3.6.1 Method of Mining

Since the deposit in this area is massive in nature, it is proposed to carry out only opencast

Mechanized mining during this plan period, i.e. five years. The mineral is laying on the sub-

surface therefore Mechanized opencast has been the obvious choice.

The following mining parameters are proposed

Type of working : Opencast, Mechanized

Bench height : 3 m

Bench width : More than 6 m

Overall slope : 45o maximum

PRODUCTION DETAILS

The Proposed Production of Quartz & Feldspar in next three year:

3.7 Raw Material Required Along With Estimated Quantity, Likely Source,

Marketing Area of Final Product/S, Mode of Transport of Raw Material and Finished

Product

No raw material will be required for production of Quartz & Feldspar. In the operation phase Quartz & Feldspar will be excavated by Mechanized method and

loaded directly into trucks/trolleys to stone crusher from the mine site. Eventually the finished

product will be supplied to the market

3.8 Resource Optimization/ Recycling and Reuse

Not envisaged.

3.9 Availability of Water Its Source, Energy/ Power Requirement and Source

3.9.1 Water Requirement

Water required is 11.71 KLD. It is proposed to obtain water for drinking from nearby village.

3.9.2 POWER

The operation will be done only from sun rise to sun set hence there is no power requirement

for the project at site.

5.3 Assessment of Infrastructure Demand (Physical & Social)

On the basis of the preliminary site visit, the infrastructure demand in the villages was

assessed on the basis of need and priority.

5.4 Amenities/Facilities

Mines Office, Workshop etc.

Proper site services such as First Aid, temporary shelter, Drinking Water will be provided to

the mine workers.

Transport of Men and Material:

Workers from nearby villages will be engaged for mining and transportation purposes. They

will come for work on foot.

The material from the mine will be transported by trucks / dumpers.

6.1 Industrial Area (Processing Area)

No infrastructure is proposed.

6.2 Residential Area (Non Processing Area)

As local workers from nearby areas will be engaged for the mining activity, no residential

area/ housing is proposed.

6.3 Green Belt

Plantation will be done in the 7.5 m barrier zone along the periphery of the mining lease area.

receiving environmental clearance.

8.2 Estimated Project Cost Along With Analysis In Terms of Economic Viability of

the Project

Initial cost of the project has been estimated as 70 Lakhs

9.0 ANALYSIS OF PROPOSAL (FINAL RECOMMENDATIONS)

The proposed mine will bring economical benefits to the state by the way of Royalty for

mineral and to the local people by way of direct and secondary employment opportunities.

The mining activities as proposed are the backbone of all construction and infrastructure

projects as the raw material for construction is available only from such mining. The Quartz &

Feldspar extracted is in high demand in local market.

Thus the project will bring about socio-economic improvement of the area and will prove

beneficial to the area
