1. Executive Summary (About mining lease) Letter of intent for grant of M.L was issued vide letter no. 1979/VII-1/39/Soapstone/2016

dated 30/12/2016 over an area of 11.183hect. in village Pranmati, Tehsil- Ghat, Dist. -

Chamoli for 50 years.

The area was surveyed by geologist in-charge, on 31/08/2016 and occurrence of

soapstone mineral was observed in the area and therefore area was considered suitable for

mining. And samples were drawn and quality was found suitable.

The area was jointly surveyed by forest dept. 30/06/2016 & observed that a) there is no

standing tree in the area. b) Van Panchayat is at a distance of 100m, civil forest is at a

distance of 150m c) reserve forest is at a distance of 200m d) national park and sanctuary

is a distance of 10km. e) the area is connected by mule track of 6km passing through

reserve forest and as per LOI if this mule track is used for mining purpose the suitable

forest cess will be payable.

After LOI of lease area boundary demarcation has been done on 24/02/2017 by Revenue

dept., Surveyor & forest ranger and mining officer and the lease area is reduced to

11.183hect.

Revenue inspector Ghat has submitted Khasra Khatoni Report comprising of Jotdar land

11.183 hect in village Pranmati, Tehsil- Ghat Dist. - Chamoli.

NOC has been obtained for Jotdar land will also be used after obtaining necessary

permission.

However mining will be done over the land shown on Khasra plan and for which NOC

has been obtained from land owners and has also been authenticated by Patwari and is

separately submitted.

In the area as per new policy mining lease is granted without grant of PL and therefore to

ensure continuity of mineral in the area and feasibility s udy by two auger drill

holes of 6m depth have been drilled and soapstone mineral is encountered. Outcrops have

also been observed in the applied area. On the basis of auger drill hole as well as outcrops

of mineral soapstone. The recovery of soapstone mineral is about 60%. Therefore for

estimation of mineral reserves 6m depth is considered in proved category. And further

exploration is proposed in the area to prove mineral upto 15m depth by drill holes and

trial pits to observe quality of soapstone occurring in the area.

2

Mineral reserve on UNFC method has been estimated up-to 6m depth 302619mt

Soapstone mineral in minable category 111 & 121 & 221 & 222 proved & probable

category upto depth of 9m 420304mt and additional 8406mt will be mined 12m depth

and life of the mine will be 50 years.

However during 5 years period mining is proposed up-to 6m depth but after detailed

exploration mining in depth will be done so that if backfilling is done the pits are not

required to be vacated.

PAN certificate, Annexure- VII A list of directors at VIIB, and address proof of Directors

at VIID (1-3) and special power of attorney has been granted in favour of Mr. Mahendra

Kumar Sharma.

Mining Plan is approved by Director Geology & Mining.

Application for EC is made to State Environment Authority Dehradun.

Mining in this area is technologically possible upto a depth of 12m by mechanization

using Backhoe excavator and varying bench parameters considering safety norms and

obtaining permission from mines safety dept., safety is not a problem because

Simultaneous backfilling is also proposed before rainy season which will take care of

land slides.

Mining technology is well established in this area and nearby mines in 10 km area,

scientifically being worked which is evident since IBM and Dept. of mines safety has

awarded several awards to nearby mines.

Stacking of waste, soil after constructing toe retaining walls and water drainage system

and check dams proposed Grass plantation over the waste dumps will provide stability of

dumps and backfilled areas Garland drains, check dams etc. will provide silt controls and

will prevent silts entering to nallah and rivers.

In this area only rainfed Gaderas are available and safety distances and retaining walls are

also proposed near pits, dumps and back filled areas.

There is no river, nalla and other important water bodies near the ML area.

Mineral soapstone and over burden, inter burden are nontoxic and soft and no drilling and

blasting is proposed.

Mining is restricted upto 12m depth and ground water table is 30 to 40m below the

surface based on hydro geological study done in this area since tube wells sunk are the

3

major source of water supply in this area and are 30 to 40 m below the lower most ground

level.

Flora and Fauna is not disturbed though in 10 km Area, there are several Reserve forest,

protected forest and Van Panchayat. Core zone is cultivated private and Govt. land and

state govt. has permitted mining and no Flora & Fauna is disturbed since adequate

measures are proposed. Lease will also take care of Flora & Fauna likely to be disturbed

due to mining.

There is no wild life sanctuary, ecological restricted area, reserved area within 10 km.

and letter of intent has been issued after obtaining NOC from forest dept.

Mining is allowed in cultivated land after obtaining NOC from land owners and Jotdars

and adequate compensation is paid to them. Employment is provided to them and they

continue crops during rains because before rains, farms, fields are prepared after

backfilling and spreading soil.

Workers are either local or Nepali depending on availability. The local workers will also

work as contractors for production, supervisors, Operators of machineries. Transportation

of mineral by mules or truck.

No construction activity is proposed in mining area. Existing facilities in villages will be

used for offices, workshop and residential areas. Management will assist in villages for

construction of toilets, maintaining cleanliness in villages. Financial assistance for

construction of water tanks, pipelines, medical and educational aids.

Plantation is proposed in van Panchayat land. Van Panchayat provides fuel wood to

locals.

In the ML area temporary rest shelters, toilets with septic tank, drinking water shed and

tool store is proposed. Domestic waste collection facilities will also be provided. Mules

Waste will be collected in pits and will be converted to fertilizer.

To safe guard against Air pollution water sprinkling is proposed over pits, dumps, back

filled areas and Mule tracks. Machineries will be properly maintained. Mineral will be

transported packed in bags and trucks covered by tarpaulins.

To safeguard against Noise pollution machineries will be properly maintained. Mining

work will be done as per mines Act and rules. Protective equipments will be provided.

4

Fencing will be done all along mining pits. VT training will be provided to all. Trained

supervisors and operators will be provided. Pit safety committee will be maintained.

For all Hazards, disaster an emergency organization will be provided and mock drills will

be conducted from time to time.

Medical examinations of workers will be conducted as per norms.

Mining work will be conducted in day light and during dry season except rains.

Half yearly monitoring for Environmental parameters Air, noise, water quality, soil

parameters will be done.

Compliances of all laws will be done.

Financial budget for environmental control measures, CSR, medical examination of

workers, plantation, Cleanliness and maintaining hygienic conditions will be provided.

A grievance committee will be made to review half yearly grievances of workers; local

population, Panchayat etc. and grievances will be resolved.

Conclusion- scientific mining proposed will provide all round improvement in the area;

improve Quality of life, employment, revenue generation for state Govt., Central Govt.

and local Panchayat and industrial growth.

During five year total production proposed is 72500 tonnes but the production is dictated by requirement

of mineral in the market and it is expected that average production during five year block period will be

about 60000 tonnes therefore the life of the mine will be 40 years however depending on market

requirement there will be fluctuation in production and therefore life of the mine 50 year is sufficient.

The year-wise excavation schedule along with backfilling has been shown on plate no. VI.

v) Project description with process details (a schematic diagram / flow chart showing the

project layout, components of the project etc. should be given).

Specifications of Machineries proposed To Be Used:

For excavation JCB excavator is used for transfer of mineral to road point mules will be used. For

transportation of mineral to Dehradun/Haldwani maximum 8nos 15tonne capacity dumpers per day will

be required for dispatch of mineral proposed to be produced for this plan period.

Bench parameters

1. Height of bench 3m. 2. Width of bench 3m 3. Slope of bench 700 4. Over all pit slope 450

Acquisition of land

For the purpose of mining before grant of lease NOC has been obtained from the land owners

12

therefore it is considered pre feasible.

For the purpose of mining plan for five year land is acquired by fixing proper compensation

therefore the land for five year mining is considered feasible

Mining method –

Mechanized opencast mining without drilling & blasting.

Benches up to 3.0 meter high and 3.0 m wide benches.

The slope of the benches will be kept at 70° inclination.

Overall pit slope 45 degree.

Agreement of land for 5 yr period –

We have obtained NOC from the land owners for carrying out mining in this area.

Proposed method of Mining:

The mine is proposed to be worked by opencast mechanized method using JCB excavator on contract.

The mineral soapstone occurs intermix with dolomitic rocks the analysis report shows that the OB is

calcitic and high silica with low MgO and therefore is not marketable. The over lying soil of 0.2-0.3m

thickness will be removed separately by excavator and will be kept separately by making a toe wall at the

bottom of soil dump. However, before rainy season soil will be spread over the backfilled area/dumps.

The soapstone mineral will be separated by manual labour from interburden waste and interburden waste

will be kept initially near the mining pits where backfilling space is not available however later on it will

be backfilled in the mining pits after extracting total mineral from the pits/before rainy season. And for

further continuing mining the inter burden waste will be re-handled and stacked by making toe wall at the

bottom where the height of inter burden dump is more terraces will be made, the height and width of the

dumps and its terraces will be kept 5-6m. Over the dumps grass will be planted. The mined out pits will

be backfilled by the inter burden waste and where essential terracing will be also done and also grass

plantation will be done.

The soil and inter burden waste will be removed by excavator, mineral soapstone will be manually sorted,

grading will be done by using chisel and picks & sorted mineral will be packed in bags and will be

transported on mule head to road point and from road head mineral is transported by trucks to Haldwani.

13

The mining benches will be formed along the contours, the height of the benches will be kept of 3m and

width more than 4m initially to facilitate separation of soapstone and remove the mineral and interburden

and soil by mules. The mule track of 3-4m width with a gradient of 1 in 3 to 1 in 4 will be made. The

mineral will be transported by mules to the road point. So that the mineral can be loaded on to the trucks

for further transportation to Haldwani. All the benches will be connected by mule track, so that mule can

reach to the working faces the slope of the benches will be kept 700 but for exploitation of mineral

benches will be steepened and width will be reduced and average slope of the faces will be kept 65 – 700.

The portion of the mining pits, which will reach to the economical depth, as per the contract with the

cultivators the back filling done, and the land will be handed over to the cultivators, However the land if

further will be required for stacking of soil / inter burden will be taken from cultivators for a particular

period for temporary storage of soil and inter burden and which will be re-handled and land will be

handed over back to the cultivators. The mining will be done from lower level to upper level/upper level

to lower level depending on the availability of space. The soapstone after sorting and sizing will be filled

into 40-50kg plastic bags, which will be transported by labours up to aerial ropeway point or on mule

head to the road point.

Excavator on contract will be used for re-handling of waste & also proper stacking & backfilling of

waste. The permission for mechanization under regulation 106 2(b) will be obtained from Directorate of

Mines Safety.

Salient features of Mining method

The salient features of mining method proposed

1. The mining method is opencast mechanized method.

2. The benches parameters will be maintained as discussed above.

3. The waste will be dumped with in the mining lease, temporary in external dump and will

be backfilled before rains and simultaneously according to availability of land.

4. Construction of mule tracks, connecting PWD road with mining pits, dumps, etc.

5. Sorting & sizing will be carried out manually at the pit head. Different grade of soapstone

and will be made, packed in bags and shifted to nearby loading head and loaded on to the

14

dumpers by manually.

vi) Raw material required along with estimated quantity, likely source, marketing area of

final product/s, mode of transport of raw material and finished product.

This is a mining project intended for the production of soapstone mineral and therefore no raw

material will be required. This is a project which will produce important raw material soapstone,

which is used in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, detergents, paper industries, textiles, ceramics and

others. Since it is extensively used in almost every industry, it has a natural demand for fulfilling

it as a raw material to various manufacturing units. It is a high grade soapstone area and is very

important for the country.

vii) Resource optimization/recycling and reuse envisaged in the project, if any, should be

briefly outlined.

GEOLOGY AND RESERVES:

Physiography

Topography: - The Highest RL (2575m) in the Lease area is near Pillar 21 in the southern block and the

lowest RL (2510m) is near pillar 1 in north-east corner. The southern block is sloping towards SE from

2575m RL (Pillar 21) to 2510m near pillar 16. A few hutments are occurring near pillar 20 in south block

which will be vacated. (NOC has been obtained from the land owners). A part of the village Pranmati

with Pucca building lies within the lease area near boundary line 27 to 29. A safety zone will be left

during mining. The northern block from the boundary of the village Pranmati is sloping Towards NE

from RL 2470m to 2360m (near pillar-1).

Drainage pattern: - The two prominent seasonal Gadheras passes from south to north both on east side

& west side of the ML area about 500 m distance from the lease boundary which finally meets Nandakini

River at a distance about 3 Km from the lease area. The area is drained by second and third order streams

which control flow of Nandakini River flowing in north side of the lease area from east to west. The

seasonal water flows from upper reaches down the slope and has curbed courses through erosion process

15

over long geological period.

Vegetation: - There is scanty vegetation in the area. The area is cultivated land devoid of trees. The trees

are generally present in surrounding Van panchyat Land. Small trees of the Banj, Cheer, Kafal, Toon,

Uttis, are in Van Panchyat Land. Shrubs-Ghingaru with a few Jhitlu, Kilmora and hisalu occurs in

depression. Jotdars are carrying out farming on terraces. Grasses are Kumariya, Dub, and Bhawaria.

Climate: - The area falls in temperate zones with pleasant summer and extremely cold in winter. The area

receives moderate snow falls during winter from December to February. Max. temp seldom crosses 260c.

During month of June while min. temp was 20c During winter.

Relative humidity- It rises from June to February, highest in January and decreases during April and

May. Relative humidity 16% to 85%.

b) Brief descriptions of Regional Geology with reference to location of lease/applied area.

4.1.5 Geology:

Surface geological plan and section at 100m interval on the scale of 1:1000 showing local lithology,

Structures features, mineralized zone and cross sections from boundary to boundary has been

shown plate no. IV with contour interval of 10mts

i) Regional Geology:

The soapstone pockets/lenses occur within carbonates of Gangolihat Dolomite sequence. The local

stratigraphic shows that the mineralized zone lies between upper and lower carbonates, as discussed

below:-

Upper Carbonates : Magnesite, Sporadic dolomite.

Middle Talcose Phyllites : Soapstone in Pockets, Lenses & veins.

Lower carbonates : Dolomite / Dolomitic intercalation

Local Geology:

i) Showing disposition of all lithological units with clear nomenclature and their descriptions is discussed

below and shown on the geological plan:-

ii) Contacts of lithounits/ rock types as outcrops or inferred.

Alluvium cover:

Entire area is cultivated land and therefore layer of brownish cover of soil exists in the whole area. The

thickness of the soil varies from 0.2 to 0.3m.

Soap stone intermixed with Dolomitic:

Based on the exploration carried out and out crops of Soapstone mineralization is in pockets / lenses were

observed in the area during exploratory work. Further two drill holes were drilled show the

mineralization in Dolomitic rock. The entire area is a cultivated land and therefore the top soil is covering

the entire area. Below the soil cover mineral talc intermixed with dolomite host rock is occurring and

accordingly on the geological section the mineralized zone intermixed with dolomite. It is observed that

the mineral talc occurs in pockets, veins and lenses within magnesitic rocks.

The soapstone occurred as pocket type massive and sometime confined to the upper part of the

magnesium and dolomitic zones.

Attitudes like strike and dip available in adequate numbers:

The mineral soapstone occurs along the hill slope, the general strike of the mineralization is 160o to 340o

and dip is direction is 60o towards WCB 250.

iv) Structural features like joints faults, etc shown:-

Structurally the soapstone of this area in Chamoli is one limb of synclinal fold which further extends upto

Amjhahu while the other limb of the fold lies towards Bijepur & Garmua Sirmoli.

v) Delineation of mineralized zone with definite demarcation as observed /inferred during prospecting.

17

Control of mineralization:

a- Physiographic control:

The soapstone mineralized zone is along the topography of the area and the mineral bands and veins are

dipping into the hills. The soapstone is soft mineral and occurs always along the valleys in terraced

agricultural fields, while in the steep slopes and ridges either magnetite outcrop occurs.

b- Mode of origin :

The presence of soapstone within the carbonate sequence suggests that the soapstone mineralization in

the area and surrounding is confined to carbonate horizons. The deposits of soapstone which are derived

from ultra-mafic rocks are more abundant in dolomite. Soapstone is alteration product of magnesium

bearing minerals and good grade of soapstone is found associated with dolomite. The soapstone pockets

in dolomite indicate a replacement origin with in soapstone bodies.

4.1.6) Name of prospecting /exploration agency:-

Available information collected from land owners and drill holes and outcrops.

Prospecting Report:-

In the area as per new policy mining lease is granted without grant of PL and therefore to ensure

continuity of mineral in the area and feasibility study two DTH drill holes of 6m depth have been drilled

and soapstone mineral is observed in the drill cutting. Outcrops have also been observed in the applied

area. On the basis of drill hole as well as occurrence of mineral as out crops. The recovery of soapstone

mineral is about 60% (based on drill holes and out crops). Therefore for estimation of mineral reserves

6m depth is considered in proved category. And further exploration is proposed in the area to prove

mineral upto 15m depth by drill holes and trial pits to observe quality of soapstone occurring in the area.

Details of samples analysis indicating type of sample (surface/sub-surface from Sample Analysis of

Soapstone as per exploration and mining report:-

Consideration of Availability of Mineral reserves

1. In the mineable area mining will be done by forming benches as per MMR 1961 for the purpose of

safety. Here 3m high 3m wide benches with 70o Slope and ultimate pits slope of 45o is considered and

as a result the mineral will be blocked.

22

2. In this area before rains the pit is required to be back filled and after rains it is vacated therefore part of

the mineral will be blocked.

The Basis of Feasibility

The mine will be mechanized using dumper and JCB excavator without drilling and blasting.

Activity chart is given below:-

Sr. no. Activities Manual / M/c

2 Excavation o/B and stacking Manual/JCB/Dumper

3 Drilling and blasting Nil

4 Excavation of minerals JCB

5 Sorting of mineral and bagging Manual

6 Handing of mineral to loading point Manual/mules

7 Loading of mineral and transportation Dumper/Truck

Bench parameters

1. Height of bench 3m. 2. Width of bench 3m

3. Slope of bench 700 4. Over all pit slope 450

The permission from Director of Mines safety for above bench parameter will be obtained. The mining

upto 6m depth is not at all a problem. For mining upto 12m bench parameter can be increased along with

mechanization standard.

Acquisition of land

For the purpose of mining before grant of lease NOC has been obtained from the land owners therefore it

is considered pre feasible.

For the purpose of mining plan for five year land is acquired by fixing proper compensation therefore the

land for five year mining is considered feasible.

Environmental Issues

(a) The mineralization is along hill slope.

23

(b) The vegetation in the area is scanty and no tree is likely to be felled.

(c) After mining Backfilling will be done in the pits and during rains pit will be back filled and after

rains it will be vacated so that during rains cultivations continue.

(d) Garland drainages will be constructed surrounding the pits, dumps and no drainage will be

disturbed.

(e) Siltation tank will be constructed before the water leaves the area ultimately falling in to the river

Pindar.

(f) Mining is proposed above the water table and no dewatering is proposed during life of mine.

(g) The use of water will be for drinking purpose, plantation & water sprinkling & it will be limited,

however during rains rain water harvesting is possible due to construction of check Dams etc.

(h) There will be no blasting as such there will be no ground vibration.

(i) The possibilities of landslides during rains will not be there because of backfilling, and good

garland drains proposed.

(j) Necessary infrastructure will be provided at nearby villages.

(k) The part of village pranmati is within ML area will not be shifted and safety zone of 100m is

proposed.

(l) Part of Kachha houses will be shifted & the house for house will be provided.

(m) Impact due to air pollution; noise etc. will be minimum because adequate precautions will be taken.

(n) Employment of local persons and CSR activities will Improve Quality of life.

Compliance of laws-

All safety and environmental laws will be complied with.

All necessary permissions will be obtained.

As a results of all above consideration mineral reserve are considered feasible.

Marketing aspects-

Soapstone mineral of this mine has got good market and as such there is no problem.

Economic Study-

24

The capital cost of deposit will be about 20 Lac and machinery will be taken on contract.

The sale price of the mineral will vary from Rs. 2000/- to 3000/- per tonne at pit mouth.

The operating cost, environment control cost, CSR cost, Government rent, royalty and other cost will be

covered in the operating cost.

In this area land acquisition cost is very high and therefore the pit mouth value will be dictated by land

acquisition cost.

We anticipate Rs. 100/- to 200/- per ton after covering all the expenses.

For meeting the requirement of water in the mine for drinking purposes, suppression of dust on

haul roads, and for afforestation about 4 KLD of water will be required which will be brought

from the existing natural stream which is near the ML area or from the pipeline of the Jal Nigam.

The mining operations will be done in the day time for one shift per day and hence, practically

no power will be required at mine site

We propose to use diesel 100 litres per day

DISPOSAL OF WASTE AND PRESERVATION OF TOP SOIL

a) Nature and quantity of top soil overburden / waste to be disposed off.

Nature of soil –

The rock types occurring in the area are basic rocks, dolomite and soapstone. The soil cover is

decomposed basic rocks. In the high attitudes it is very thin because of rocky area but with the rains soil

has been brought down by erosion and has settled on slopes, valleys and depressions in low lying areas.

The soil cover in low-lying areas enables the local in habitants for agriculture. Thickness of the soil

varies from 0.2 to 0.5m at places.

Quality of soil-

The soil samples were collected at 2 locations and average sample has been made and analysis report is

given below. The interburden waste has also been analyzed for agriculture point of view and report is

given below:

Land chosen for disposal of waste with proposed justification

Mining is proposed in one pit during five year period and initially topsoil and waste will be stacked in the

external dumps in Block-A. In second year backfilling will be started in the block-A in Pit no.-1. From

second year onward backfilling will be done. In the fifth year already dump & external dumps will be

vacated. The dumping area is mineralized since non-mineralized area is not available. During rains if the

minerals are not completely excavated the OB and soil will be re-handled and kept by the side of the pits

and after mineral is completely excavated it will be backfilled.

At all the times it is necessary that topsoil will not be allowed to mix with waste rock. Separate stacking

and also when re-handling will be done, it will also be done separately so that precious topsoil is not

wasted and properly conserved and utilized at all the stages of stacking and backfilling.

Since the land chosen for disposal of waste is mineralized land and also cultivated land therefore, the land

will be ultimately vacated and utilized for mineral excavation and also for cultivation.

Stacking of top soil & inter burden in back filling:

During 5 year period Topsoil and overburden waste will be stacked in external dumps initially and later

on backfilled in the Mining Pits. It is shown in the 5 year plan (Plate No. VIII and V)

The manner in which stacking of top soil, inter burden is proposed has been shown in five year plan.

Stacking of Top soil:

The top soil will be simultaneously utilized on the back filled area before the cultivated land will be

handed over to the cultivators before rains. (Plate No. V)

Stacking of Inter-burden waste:

The waste rock will be back filled in the mined out area after the mineral is excavated to the extent

possible and before handing over the land to the cultivators for cultivation.

The waste rock generated will be removed from mining faces to the stacking site by khachhars or on

head load and will be stacked at the places shown in 5 year plan.

The waste rock will be stacked from bottom to the top year wise as shown in the plan of stacking of

waste rock after constructing retaining wall at the toe.

30

The average slope of the stack will be less than 300 and however it will be terraced.

At the bottom of the stack toe retaining wall will be constructed as shown in the plan.

The garland drains will be provided for diverting the water so that the waste rock is not removed

during the rains

c) Attach a note indicating the manner of disposal and configuration, sequence of buildup of dumps

along-with the proposals for the stacking of sub-grade ore, to be indicated year-wise.

Method of Dumping and Maximum Height and Spread of Dump: (Refer Plate No. VIII and V)

The maximum height of the dumps will be kept 5m and if it exceeds it will be terraced.

Plantation for Next 5 year at outside the ML area –

40

The plantation cannot be done in the mining lease area since the entire area is cultivated land and local

population / land owners depends on cultivation, therefore they will not allow any plantation on their

land.

However we propose to undertake plantation programme outside the ML area which will be done in

consultation with local Panchayat on van Panchayat land Pranmati after obtaining permission of van

Panchayat, which in principle consent has been taken but on yearly basis consent will be taken. The cost

of plantation will be borne by us and total plantation will be done under the supervision of forest and

Panchayat people. During rains the mining land will be back filled and cultivation will be done on

terraces of the mining pit as well as on waste dumps by the local farmers. This will reduce the land

erosion and also will be a source of income to the po pulation when there is no mining.

In this area mining is possible only in 200 days in a year and therefore for the balance period of the year

the land is available for cultivation. The top soil will also be used for preparation of land for cultivation.

The plantation programme for which financial support will be given by us is given below:

20m by drilling will be done so as to ensure that the mineral soapstone is available 6m below proved

category, up to which mining is considered feasible in this area.

Proposed mining during life of mine –

For scientific mining it is essential that mining shall be done from top to bottom in advancing manner

and backfilling shall continue in the advancing manner and land is finally reclaimed and handed over

back to the land owner for cultivation. Minimizing handling & re-handling of overburden and complying

with the state Govt. directives and safety and environmental norms with minimum damage on long terms

to the area.

In this area the mining is considered up to 12 m depth at this stage. Based on occurrence of mineral,

During five year total production proposed is 72500tonnes but the production is dictated by requirement

of mineral in the market and it is expected that average production during five year block period will be

about 60000 tonnes therefore the life of the mine will be 40years however depending on market

requirement there will be fluctuation in production and therefore life of the mine 50 year is sufficient.

Note: During the operation of the mines external mule tracks will be extended, but as soon as the mining

in that part will cease the area will be back filled and handed over to the cultivators so during life of the

mining ultimate land use in that activity will be nil.

The mule track, foot track existing as on date will continue will not be disturbed. However the mule track

constructed during mining will be maintained if the cultivators wish and want to continue the same.

The infrastructures required to operate the mine will be maintained by hiring the accommodation and

contractors available in the area.

Reclamation-

Mining will be done from 2575-2449 mRL in only four block from the surface according to availability

of Mineral in the entire mineable area since simultaneous back filling will be done, terraces will be

formed and land will be handed over to the cultivators after developing the land suitable for the

cultivation, therefore no pit will be formed at the end of mining or during the mining, ultimately size of

the pit will not change only topography of the area will change.

Ultimately the final terraces will be 1 to 2m below the surface topography the cultivation will continue

over the mined out land after excavation of mineral.

The technology to be adopted for mining:

As far as possible the mining should be done along the contours from top to bottom of the selected pits depending on availability of space ensuring safety to start early backfilling.

The efforts are to be made for acquiring the land in continuous patches so that optimum minerals can be recovered and the pits can be developed up to maximum depth on regular basis.

Mining and backfilling will be continued simultaneously in advancing manner. Before the onset of monsoon the pits will be backfilled and handed over to the Cultivator for cultivation

during the rains. Pits will be developed in such a fashion that at the time of monsoon the mining benches will act as

terraces for cultivation in the land and the Owners of the land will be able to take one crop from the mining land.

During future mining in the initial years apart from mining pits, the land for external dumping will be temporarily stabilized and utilized for grass cultivation suitable for fodder of the area or for paddy crops, as the case may be, during rains and once the use of land ceases and the space in the mining pit is available for backfilling the external dumps will be vacated.

The backfilling will be started at the time possible minerals from the areas acquired are completely excavated. The backfilling will be done in a retreating manner from lower level to upper level.

However, when mining will be done in adjacent block safety pillars will be left between the two mining pits so that in no case there is damage to the stabilized cultivated field handed over to the Cultivator.

In many cases when the entire minerals from the pit cannot be excavated before the monsoon and it is

45

forced to backfill the pit, re -handling of over-burden will be done before starting the mining after the rains.

When the land cannot be procured at a stretch then the separate pits are to be developed and backfilled and to be handed over to the Cultivator as per the agreement. However this will be minimized to reduce the blockage of mineral wealth beneath the back filled area.

Environment Protection

Mining & Reclamation scheduling-

Mining from higher level to lower level forming terraces along contours. Dumping of Waste & Soil in terraces along contours in external dumps and vacating the external

dump depending on availability of space in the mining pit during rains as far as possible and grass plantation during rains for stabilization of dumps and cultivation in mining pit.

During rains temporary backfilling of pits and vacating the same after rains as per State Government directives (only from pit).

Backfilling the mined out pit from lower level to higher level in terraces. Vacating the external dumps when the space will be available. The pits in the agriculture land after final backfilling of waste & spreading over of topsoil and

stabilization by grass plantation will be handed over to land owner for final cultivation.

During rains cultivation/ grass plantation will continue on the entire mining pits and dumps and back

filled areas, therefore there is no loss of cultivation production from the land during the year.

Afforestation programme-

Since the applied area is agricultural land and individual land owners will not allow plantation in their

respective fields therefore plantation will be done in van Panchayat land after discussion with local

Panchayat from time to time for which consent has been taken initially. During life of the mine total

plantation proposed will be over 1.25 ha Van Panchayat lands.

Note: Afforestation During life of the mine in van Panchayat land of village Pranmati for which in
