5 CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION OF THE PROJECT/BACKGROUND INFORMATION 1.1 IDENTIFICATION OF THE PROJECT AND PROJECT PROPONENT This is a new proposed project of Black Trap mining. The project name is M/s. SAI MINERALS which is located at Survey No: 13, At: Ashnavi, Tal: Jhagadia, Dist: Bharuch, Gujarat. Category of project B Sr. No. In the schedule 1(a) The proposed Lease area hactare The applicant Mr. Amarjitsinh R. Varachhiya is a partner of this black trap mining project. Resident of the applicant is located at Correspondence Add: G-7/8, Prestige Chamber, ABC Circle, Nr. Ashish Hotel, Bharuch. We have Mining lease for quarry applied from Geology & Mining Department, Bharuch on dated: 31/12/2015. Please refer Annexure 1 of Form I 1.2 BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF NATURE OF PROJECT. Black Trap mining is a practice to extract Black Trap, mainly through blasting in Black Trap/Rocks area in an open pit mining. Black trap is a raw material for the kapchee, greet like construction material. In the construction business black trap plays an important role. Black trap is mineral present as stone benches. The height and thickness of bench is vary with place to place. The average thickness of the overburden is around 2.00 to 3.00 meters. The Over Burden or waste will be stacked separately and temporarily for ultimate dispose off by means of backfilling and also for covering the mine area. Black Trap is proposed to be excavating mechanically with blasting. The over burden/ waste is proposed to be backfilled in worked out areas. It is proposed to produce Black Trap at 20,000 MT/Year. 5

6 1.3 NEED FOR THE PROJECT AND IMPORTANCE TO THE COUNTRY The Mining project falls in the area of the Bharuch district, Guajrat. As industrial growth and infrastructure growth is going on day by day in Gujarat, there is huge requirement of concrete or kapchee that plays a very crucial role in any developing countries. These black trap should be transfered to stone crushing plant for making different size of kapchee. 1.4 DEMAND AND SUPPLY GAP As infrastructure growth and infrastructure growth is on peak in Gujarat, there is a huge demand of Black Trap as a raw material (To be used by stone crusher company). There is a marginal gap between demand and supply. 1.5 EXPORT POSSIBILITY Black trap extract from the mining will be transferred to the stone crushing unit. 1.6 DOMESTIC/EXPORT MARKET Black trap extract from the mining will be transported to the nearby stone crushing unit. No export is proposed. 1.7 EMPLOYEMENT GENERATION (DIRECT & INDIRECT) DUE TO THE PROJECT. About 15 staff members including labors directly and approximately 5 persons will be engaged indirectly in this proposed Black Trap mining project. Thus total 20 person will get employment including directly or indirectly. Considering 5 people in a family, total 20 x 5 = 100 person will be benefited and shall depend on the mining activities of this mining lease area. 6
