4. Demand Supply gap

India is endowed with significant mineral resources. India produces 89 minerals
out of which 4 are fuel minerals, 11 metallic, 52 non-metallic and 22 minor
minerals.
The total value of mineral production was Rs. 568070 million in 2000-2001, of
which the value of minerals other than petroleum and natural gas was Rs.
306751 million. The metallic production is accounted for by Iron-ore, Copper-
ore, Chromites and/or Zinc concentrates, Gold, Manganese ore, Bauxite and Lead
concentrates. Amongst the non-metallic minerals, more than 90 percent of the
aggregate value is shared by Limestone, Magnesite, Dolomite, Barytes, Kaolin,
Gypsum, Apatite & Phosphorite, Steatite and Fluorite.
The aggregate mineral production in 1999- 2000 was about 550 million tonnes,
contributed by over 3,100 mines (reporting mines) producing coal, lignite,
limestone, iron ore, bauxite, copper, lead, zinc etc. The aggregate value of the
mineral production in 1999-2000 was more than Rs. 452.3 billion. The value of
mineral production during 1999-2000 was estimated at Rs.452.3 billion to
which contribution from public sector was Rs.378.4 billion (84%). In the total
value of mineral production, fuel minerals accounted for Rs.372.3 billion (82%),
metallic minerals at Rs.34.2 billion (8%) nonmetallic minerals Rs.18.3 billion
(4%) and minor minerals Rs.27.6 billion (6%). The share of the mineral sector in
the gross domestic product (GDP) of the country is around 3.5 per cent while
accounting for 10 per cent share in the index of industrial production. Though 80
% of the mines are in the private sector, yet 91% of the production in terms of
size comes from the government owned mining ventures. Mining employs over
8,00,000 persons.

Around 9,244 mining leases are spread over 21 States occupying about 0.7
million hectares which is 0.21% of the total geographic area of the country. More
than 80 percent of the mineral production comes from open cast mines and
therefore, one must add the quantity of overburden to that of the mineral
production in order to assess the total amount of annual excavation in India s
mining sector.

India is the world s largest producer of mica blocks and mica splittings. With the
recent spurt in world demand for chromite. India has stepped up its production
to rech the second rank among the chromite producers of the world.

Besides, India ranks, 3rd in production of coal & lignite, 2nd in barites, 4th in iron
ore, 5th in bauxite and crude steel, 7th in manganese ore and 8th in aluminium.

3. Details of alternate site: Mining is site specific project. And Mineral deposit has
been identified by certifying agency; hence alternative site is not applicable.
4. Size or magnitude of operation: The total lease area is 13.25ha area and total
production is proposed 200212TPA through opencast method other than fully
mechanized mining method.
5. Project description with process details:
Earlier the mining operation was carried out by manual opencast mining
method. It is proposed to carried out mining operation by Other than fully
mechanized (OTFM) method of mining. The height of working bench will be
proposed 6m with 12m spacing for safety and transportation. The slope of
working face will be not more than 60o . Adequate slope and water sump will be
at gradually developed towards south east of the working pit. As there is no
overburden hence no overburden bench will be proposed for 2009-2014. During
the 2009 to 2010 only one working bench will be developed. Medium level
intensity blasting proposed to be carried out for production of limestone. Large
size of limestone boulders manually sized in to 4 to 6 inches or as per the
demand. During the mining some quantity of soil generated from intercalated
pocket as normally found in limestone. A very small quantity of weathered
limestone waste will be generated during mining. Under size mineral reject will
be of 10% of the production and generated during blasting, mining and sizing of
limestone. Drilling will be done with the help of compressed air compressor and
jack hammers and helco etc. excavation and loading will be done with the help of
excavator and J.C.B and the transporting will be done by 20tonnes tipper. The
proposed year wise generation top soil and waste for the next five year is
estimated as follows:

Anticipated life of mine will be:-

Updated balance reserve of Limestone reserve at Mopar Limestone mine stands
at 5159355 T.
First five year production is about 852672T
Thus Balance reserve = 5159355-852672 = 4306683T
Therefore 4306683/200212=21.53year
Thus total life of mine is 21.53+5= 26.53year say 27 years
Blasting
The blasting will be done with the help of 100mm crawler mounted heloc and
jack hammer (34mm) by compressed air. The blast hole will be drilled by using
Burn cut or Coromant cut pattern of drilling. Small 34mm hole will be charged

7
Project Feasibility Report for Mopar Limestone Mine (13.25ha)

with 250gms each and 100mm holes will be charged 0.75 to 2.5km per holes.
About 45 tonnes of explosives will be required per year. The blasting will be
done on contract basis, therefore no need to install magazine at mine site.
Reclamation/Backfilling: - no backfilling will be done during mining scheme
period.
6 Raw Material Requirement: No raw material is required for the mining of lime
stone
7 Recycling and Reuse
Sub grade lime stone shall be stacked and will be sold off to retail end users
instead of creating as dumps. To soil shall be utilized for afforestation and
mining overburden shall be used for backfilling/ maintenance of roads.
8 Water source: One water Chanel-11 passing throughout lease area. No
excavation will be done 50m both side of the water distrybutary-11. No water is
required for the mining process. Water will be made available from mine pit
which is accumulated during the rainy season and shall be collected in settling
tank for utilization in green belt and dust suppression. & nearest village Sarkipar
through handpumps. It is expected that 12.0 KL water will be required for
drinking, dust suppression and green belt development activity.
Electric System
The power requirement for the project has been met by CG State Electricity
Board, which is available at near village
9 Solid waste management: Most of the limestone formation is already exposed.
Soil cover is only few centimeters and seen in very small portion falling under
the mining limit, rest other part is completely uncovered. The generated quantity
of soil and intercalated waste mineral rejects can be called as waste. During the
first five year 1215cum soil & 44878tonnes mineral reject will be generated. Top
soil sprayed over the lease boundary for plantation purpose and mine waste and
mineral reject will be stack along the 50meters mining limit left parallel to the
water distributaries and secure from washing with water during rainy seasons
by garland drain and plantation of grass and bushes over the dump.

vi. Soil classification:

Local Geology:
Lithological succession observed in the area can be summarized as follows:
Recent Alluvial Soil/laterite
Raipur series light to dark grey stromatloitic limestone found only
The area comprises of calcareous rocks of Raipur series of Chhattisgarh super
group of upper middle proterozoic age. Limestone found in this area include
gray to buff colored limestone with feeble greenish tinage at places. The
limestone of the area exhibits stromatiloitic structure and showing the elephant
skin weathering. Limestone formation is almost horizontal. The general strike of
the limestone formation is N30oE to S30oW and showing very low dip 3o to 5o
dip. Detached sizeable outcrops of limestone are noted in mining lease area. The
limestone of the area is thickly bedded. The thickness of overburden that is
mainly soil and laterite varying between 0.0 to 0.3m on regional scale, however
lease area having extensive limestone outcrops, therefore the thickness of
overburden of soil is almost nil.
Physical characteristics of Limestone:
Limestone of this area is gray in dark to light in colour, fine grained, medium
hard, thickly bedded and stromatolitic.
vii. Climate data from secondary sources:
Meteorological data recorded at the nearest IMD station Raipur was collected
from India Meteorological Department (IMD), Nagpur.
The climate of this region may be considered as extreme being intensely hot in
summer and moderately cold in winter. The climate of the area is also
characterized by a hot dry summer and well distributed rains in the monsoon
season. The cold season commences from December and lasts till the end of
February. The hot season follows thereafter and continues till about the second
weak of June. The south west monsoon season is from the middle of June to the
end of September.

12
Project Feasibility Report for Mopar Limestone Mine (13.25ha)

• Temperature: The temperature rises steadily from the beginning of March till
May, which is usually the hottest month of the year. The mean maximum
temperature in May is 41.89°C. May and the early part of June, prior to onset of
the south west monsoon are rather hot and the dust raising scorching winds add
to the discomfort. The arrival of the monsoon air during second week of June
brings relief, and the weather remains pleasant throughout the south west
monsoon season. The day temperature increases slightly towards the close of
the monsoon season, and the rise is maintained in October after the withdrawal
of the monsoon. However, the night temperature begins to drop from October
onwards. The day temperatures also begin to drop rapidly from the middle of
November. December is usually the coldest month while the mean daily
minimum temperature at 12.55°C. Cold waves sometimes affect the area in
association with the passage of western disturbances across northern India in
the cold season. Average yearly temperature varies between 32.94°C to 20.85°C.
• Relative Humidity: The relative humidity is high during the southwest
monsoon, being generally over 80%. After the monsoon season, humidity
decreases, and during the winter season, the air is fairly dry. The driest part of
the year is the summer season, with the afternoon humidity is generally about
25% or even less
• Rainfall: Monsoon in the area comes from south-westerly winds. The average
annual rainfall is reported as 1134.7 mm, and about 87% of this is received in
the monsoon season. Rainfall during July and August is highest in the year, and
constitutes more than half of the total annual rainfall. The variation in the
rainfall from year to year is not large.
• Wind Pattern
Winds are generally light to moderate, with some increase in force in late
summer and the southwest monsoon seasons. In the post monsoon and winter
months, winds are mainly from directions between north and east. In March,
winds are variable in direction. By April, winds from the west and southwest

13
Project Feasibility Report for Mopar Limestone Mine (13.25ha)

d. Assessment of infrastructure demand (physical and social)

Mining Machineries like loaders, dumpers, jack hammers etc will be required
for the lime stone mining.
e. Amenities/facilities
Rest shelters, Toilets, drinking water facilities, first aid facilities , regular
medical checkup facilities shall be provided for labours and their families.

6 Proposed infrastructure
a. Industrial area (processing area)
The project is mining project and hence site office shall be required. No
processing of lime stone is proposed in the lease area.
b. Residential area (non processing area)
No residential area is proposed for the subject project

c. Green belt
Total hact area shall be developed a green belt with 1500 number of trees in
the barrier zone of the lease area.
d. Social infrastructure
5% of the royalty per year shall be provided to the local gram panchayat for
the social developmental programmes on the need base assessment, which
shall be incurred as per the requirement .
e. Connectivity (traffic and transportation road/rail/metro/water ways
etc): The Mopar Limestone mine is located at a distance of 65kms from dist
headquarter Raipur and falling in jurisdiction of Village Mopar. Sarkipar
nearest village is situated to the eastern direction is about 0.4km. The area is
approachable by an all weather main road from Baloda Bazar to Suleha.
Nearest Railway Station is Bhatapara (BG) on Raipur-Bilaspur sector (S-E
railway), about 15 kms from the area.
f. Drinking water management (source & supply of water):
Drinking water is available in dug well and tubewell in village Sarkipar near
the area is potable and it is pure and clean. It is also proposed to provide
hand pump in the lease area.
g. Sewerage system: No construction or sewage waste is expected from the
mining process. However the domestic waste from the toilets shlla be given
treatment through septic tank and soak pit arrangement.
h. Industrial waste management: No industrial waste will be generated.
i. Solid waste management: Most of the limestone formation is already
exposed. Soil cover is only few centimeters and seen in very small portion
falling under the mining limit, rest other part is completely uncovered. The
generated quantity of soil and intercalated waste mineral rejects can be
called as waste. During the first five year 1215cum soil & 44878tonnes
mineral reject will be generated. Top soil sprayed over the lease boundary
for plantation purpose and mine waste and mineral reject will be stack along
the 50meters mining limit left parallel to the water distributaries and secure

from washing with water during rainy seasons by garland drain and
plantation of grass and bushes over the dump.
j. Power requirement & supply/source: The power requirement for the
project has been met by CG State Electricity Board, which is available at near
village.
7 Rehabilitation and Resettlement (R & R) Plan: No R&R plan is required as no
displacement of people is proposed for the mining project
8 Project Schedule and Cost estimates
a. Likely date of start of construction and likely date of completion (time
schedule for the project to be given)
The subject mining project was earlier in operation and it will start again as
soon as environmental clearance will be obtained.
b. Estimated project cost along with analysis in terms of economic viability of
the project
The cost benefit analysis is enclosed as Annexure-1 with feasibility report.

9 Analysis
10 is 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 project will create local employment to the villagers and they will
get employment in non agricultural season. Further royalty shall be paid to the
Govt, which will create revenue generation for the Govt. Further project
proponent shall provide 5% of the royalty every year to the local panchayat, and
number of developmental work which will be need based can be executed
through the same fund.
