(ii) Brief Description of the Nature of Project

The Lessee has proposed production capacity of Quartz & Feldspar 33,150 TPA,

from mine (M.L. No. 103/2004, Area 4.4456 ha), Village-Luharwas, Tehsil-Neem

Ka Thana, District – Sikar (Rajasthan).

(iii) Need for the Project & Its Importance to the Country/ Region

Due to the globalization and new ventures, the requirement for Quartz & Feldspar

has been on the rise over the last few years. Mineral Quartz & Feldspar is used in

various forms in many industries to manufacture various products.

Quartz:

It is used in ceramic, glass manufacturing, ferrosilicon, induction furnace sling and

electric lighting indicators and in paints. For this purpose quartz in grind to size 200

to 300 mesh in grinding units.

Mining industry play an important role in economic sector in India. Rajasthan is rich

in mineral wealth. The state is endowed with major and minor mineral resources. The

region, where the project is situated is mostly dependent on agriculture and mineral

resources. The developments of mining in the area provide direct and indirect

employment opportunities, infrastructure development, communication and socio-

economic infrastructure. The important benefits accruing from the project can thus

be stated as - boost to local and regional economy, direct contribution to the state

exchequer.

Feldspar:

Feldspar is by far the most abundant group of minerals in the earth's crust, forming

about 60% of terrestrial rocks. Most deposits offer sodium feldspar as well as

potassium feldspar and mixed feldspars. Feldspars are primarily used in industrial

applications for their alumina and alkali content. The term feldspar encompasses a

whole range of materials. Most of the products we use on a daily basis are made

with feldspar: glass for drinking, glass for protection, fiberglass for insulation, the

floor tiles and shower basins in our bathrooms, and the tableware from which we eat.

Feldspar is part of our daily life.

(iv) Demand – Supply Gap

Considering the demand of Quartz & Feldspar and sufficient availability of the

mineral in the area, it is essential to have Quartz & Feldspar Mine to sustain the

supply of raw material and other ceramic & manufacturing industries in nearby areas

& also to provide employment opportunities to the locals.

(v) Imports vs. Indigenous Production

As the mineral is sufficiently found indigenously so the import of the same is not

required.

(vi) Export Possibility

Mineral produced will be sufficiently absorbed in the local market it will not be

exported.

(vii) Domestic/Export Markets

The mine of Quartz & Feldspar is meant for domestic market use only thus, there is

no requirement of selling of the mineral in export markets.

(viii) Employment Generation (Direct and Indirect) due to the Project

The mine owner has employed Mine official (Mines Manager, Forman) in

accordance with the provision of the MMR, 1961 & Mining engineer under MCDR,

1988. The workers employed are semi-skilled and unskilled. Most of them are from

the nearby villages. Preference will be given to local persons. Mine will provide

employment to 30 direct people and 100 people will be indirectly benefitted by this

proposed project of Quartz mining.
