26 CHEPTER - 02 TOPOGRAPHY AND GEOLOGY 2.1 Topography: The lease area is falling in the river bed of Boria River. On the north - eastern side of the lease area since, the sand area falling in the riverbed, the general surface level of the lease area is comparatively lower than the surroundings. The general surface level is around 557 meters MSL on the river bank. The drainage direction is towards north and south direction in the lease area. The lease area has been surveyed on a scale of 1:4000 with contour interval of one meter. 2.2 Regional Geology and Local Geology: River & Drainage The lease area forms the river bed of Boria bed on the northeastern side of the lease area and flows towards south. The mine area for which the Mining Plan has been prepared is a River bed Mining Project. Geologically, the rock formations occupying the district range is of Indravati Group. Transportation of Sand The sand is not a insitu materials but being carried out by flowing water during the monsoon every year form various catchment areas in Bastar District and getting accumulated at convenient locations like bends, escarpments etc. And as such the sand of the lease area is a carried material brought from various locations and getting accumulated at convenient places in the flow direction of the River. The size of the accumulated sand varies due to the time factor taken by the river as well as the quantity Off flow water is towards the flow direction. The depositions normally take place on winding course (bends)/meanders/loops/circuitous journey (of a river) in flow direction. Since expect the monsoon, the flow of water is very low. The depositions take place in rainy season only and this phenomenon take place during every monsoon, as such the availability of sand is throughout the year. The maximum width of River bed is about 80 m and maximum width of the mining area is about 50 m. The mining lease area is covered with river borne deposits which are deposited in the DUBEUMARGAON GHAT during the flood season. The DUBEUMARGAON GHAT receives its sediment load from the disintegration/erosion of the rocks forming catchment area. The deposit contains sediment of quartzite, sandstone, with fine nature of sand, silt and clay. The color of the course aggregates varies from white off white to brown in colour. Local Geology The Indiravati Basin, covering an area of 9000 sq km of Bastar Province, exposes Late Proterozoic cover sediments in Jagdalpur plateau region. It is characterised by sandstone, shale, limestone and stromatolitic dolomite. The Basin is mainly confind in Bastar District of Chhattisgarh and Koraput District of

27 Indravati Group Orissa. The sedimentary sequence rests nonconformably on the archean Granitic complex. Indiravati group of Meso to Neo Proterozoic age is divided into Tirthgarh and Jagdalpur formations. Tirathgarh Formation is exposed in the south eastern and northern part of district and comprises shale, sandstone, quartzite, sub-arkose and thin beds of conglomerate. Jagdalpur Formation is exposed in the south eastern part of the district and comprises shale and limestone. Here the Jagdalpur formation are overlain by the upper Proterozoics of the Indravati Group and Machkot Dolomite Member particularly Shale which is overlain by the quaternary and recent alluvial sand/silt & clay alternate beds. STRATIGRAPHIC CLASSIFICATION OF INDIRAVATI BASIN Intrusive Member Lithology Generally fine to boulder sized sedimentary deposit of material of unconsolidated nature in the form of Recent alluvium along current channels and flood plains. Very fine grained disintegrated unconsolidated alluvial soil deposite Sub-recent Laterite Jagdalpur Formation (200 m) Kanger limestone ( m) Cherakur Formation Machkote Dolomite Member Purple shale with purple and grey stromatolitic dolomite. Grey laminated limestone. Purple shale with arkosic sandstone, chert pebble conglomerate, grit. Tirathgarh formation (110 m) Chitrakot sandstone member Mendri member Purple shale with quartzite intercalations Subarkose & orthoquartzite basal conglomerate.

28 CHEPTER - 03 RESERVES Give estimates of Geological reserves along with grade under proved, probable and inferred categories by standard method of estimation supported by analytical data. Reserve has been calculated by surface area method. Minable surface area has been multiplied with the thickness. Thickness is taken as 6 m as no mining will be allowed to more than three meter On the basis of data available and considering the points detailed below the estimated reserve of the mineral in the proposed land is approx. 1,61,250 M 3 - (a) Total thickness of sand deposit is considered 3.00 meters for reserve computation however actual thickness of sand is about 6 meter from ground level. (b) Hectares area is considered for the estimation of reserves. The parameters considered for the reserve estimation are as under: a. The general surface level of the lease area is 557 MSL on the river bank. b. The topographical mapping was carried out at 1m contour intervals. c. The process of accumulation of sand is a continue process every year during rainy season in this area due to location being as embankment. d. The reserve has been calculated by area of influence method. e. The proved thickness has been considered as 2.5 meters and the resources has been comes under Measured Mineral Resources (331). f. The probable thickness has been considered as 2 meter and the resources have been under Indicated Mineral Resources (332). g. The B.D. of sand has been considered as 1.7. h. The lease area has been recently surveyed on dated 05/07/2014 on the scale of 1:4000. (I) Measures Mineral Resources (proved): The lease area is 64,500 sq m and thickness of ordinary sand is considering 2.5 meters from surface Hence the estimation of total mineral resources is as under: Total Lease Area of Riverbed m 2 Total thickness of River Bed Reserve in B.D. Tonnage M 3 64, m 1,61, ,74,125 (II) Indicated Mineral Resources (Probable): Further 2 meters thickness has been considered for this category hence, the estimation of Mineral resources is as under: Total Lease Area of Riverbed m 2 Total thickness of River Bed Reserve in B.D.

29 CHEPTER - 04 USE OF MINERAL The extracted Sand is supposed to be sold in local market only. Sand is used in civil construction works likes building, Dams, Roads, etc. for construction of walls/base. The most common use of sand is in building materials. Sand is mixed with cement and water to make concrete. Sand is used in the manufacturing of brick and other materials. It is used as filler in various different processes. Sand is an important ingredient for concrete roads, boundaries etc. sand is sold for manufacturing of any industrial product like glass moulding etc.

30 CHEPTER - 05 DEVELOPMENT AND PRODUCTION PROGRAMME Method of mining - Open cast manual mining. Development of Mines - Mining parameters - Maximum depth of removal of sand will be considered 3 m from the surface level. Outline briefly, year wise development of the production for first five year including precautions to be observed. The five years of mining plan will be from 2014 to The sand will be accumulated by labours in the convenient place and directly loaded into truck etc. Since, there will be no pit formation, hence development of the pit is not considered and sand is directly deposited in every monsoon. The estimation of blocked out resources: The surface blocked due to ramps for movement of transport vehicles and also deducted blocked undulation at the sand surface 10 % area comprising non minable thickness of sand. Total Lease Area of Riverbed m 2 Total thickness of River Bed Reserve in B.D.

31 Available volume of sand blocked due to slope developed in unconsolidated material 10% = 14513M 3 Minable reserve = 1,45,125 M 3-14,513 M 3 = 1,30,612 M 3 OR Minable reserve = 1,30,000 M 3 The mining plan has been shown in the Google map with the position of the lease area with co-ordinates of latitude and longitude. Anticipated Life on Mine: There is no specific life of the mine area as the area under reference is open and barren river bed of the River Boria and whatever quality of minor minerals are extracted from the said lot during one year; more than the extracted quantity of the same are automatically replenished every year by the River Boria itself on account of its flow and velocity. Long Term Mine Design: Working of entire deposit of sand in this lease has been conceptualised keeping in view i. Adequate sump capacity, proper floor level ensuring good mine drainage. ii. Entire lease area is mineralised and workable. Accordingly, the optimum pit limit, position of working benches presently and at the abandoned stage, position of sump, a forestation scheme are shown in the present conceptual plan. Optimum Exploitation and Utilization of Mineral: This deposit is being worked to produce sand saleable for construction and other industries. Therefore to generate better averaging material working limits are extended in depths as well as in lateral directions. Thus the optimum pit limits based on the exploratory assay data are marked on the plan. Mining Method The mining operation will be started after the grant of order from Mining department. Open cast manual mining operation has been adopted which is surface exploitation method. For managing gravel mining, it is necessary to estimate the annual bed load sediment supply from upstream, the replenishment rate, and to limit annual extraction to that value or some fraction thereof, considered the "safe yield".
