(3) Method of Mining

The mining will be done by opencast semi mechanized method by using earth movers

like JCB. The overburden and mineral will be excavated with the help of JCB. The

mineral Gypsum is overlain by sand dunes so far the exploitation of mineral there is

requirement of removal of the over burden and stack sand cover separately at the

appropriate location. Since the deposit occurs at a depth of 0.10-0.50 cm and the

thickness of the deposit is sufficient to be economically mineable. The height of the

bench will be kept 4.0 meters in mineral. Overburden will be removed and

transportation of Gypsum from mining pit to trucks and dumpers. Drilling and blasting

will not be required.
