2.0 INTRODUCTION OF THE PROJECT/ BACKGROUND INFORMATION

2.1 Identification of Project and Project Proponent

The proposed project area is found to have good deposits of Colour granite. Granite is

used as a construction material for flooring, coverings and cladding, making of

kitchen articles, sculptures, etc.

2.2 Brief Information about the Project

The mining lease area of 1.00 ha is located in Government land. Open cast semi

mechanized mining is followed and it has been proposed to produce approximately

784 m3/ annum of Colour granite. The nearest habitation, Gulapalem Village is located

at a distance of 0.7 km due South East side from lease area.

U. Anjaneyulu has filed an application for quarry lease for

Colour over an extent of 1.00 ha, in Sy.No.187 of Gulapalem Village

Vajrakarur Mandal Ananthapur District, Andhra Pradesh to the Assistant Director

of MinesGeology,Ananthapur.

The Director of Mines & Geology, Hyderabad has decided to grant a quarry lease in

favor of Sri. U. Anjaneyulu for a period of 20 years subject to submission of

Approved Mining Plan within a period of 6 months from the date of issue.

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

The demand for granite increased due to rapid industrialization and growth in

infrastructure. So the number of granite producing quarries is increasing in India.

Granite is the chief material for the export industries like monuments, flooring slabs,

Kitchen articles, sculptures & export. Based on the demand of Granite, the lessee

intends to produce the required quantity of Colour Granite for domestic market.

As per EIA notification 2006 the project falls under Category- B, the proponent is

submitting the proposal to get Clearance for production capacity of 784 m3/ annum of

granite blocks from SEAC, SEIAA, A.P for the purpose of grant of quarry lease.


4

2.4 Demands-Supply Gap

The demand and supply for the Colour granite is growing which makes a lot of scope

for revenue generation. Once the stone is obtained after quarrying it is further

processed and supplied to industries.

India is amongst the leading exporter countries of stones in the world. The major

importers of Indian stones are USA, China, UK, Italy, Belgium, Germany, UAE,

Hong Kong, Spain, Taiwan, Netherlands, Canada, Turkey, France, Russia and CIS

countries. The growth is continuing and the demand for marble, granite, sandstone

and other dimensional stones and stone products is anticipated to grow at around 15%

CAGR.

2.5 Domestic/ Export Markets

Although granite is a minor mineral, it is a major contributor in foreign exchange

earnings. India is a major exporter of natural stone and granite, which is the second

largest foreign exchange earner for India besides iron ore in minerals category.

2.6 Employment Generation

Proposed mining is semi-mechanized method and this project operation will provide

livelihood to the 58 workers. It will provide employment to the people residing in

vicinity.

3.5 Geology and Reserves

3.5.1 Regional Geological setup

The Geological formations in the Anantapur District can broadly be divided in

distinct and well-marked groups and older group of Metamorphic rocks belonging

to Archean and Younger group of Sedimentary rocks belonging to the Proterozoic

age the later cover part of Devanakonda block. The remaining parts of District is

Occupied by Archean rocks which consist of Schist, Gneisses, Quartz veins and

basic dykes. The Archean rocks have suffered considerable degree of tectonic

disturbances, as a result of which the rocks have been metamorphosed and

recrystallized.

Stratigraphic Sequences established in the area as follows:

3.5.2 Local Geology

The Colour Granite in the Distinct form of occurrence as dolerite dyke swarms in

either side of the Grey granites & Gneisses. The Subject area belongs to a hillock

extended in EW & NW direction and gently sloping towards South direction with

Colour Granite Sheet Rock intruded as Dolerite dyke. The rock is highly puckered,

sheared and faulted and has schistosity trending between WNW & ESE with moderate

to steep dips in either Easterly and Westerly directions. The peninsular gneissic

complex comprises gneisses (migmatite), gray granite, and Pink Granite and Gneissic

granite. The gneiss in general show banding due to alteration of light colored quartzo-

feldspathic minerals and dark colored biotite or hornblende minerals. These rocks

may be separated in to two distinct groups namely the massive foliated types occur as

low dome shaped hillocks. The intrusive relationship of the granite rock is evident by

the presence of tongues and apophyges within the older rocks and the occurrence of

xenoliths of the older rocks within the granite.

3.6 PROJECT DESCRIPTION WITH PROCESS DETAILS

3.6.1 Method of Mining

a) Type of Mining:

Open cast method of mining is carried out in this mine by manually and semi

mechanization by using compressor operated jack hammer drills, excavators, and

dumper etc, Transportation will be made by trucks to dispatching point.

b) Brief Description: (Existing method of working)

The mining operations are carried out by semi-mechanization as open cast mining.

Hydraulic excavator and compresses operated jack hammers were used for cutting the

rock. Close spaced drilling of 0.2m was adopted along a straight line and charged with

low explosives to avoid feather cracks.

c) Removal / Excavation of O.B. and other Quarry Waste:

There is no overburden on the deposit. Boulders are exposed on top of the Colour

granite. The North-West side of the area is selected for dump yard for next five years

and the waste will be stocked in the dump yard as earmarked in plate No.4. Step

dumping will be resorted. This material can be utilized to fill the pits after quarry

operations are over. When the dumps reach their optimum height suitable greenery

will be grown on these dumps to stabilize them.

d) Separation of large primary Blocks from the mother rock by pre-splitting

(Primary):

The mining will be followed in the form of linear cut method. This involves loosing of

the primary block from mother rock. Hence primary cutting will be done by line

drilling method where close spaced parallel holes along straight line will be made.

Line drilling method is used for separation of primary blocks.

i. Once the free face is developed in working place, the primary cuts are taken up over a

maximum length of 10m to a width of 3m and to a depth of 6m depends upon the

joints availability. These dimensions are confirmed as for field studies. Primary block

will be cut into secondary blocks by Jackhammer drilling and wedge cutting and this

block will be dislodged from in-situ position by an excavator.

ii. Line drilling method will be used for cutting the primary blocks which involve drilling

and blasting.


12

iii. The holes are charged with low explosive cartridge like gun powder and non-delay

detonators for smooth blasting.

iv. The use of delay detonates causes fragmentation and cracks in rocks. The non

detonating cords are inserted into the holes and the holes are stemmed with muck and

plugged at the mouth and fired.

v. Thus the block will separate from the mother rock, which is pulled off from the face

with cranes or shovel.

e) Sub-Division of large Primary Blocks into Secondary Block:

This will be done drilling close spaced holes (along a line) down to the depth and the

secondary block will be removed easily by just pulling it with the help of proclain. Close

spaced holes will be drilled to the half the length of the block on either side of it by using

wedges blocks can be separated.

f) Production of Commercial Blocks:-

Major boulders exposed are used for small size marketable blocks. After primary

separation the rock mass will be carefully examined to avoid hair line cracks, mineral

segregations and veins etc., the dressing of the rough blocks will be made by chipping the

edges and geometrically equating the edges of the block at the dressing yard. The rough

blocks obtained after primary cut it will be dressed for obtained good geometric shape of

granite. Thus the commercial blocks are produced.

g) Extent of Mechanisation

MINING:

Type of Mining: Open cast method of mining is carried out in this mine

by manually and semi mechanisation by using compressor operated

jack hammer drills, excavators, and dumper etc., Transportation will be

made by trucks to dispatching points. (Rail head/Port)

Brief Description: (Existing method of working)

The mining operations are carried out by semi-mechanisation as open

cast mining. Hydraulic excavator and compresser operated jack

hammers were used for cutting the rock. Close spaced drilling of 0.2m

was adopted along a straight line and charged with low explosives to

avoid feather cracks.

be resorted. This material can be utilised to fill the pits after quarry operations

are over. When the dumps reach their optimum height suitable greenery will

be grown on this dumps to stabilize them.

d) Separation of large prima,.Y Blocks from the mother rock by pre-splitting

(Primary cut)

e)

13

The mining will be followed in the form of linear cut method. This involves

loosing of the primary block from mother rock. Hence primary cutting will be

done by line drilling method where close spaced parallel holes along straight

line will be made. Line drilling method is used for separation of primary blocks.

i) Once the free face is developed in working place, the primary cuts is

taken up over a maximum length of 1 0 mtrs with a width of 3 mtrs and

to a depth of 6 mtrs. depends upon the joints availability. These

dimentions are confirmed as for field studies. Primary block will be cut

into secondary blocks by Jackhammer drilling and wedge cutting and

this block will be dislodged from in-situe position by an excavator.

ii) Line drilling method will be used for cutting the primary blocks which

involve drilling and blasting.

iii) The holes are charged with low explosive catridge like gun powder and

non-delay detonators for smooth blasting.

iv) The use of delay detonates causes fragmentation and cracks in rocks.

The non detonating cords are inserted into the holes and the holes are

stemmed with muck and plugged at the mouth and fired.

v) Thus the block will separate from the mother rock, which is pulled off

from the face with cranes or shovel.

Sub Division of large Primary Blocks into Secondary Block:

This will be done drilling close spaced holes (along a line) down to the depth

and the secondary block will be removed easily by just pulling it with the help

of proclain. Close spaced holes will be drilled to the half the length of the block

on either side of it by using wedges blocks can be separated.

f)

primary cut it will be dressed for obtained good geometric shape of granite.

Thus the commercial blocks are produced. ) g} EXTENT OF MECHANISATION:

a. Since it has been decided to undertake semi-mechanized mining

operations,·the following mentioned mine machinery will be deployed.

i. Excavator - One (Bucket capacity 1m3, Boom length, 7m,

Model: Tata Hitachi 200Lc)

ii. 50 CFM- AIR compressors - One

iii. Jack Hammers - three units.

iv. 17 Tonnes Tippers- 3 Nos.

Minor Tools: Chisels, Crowbars, Pick of axes spades and hammers of

different sizes. )

h) Employment Potential: Taking 25 working days in a month, there will )

be 300 working days in a year. The expected output of raw material per

day is about 2 to 3 CBM on an average. Based on the demands from

the purchasers, labour force will be increased.

i) Loading Equipment: Loading of the blocks will be made by chain .. pulley with the help of crane or procline by the skilled labourers to the

hired trucks to transport the material to the nearest ports/ destination of

l customer.

Quantum of Excavation (08 & Granite):

During this five years operations a total rock mass of 30155m3

will be excavated and 3920 cum of granite Blocks will be recoverable

from this rock mass and remaining material of about 26235m3 will go

as mineral waste.

Scheme Development and Production for the First Five Years Plan

period:

The scheme of development and production for the first five years has

been planned taking into consideration the nature of the deposit within

the lease area.lt is observed that the sheet rock is exposed on Eastern

side (near pit-3) of the Q.L area without any overburden and therefore

the development of the quarry is confined towards Eastern side (near

pit-3)of the Q.L area.The proposed year wise working area is

demarcated on plan and section and it is enclosed as plate no. 4.

a) Year wise Development: There is a vertical and free face is available on

Eastern side (near pit-3)of theQ.L area. So the Eastern side (near pit-3)of the

Q.L area is selected to work for next five years production. It is envisaged to

produce 784m3 of salable granite blocks in each year. To raise this target

production about 6031 m3 of rock mass has to be mined. The site inspection

reveals that the Eastern side (near pit-3)of the Q.L area is suitable for

development during first 5 years programme. Most of this area is covered by

the sheet rock from top to bottom. Year wise quarry development schedule is

on the foreign buyers for both

restrictions imposed by some countries and competition from other countries

that have granite deposites. We have to exploit this growing international

market trend to advantage .The international market is mostly dependent on

the agents of buyers .The buyers imposed restrictions on Quality and on the

sizes. The lessee will stand to face international market demands.

International market is mainly through personalized approach with assurance

of quality and periodical visits to the buyer countries will not only help in

sustaining the clientele, but also enable us to measure up to competition and

assess international market trends. All the above details are well known to the

Lessee and all efforts will be made to face the market trend and demand to

ensure that the venture is a profitable one. The Colour granite is being

marketed lnternationaly and we can expect good market demand will continue

for years to come with improved technology.

Uses of Granite: Granites are most adaptable as interior veneers in sky

scrapers. In architecture, granites are mostly used for artistic veneers as they

enrich other aspects of buildings.

In India granite is used as kitchen platform, kitchen sink, name plates,

foundation/inaugural stones, etc., Granites ashtrays; flower vases and other

art pieces have both domestic and export markets. Other uses for dressed or

cuter shaped forms of different sizes are as flagging stones in the form of flat

slabs or rectangular or irregular shapes over steps, walk ways, parks and

terraces, parking streets and high ways or other traffic areas with rectangular

blocks.
