Accessibility: This granite building stone quarry is located at 2.41 Kms from New New Naduvil

Village in Thaliparamba Taluk, Taliparamba is located at about 16 Kms N of Kannur town. The

quarry can be reached via Malabar Hill Highway Road.

The Infrastructure Plan vide Plate No. 8.

Topography : The mining permit area is located on the slope of the hillock gently dipping

towards NW. The highest elevation in this area is 470.0 mRL and the lowest elevation is 420.0

mRL.

Brief Description of the Project:

Geology:

Regional Geology : The district can be broadly divided into seven geological belts trending NW-

SE viz., (i) northern belt of Charnockite group extending further north and east to the adjacent

districts, (ii) north central belt of Wayanad schist complex, (iii) Central belt of eninsular Gneissic

Complex extending to the southeast, (iv) south central belt of Vengad Group, equivalent to

Dharwars, (v) southernmost belt of Migmatite Complex which extends further south to the

adjacent district, (vi) Sedimentary (Warkalli Beds) in the western part near the coast and (vii)

Quaternary sediments along the coast. The lithology of Kannur district is grouped under

Precambrian, late Tertiary and Quaternary periods and the Precambrian rocks dominate over the

other two. Charnockite Group, includes pyroxene granulite, charnockite (hypersthene granulite)

and hornblende-diopside granulite. While hornblende granite and charnockite occupy large areas,

pyroxene granulite occurs as linear bodies in the southeast. Hornblendebiotite gneiss constitutes

the litho unit of Migmatite Complex. It has a large areal extent along the coast, south of Kannur.

Towards east and southeast, discrete metasedimentary and ultramafic sequences which have been

designaed as Wayanad Schist Complex and are considered equivalent of Sargur Group of

Karnataka. They occur as isolated bands within charnockite and gneiss. Their contacts are

generally discordant due to later folding, metamorphism and migmatisation. The group comprises

quartzite, magnetite quartzite, garnet-kyanite-sillimanite gneiss, quart-mica-kyanite schist, quartz-

sericite schist, amphibolite, kyanite-sillimanite-sericite quartzite, metaultramafites. Garnetkyanite-

sillimanite gneiss/schist is widespread in the east, whereas the other members of Wayanad

Complex occur as linear bands, lensoidal bodies and vestiges to the West Peninsular Gneisic

Complex, represented by hornblende-biotite gneiss comprise of a complex suite of gneisses and

granites, representing the anatectic phase of migmatisation of schist complex. East of Kannur

extending upto Tellichery in the south, a large body of quartz-mica schist is separated from the

other schistose rocks by a conglomerate horizon extending over 8km. This lithounit known as

Vengad Formation, characterised by lack of migmatisation, presence of primary structres and

absence of high grade minerals, is correlatable with rocks of Dharwar Super Group. Large bodies

of anortjosite, gabbro, granite and granophyre from the post Vengad basic and acid intrusives.

Dolerite dykes trending NW-SE represent the younger basic intrusives. Late Tertiary sedimentary

rocks (Warkalli beds) occur as isolated patches along the coast near Kannur, Pazhayangadi and

east of Payyannur. They comprise variegated clays and friable sandstone. At Kannur and

Pazhayangadi, carbonaceous clay with thin seams of lignite is reported towards bottom of the

sedimentary sequence. The Tertiaries as well as the basement rocks are extensively lateritised. The

pebble bed, reported near Valapatnam along the bank of Valapatanam river, is considered to be of

Quaternary age. Quaternary alluvial deposit occur along the coast and in the valleys.

Local Geology:

The building stone granite are very well exposed in the old working pit, whereas part of area with

lower elevation is covered by top soil of about 0 to 1.0m thickness.

II. Brief description of nature of the project

The ‘Granite Building Stone Quarry of M/s. Memi Granites Pvt Ltd.,’, over an extent of 0.930 Ha

is a granite building stone mining project. The granite building stone is the basic rock in this area

to be excavated by quarrying.

This Granite Building Stone quarry is proposed to be operated by Opencast Semi-Mechanized

Quarrying Method. The mechanized operation of quarry shall use excavators, tippers, rock

breakers, Jack hammer drilling and blasting. The excavated material shall be crushed in the

crushers located outside the quarry permit area.

The maximum production capacity proposed in this area is 75,013 tonnes per annum building

stone of size 150mm to 250mm.

The quarrying operation shall provide 31 direct & equal number of indirect employment to local

people.

III. Need for the project and its importance to the country and or region.

The basic objective of the project is to have effective utilization of granite stone as a building

material in this region and state. The spur in infrastructure development and construction industry

has enhanced the demand of granite building stone in past few years.

Mainly infrastructure projects – like roads, highways, railways, bridges, buildings, township, Port

Development, etc., have raised the demand of building material. Building stone quarry not only

provides the building material but also employment and economic growth of the region that

ultimately enhance the socio-economic status of the people of the region and the state. The mining

activities shall provide socio-economic benefits to the local population with direct & indirect

employment opportunities. The project also contributes to the regional and financial benefits in the

form of Royalty, Cess, Taxes, DMF etc.

IV. Demand-Supply Gap.

Granite Building stone is an important component of the construction activities for infrastructure

development. The demand for granite building stone is increasing along with the increase in

Page 8: 1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARYenvironmentclearance.nic.in/writereaddata/District/pfr/...Granite Building Stone Quarry of M/s MEMI GRANITES Pvt Ltd., Pre-feasibility Report 1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

infrastructure and construction activities in Kerala. This quarry can produce max 75,013 tonnes of

building stone annually and the demand of building stone by various industries can be partly

fulfilled by this project. During last few years there is a sudden increase in the Real estate & Port

development activities which has further enhanced the demand for building stone, hence, there is

heavy requirement of granite building stone to meet the demand supply chain.

V. Imports Vs Indigenous production

The requirements of granite building stone in infrastructure industry is huge where as the prices of

granite are relatively low. The import or export of the same is not feasible due to heavy

transportation cost. The granite building stone of size 150mm to 250mm shall be transported / sold

to the crusher outside the quarry Permit, where it shall be sized and sold to the local market for

infrastructure development.

VI. Export possibility.

The price of the granite is very low and the transportation cost is very high. Hence there are no

export possibilities of the same.

VII. Domestic/Export markets.

The granite building stone of size 150mm to 250mm shall be transported / sold to the crusher

outside the quarry permit, where it shall be sized and sold to the local market for infrastructure

development, real estate builders, contractors, etc. and to the nearby vendors for government

infrastructure projects. It is not viable to export this material. However, there is huge demand for

the granite building stone in the domestic market.

VIII. Employment Generation (Direct and Indirect) due to the project.

influx of people into the region; therefore, no increase in the population is envisaged during the

period of the operations.

The operations are also small scale. Hence, infrastructure demand both in the form of physical and

social infrastructure, in terms of physical infrastructure will not be very demanding.

However, the project would raise the economic status of the people in the region thus the social

infrastructure like education, health and hygiene, sports, etc. would be quite demanding. The

company thus commits to support the local community in the field of Health & Hygiene, Basic

education, Education of girl child, Sports, renewable energy etc. thereby strengthening the social

infrastructure of the region.

6. PROPOSED INFRASTRUCTURE

(i) Industrial Area (Processing Area):

No Crushing or screening or processing is planned within the quarry permit area. The entire

product from the mine will be transported to the Crushing & Screening plant located outside the

permit area. Existing road shall be strengthened & made use for the transportation. As the mining

equipment are all diesel powered there is no need for external power. The infrastructure facilities

like Quarry office, site services, First Aid room, Rest shelter, and other statutory facilities, etc.,

shall be located in the close proximity of the quarry permit area.

The man power requirement shall be employed from local area, no additional infrastructure is

required.

(ii) Residential Area (Non Processing Area):

No additional residential area is required as the manpower for this project shall be employed from

the nearby villages.

(iii) Green Belt:

0.282 Ha area earmarked for safety barrier shall be developed as green belt by planting minimum

but not limiting 350 local species. Till conceptual stage totally 0.282 Ha area shall be covered

under green belt. Apart from this Afforestation shall be done on the haulage road by planting 100

saplings.
