Details regarding topography geology, mineable reserves, and production

details, Method of mining and extent of mechanization are given below;

3.5.1 Topography: Topographically the subject area is a plane land and small elongated outcrops of

Granatic terrains occurred here and there.

3.5.2 Regional Geology: The Regional Geology around the lease area covered by toposheet no 65 K/7

consists of charnokites and migmatites group of rocks of Eastern ghats mobile

belt of Archean age. The subject area consists of Migmatite rocks.

3.5.3 Local Geology: The accessory minerals are fine to medium in grain and formed around the

elongated feldspar crystals due to that in hand specimen and migmatite rock is

looking attractive in nature. The rocks can be useful for cutting and polishing

purposes as colour granite.

12


3.5.4 Geological Reserves: Geological traverses in the quarry and the study of exposures in the quarry

facilitated to access the shape and size of the deposit in the area. It is a plain

terrain sheet rock deposit exposed up to ground level. The surface of sheet rock

is wavy and gradually undulated.

The exposed granite deposit is found to be irregular in shape, the volume of the

deposit is computed by cross sectional area method by multiplying the cross

sectional area with Proved 20m, Probable 20m and Possible 20m depth from

the top RL.

3.5.5 Life of the Mine:

Total Mineable Reserves = 184610/4400 = 42 Years

Production per Year

3.5.6 Method of Mining: The colour granite in the quarry lease applied area is exposed on the surface

with boulders. Hence, it is proposed to mine the boulders sheet by open cast,

semi mechanized methods, by developing the branches of 6m height in 2

phases of 3m each. Wire saw cutting will deployed based on the favorable

conditions. The development of benches in the sheet rock will be maintained

@ 600 safety slopes.

13


The separation of blocks from the mother rock will be carried out by drilling,

wedge cutting, blasting, excavation will be done by the machinery.

The secondary splitting, dressing of blocks will be done manually.

Therefore mining operations are to be carried out in this area in 2 stages.

1. Development

2. Production.

Stage – 1

The removal of weathered and under sized boulders will be cleared in the

quarry lease applied area for the next five years by using excavator.

Rock Splitting/Wedging:

Thus 20’ x 20 to 40’ x 20’ to 40’ mass will be separated from mother rock. Then

horizontal holes will be drilled at the bottom of the bench, by wedging or

blasting with water cartridges and cardex fuse, bottom separation will be

achieved.

Splitting the mass:

For splitting the mass from mother rock the line drilling and wedging method

is in use; with jack hammers and this waste will be dumped yard using tipper.

Stage – 2

After removal of weathered and under sized boulders.

The large boulders will be subjected to splitting into required sizes of

blocks by using Jack Hammers by drilling series of deep holes at right

angles at regular intervals, later by inserting feather and wedges in these

holes and hammering with sledge hammer will release the blocks.

The burner cutters will be deployed for shaping the boulders.

The boulders will be splitted to the required sizes with drilling and if

required by using chemical compound at the source only. The boulders

separated will be brought to the dressing yard for dressing.

If the boulders which fit into the required market grade size will be

transformed into cuboids.

14


Secondary Splitting:

After separation from the mother rock it is properly checked by washing with

water to identify defects and cracks. Based on this observation, the size is

decided and the blocks are marked and separated by drilling and wedging.

The separated pieces will be examined for defects and lines, then the block or

blocks are marked in clear area and holes are drilled along the line of marking

with the help of feathers and wedges the waste portions are separated forming

a rectangular blocks. Any bulges will be removed by drilling and wedging

making it perfect blocks. A perfect block is that all the sides shall make with

each other 900.

Dressing:

After primary separation the rock mass will be carefully examined to avoid hair

line cracks, mineral segregations and veins etc., The dressing of the rough

blocks will be made by chipping the edges and geometrically equating the

edges of the block at the dressing yard. The rough blocks obtained after

primary cut it will be dressed for obtained good geometric shape of granite.

12.0 CONCLUSION: The Granite Mining project of M/s. Silicon Rocs – 1.983 Ha at Sy.No: 61/4,

Polavaram Village, Sankavaram Mandal, East Godavari District, Andhra

Pradesh will be environmental compatible to the surrounding due to the high

standards of pollution control measures to be adopted during the operational

phase.

Environmental Management Plan will help minimize adverse impacts on the

environment. Where impacts occur, immediate action must be taken to reduce

the escalation of effects associated with these impacts.

To ensure the relevance of this document to the specific mine development

stage, it needs to be reviewed throughout all phases. Hence, it is requested that

necessary Environmental Clearance may be accorded for implementation of the

project.
