Wali Dhani (Tan Pratappura) of Tehsil - Khetri, District Jhunjhunu,
Rajasthan, lease area 1.00 Ha. (Enclosed copy of lease agreement as
annexure no.-1). Khasra wise details of area proposed to be granted for
mining lease is enclosed as annexure no-4). This mining Lease is situated in
Becha Wali Dhani (Tan Pratappura) of Tehsil Khetri, District Jhunjhunun
(Rajasthan) over an area of 1.00 Ha. It is proposed for mining of mineral
Masonry Stone. Mining of Masonry Stone would be carried out by open cast
benching method. The bench height will be kept up to 3 meters the width of
the bench will be always more than the height. The mining will start from
top towards bottom. Mining will be semi-mechanized.
(iii) Need for the project and its importance to the country and region
The state of Rajasthan is endowed with minor and major mineral resources.
Minor mineral is playing a pivotal role in economy of Rajasthan. Masonry
stone (Cheja Patthar) mining in the allotted area is feasible. Mineral masonry
stone (Cheja patthar) is extensively used in construction and infrastructure
projects. Proposed project of masonry stone (Cheja patthar) has the indigenous
demand. By this proposed project of masonry stone mining in the area local
people will get employment & thus will make their better living standards,
provide basic facilities such as drinking water, road, education and medical
etc. in its close vicinity. The state government will get revenue in the form of
royalty, taxes etc. and thus contribute to regional and national economy.
(iv) Demand and Supply Gap
There is large demand of masonry stone for road, railway track, building
construction etc. In past, demand was not too much but at this time demand of
Masonry stone is increasing. At present, there is constant demand of masonry
stone in the area.

Project Proponent: Shri Vinod Singh Murdia Page - 13
(v) Imports v/s Indigenous Production
As the mineral in abundance is available indigenously so the import of the
same is not required nor economically feasible being a low cast mineral.
(vi) Export possibility
Export of mineral masonry stone is not feasible. Masonry Stone can be
sufficiently absorbed in the local market, it will not be exported.
(vii) Domestic/Exports Markets
There is always an increasing demand of masonry stone in domestic markets.
(viii) Employment generation (Direct & Indirect) due to the project
By this mining project of Masonry Stone in the area, peoples will get
employment. The project directly generates the employment for the local
people and indirectly for the others. Also the marketing of the product
generates the employment for peoples. By this project, approximately 10
persons will get direct and indirect employment from the Masonry Stone
mining project.

B. Regional Geology
The area covers part of Jhunjhunun and Sikar districts of Rajasthan and a
small part in the northeast falls in Mahendragarh district of the Haryana
State. The area is well connected by roads and railway line. The Phulera
– Rewari railway line passes through the area. The area exhibits semi-
arid climate with average annual rainfall of 460mm. the area is drained
by Northerly – flowing Chandrawati River with its tributaries. Besides, a
number of ephemeral streams showing dendritic to sub-dendritic pattern
present in the area, which either join the Chandrawati River or die out in
the sandy terrain. The meta-sedimentary rocks exposed in the area
comprise meta-areanites, meta-argillites with intercalated calcareous
rocks. These belong to the Delhi Super Group (Palaeo to meso
Proterozoic). The arenaceous rocks are grouped under the Alwar group
and meta-argillites with calcareous rocks are grouped under the
Ajabgarh Group. Granite, amphibolites and other intrusive rocks are also
found in the area. The Alwar group comprises mainly massive quartzites
which are exposed in the hills in Southeastern part of the area. The
quartzite’s are massive, fine to medium grained and grey, buff or brown
colour and belongs to the Pratapgarh formation of the Alwar group. The
quartzites are showing NE-SW strike with 65 to 75 dip easterly.
Amphibolite intrudes most of rocks of the Delhi Super Group in the area
and is of wide distribution, but it is prominently seen in the vicinity of
Khetri and north of Papurna. These are two types: coarse to medium
grained and massive ones generally occurring in pellitic rocks as large
bodies, roughly parallel to regional strike and rocks. The other type is
confined to the arenaceous rocks as thin, cross-cutting dykes trending
NNW-SSE or NW-SE. these are fine grained and more closely fractured.
The amphibolites are steeply dipping to near – vertical and represent
metamorphosed basic intrusive.

Project Proponent: Shri Vinod Singh Murdia Page - 17
C. Local Geology of the area
Geologically, the rocks in the lease area are mainly Calc-gneiss
Quartzite, belonging to Ajabgarh group of Delhi Super Group.
D. Yearwise annual production of masonry stone for next five years
Table 1.3 The details of production are as follows
Year Masonry Stone (Cheja Pathar) in MT
I 1,10,400
II 1,10,400
III 1,10,400
IV 1,10,400
V 1,10,400
Total 5,52,000
E. Mineable Reserves and Anticipated Life of the Mine
All in situ reserves will not be possible to mined out as there will be
some mineral will be left un-mined i.e. in road barrier, ramp etc. it is
assumed about 10% so net mineable reserve will be:
Total mineable reserves = 697549 Tonne
The proposed rate of production for the first five years is 1,10,400 tonne
per annum. Expected life of mine on the basis of proved & probable
category of reserves from the present targeted rate of production: 697549
T/1,10,400 = 6.32 year or say 6 years.
F. Conceptual Mining Plan
Conceptual Simplified Mining Scheme is necessary to know the ultimate
limit of the pit crust at surface at the end of lease period. It is also
necessary to select the sites for waste dump, site service, plantation etc.
in such a place that these sites should not get any disturbance during the
life of mine. Considering the aforesaid aspects the conceptual plan as
follow:
Ultimate extent and size of the pit
The ultimate extent and size of the pit will be as follows:
Length of the working 151 meters
Width of the working 45 meters
Depth of the working 25 meters

Project Proponent: Shri Vinod Singh Murdia Page - 18
The final Slope angle adopted
Considering the stability of rocks the final slope angle or says ultimate
pit slope is proposed 45°. This slope angle will remain quite safe for
these deposits.
Ultimate capacity of dumps
It is a masonry stone (Cheja Pathar) mine. The maximum quantity of
stone, like lump, grit etc has market. The waste will come around 8%
towards maximum in the form of powder and weathered stone. This
waste will be used for construction and maintenance of kucha approach
road time to time. Thus, no waste will be left at site and thus waste is not
proposed to dump in the applied lease area. However a site of 0.01
hectare will be provided for temporary dump.
Stabilization of dumps
The waste dump will be stabilized by constructing a rubble stone wall of
0.5X0.5 meters in width and height towards lower altitude side of the
dumps.
Ultimate pit limit
The general ground level outside the lease area is around 400 mRL.
Proposed deepest working will be far above the ground water table. It
will be up to 404 mRL, which is far above the level of ground water
table. Thus ground water will not encounter in the workings.
G. Raw material required along with estimated quantity, likely source,
marketing area of final products/s, Mode of transport of raw
Material and Finished Product.
About 4.5 KLD water will be required for Masonry Stone mining which
will be arranged from PHED supply from village Becha Wali Dhani
(Tan Pratappura). About 500 liter diesel will be required daily for JCB &
Trucks/Dumpers which will be arranged from nearby petrol pumps.
Masonry Stone mined out will be transported through trucks & trolley.
H. Resource optimization/recycling and reuse envisaged in the project,
if any, should be briefly outlined.
Water will be accumulated in the excavated mine out pit area during
rains and pits serve as a natural ground water recharge structure. As a

result of extraction of mineral, the rate of charging of ground water is
likely to be increased considerably. Water collected in the sump will be
used in various purposes at mine viz. plantation, dust suppression etc.
I. Availability of water its source, Energy/power requirement and
source should be given.
Total water requirement in the mine will be about 4.5 KLD for drinking &
domestic use, dust suppression and plantation. Drinking water will be
brought by water tanker from nearby villages. Diesel will be used in
compressor, JCB and dumpers and tractors. About 500 liter per day is
assumed to be consumed. Diesel will be outsourced from nearby diesel
pumps. Nearby villages is well electrified.

(ix). Solid waste Management
There is no top soil in the area thus dumping yards is not required for separate
stacking of top soil. Further if any top soil found in the area can be utilized as
morrum and can be used for maintaining un-metalled road and plantations.
Depending upon the volume of generation of sub-grade mineral, arrangement
for separate dumping will be done. However in case of cheja pathar all
excavated rocks are consumed in forming grits and dust for construction.
(x). Power Requirement
Nearby village’s area is well electrified, mining machinery will be driven by
diesel power for which estimated requirement of diesel will be about 500 liters
per day which will be procured from nearby petrol pumps.
