g) Geological Sections on natural scale at suitable interval across the lease area or

applied area

Geological traverses in the mine and existing mining pits in the vicinity facilitated to access the shape and size of the deposit in the area. It

is a part of mound deposit rising 1 M above ground level within the quarry leased applied area (The lowest contour is 99 M and highest

contour is 100 M).

Method of Estimation of Reserves

The exposed reef with Quartz and Feldspar outcrops indicating fairly continuous deposition of the

pegmatite body with quartz as major component compare to feldspar. The volume of the deposit is

computed by Cross Sectional Area method by multiplying the Sectional Influence

The deposit is found to be irregular in shape. Hence cross sectional method adopted for Estimation of

Geological Reserves. 3 Sections A-A1 to C-C1 were drawn at equal distance perpendicular to the strike

direction of the formation to estimate the reserves (Plate – III).

The cross sections were drawn perpendicular to the strike direction, the cross sectional area of the

individual sections are calculated to arrive at sectional area, the area thus arrived is multiplied by the

sectional influence of 40 M (average) to arrive the volume of deposit.

Since the Quartz and Feldspar are exposed to the nature are exhibiting minor contamination of Fe (Iron).

Hence, the recovery percentage for Quartz is considered at the rate of 60% and Feldspar at 30%.

i) Type of exploration used to confirm the deposit:

Exposed pit is in the orientaion of NE & SW direction is clearly visible & So the trend of the deposit is in same direction ,So we estimated the reserves with the data available at the site .

j) Reserves and Resources as per UNFC. Detailed calculation of reserves shall be stated

The reserves are estimated by multiplying the cross sectional area with the influence distance of

section, tonnage factor (T.F) and recovery factor (R.F). The tonnage factor of Quartz is considered

as 2.7 and Feldspar is considered as 2.6.

The intercalated waste from the joints in Quartz, which are rejects considered @ 15% of the ROM,

recovery factor saleable ore is taken as 85%.

The tonnage tonnage factor of Quartz is considered as 2.7 and Feldspar is considered as 2.6 and

recovery factor saleable ore is taken as 85%.

The reserves upto 15 M below the surface are considered under Proved Category of Reserves (Upto RL

70 M) (Plate – III).

Hence, only G1 (Proved) scale category as (111) code is calculated. No resources are considered under

G2 & G3 (Probable & Possible) scale of exploration.

Applicant didn't produce any chemical analysis certificate from the laboratory , Hence according

to RUTLYES ELEMENTSOF MINEROLOGY the specific gravity is mentioned as :

SPEECIFIC GRAVITY OF QUARTZ = 2.7

SPEECIFIC GRAVITY OF FELDSPAR = 2.6

3. MINING

a) Open Cast Mining

i) Description of existing / proposed method for excavation with all design parameters

indicating on plans / sections

The method of mining shall be opencast and semi-mechanized on single shift basis. Excavations shall be carried out by Jack Hammer

drilling and blasting. Bench height and width will be maintained at 6 m and 6 m each respectively with overall slope at 60°. Excavation

and loading shall be carried out with simple excavators of capacity 0.9 to 1.1 cu.m bucket capacity. This shall be utilized for

developmental work, excavation and loading into the trucks. Tippers of 10 T capacity shall be utilized for all transportation purposes.

The firm intends to extract the Quartz and Feldspar production to the tune of 7,837.20 MT

of Quartz per annum and 3,918.60 MT of Feldspar per annum production to the tune of

during the first five years of the plan period.

Capacity of Quartz & Feldspar raising per annum = 18,724.50 MT

(Maximum Production)

No of Working Days considered = 300 of quarry operation

Total required quantity of excavation per Annum = 20,805.00 MT

Total required quantity per day = 69.35 MT per day

The opencast mine operations consist of four major operations viz. drilling, blasting, loading and transport

ii) Drilling and Blasting

DRILLING MACHINE :

Drilling Parameters for Quartz & Feldspar :

Burden (B) : 2.50 meter

Spacing (S) : 3.00 meter

Depth (Includes sub grade drilling) (D) : 6.0 meter

The angle of inclination should less than 78° to 82°. Sub grade Drilling + 8 % of the depth of the

bench. (6 meter + 0.48 =6.48 Or Say 6.5 meter)

In-situ density : 2.5

Yield per hole : B X S X D X 2.5



Page – 25

: 2.5 x 3.00 x 6.00 x 2.5 = 112.50 MT

Yield per meter : 112.50 / 6 = 18.75 Or Say 19 MT

Drilling required for planned ROM = 20,805.00 / 19 = 1,095 meters / annum

(Maximum ROM)

Technical Specification of diesel driven portable compressor :

Compressor capacity : 600 cfm

Compressor output capacity : 10 .5 kg/cm2

Wagon Drill : 54 mm Ø (Pneumatic)

Working pressure on hammer : 150 lbs

Average drilling output per hour : 12 meters

Total Hours required for planned production : 1,095 / 12 = 91.25 Hours / Annum

: 91.25 / 10 = 9.125 Hours / Month

Effective working hours per day from 8 am to 6 pm is 8 hours

Number of drilling days required per month = 9.125 / 8 = 1.14 Or Say 1 Day

By considering 80 % availability of men & machinery, One DTH drilling units, having 54 mm Ø is

adequate to meet out the targeted production during the plan period.

Note: As far as, the strata condition in the mined area was medium / low in situ density, the drilling

in the waste has to be performed in micro level.
