2.3 Need for the project and its importance to the country
The economy of India is the eleventh largest in the world by nominal GDP and the third
largest by purchasing power parity. The p r imar y reason for the economic growth can be
attributed to the growth in infrastructural facilities such as roads, highways & buildings.
Infrastructural growth is directly proportional to the availability of raw materials such as soil,
stone, sand etc. With the growing infrastructural requirement of the India, the demand of raw
materials has increased geometrically. The stone is required in various construction activities and will
be sold to nearby markets to fulfill the requirement of local people.
2.4 Demand – Supply Gap
The growth in India’s economy and population, coupled with urbanization, has resulted in an
increasing demand for residential, commercial, industrial, public roads & highways as well as
other physical infrastructure. Considering the demand of the mineral and its sufficient availability in
this area, it is essential to have Dolomite mine to sustain the demand and supply gap.
2.5 Imports vs. Indigenous Production
There will be no imports for the proposed project. All the mined stone will be used in developing the
infrastructure.
2.6 Export Possibility
The present project does not seek the export possibility as it is a cheap mineral and the demand is high
in the local area.
2.7 Domestic/Export Markets
Excavated stone will be used for domestic market.
2.8 Employment generation (direct and indirect) due to the project.
The proposed Dolomite mining activity is envisaged to improve the socio-economic condition on a
micro-economic scale by generating local employment of approximately 30 peoples directly and
indirectly.

Mine-able Reserve of the lease area:
During the quarry operation, the total mineable reserve of dolomite is considering 95% due
to presence of intercalated clay and cavities in the deposit.
For calculation of mine-able reserve of dolomite following points have to be considered:
1) During the quarry operation restrictions applicable for Quarry limits, 7.5 mt.
area will be left along the lease boundary is restricted for statutory reason.
2) Dolomite blocked in benches.

3) 5% Quarry losses & considered for calculation.
Dolomite Blocked-
a. Area blocked in the Quarry limits = Area (m2) x Av.Depth (m) x 2.85 (B.D.)
= 7412.86 x 21 x 2.85
= 443659.67 Tones.
= 0.443 Million Tonnes
b. Dolomite blocked in bench slopes considering pit slope to be 600
= Area (m2) x Depth (m) x 0.33 x 2.85
= 14542.08 x 21 x 0.33 x 2.85
= 287213.33 Tonnes
= 0.287 Million Tonnes
c. Area blocked in the non-mineable zone
= Area (m2) x Av.Depth (m) x 2.85 (B.D.)
= 8137.28 x 21 x 2.85
= 487016.20 Tones.
= 0.487 Million Tonnes
Total Dolomite blocked (a + b + c) = 0.443 + 0.287 + 0.487 = 1.217 Million Tonnes
Mineable Reserve = {Geological Resources – Blocked reserve}
= 2.549 – 1.217
= 1.332 Million Tonnes
Final Mineable reserve is 1.332 million tonnes

4.6 Soil classification
The soils of Chhattisgarh vary considerably in the three-agro climatic zones. Though the
nomenclature is different, the types of the soils especially the physical properties are the same. The
different soils that exist in three-agro climatic zone as Chhattisgarh Plains, Jotpur Plateau, Northern
Hills, Bhata (Literati), Marhan coarse sandy, Hill soil, Batas (sandy loam), Tikra (sandy), Tikra,
Dorsa (Clay loam), Mal (sandy loam), Goda Chawar, Kanhar (Clay & Clay loam), Clawer
Bahara.
The regional geology of Dolomite deposit in and around Village Jotpur and Baramkela- Raigarh area
as published by GSI includes the rock formations which have been grouped under Chhattisgarh super
group and forms a part of the NE flanks of Chhattisgarh Basin. The thickness of soil cover & lateritic
is about 3.5 meters. The Chhattisgarh Basin is divided into two suites, namely-:
1. Calco- Magnesian Suite (Dolomite): Occupying Durg, Kumhari, Nandini and Akaltara,
Chhote- Hardi.
2. Magnesio- Calcareous Suite (Dolomite): Occupying Nipania, Hirri, Jairamnagar, Akaltara and
Baradwar, Chhote Hardi.
Chhattisgarh basin has provided an extensive synclinorial base for deposition of such sediments. The
deposit finds its classified position under Raipur state and Sakoli fold belt. The whole series is
characterized by alternating bands of Magnesium Shale and Shaley Dolomite. Dolomite deposit is
suitable in Steel industry as a Flux. The Dolomite deposit is formed due to dolomitisation i.e. by
epigenetic replacement of calcareous sediments.
There are three types of formations in the area:
(a) Alluvial Soil- The Dolomite deposit of projected area is underlain by 2.0 to 5.0 m thick of alluvial
soil and grey to black in color. The average excavation of overburden has been considered
3.5m based on the pit and boreholes excavation.
(b) Dolomite- The Dolomite is available in the entire area below the thick overburden of the alluvial
soil as above. The Dolomite is grey in color. The grain size of the Dolomite is free from medium to
PFR for Jotpur Dolomite Mining Project at Village: Jotpur, Tehsil: Baramkela, District: Raigarh,

Page15
coarse grained. It occurs in massive as well as banded form. The strike of Dolomite is NW- SE and
the dip is about 40
to 50
towards NE.
(c) Shale- The oldest rock unit of the prospected area is the shale underlain by Dolomite. They are
prominently grey to black in color; very fine grained, laminated, and fractured. The fractures are
sometimes filled with calcite veins.
Shale is occurring only in borehole no.4 in Southern portion of the projected area.

4.7 Climate data from secondary sources
The State receives average rainfall ranging from 1200 to 1600 mm with over 94% of the precipitation
taking place during July- October, the peak being spread over two months. The Climate of
Chhattisgarh is mainly tropical, humid and sub- humid. The climate is hot because of its positioning
on the tropic of cancer. May is the hottest month and December- January is the coldest ones. The
State is completely dependent on the monsoons for rains. Chhattisgarh has mainly 3 seasons a year
i.e. Rainy (June- September: SW Monsoon: October- November: NE Monsoon), summer (April-
July) and winter (mid- October- February). The conditions are generally arid to semi-arid.
The climate of this region is extreme, temperature rising as high as 47°c during summers and
dropping as low as 9°c during winters. The average rainfall is around 1200mm. with maximum
precipitation during monsoon months, commencing from mid Jun to mid September.

4.8 Geology
In the area, the dolomite of Chandi formation of Raipur group is present in the form of inliers within
pink stromatolite limestone/shale sequence of the same formation .The exposures are present in the
form of floating mounds of dolomite in laterite soil cover. The dolomite is grey in color (showing
different shades), compact, massive, fine to medium grained and hard. It breaks with sub–conchoidal
fractures.
Some thin stringers of argillaceous material are seen. No quartz or chert bands are seen in samples.
Some cavities are observed in the Bore hole. These cavities are filled with clayey soil.

The typical elephant skin weathering shows on the surface of the dolomite. The dolomite outcrops are
not observed in the lease area.
Geology of the applied area comes under the Baradwar sub basin of Chhattisgarh basin (i.e.
Chhattisgarh super group). This sub basin is situated in the East-Central part of Chhattisgarh
Sedimentary Basin. Chhathisgarh basin consists of sub horizontally disposed sedimentary succession
of mostly Sandstone, Shale, Limestone and dolomite of upper Proterozoic age. The generalized
geological succession of the area is given below

Local Geology :
In the lease area mostly Dolomite of Chandi formation of Raipur group are present. The general strike
of the Dolomite is NE-SW. In most of the Northern central and Southern part of the lease area, grey
Dolomite is present under thick (about 1.2 m) over burden ( average 3.26m) of Lateritic soil. In the
Western part of the lease area shale of Bamandihi formation of Raipur group is present. On the surface
this shale has mostly been altered in to lateritic soil. In Western part the village jotpur contact between
shale (Bamandihi fm.) and Dolomite (Saradih fm.) is scarp and rectilinear suggesting a faulted

contact between them. The sub parallel drainage pattern and rectilinear flow of Mahanadi and its
tributaries also suggest presence of faults and major fractures in the area.
Structurally the area is moderately disturbed. The rocks are sub horizontally disposed. The general
Strike is NE-SW, and the dip is towards NW, The amount of dip ranges from approx. 40 to 5
0. Local
warping in all direction is seen in the Dolomite of the area. The angle of inclination related to these
warping have occurred 120 to 20
0. These local warping has occurred appropriately due to differential
compaction of argillaceous pond in Dolomite due to gravity.
Details already been discussed in approved mining plan.
The details of various litho-units are as follows:
Soil -The area has a thin layer soil, which is brown in color with a average thickness of alluvial
soil 2.12 meters and lateritic soil is 1.14m respectively.
Grey Dolomite - The Dolomite is available in the entire area below the overburden of the soil.
The Dolomite is grey in color. The grain size of the Dolomite is from medium to coarse
grained. It occurs in massive as well as banded form. The strike of Dolomite is NE-SW and the
dip is about 40 to 5
0 towards SE. This formation is criss crossed with varying thickness of
Quartz veins cutting across the dolomite formation.
Dolomite Deposit of the Jotpur : The Dolomite of the area belongs to the Raigarh formation
in Raigarh group of Chhattisgarh super group. The predominant litho unit of charmuria and
gunderdehi formation is dolomite shale and some chery bands are mstly observed in the area.
The dolomite is occurred around village bosanpali, tarda , narayakpara , turang, ordekera,
Machida, nawapalli, sarangarh, chikhapali, dipapara, semalia, lara, saraipali, jotpur, katingpali
etc . The dolomite is mostly light grey in colors. It is medium grained hard compact &
massive in nature. The bedding plans are poorly developed. These sets of vertical joints &
sub horizontal bedding planes help in quarry operaations. The dolomite breaks easily during
the blasting along these weak planes. Many old working dolomite mines are present in the
surrounding areas.

9. ANALYSIS OF PROPOSAL (FINAL RECOMMENDATIONS)
9.1 Financial and social benefits with special emphasis on the benefit to the local people
including tribal population, if any, in the area
The project will bring economical benefits to the state by the way of royalty for mineral and
people by the way of direct (30 laborers) and secondary employment (5 persons for transport)
opportunities. The mine management will be helping nearby villages by providing aid to school,
conducting medical and social awareness camps, helping in formation of self help groups etc
especially keeping in the view the tribal and economically backward population in the area as part
of its corporate social responsibility. Thus the project will bring out socio-economic improvement of
the area and will prove beneficial to the area.
