The location of this mining area is shown on the Administrative and key plan enclosed Vide Plate
No -1 and 1A (Mining Plan) and infrastructure Plan vide Plate No. 12 (Mining Plan).
Topography: The lease is located on the slope of the hillock gently dipping towards west.
The highest elevation in this area is 567.2mRL and the lowest elevation is 490mRL. The general
slope of the lease hold area is between 13° to 22° degree.
Brief Description of the Project:
Geology:
Regional Geology:
Three main geological formations are recognised in Kerala namely, the Archaeans (oldest rocks),
the Warkalli beds of Tertiary Age (Upper Miocene to Pliocene) and the recent deposits
(quarternary). These have North-South alignment.
Crystalline Rocks
Dharwar formation: These occur in the Malabar area only. They are represented by
garnetiferous-ferruginous quartzite, mica, talc, schist etc. and are found exposed in South-East
Kannur and North West of Gudalur.
Champion gneiss: They are seen in South and South-East Kannur and have gold bearing veins.
Rocks appear to be of post peninsular age.
Peninsular gneiss: This is one of the most widespread rock types found in Kerala. The important
minerals that go to make up the rocks are quartz, Feldspars, biotite and garnite. In Cochin area,
they form the most extensive rocks. The types present are biotite and hornblende gneiss. In
Thiruvananthapuram area, the gneiss belongs to the peninsular suite and is made of quarts,
orthoclase, mica and hornblende. Charnockite and leptynites are the most common gneisses in this
area.
Charnockite: A good portion of the Western Ghats is made up of this rock. In the Travancore area
the rocks are well foliated and show intrusive relationship with peninsular gneiss. They are highly
garnetiferous as compared to the charnokites of North Kerala, where garnet is absent.
Closepet granite: Archaean intrusions of post charnockite age are found in the Malabar region.
The two intrusions of biotite granite found in Kalpetta hills and Sultan's Battery, have strong
resemblance to the Dornegneiss of Hazaribagh.

Precambrian System
Basic dykes: These rocks are fresh but fractured and mylonitised. They approach dolerite in
composition and are found to occur in South Malabar area. The basic dykes of Cochin area are
fine to medium grained and free form olivine. The more coarse grained crystalline phases are
represented by gabbros. Several exposures of gabbros are found in Cochin area.
Residual laterites: A narrow zone of lateritised rock exists to the west of crystalline rocks that
constitute the eastern boundary of the State. The rock exposed on the surface in this zone is a
type of laterite, which exhibits characteristics different from those of the laterite, which caps the
Varkalai formation. The laterite preserves the structure of the parent rock and is less compact.
Below the laterite layer is the kaolin layer, the depth of which to the undecomposed rock shows
gradation.
The warkalli formation: This represents the most conspicuous sedimentary bed occurring in
Varkala. They are best exposed at Varkala in the cliffs near the seashore. They consist of clayey
sandstone, white and variegated clay and carbonaceous clay containing thin lenses of lignite.
Most of these areas are lateritised.
Recent deposits: They are mainly developed in Northern parts of Quilon and are made up of
sand and silt. The lacustrine deposits of the backwater tracts of Kerala, the mud banks of the
coast of Alleppey and the marine beach deposits all along the sea shore of Kerala come under
the group. From the economic point of view, the area is important as it contains valuable
mineral sands.
The lease area exhibit charnokites and intrusion of closepet granites.
Local Geology:
The most of the part of area is covered with top soil of about 0.2 to 0.5m thickness, where as
granites are very well exposed in the old working pit.
A geological plan showing the granites and soil cover and the geological sections showing
subsurface geology is prepared on 1:1000 scale and enclosed vide Plate No 4 (Mining Plan).

activities shall provide socio-economic benefits to the local population with direct & indirect
employment opportunities. The project also contributes to the regional and financial benefits in
the form of Royalty, Cess, Taxes, DMF etc.
IV. Demand-Supply Gap.
Granite Building stone is an important component of the construction activities for
infrastructure development. The demand for granite building stone is increasing along with the
increase in infrastructure and construction activities in Kerala. This quarry can produce max
260,591 tonnes of building stone annually and the demand of building stone by various
industries can be partly fulfilled by this project. During last four years there is a sudden
increase in the Real estate & Port development activities which has further enhanced the
demand for building stone, hence, there is heavy requirement of granite building stone to meet
the demand supply chain.
V. Imports Vs Indigenous production
The requirements of granite building stone in infrastructure industry is huge where as the
prices of granite are relatively low. The import or export of the same is not feasible due to
heavy transportation cost. The granite building stone of size -150mm shall be transported / sold
to the crusher outside the quarry lease, where it shall be sized and sold to the local market for
infrastructure development.
VI. Export possibility.
The price of the granite is very low and the transportation cost is very high. Hence there are no
export possibilities of the same.
VII. Domestic/Export markets.
The granite building stone of size -150mm shall be transported / sold to the crusher outside the
quarry lease, where it shall be sized and sold to the local market for infrastructure
development, real estate builders, contractors, etc. and to the nearby vendors for government
infrastructure projects. It is not viable to export this material. However, there is huge demand
for the granite building stone in the domestic market.
