PRE-FEASIBILITY REPORT

(As per Ministry of Environment and Forests Letter dated: 30-12-2010)

Contents Details

1. Executive Summary Rampura Marble Mine (ML No.- 420/91) is proposed by M/s Continental Minerals Pvt. Ltd. The

Mine Lease area consists of 3.0 ha, which is located at Khasra Nos.- 394, 395, 397, 396, 402,

446, 403, Near Village- Rampura, Tehsil- Neem Ka Thana, District- Jaipur, Rajasthan. It is a non

forest mining project.

The mine will be operated by semi mechanized mining method, which will require little

blasting. Blasting will be done if necessary after taking pre-consent from DGMS and other

concerning district and tehsil level authorities/officials. It is proposed to avoid blasting as much

as possible as blasting creates cracks in the marble block.

Total Reserves [Proved (111) & Probable (121) as per UNFC] of Marble are estimated at

6,00,900 T and 6,95,760 T respectively. The life of the mine is expected to be 11 Years. The ML

area is plane land. Topographically the mining lease area is hilly land. The highest contour is 346

mRL and the lowest contour is 324 mRL. Slope of the natural drainage is towards NE to SW.

The mining operations will include drilling, cutting of blocks from thadi, separating the required

size block from big block, lifting of mineral and material, loading of mineral and material and

transportation of material. The mined out mineral from stock site will be dispatched to

destination through hired trucks. No beneficiation is required at site. Khanda will be dispatched

to grinding units and block will be dispatched to cutting units.

Total mining area is 3.0 ha. At the end of life of mine, total excavated area will be 2.70 ha.,

which will be left over for water reservoir which would have a positive impact by recharging the

ground water table. As the continuity of mineral may be goes in depth beyond the present

reserves limit. Thus at this stage reclamation is not proposed. The scheme of reclamation will be

provided at proper time. Presently the excavated land is proposed to use as water reservoir,

which would have a positive impact by recharging the ground water table.

It is proposed to plant total 400 trees in 1.0 Hectare land i.e. 33.33% of the total lease area. 120

trees will be planted in 0.30 ha. land along the barrier of 7.5 m along the boundary of mine lease

and all around haul roads and rest 280 trees will be planted in 0.70 ha. Gram Panchyat land after

getting due permission. Certain Species like Khejri, Ker, Babool, Neem, Mango & other fruit

bearing trees which are more suitable to local soil are proposed to be planted.

iii. Need for the project

and its importance to

the country and or

region.

Marble occurrences are widely distributed in India. However,

occurrences of economic importance are limited to a few states

namely Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, Haryana and Andhra

Pradesh. Makrana marble and green marble have became famous

world over. Rajasthan has the largest rescores of good quality

marble in India. Total recoverable reserves of marble in India are

estimated at 825 million tonnes by IBM, out of which 563 million

tonnes alone are found in Rajasthan. As per the information from

Stona-2000, Rajasthan possesses 11,000 million tonnes of mineable

marble reserves. The following statement shows reserves of various

marble belts/ deposits of Rajasthan.

Rajasthan has a large spectrum of minerals in which building stones

enjoy an important place. Marble occupies a unique position among

building stones due to its pleasant look and easy carving. The term

marble is derived from the Latin world "marmor" which itself

comes from the Greek root "marmarous", meaning thereby a shining

stone.

About 85% country's production is shared by Rajasthan. It has

produced 4278.63 thousand tonnes of marble during 1999-2000

worth for Rs. 42903.15 lacks rupees (Sale value).

From the times immemorial marble has been used to perpetuate the

memory of individual, to immortalise their achievements and to

glorify the deities. A number of temples (Ranakpur and Delwara

Jain temples), mosques (Taj Mahal) and monuments (Victoria

Memorials) etc. have been built in the past under the lavish

patronage of kings and noblemen. For these purpose, marble has

been much preferred because of its easy workability, pleasing

colours, attractive patterns and resistance to failure under abrasive

traffic. The use of marble not only enhances the aesthetic beauty of

a building but also imparts a feeling of dignity to the structure.

Marbles: Rajasthan is the largest producer and resource holder of

marble in India (marmaros in Greek means shining stone). The state

accounts for ~90% of India’s marble production. Marble has

fascinated man for ages and it has been used for innumerable

attractive buildings, temples, monuments, statues, carvings, etc.

Over the centuries, any attractive stone has been indifferently called

marble (sensu lato). Even now any good quality ornamental and

decorative stone is referred to as marble; the world famous

serpentine of Rikhabdev area (south of Udaipur) is unhesitantly

called green marble! Besides marble, sensu stricto, Rajasthan also

has well-liked and admired resources of limestones, granites,

sandstones, slates, etc.

Decorative and dimensional stones from Rajasthan have been used

in construction of numerous landmark buildings – forts, palaces,

temples, mosque, monuments, etc., especially in the national capital

Delhi, Agra, Fatehpur Sikri. Some of the renowned buildings are:

iv. Demand-Supply Gap Rajasthan has been bestowed with huge reserves of marble. So far

there is no problem as such of shortage of supply of marble in the

state. Estimated reserves of the state are 1100 million tones, which

are more than 9% of the total marble reserve in the country. The

present hard times faced by the industry in the state are in fact a

result of imbalance of demand and supply of marble in the market.

Lured by the high profit and margins of the trade, several

entrepreneurs have entered in the industry. With the advent of

modern technology in the past few decades, the production of

Marble has increased like anything. The cost of production has

come down and the speed and quality of production have improved

a lot. Moreover, the reduction in wastage has also resulted in

increased production. All this resulted in supply of huge surplus to

the demand in the market.

It is well known fact that marble now has become a thing of

necessity, rather than a luxury. Marble has now become the

cheapest and best option for the building constructions besides the

other uses. The demand of marble has grown steadily in the past few

decades. Through the supply of marble in market is much more than

the demand. (Production Trends (in Thousand Tons)

iii. Land use planning

(breakup along with

green belt etc).

At the end of life of mine, total excavated area will be 2.70 ha.,

which will be left over for water reservoir which would have a

positive impact by recharging the ground water table.As the

continuity of mineral may be goes in depth beyond the present

reserves limit. Thus at this stage reclamation is not proposed. The

scheme of reclamation will be provided at proper time. Presently

the excavated land is proposed to use as water reservoir, which

would have a positive impact by recharging the ground water table.

Total mining area is 3.0 ha. Landuse planning is given below:

Post Plantation Care:

The post plantation care will be an important aspect to be taken care of for better survival and

growth rate of plantation. The following care will be taken:

Stone fencing will be provided at the plantation site. Fencing will help in preventing cattle

from entering in to such area and will protect unauthorized entry of outside person and from

fire. Due care will be taken to protect plantation as well as guard to be appointed for

supervision.

During dry weather, water will be sprinkled over plantation using pipe line connected to bore

well.

Initially fertilizer will be given to the pits before and after plantation. Thereafter, manuring

will be continued on reduced scale till the plant attains growth of 2 to 3 m height. Provision of

utilizing bio-manure will also be made within the lease area.

Protection from pest like white ant etc will be done during the plantation and in the proposed

pit 10gms of BSC powder will be given before scheme plantation. After a few months liquid

pesticide mixed with 100 time water will be spread near the scheme planted sapling.

Man power will be engaged in mulching the soil frequently along with removal of weeds.

All safeguards for growing trees will be taken care and if any lost would be replaced. The rate

of survival is expected 83%.

ix. Solid Waste

Management Solid Waste:

Top Soil Top soil is observed on surface in thin layer. It is proposed to scrape

the soil and stacked separately which will be used for plantation.

Overburden

The waste will be weathered marble and marble having foreign

intrusions and soil. The generation of waste during first five years

will be as followed:

Year Waste (in tonne)

2014-2015 -

2015-2016 44350

2016-2017 51900

2017-2018 23580

2018-2019 37180

Total 157010

About 1,57,010 tonnes of waste will be generated during next five

years. Waste will be dumped outside the lease area on common

dump sites located in nearby lease area and Some waste will be

lifted by local habitants and rest waste will be dumped within the

ML area, in an earmarked area of 0.06 hectare for 5.0 m height. The

waste dump is proposed to stabilize by retaining wall of rubble

stones. Stone wall is proposed of 1.0 m height and 2.0 m width

towards lower altitude side which will prevent the spreading of

waste. Further, a garland drain is proposed towards lower side of the

dumps to check the wash off from the dumps/ to check the silt

during monsoon. Plantation is also proposed over the matured

dumps for stabilization.

x. Power Requirement

& Supply / Source

Power is required for Jack hammers, Diamond Wire Saw and

illumination in mines office. Apart from this one water pump is

available near mine lease area for mine dewatering in post monsoon.

9. Analysis of proposal (Final Recommendations)

i. Financial and social

benefits with special

emphasis on the

benefit to the local

people including

tribal population, if

any, in the area.

The mining operations will generate employment directly to 32

Personnel (Skilled Labour- 6, Semi- Skilled Labour- 6, Unskilled

Labour- 20) and indirectly to 30-40 personnel. The quality and

living standards of the people and communities in this area will be

enhanced due to the mining operations. No tribal population is

exists near the ML area and in its nearest vicinity.

The proposed project will help in meeting the demand of marble

in the region as well as country.

There will be positive impact of project by getting opportunity

for employment and development of this area.

Better socio economic conditions in the surrounding villages.

Improvement of local and regional economy.

Improvement of standard of living condition of the local people.

Due to frequent failure of the monsoon in the region, area is

facing acute water crisis. There for mining pit will be converted

into a small water reservoir, which shall be a gainful post mining

scenario to the society.

Corporate social responsibility activities will be further strengthened

for the development of nearby villages. Details of which are given
