Note:
1. The above data is compiled from Geological Report, Mining Plan and the data furnished by the
prior allottee in Annexure-I/II, as available. For clarifications with regard to above data, please
refer aforesaid source documents.
 2. The boundary of the block has been taken from GR after conversion to WGS84 system by
feature matching. The block boundary is provisional and the cardinal points, bounding co-
ordinates are approximate.

3. There is a difference in area in the shape file and GR. Area in the shape file is based on feature
mapped plan of the block as given in the GR. So, the area is tentative and field DGPS survey
is required to ascertain the exact area.

Disclaimer:
1. The analysis is done on Beta-version (Trial Version) of Decision Support System (DSS) of
FSI/ MOEF.
2. The Decision Rules for various parameters of this DSS System are controlled by FSI.
3. CMPDI only runs this DSS to obtain the status of any block based on these Decision Rules.
4. The database of the Decision Rules is updated by FSI from time to time.
5. CMPDI does not own any responsibility for variation in the results which are based on the
decision Rules of the FSI DSS in case of any update of the database at FSI end.

public domain. Bidders are encouraged to verify this information and any other information
additionally available.
