Sanindpur Iron & Bauxite Mine, over an area of 147.10 hectare of M/s.

Rungta Sons Pvt. Ltd. is in operation since 1986 in Sundargarh Dist. of

Odisha. The mining lease was granted in favour of the lessee and

executed for 20 years w.e.f. 06/09/1985 to 05/09/2005. In pursuance to

section 8-A (6) of MMDR Amendment Act, 2015, the mining lease period

has been extended up to 05.09.2035 by execution of a Supplementary

Lease Deed on 14.07.2016, over an area of 147.100 hectare.

The lease area of 147.10 hectares comprises of 126.324 ha. of forest

land and 20.776 ha of non-forest land. The lessee has obtained forest

clearance for 68.135 ha. i.e., 52.742 ha. vide letter no. 8-135/2003-FC

dated 19.06.2006 and further for 15.393 ha. (including 4.325 ha. of

forest land to be maintained as safety zone) vide letter No. 8-135/2003-

FC (vol.) dated 24.10.2013. The remaining 58.189 ha. (126.324 ha.-

68.135 ha.) of forest land and 0.174 ha of non-forest land (total 58.363

ha.) was proposed for surrender by the lessee in the application for 1st

renewal of mining lease for reduced area over 88.737 ha. (147.10-

58.363 ha). However, in pursuance to Section 8-A(6) of MMDR

Amendment Act, 2015 the period of the original mining lease has been

extended upto 05.09.2035 over the entire mining lease over 147.10 ha

by execution of supplementary lease deed on 14.07.2016. Now the

lessee is in the process of obtaining forest clearance for the balance

58.189 ha. of unbroken forest land (earlier proposed for surrender) as

well as 1.417 ha of forest land for mining purpose which was earlier

diverted for safety zone i.e; total forest land to be diverted is 59.606 ha

(58.189 ha + 1.417 ha) included within the existing mining lease area

over 147.10 ha. Out of 59.606 ha forest land 57.515 ha will be used for

mining and ancillary activities and 2.091 ha will be maintained as safety

zone. Acknowledgement slip of online submission of diversion proposal

of forest land is enclosed.




The above mine was accorded Environmental Clearance vide order no. J-

11015/206/2012-IA.II(M) dated 19.11.2013 for 2.85 MTPA of ROM Iron

ore, 1.65 MTPA of low grade ore from old low grade ore stacks & dumps

(total handling 4.5 million TPA) and installation of wet beneficiation plant

of 1.44MTPA throughput capacity. At present, the production of the mine

is from excavation of Iron ore (ROM) from the mine and then dry

screening & crushing of iron ore for different grade and size of ore. Low

grade iron ore from old stacks & old dumps within mine lease are area

also crushed and screened to obtain different fractions of ore. The low

grade ore produced from the dry crushing and screening process is

upgraded through wet beneficiation unit. There is no production of

Bauxite at present and also not proposed in future.

Now it is proposed to increase the production of ROM iron ore from 4.5

million TPA (2.85 million TPA of ROM & 1.65 million TPA of low grade

ore from old stacks & dumps within mine lease area) to 8.06 million TPA

(7.0 million TPA ROM excavations from mine & dry screening and

crushing of low grade iron ore of 1.06 million TPA from old stacks & old

dumps within the lease area ). Approval of wet beneficiation plant with

throughput capacity of 1.44 million TPA has already been accorded in

earlier environment clearance vide letter no. J-11015/206/2012-IA.II

(M) dated 19.11.2013 and same will continue.

At present the mines produce 2.85 million TPA ROM iron ore from mine

&1.65 million TPA of low grade iron ore from old stacks/dump. First

phase of wet beneficiation plant is under operation from October 2017.

At present, the production of the mine is from excavation of Iron ore

(ROM) from the mine and then dry screening & crushing of iron ore for

different grade and size of ore. Low grade ore from old stacks & dumps

within mine lease area are also crushed and screened to obtain different

fractions of ore. The low grade ore fines produced from the dry crushing

and screening process is upgraded through wet beneficiation unit.




Hence, the capacity expansion of this mine will meet the urgency of iron

ore in present as well as future domestic and international market. The

State will also earn more royalty from the increased iron ore production

and can utilize in its developmental plans. The capacity expansion plan

will also create direct and indirect employment opportunity for the local

youths that will help to minimize the unemployment as well as all around

development of the surrounding area.

clearance for 68.135 ha. i.e., 52.742 ha. vide letter no. 8-135/2003-FC

dated 19.06.2006 and further for 15.393 ha. (including 4.325 ha. of

forest land to be maintained as safety zone) vide letter No. 8-135/2003-

FC (vol.) dated 24.10.2013. The remaining 58.189 ha. (126.324 ha.-

68.135 ha.) of forest land and 0.174 ha of non-forest land (total 58.363

ha.) was proposed for surrender by the lessee in the application for 1st

renewal of mining lease for reduced area over 88.737 ha. (147.10-

58.363 ha). However, in pursuance to Section 8-A(6) of MMDR

Amendment Act, 2015 the period of the original mining lease has been

extended upto 05.09.2035 over the entire mining lease over 147.10 ha

by execution of supplementary lease deed on 14.07.2016. Now the

lessee is in the process of obtaining forest clearance for the balance

58.189 ha. of unbroken forest land (earlier proposed for surrender) as

well as 1.417 ha of forest land for mining purpose which was earlier

diverted for safety zone i.e; total forest land to be diverted is 59.606 ha

There is no production of Bauxite at present and also not proposed in

future. The above project is already under operation and accorded

environmental clearance to handle 4.5 million TPA by the way of 2.85

million TPA of ROM Iron ore, 1.65 million TPA of low grade iron ore from

old stacks & dumps and wet beneficiation plant of 1.44 million TPA

capacity by MoEF vide there letter number J-11015/206/2012-IA.II(M)

dated 19.11.2013. First phase of beneficiation plant in under operation

from October ,2017.




At present, the production of the mine is from excavation of Iron ore


different grade and size of ore. Low grade iron ore from old stacks &

dumps within mine lease area also crushed and screened to obtain

different fractions of ore. The low grade ore produced from the dry

crushing and screening process is upgraded through wet beneficiation

unit.

Now it is proposed to increase the production of ROM iron ore from 4.5

million TPA (2.85 million TPA of ROM & 1.65 million TPA of low grade

ore from old stacks & dumps within mine lease area) to 8.06 million TPA

(7.0 million TPA ROM excavations from mine & dry screening and

crushing of low grade iron ore of 1.06 million TPA within the lease area ).

For 7.0 million TPA ROM ore excavations from the mine a maximum

quantity of 10014960 metric tons of excavation is to be done in the year

2019-20 which includes 3014960 metric tons of overburden waste also.

There will be no ore production from the ore burden waste material to be

generated from 2018-19 till life of the mine. Approval of wet

beneficiation plant with throughput capacity of 1.44 million TPA has

already been accorded in earlier environment clearance vide letter no. J-

11015/206/2012-IA.II (M) dated 19.11.2013 and same will continue.

2.1 Identification of Project & Project Proponent (in case of mining project, a copy of mining lease/letter of intent should be given) : Increase the production of ROM iron ore from 4.5 million TPA (2.85 million TPA ROM iron ore + 1.65 million TPA dry processing of low grade iron ore from old dumps/stacks within the lease area) to 8.06 (7.0 million TPA ROM iron ore+ dry screening & crushing of 1.06 million TPA of low grade iron ore from old dumps/stacks within the lease area) over lease area of 147.10 ha by Sanindpur Iron & Bauxite Mine of M/s Rungta Sons Pvt. Ltd .The mine is having a total resource of 65.167 million tons. Another 6.27 million tons of low grade iron ore is present in form of old dump/stacks.




2.2 Brief description of nature of the project: The above mine is already an operating mine and accorded

environmental clearance to handle 4.5 million TPA which include

production of 2.85 million TPA of ROM iron ore from mine excavation,

1.65million TPA of low grade iron ore from old stacks & dumps within

lease area and installation of wet beneficiation plant of1.44 million TPA

throughput capacity by MoEF vide there letter number J-

11015/206/2012-IA.II (M) dated 19.11.2013.

Now, the project proponent wishes to increase the production of ROM

Iron ore from 2.85 million TPA to 7.0 million TPA & dry screening &

crushing of 1.06 million TPA of low grade ore from old stacks/dumps

(total handling of 8.06 million TPA). Approval of wet beneficiation plant

with throughput capacity of 1.44 million TPA has already been accorded

in earlier environment clearance vide letter no. J-11015/206/2012-IA.II

(M) dated 19.11.2013 and same will continue.

At present the mines produce 2.85 million TPA ROM iron ore from mine

& 1.65 million TPA of low grade iron ore from old stacks/dump. First

phase of wet beneficiation plant is under operation from October 2017.

Presently, the production of the mine is from excavation of Iron ore


different grade and size of ore. Low grade ore from old stacks & dumps

within mine lease area are also crushed and screened to obtain different

fractions of ore. The low grade ore produced from the dry crushing and

screening process is upgraded through wet beneficiation unit.

The processed iron ore products are exported as well as dispatched to

domestic steel/sponge/pelletisation/sinter plants. The sized iron ore are

sent to domestic industries either through road or through Rail from

nearby railway sidings.

The capacity expansion of this mine will meet the present & future

requirement of iron ore in domestic as well as international market. The

State will also earn more revenue after expansion. The capacity




expansion will also create direct and indirect employment opportunity for

the local people.

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

Due to market demand of iron ore for domestic steel, sponge,

pelletisation and sinter industries and to meet the export demand, the

project proponent wishes to increase the production of ROM Iron ore

from 2.85 million TPA to 7.0 million TPA & dry screening & crushing of

1.06 million TPA of low grade ore from old stacks/dumps (total handling

of 8.06 million TPA). Approval of wet beneficiation plant with throughput

capacity of 1.44 million TPA has already been accorded in earlier

environment clearance vide letter no. J-11015/206/2012-IA.II (M) dated

19.11.2013 and the same will continue. The Government will earn more

revenue and more job opportunities will be created. Besides those, more

indirect employment will be generated through handling of material,

transportation, etc. which will result in economic improvement of the

people in the locality. Many people, apart from the above will get other

avenues for livelihood, which will help, in improving the economic and

social status of the people in the area.

2.4 Demand-Supply Gap: The Indian Steel industry has entered into new development stage from

2005-06, riding high on the resurgent economy and rising demand of

steel. Rapid rise in production has resulted India to become the 5th

largest producer of steel. It is estimated that, India’s steel consumption

will continue to grow at nearly 16% rate annually, fueled by the demand

of construction project. The National Steel Policy envisaged steel

production to reach 300 million tonnes by 2025. So, considering these

huge demands of iron ore for steel industries, the supply is not

sufficient. Moreover there is demand of iron ore for sponge &pelletisation




industries also. So, this project is important for partial fulfilling of

demand.

2.5 Imports Vs. Indigenous Production:

To minimize the growing import of steel in India it is necessary to

increase the indigenous production of steel. To import of raw material it

is necessary to produce more iron ore as raw material. The expansion of

the project will partially meet the demand of raw material for our

upcoming steel industry.

2.6 Export Possibilities:

China, Korea& Japan being the major crude steel producer of World,

depend partly on India for iron ore as raw material. India is the 3rd

largest iron ore provider to China’s steel industry. So there is always an

export possibility of iron ore from this mine.

2.7 Domestic/Export markets: The sized iron ore from this mine has demand in domestic steel &

sponge industries. During production of lump iron ore, fines of iron ore

will be generated automatically, this iron ore fines are exported to China

as well as supplied to domestic pelletisation/sinter plants.

2.8 Employment Generation (direct & indirect) due to the project: Manpower:

Existing and proposed

Present employment in the mine is 353. Besides direct employment, 400

persons are now indirectly employed in contract jobs and transportation

jobs which are mainly extended to the local tribes. Expected indirect

employment after expansion is 530 in contract and transportation jobs.




3.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION:

3.1 Type of project including interlinked and interdependent

projects, if any:

In Sanindpur mine, ROM iron ore (lump + fines) will be produced from

the mine by mechanized method of excavation of the quarry by

excavator, tipper, deep hole drilling, blasting, rock breakers, etc. ROM

ore from mines & low grade ore from stack/dump is further processed by

dry screening, crushing and magnetic separation.

3.6 Raw Material required along with estimated Quantity, likely source, marketing area of final products, mode of Transport of raw material & finished product.

It is a mining project to produce iron ore. Low grade iron ore from this

mine will be dry or wet processed to get saleable ore.

Iron Ore is having a very good market in India & abroad. So after

production, it is immediately saleable to beneficiation plant/sinter/

sponge and steel industry present in Odisha, Jharkhand, M.P.,

Chhattisgarh and other parts of India. China, Korea& Japan are the

major buyers from abroad.

Within the Mine both Iron Ore & Waste Materials will be transported

through tippers of capacity 35 MT. The sized Iron Ore and Fines are

transported to railway sidings at Barsuan, Rengra, Barbil, etc. through




Tippers/ dumpers of capacity 10 MT/20 MT. From railway siding, Iron

Ore is transported to buyer’s destination or port by rake. Some

quantity of Iron Ore is also supplied to the Seaport or buyers

destination by trucks from the mines through road.

3.7 Resources optimization/recycling and reuse envisaged in the

project, if any, should be briefly outlined.

As discussed earlier the low grade ore will be processed at wet

beneficiation plant to recover marketable grade of iron ore. The water

for wet beneficiation will be recycled for conservation and only make

up water on daily basis will be used.

3.8 Availability of water its source, Energy/Power requirement and

source:

Water requirement:

The project proponent has applied to the Department of Water Resources (DOWR), Govt. of Odisha for allocation of 2265KLD of surface water from Suna Nadi for industrial use/environmental maintenance and 150 KLD of ground water for drinking and domestic use in phased manner. At present, the permission from DOWR, Govt. of Odisha for drawal of 1178 KLD of surface water from Suna Nadi and 110 KLD of ground water in 1st phase is available with the lessee. The permission for balance quantity is under process with Govt. of Odisha. The requirement of water after proposed expansion will be 3209 KLD (2959 KLD of surface water for industrial use/environmental maintenance + 250 KLD of ground water for drinking and domestic use only). The project proponent has already received NOC from Central Ground Water Authority, Ministry of Water resources, River Development and Ganga Rejuvenation, Govt. of India for withdrawal of 250 KLD of ground water.

Energy power requirement:

The machineries will be operated either through electricity or through H.S.D.

details are given below.




The electricity is supplied to the project by WESCO at 33 KV transformer

having capacity of 6 MVA inside leasehold area for operation of wet

beneficiation plant as well as mining activities. The present Contract

Demand is 3790 KVA/3410 KW. At 11 KV system there are 3 nos. 2 MVA

transformers for plant operation and one 315 KVA transformer for mining

operation and 1 MVA transformer for Residential camp. For further extension

of 2nd phase of wet beneficiation plant the required power load is 3000 KW

which is in process.

There are 3 nos. of generators of capacity 320 KVA, 140 KVA and 50 KVA

available inside the lease area for operation of plant, mines and office

respectively. The project proponent has installed a solar power support

system of 30 KWH to provide electricity in the office and camp area.

H.S.D. requirement: Present requirement of H.S.D is 500000Liters/year.

For the envisaged increase in production total H.S.D. requirement will be

around 890000Liters/year.

3.9 Quantity of waste to be generated (Liquid and solid) and scheme for their management. Solid Waste Management:

The waste materials of Sanindpur Iron &Bauxite Mines are mainly

laterite, lateritic Iron ore (Fe<45%), BHQ, BHJ, shale, lateritic soil etc.

Total 25,60,646 m3 of waste material is available in the existing

dumps. It is anticipated that 85,60,200 m3 of waste and 14,26,707 m3

dry slime will be generated from 2018-19 upto the end of the life of

the mine. Approximately 15,75,000 m3 waste materials of this mine

will be dumped in waste dumping site and balance 69,85,200 m3

quantity of the waste material will be used for backfilling of exhausted

quarry and will be rehabilitated by native plant species to develop

greenery.




Previously, the grade of waste material was considered as below 58%

Fe, but at present the grade of waste material is fixed as below 45%.

So, the old waste of Sanindpur mines at present is considered as low

grade non-saleable ore.

(1) The waste dumping site are already surrounded by retaining wall

and garland drain. Further, construction of retaining wall and

garland drain will be done as per requirement.

(2) The waste dumps are developed by making terraces of height

of 8m to 12m, width 8 m to 12 m.

(3) Rain cuts developed along old dump slopes are leveled and

maintained properly by planting saplings and grass. Catch drains

are constructed to prevent rain cut.

(4) Garland drains at the toe of the dump are connected with

series of settling tanks (5 numbers of different capacities) which

allow the settling of silt in it. The garland drain have check

weirs/waffle wall at regular interval to check flow of silt/debris.

(5) Till date 11.78 hectares of dump slope area has been covered

with coir mat/Geo-green blanket & with plantation of native

species & grass seeding.
