The recovery factor is taken as 95% from the top bench up to the bottom. Depth of mining is

taken as 30m. The life of the mine is computed as 2 year at production rate of 76273 MT

2.3 Need for the project and its importance to the country and or region

The major need of building stone is due to high compressive strength and durability (among

the hardest, dimensional & structural stones) it can effectively withstand the vagaries of

nature. Fine-grained granite is employed for ornamental and monumental. Works as well as

for inscription purposes. The mineral –rich colours, and the hardness & density, makes its

useful for many applications.

The proposed mining project will fulfill its end uses in buildings and constructions, bridges,

paving, monuments and many other exterior projects. Polished slabs and titles are used in

countertops, flooring, retaining walls and landscaping around a centre are used in

countertops, flooring, retaining walls and landscaping around a centre fountain / pond,

staircase and many other design elements (residential and commercial applications). It is also

known as the maintenance – free stone.

The mining and associated activities in the mineral bearing areas bring about gains in gross

domestic product, ie. There is though a minor contribution by the proposed project but will

add to the gains in G.D.P (Gross Domestic Product).

A total of 16 people will be employed in the mine. It will create employment (though

marginally) for local population.

Applicant will pay royalty for the mineral produced from the mine, direct and indirect taxes

will be paid thereby contributing to the regional revenue. The public revenue will further be

put for infrastructure development and other sectors like health, education and social welfare.

2.4 Demand – Supply Gap

Since it is main raw material in construction project. It is always in demand. So the

proposed mining project will fulfill its end users in local market, as it is always in good

demand in construction projects.

2.5 Imports / Exports

Building stone explored from the mines will be used in the local areas in construction

activities like roads, building and railways. The mineral produced from the proposed mine

will be sent to the crusher plant located near the quarry site for crushing it to required size

before dispatching it to the end use.

2.6 Export possibility

No export businesses are taken in this project.

2.7 Domestic/ export markets

The rough stone produced will be sold in local market, which is in turn used for construction

purposes.
