEMENT:

The steps to be taken for protection and stability of tailing dam,

stabilization of tailing material and its utilization periodic desalting

measures to prevent water pollution from tailings etc for arrangement for

surplus water flows along with details design structural stability studies,

the embankment seepage loss into the receiving environmental and

ground water contaminant if any should be described.

Since there will be no beneficiation plant, the question of tailing dam management

does not arise.




11.4.7 INFRASTRUCTURES:

The existing infrastructure facilities available such as roads, aerial

ropeways, conveyor belts, railways, power lines, buildings & structure,

water treatment plant, transport, water supply source in the area etc. and

their future utilization should be evaluated on case to case basis. If

retained the measures to be taken for their physical stability and

maintenance should be described. If decommissioning proposed,

dismantling and disposal of building structures, transmission line, water

line, gas pipe line, water works transportation, infrastructure like roads,

rails, tanks, bridges, culverts, electrical equipment and infrastructure like

electrical cables, transformers to be described in connection with

resorting land for future use.

The M.L area in a Protected Forest Land and at present there is no infrastructure

facilities of any kind in this area.

11.4.8 DISPOSAL OF MINING MACHINERY:

The decommissioning of mining machineries and their possible post

mining utilization, if any, to be described.

The lessee has other mines also and after closure of this mine, the equipments will

be utilized in his other mines.

11.4.9 SAFETY & SECURITY:

Explain the safety measures implemented to prevent access to surface

openings, excavation etc. and arrangement proposed during the mine

abandonment plan and up to the site being opened for general public

should be described.




The ML area is hilly forested, being in the remote forest and is not connected with

public transport road hence not accessible to the general public. Further there will

be no pit formation as mining will be done in slice-mining method from the hill top

to the bottom level. Mining operation will be carried out for about 300 days / year

and hence question of its temporary closure does not arise.

11.4.10 DISASTER MANAGEMENT AND RISK ASSESSMENT:

This should deal with action plan for high risk accident like land slide,subsidence flood, inundation in underground mines, fire seismic activities,

tailing dam failure etc and emergency plan proposed for quick evacuation

ameliorative measures to be taken etc. the capacity of lessee to meet

such eventualities and the assistance to be required from the local

authority should also be described.

The mining will be carried out by slicing the hill top to the ore zone and the

benches with proper slope / gradient on the SE side.

However, the lessee is capable to meet any eventuality and provide suitable and

appropriate assistance as and when required. The reasons given above will not

take place in the mining lease area as the working will confine to open-cast semi-

mechanized method (OTFM). No emergency plan is envisaged at present.

11.4.11 CARE AND MAINTENANCE DURING TEMPORARY DISCONTINUANCE:

For every five yearly review (as given in the mining scheme), an

emergency plan for the situation of temporary discontinuation or

incomplete programme due to court order or due to statutory

requirements or any other unforeseen circumstance should include a plan




indicating measures of care maintenance and monitoring of status of

unplanned discontinued mining operations expected to re-open in near

future. This should detail item-wise status, monitoring and maintenance

with periodicity and objectives.

An emergency plan for temporary discontinuation or incomplete programme due

to court order or due to statutory requirement will be drawn up and executed

depending upon the situation. Since the mining is not hazardous, the situation for

emergency plan is evinced.

However, in case of any unforeseen circumstances, causing temporary

discontinuance, the machineries will be withdrawn to a safer place and the

working and other facilities would be protected by deploying adequate number of

security guards.

11.5.0. ECONOMIC REPERCUSSIONS OF CLOSURE OF MINE AND

MANPOWER RETRENCHMENTSManpower retrenchment, compensation to be given, socio- economic

repercussions and remedial measures consequent to the closure of

mines should be described, specifically stating the following.

Manpower retrenchment is an issue that will be come up at the end of lease

period or at the time of exhaustion of iron ore deposit in the area.

11.5.1 Number of local residents employed in the mine, status of the

continuation, family occupation and scope of joining the occupation

back.

The number of local residents employed in the mine will be about 100. The local

people are in their own tradition and family occupation mostly agriculture and

collection of forest produce. These people will go back to their respective

profession/employments. But since the mining operations will be a continuous

work throughout the year, such situation may not arise because the mining

wages will be much higher than their respective professions.




11.5.2 Compensation given or to be given to employee connecting with

sustenance of himself or his family members.

The retrenchments, compensation to the workers, as and when required, will be

given as per the Central Labour Legislation applicable to metalliferrous mines.

11.5.3 Satellite occupation connected to the mining industry number of

persons engaged these in continuance of such business after mine

closes.

The workers mostly work in seasonal basis and hence satellite occupations

connected to the mining industry are not considered.Hence, after the closure of the mine, there will not be any adverse impact.

11.5.4 Continued engagement of employees in the rehabilitated status of

mining lease area any other remnant activities.

There is hardly any chance of Mining Lease area getting rehabilitated and any

remnant activity, as the land is Govt. Protected Forest land.

11.5.5 Envisaged repercussion on the expectation of the society around

due to closure of mine.

The employment potential of the mine is small, hence it will have no

repercussions on the expectation of the society around due to closure of mine.

However, socio-economic condition of surrounding villages/ area will improve

positively due to higher wages in mining industry.
