Review of Compliance Position of salient Features of Mining Plan:

Exploration:

The lease area has been under mining since 1986 onwards and renewal from 2006. There

are number of pits. The mine owner drilled one bore hole for drinking water purpose. The

dolomite is exposed over the entire lease area and now the depth of workings has exposed the

dolomite from top MRL to 349 MRL i.e. 322 meters. However, from continuity, the bore for

drinking water gave column of 90 m. as reported in scheme of mining of 2012. No additional

exploration was carried out. There has been a proposal of drilling 2 boreholes for 30 m. depth in

scheme of mining. The lessee has not carried out these proposed boreholes.




(Area: 8.094 Hect.)

Mine Development AND Production as per approved Mining Plan:

The mining/exploitation of dolomite was proposed by opencast method of mining by

developing 3m x 3m benches (Two benches) and removal of overburden i.e. soil and mining of

dolomite would be simultaneous. The lessee has developed the mine more or less as per mining

plan. The details regarding quantum of proposed development and production of dolomite over 5

years period is given below.

The total production during this period has been 13,150 tonnes as against proposed 19,950

tonnes. The production year wise during 2006-07 to 2010-11 is given below:

It could be seen that only 13,150 tonnes of dolomite produced during 5 years of the

mining plan period from 2006-07 to 2010-11 against the production of 19,950 tonnes.

Waste Management:

The overburden is in the form of soil. The argillaceous intercalations as well as the

siliceous material in the form of chert, it was expected to generate waste as 10% of the ROM to

be dumped along western boundary.

Afforeestation:

It was proposed to plant 25 nos. of trees/year along boundary to compensate the damage

caused to environment by mining activity. It was reported in mining plan that lessee planted 200

trees during plan period with 60% survival rate.

Mine Reclamation:

During last five years backfilling/reclamation was not proposed as the expected mine

waste is not substantial and reserves are large enough to continue mining.




(Area: 8.094 Hect.)

Environment:

The lessee was granted with consent from Air & Pollution /water Control Board for a

production of 30,000 tonnes/year upto 30/11/2017, vide letter no.6905/TS/MPPCB/Mine/2014

3.0 GEOLOGY AND RESERVES:

Physiography:

The lease area has a high relief on eastern boundary pillars and sloping towards NE and

North. The highest RL/contour is 361 m and lowest contour is 322 m. There are 7 pits, which has

been worked in from west to east almost in strike direction. The lowest pit bottom as reached in

pit no.1 is 323.65 MRL on BP1 & BP2 boundary line.

Location & Accessibility:

The lease area is about 54 km from Nagpur via Saoner by NH7 for Malegaon village,

there is a bifurcation from Kelvad and it is connected by tar road and partly by murrum road. The

lease is located about 7 km north east of Kelvad township.

Regional Geology:

Chhindwara, one of the southern districts of Madhya Pradesh is located between latitudes

210 29’ and 22

0 46N and longitudes78

0 15’ and 79

0 19E in survey of India degree sheets no’s.

55N, O, K and 55 J. the district is bordered by Hoshangabad district in the northwest,

Narsinghpur district in north, Seoni district in east, Nagpur and Amravati districts in the south and

betul district in the west. All the major towns in the district are well connected by roads.

Delakhar, Parasia, Khapa, Harrai, Amarwara, Churai and Sausar are some of the important towns.

Amla-Seoni branch line of central railway passes through Chhindwara.

Physiographic ally, the district forms a part of Maikal range of northern and eastern parts

of satpura hills trending NE-SW to E-W.

The rocks occurring in the district range in age from mesoproterozoic to quaternary. The

tirodi biotite gneiss (TBG) and supracrustal sausar group (SSG) of rocks occur in the southern

part of the district. The rocks of gondwana supergroup which occur in the north and northwest

comprise talchir, barakar, motur, bijori, panchmarhi, denwa, bagra and Jabalpur formations. The

talchir formation comprises tillite and diamictite and soft to moderately hard current bedded

sandstone with coal measures and carbonaceous shale. Motur formation comprises course grained

sandstone with pebby interbands, variegated shale and clay and the bijori formation comprises

olive and buff coloured clays and shale alternating with massive sandstone. The panchmarhi

formation consists of thick beds of course to granular, white arsenate or quartz wacked, separated

by lenses or thin layers of clast supported by conglomerate and thin red clay bands. The denwa

formation consists mainly of alternating bands of sandstone and red to variegated calcareous clay.

the bagra formation comprises of conglomerate, variegated shales and subordinate limestone

bands. The youngest Jabalpur formation consist mainly of massive sandstone alternating with

white clays. Lenses of conglomerate are common.

The rocks of lameta group occur as thin bands and discontinuous patches in the southern

parts. These are represented by chests, charity nodular limestone, variegated clay and shale,

deposited in a lacustrine environment.




(Area: 8.094 Hect.)

The basaltic lava flows of Deccan traps, which is classified under amarkantak group are

well exposed in the eastern and southern part of the district. The group is further divided into 8

formations such as manla, dhuma, pipardahi, linga, multai, amarwara, khamla and kuleru

formations in the descending order. These flows are mainly of simple and compound pahoehoe

type, non porphyritic to porphyritic and some flows are mega porphriytic in nature. Numerous E-

W trending dykes and skills, mostly of doleritic composition intrude the gondwana rocks and

basaltic flows. They range in length from few hundred meters to few kilometers with width

ranging from few meters to few hundred meters.

The district is endowed with mineral deposits like manganese which occur as lenses

varying from 1.5 m to as much as 6m thickness in the quartz mica schist and as pockets and pods

in the pink marble.

Reserves as Indicated in Approved Mining Plan:

The total reserves under proved, probable and possible categories in the approved mining

plan has been 48,25,275 tonnes of which proved+Probable mineable reserves has placed at

30,71,284 tonnes, with 85% recovery. There has been depletion of about 13,150 tonnes of

dolomite mined during 5 years i.e. end of 2010-11. Thus the mineable reserves as on 01/04/2011

were shown as 30,71,284 tonnes, less by 13,150 tonnes = 30,58,134 tonnes. The sample analysis

Summary Total:

A) Proved = 32,92,375 tonnes

B) Probable = 26,15,625 tonnes

……………………………………….…………………… Total = 59,08,000 tonnes

……………………………………….……………………

Reserves under 7.5 m barrier calculated = 745,312 tonnes

Reserves calculated in the pit slope = 11,95,000 tonnes

The Bocked up reserves are = 745,312 tonnes (7.5 m barrier)

= 11,95,000 tonnes (in pit slope)

= 19,40,312 tonnes

A. Thus the net mineable reserves will be = Proved +Probable

= 59,08,000 tonnes

B. The total Bocked reserves are deducted = 19,40,312 tonnes

= 39,67,688 tonnes

Thus the reserves calculated and the net mineable reserves (Proved + probable) after

considering dolomite reserves blocked under 7.5 m barrier and pit slope are 39,67,688 tonnes

Life of deposit/mine: Considering large mineable reserves and the proposed rate of

production of 89,100 tonnes/year ROM, the life of deposit comes to 45 years.

Proposed Exploration:

The dolomite is exposed from top of the hill, down to surface level 315 MRL. It is likely

that the dolomite will persist down depth for at least 30 m. and hence the drilling of 4 boreholes at

100 m interval and down to 30 m. are proposed to confirm the dolomite persistence say upto 295

MRL. This will be done to convert 122 category reserve into 111 UNFC category. The location of

boreholes are shown geological plan Plate No. 3. The location is given below.

CHAPTER–4

4.0 CONCEPTUAL MINING:

Exploration:

There is a proposal to carry out 4 drill holes vertical for 30 m depth at 100 m. interval

from the present pit bottom. The reserves calculated are large enough to sustain the production @

89,100 tonnes/year for 3 blocks of 5 years as conceptual mining. However, the lessee will carry

out exploration during 2017-18 to know and confirm the depth persistency of dolomite.

Production & Development:

The mining will continue by open cast method of mining forming 6 m x 8m. benches. The

lease period is upto 2026.

The conceptual plan and sections is shown in Plate No.7 & 7A.

Afforestation:

The afforestation programme will continue @75 plant/year which will cover an area of

0.2250 Hect. in 1st Five year block and another 0.2250 Hect. in Second block. The afforestation

/plantation is shown in Plate No.7.

Back filling/Reclamation:

The mining will continue and reach a level upto 322 MRL. There is as such no proposal of

backfilling as well reclaim any matured pit/quarry in this mine.

Land use at the end of Conceptual Mining: The mining operations would have been

covered a large area reaching a depth upto 322 MRL. Plantation, etc. would be carried out. The

details are

CHAPTER–5

5.0 MINING AND BLASTING:

Present Mining:

The lessee has been mining dolomite for the last 30 years and has developed the

developed quarry, some soil dumps and waste/reject dumps. The depth of mine has reached

324.26 m. pit depth ranging from 356 MRL to 323 MRL (min.). Surface Plan is placed as Plate

No. 5.

The total area under mining, taking all the pits into consideration is 5.4000 Hect. The land

use at present is 5.58 Hect. There has been hardly any plantation which has survived.

Drilling parameter: -

For drilling of the blast hole, Jackhammer compressor drill will be deployed to run the said drills.

During the Scheme of mining period of five years,

Volume of yearly excavation shall be maximum 39600 cum. in per annum.

Total 10% volume of waste will be handled by drilling and blasting – i.e. 3960 cum

Volume of strata to be blasted per day = 132 cum.

Volume basted by one hole (Burden x Spacing x Depth of hole) 1.0 x 1.0 x 2.5 = 2.5 cum

No of holes to be blasted per day – 53 nos.

Meterage to be drill – 53x 2.5 = 133 m

Nos. of 50 hp capacity of drill required to be in operation – 133/50 =2.66 say 3.0

Nos. of drill required in all total – 3.0

Therefore 2 nos. of Jackhammer drill required.




(Area: 8.094 Hect.)

Explosive Consumption: -

1. Max Excavation 39600 cum. per annum.

2. Percentage of waste 10%

3. Max waste volume through blasting 3960 m3

4. Daily rate of excavation 132 m3

(Considering 300 effective working days in an year)

5. Explosive consumption 53 x 0.4 = 21kg

Explosive to be used: -

Ammonium Nitrate and Fuel Oil (ANFO) mixture based explosive are recommended for

primary blasting.

Power factor is considered approx. 11 T/Kg. of Explosive. As per practical observation.

Type of explosive to be used: -

(i) Gun powder with safety fuse.

(ii) Ordinary detonator.

(iii) Gelatin.

Whether secondary blasting in needed:

No.

Miscellaneous:

Regular oiling greasing and maintenance of the machine will be done at the mine site.

Precaution to be observed during drilling & blasting: -

Following precautions will be taken during blasting period:

(1) Sufficient warning by signal is given over the entire area falling within the danger

zone & ensure that all persons within such area have taken proper shelter.

(2) Wet drilling is to be done in hand holes & as well as jack hammer drilling.

(3) Suitable air respirator will be provided to drillers. During blasting controlled blasting

will be done and not more than ten holes will be blasted at a time and no hole will be

charged with more than 400 grms. of explosive at a time.( As the case may be

Dolomite zone.

Muffle blasting will be done to prevent flying fragments, which may cause injury to local

inhabitations within danger zone. Muffle blasting will be carried out by keeping sand filled bags

on wire net placed on holes.




(Area: 8.094 Hect.)

Quality Control: -

In spite of the fact that the grade variation in the production may arise, presently all the

grades have good marketing. So the sub grade shall be blended with the higher grade in order to

meet the specification of the end users.

Any change in proposed method of mining and development of machinery.

As discussed, the mining in the area to be done by semi mechanized method with following

machineries:

1. Drilling by Jackhammer drill.

Loading and Transportation: -

The loading of ore is being done by excavator cum loader to the dumper / tipper and the

over burden loading is done by pay loader. Further transportation to the consumption site,

dumpers are used.

Calculation for nos. of dumpers required: -

Ore to be transported (Max) = 89100 T per annum

= 297T / day

Capacity of the dumper = 30 MT

Availability of the dumper = Whole day

Minimum a Dumper will be completing 11 trips for transport the mineral from mines to

stack yard per day.

No. of Dumpers required = 297 / 30 / 9.9 = 10 Nos.

Stand by = 1 Nos.

Total no. of dumpers required = 1 Nos.

For over burden transport:

Average run of dumper site is taken both up and down travel distance would be 1 km.

minimum one hour shall be taken a Dumper for loading and un loading the waste material from

mines to Dumping yard. So a dumper will be doing 2 trips for transport the Waste from mines to

dump yard per day.

Waste likely to be generated daily 8 cum / day.

Capacity of the dumper = 5cum

No. of Dumpers required = 8/5 = 1 dumper can made 2 trips in a day.

Dumper used for the mineral will make extra for the waste/ over burden transport.

Calculation for nos. of Poclains required: -

1. Poclain availability = 85%

2. Poclain utilization = 70%

3. In 8hr shift effective working hours for a poclain

8 x 0.85 x 0.70 = 4.76 hrs or 285.6mt

4. Therefore, in one shift one Poclain would excavate 285.6/0.7 = 408 times

5. Quantity of materials carried in one boom = 2.0 MT

6. Maximum excavation expected by poclain = 408x2 x 300=248400t

7. A Poclain is targeted to excavate (297 x 300) = 89,100T per annum

8. The Projected maximum production of ore would be 89,100T per annum

Hence the nos. of Poclain required (for Ore + waste handling) is 39600/244800= 0.016t

Excavation of 10% (Av) Overburden + Mineral will require one no. of poclain.

6.0 DISPOSAL OF MINE WASTE AND SEPARATE STACKING OF REJECT/

SUBGRADE MATERIAL:

There is no doubt that a soil cover of about of about 0.5 to 1 m. However, the earlier

mining has already exposed the dolomite in all the 7 pits and has no soil section. There recovery

of dolomite has been taken as 90%. The 10% material from ROM will be mostly the shale as well

as the chert, while dolomite is exploited. All such material will be carried out from sorting plots

or from face to pre-decided waste dumps by Tippers, etc. after loading by JCB. The year wise

generation of waste is given in table below:

The height of dumps will be kept at 5 m and year wise it will terraced/spread for

stabilization. The little quantities of soil if generated will be used for plantation as proposed.

The lessee will construct the retaining wall for these dumps, if required, in future as the

quantities of waste every year generated are small. The terracing will be attended and some

plantation on these steps will be done to stabilize these dumps.




(Area: 8.094 Hect.)

CHAPTER–7

7.0 MINE DRAINAGE:

There is no water regime near to these mines and there are no chances of any flooding,

etc. The rain water as on date run down from the natural slopes. There may be some accumulation

of water in rainy season this water will be pumped outside lease area by suitable capacity pumps

of 5HP.




(Area: 8.094 Hect.)

CHAPTER–8

8.0 USE OF MINERAL:

The dolomite at this mine is white crystalline, hard and has high MgO content and low

silica as revealed from the analysis reports in approved scheme of mining. The grades as indicated

give the values for CaO-29.49%, MgO-21.57%; SiO2-1.75%; Al2O3- 0.41%; Na2O + K2O-

0.02+0.02%; Fe2O3- 0.66%. These radical values are matching to the SMS & BF grade dolomite,

on the following basis SMS & BF

CaO – 29% & above

MgO-20% & above

SiO2-below1.5% for SMS & 3.5% for BF grade

Thus the dolomite of this area is SMS grade and is being dispatched to steel plants like

Bhilai, NECO, Maharashtra Smelters in Durg, Nagpur, Chandrapur and such other small steel

units in Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and Maharashtra which are about 300 km from mine head.

2.3 Mining method:

The mining operations has been and will be by opencast method of mining forming 6m x

8m benches, adopting drilling, blasting transport of ROM, sorting(if required) by deploying JCB,

tippers, dumpers etc. for loading and transport. The details are given in Chapter-5 of the Scheme

of Mining.

2.4 Mineral beneficiation:

The dolomite mined/exploited will be carried to the lessee’s crusher for powdering, etc. by

haulage roads. It is only hand sorting for removal of chert boulders and shale generated along

with dolomite. As such no mineral beneficiation is required and no proposal to this extent.

3.0 REVIEW OF IMPLEMENTATION OF MINING PLAN/SCHEME OF MINING

INCLUDING 5 YEARS PROGRESSIVE MINE CLOSURE PLAN:

The review of mining plan and scheme of m9ning activity has been given in Chapter-1 of

Scheme of Mining. The lessee is going to develop the mine for production of 89100 tonnes of

dolomite from 2016-17 to 2020-21 by developing 6mx 8m benches and deploying mining

machinery for handling such large production. The necessary measures for environment

protection safety, its impact will be adopted as proposed. The details are given in Chapter-1 and 5.




(Area: 8.094 Hect.)

4.0 CLOSURE PLAN:

4.1 Mined out Land:

There are 7 pits in the lease area in west-east direction with 6m benches. A small dump

the working is from 349 MRL and working upto 324 MRL. The areas under various items at

present and at the end of 5 years will be

S.No. Area

Area at the end of

5 years Hect.

i) Area under pits 5.4000 6.1000

ii) Area under Road 0.1800 0.1800

iii) Area under storage -- 0.1600

iv) Area under dumps/rejects -- 0.2500

v) Area under office/stores -- 0.1800

vi) Area under Plantation -- 0.2250

There is no water problem. There are no deep pits to get rain waters also. There is no

planning for back filling, etc.

4.2 Water Quality Management:

The water table is at high levels i.e. 20 to 25 m below ground. The necessary water

requirements for drinking to workers and for water sprinkling will be met from other source

outside lease. The potable water is available near their other mines of 3 Hect. There is no

processing unit for any toxic pollution. The water analysis report will be sent to IBM.

4.3 Air Quality Management:

The present mining of dolomite has not made any bad impact on air quality. The dust

generation is very low, no crusher near mines. The vehicles exhaust and the drilling/blasting may

pollute the air with NO2, CO, SO2. However, the SPM, RPM, APM and CO2, NO2, SO2, etc. will

be checked by Air sample analysis and measures will be adopted to keep the limit to normal.

4.4 Waste Management:

While mining the dolomite, the waste material likely to be generated as shale chips and

chert boulders and are sorted. The 10% waste from ROM is separately stacked as reject dumps

and shown on the Plate No.6, 7, EMP & PMCP. The total quantities of such reject during 5 years

will be 49,500 tonnes total.

4.5 Top Soil Management:

Though there is a thin soil cover, which has already been recovered while working in 7

pits. There will be no soil generation during 2016-17 to 2020-21 and no stacking is proposed.




(Area: 8.094 Hect.)

4.6 Tailing Dam Management:

Not applicable.

4.7 Infrastructure:

The haul road in the lease and approach road has been developed and maintained. The

other facilities like office, rest shelters, drinking water points and blasters shade etc. will be

developed.

4.8 Safety & Security:

The necessary measures will be planned while exploiting the dolomite by maintaining

bench height and slopes. The dumping areas will be

stablised by terracing and maintaining a height of 5m. and slopes at 35o. Plantation will be done if

required for stabilizing.

4.9 Disposal of Mining Machinery:

It is not proposed and planned as the life span period of each machine deployed is not

over. The maintenance will secure the life of machine.

4.10 Disaster Management:

The lease area does not come under ant seismic zones. The small hillocks with dolomite

are stable enough. However, the land slide etc. during rainy season will be tackled. There are no

chances of floods. However, all emergency plans will be prepared and displayed on notice boards

and training will be imparted for handling such situation as routine to workers. The mock

rehearsal will be carried out. A safety and security officer will be appointed.

4.11 Care & Maintenance during Temporary discontinuance:

All those measures like fencing to working pits, collapse of dumps, etc and red flags etc

will be provided; notices displaced. i.e. All such precautionary measures will be practiced as per

MCDR, 1988 Rules and Mines Safety Rules, 1961.

5.0 ECONOMIC REPERCUSSIONS OF CLOSURE OF MINE AND MANPOWER

RETRENCHMENT:

a) Not applicable at present as the mining activity is going to continue for at least 10 to 12

years.

b) Employees will be appointed as per the lessees requirement and norms before mining

operations takes place on large scale.

c) Manpower retrenchment is not a issue and that will come up at the end of lease period or

exhaustion of the mineral reserves.




(Area: 8.094 Hect.)

5.1 Number of local residents employed in the mine Status of continuation of family

occupation and their family:

There will be need of technical and unskilled persons and it will be from local and nearby

areas as per qualifications. There should not be any problem of the family occupation etc. as the

local residents are agriculturist.

5.2 Compensation to be paid to employees connecting with sustenance of himself and

their family members:

The retrenchment compensation to such workers will be done, if required, as per Centre

Labour Legislation applicable to metalliferous mines.

5.3 Satellite occupations connected to the mining activity, industry, number of persons

engaged there in continuance of such business after mine closure:

No satellite occupations connected with mining activity. It is a Govt. revenue non-forest

land. It is to be reclaimed etc. and handed over to authorities. The deep pits etc. after reaching

uneconomic depth limits may be converted to a reservoir to be filled by water for harvesting and

developed in fisheries.

5.4 Continued engagement of employees in the rehabilitated state in the mining lease

area and any other activity:

As such the lease area is Govt. land and no scheme of any rehabilitation to employees in

the mining lease etc. No planning to the extent.

5.5 Envisaged repercussions on the expectation of society around due to closure of mine:

No repercussion envisaged as there are good number of mines around this lease and in

region. The new dolomite leases are likely to come up to absorb the technical and unskilled

labour in such mines. The society will get benefit of economic development and socioeconomic

conditions will also improve.

6.0 TIME SCHEDULE FOR ABONDONMENT:

The lease has been renewed and the reserves are sufficient to work over 10 to 12 years

minimum @ 89,100 tonnes/year. There are no proposals to abandon the mine at present. There is

market for dolomite powder as filler as well as in steel industry.

7.0 ABANDONMENT COST:

It has not been envisaged in near future and no cost estimates are prepared. However, the lessee

will incurring cost on the monitoring of Air, Water quality, the Noise levels and the measures

required. There is no backfilling proposal. The lessee will also incur cost on plantation over the

two years. This item wise cost is given in

Table 6 & 7 and are enclosed.
