2.0 INTRODUCTION OF THE PROJECT/BACKGROUND INFORMATION

2.1 Identification of Project and Project Proponent:

The Mining plan with progressive mine closure plan for Quartz & FeldsparMine (M.L.

96/07) near village Piplia, Tehsil - Rajsamand, Distt. - Rajsamand (Raj.) has been prepared

on the consent of the owner of the lease shri parag mutha S/o Shri Hukmi Chand Mutha, R/o-

village Piplia, Tehsil - Rajsamand, Distt. - Rajsamand (Raj.)

The mining lease was granted in favour of shri parag mutha S/o Shri Hukmi Chand Mutha,

R/o- Village Beawar, , Distt. - Rajsamand (Raj.) vide order no Nikha Bhu/Raj-II/CC-I/F-

1(1)/96/2007/574 on dated 14/02/2008.the lease deed was executed on dated 09/05/2008 and

lease deed was registered on dated 30/05/2008 for 30 years.

2.2 Brief Information about the Project

The project has been proposed for mining of 39584.86 MTPA of Quartz & Feldspar by

Open Cast Mining Method. The ML area is 4.6 Hect. Water requirement for the proposed

project for drinking use, dust suppression and other use will be 4.1 KLD, which will be

taken from nearby source.

2.3 Need for the Project and Its Importance to the Country or Region:

The mining project falls in the Rajsamand District of Rajasthan, the area is devoid of industrial

growth. The earning sources of the region are limited. Most of the people are dependent upon

agriculture only. Mineral wealth of the state Rajasthan provides the employment opportunity to the

people of the state as well as region also. Mining is one of the major core sector industries which play

a crucial role in the process of country economic development. The mineral Feldspar use in pottery

manufacture, its main application being as a constituent of both body and glaze in true porcelain etc.

The mineral Quartz is used in glass making, abrasive, foundry sand, haydraulic fracturing prop pant,

gemstones etc. The basic objective of the project is the effective utilization of Material in the country

or region.

2.4 Demands-Supply Gap

There is a large demand of Quartz & Feldspar for glass making, abrasive, foundry sand,

haydraulic fracturing prop pant, gemstones etc.

2.5 Imports vs. Indigenous Production

Development needs will be met only through indigenous produced minerals against the high

cost of imported material.

2.6 Export Possibility


4

There is no proposal to export the minerals. However, mineral produced from the mine will

fulfill the needs of the region and surplus if any, will be considered for export.

2.7 Domestic/ Export Markets

Domestic Market

Mineral excavated will be used for domestic consumption.

Export Market

The proposed mining activity is for indigenous consumption only there is no proposal for

export.

2.8 Employment Generation

The proposed mining activity will provide employment to workers. The workers will be hired

mostly from the nearby villages.

3.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Local Geology –

Quartz & Feldspardeposit of Piplia belongs to the Aravali super group. Marble deposit of the area is

dolomite marble. The deposit is Dip 650 NW and strike- N200E-S200W this is fine grained crystalline off

-white in colour with grayish colour strip. Smoky quartz is present in the marble. Due to weathering the

upper portion of the deposit has been affected and cover of weathered marble rock having cracks (chatka)

and joints. The marble can be used for block mining. Mineral economics point of view this marble is

medium quality.

4.2 Landform, Land use and Land ownership:

Land Use Pattern Near Village Pvt. Land Total Area

Non Utilized Piplia 4.6 Hect. 4.6 Hect.

4.3 Topography

The area falls in G.T. sheet No. 45G/16. The height RL is 560 to 575mRL with respect to

Bench mark 570m & near pillar is C. Area mainly consists of Quartz feldspar.

4.4 Existing land Use Pattern

The retained area is characterized by the typical topography having mid hilly land . The soil

available in the area overlaying on the mineral is not good for farming / cultivation . The land

use pattern is given in the given in the following table.

4.5 Soil Classification

Average 1m Cover has been considered as soil.

4.6 Climate data from Secondary Sources:

The climate of the area is dry with extreme temperature variation i. e. in summer as high as 440

C, whereas in winter it lowers to 60C or even less. Most of the rain falls during the period of July

to September. Maximum and minimum rain fall varies (500mm- 200mm).

4.7 Social Infrastructure available:

1) The ML area is not facilitated with power line.

2) The ground water table is 80-100 m from the surface.

3) The state transport buses and private buses are available up to village Piplia and mine site.

4) The nearest police station applicable is at Rajsamand .

5) Mobile Phone connectivity is available at the ML site.

6) Medical facility is available at Rajsamand .

7) No National Park/sanctuary falls within 10 km of the ML area.

5.0 PLANNING BRIEF

5.1 Planning Concept:

The ML for Quartz & Feldspar will be developed by Open Cast Mining. The mineral is exposed

to the surface therefore open cast mining has been proposed. Drilling will be carried out only of

any big hard rock is encountered.

Water diversion channel shall be made along the periphery of the working pit, so water will not

be accumulated in the pits in quantity. The mineral produced from the pit will be bought at a spot

outside the pit and then loaded into the trucks and dumpers by excavator for onwards

transportation.

5.2Assessment of Infrastructure demand (Physical & Social)

On the basis of the preliminary site visit, the infrastructure demand in the village was assessed on

the basis of need and priority.

The health infrastructure of the study area requires improvement. The lack of medical facilities

needs improvement. Medical facilities will be provided by mine owner during mining.


11

5.8 Amenities/Facilities

7.0 REHABILITATION AND RESETTLEMENT (R&R) PLAN

As no personnel are expected to be migrated due to mining in the ML area and the adjoining

region is also having a good mineral potential, the rehabilitation of the employees is not

going to be a problem. The workers and other staff can get job in the neighboring areas after

the end of life of mine. The lessee shall also try for employment of the workers.

8.0 PROJECT SCHEDULE & COST ESTIMATES

8.1 Likely Date of Start of Construction and Likely Date of Completion

No construction activities are proposed. The mining activity will commence only after

receiving environmental clearance and other statutory clearance.

8.2 Estimated Project Cost along with analysis in Terms of Economic Viability of the

Project

Estimated project cost is Rs. 40 Lac. The lessee has all the mining equipments used for the

scientific mining. The mine is Eco-Friendly. Economically the ore is mineable as compared

to overburden thickness.

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.

Proposed minerals are used for a variety of structural and decorative purposes. The material

is in high demand at the local market for real estate industry.

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

beneficial to the area.
