Chapter 1

INTRODUCTION

The growing demand of Bauxite and Iron has made it imperative

to Directorate of Geology and Mining M.P. to envisage an investigation

for the search of Bauxite and Iron ore bearing patches in the

predominantly laterite capping over Amarkantak Group. The Mines &

Minerals (Development and Regulation) Act, 2015 rendered all the

pending M. L. and P.L. applications ineligible. The mineral concessions

will have to be awarded through auction route only. More so, 31 more

minerals were notified as minor minerals. Large no. of PL applications

were pending in Dindori district.

The district is known for its laterite and Bauxite deposits. Baghreli

Sani area was scrutinized after initial inspection. The mining officer of the

district reported one ineligible PL application of laterite/Bauxite in

Baghreli Sani area. Thus, the area was undertaken for G3/G2 level

investigation in the Field Season 2017-18, so that the area can be

auctioned for mineral concession. The brief of the ineligible PL

application is as below:

1. Village: Baghreli Sani

2. Tahsil: Bajag

3. District: Dindori

4. Khasra No: 156,159,160, 161, 162, 163, 164, 165,166, 167,

Location & Approach: -

Baghreli sani is a small village/ hamlet in Bajag Tehsil, Dindori

District of Madhya Pradesh State, India. It comes under Bhursi mal

Panchayat. It belongs to Jabalpur Division. The total geographic area of

the village is around 270.07 hectares. The area under investigation falls lie

the Survey of India toposheet No. 64F/6.

It is located at about 58 KM towards South of District headquarters

Dindori can be approach from Dindori – Pandaria (Kawardha) road. It is

about 9 km south of Bajag Tehsil headquarter. Nearby railway station is

Pendra Road railway station which is at about 65 km and Anuppur railway

station 73 km away from investigation area. (PLATE-1)

Topography of the area: -

Topographical features of the area serve a good physiographic

guide of the Bauxite/laterite deposits of the area. The surveyed area in an

isolated irregular ellipsoidal shaped hill and mounds with surrounding

other flat terrain. The height of the individual peaks from the ground level

is from10 – 12m.

Climate: -

The climate is, in general, is warm and humid (sub - tropical). The

average annual rainfall is about 1200 mm, with the heaviest rainfall in the

month of July and August. December and January are the coldest months,

where temperature drops to freezing point, whereas May and June are

hottest with temperatures rise to + 450 C.

Drainage: -

Narmada river is the principal drainage in the area which flows

from east to west. It is fed by many small non-perennial streams and

Nala’s. The drainage pattern is, in general, sub-dendritic to radial.

Flora and Fauna: -

Regionally, the area is awned with thick Sal and Teak. In the plains

and the adjoining forest areas, the common species of plant and trees are

Mahua (Baniacati-folia), Babul (Acacia Arabica,) Teadu

(Dhospyromalonocylon), Jaamun (Bugeria-jambo Lana), Mango

(Mangifea-Indica), Kim (Melia-indica), Pipal (Ficus-religisoa), Saja

(Termi-nulia-tomentasa), Bija (Petrocarpasmausuplun), Teak, Behera-T.

beleuica), Harra (T. chebula) etc.

The wild animals found in open and forest areas are Fox (valpes-

bengalensis), Bear (MelursusUrsinus), Barking Deer (Cervulusmuntiae),

Spotted deer (Cervulus-axis), Sambhar (Cerulesuniolor), wild dog

(cyondukhunesis), Nilgai (Portaxpictus) etc.

Soil of the area: -

The red lateritic soil is the commonest soil in mounds hills and

ridges where as black cotton soil is prevalent in flat terrains. It is derived

from weathering of country rock i.e. Deccan trap Basalt.

Regional Geological Set-up: -

The area is underlain by various geological formation ranging in

age from Archean to Recent. The general Geological Succession

occurring in the Dindori region is tabulated below:-

Local Geology of the Area: -

Geologically the region comprises of Deccan traps and

recent formation. However major part of Dindori region is occupied by

Deccan traps. The area is an idiosyncratic Deccan Trap basaltic country.

The lava sequence consists mainly of pahoehoe flows which are simple

and nonporphyritic. Another interesting phenomenon is that these isolated

peaks are domal/ messa, butte type forms. The geological set up of the

area can be summarized as below:

Recent to sub recent Soil and alluvium

Page 7 of 22

The Deccan Trap: -

These cretaceous Eocene age rocks are representing by wide

stretched of Deccan trap basalt covering major part of Dindori area. The

traps are vary from fine grained compact basalt to high vesicular are often

filled partially or wholly by the secondary minerals. The top flows of

traps are generally vesicular and in various stage of weathering they have

been eroded.

Laterite: -

Laterite is a kind of vesicular clays rock essentially composed of a

mixture of a hydrated oxide of alumina and iron with often a small

percentage of other oxides. The Pleistocene formation in the region is

represented by the lateritic entity mainly restricted to the higher altitude

due to its mode of formation. The laterite is dark brown to reddish brown

with yellow clayey and cream sandy patches, hard, vesicular to pisolitic

and bouldery in nature. It is highly ferruginous and at places contains

reddish pink to grey bauxitic nodules. The upper most laterite layer has

weathered out and spread out on slopes. It seems that eroded uppermost

layer was probably pisolitic. There are two horizons of pisolitic laterite;

one on the top, which is completely eroded and the other beneath the

vesicular and brecciated one.

Alluvium: -

The study area is filled by recent aluminous materials particularly

in the plains. The thickness of the alluvium deposits as due is exposed

and the variation depend upon the deposition area.

CHAPTER - 2

DETAILS OF WORK DONE

Bauxite is the only source material for aluminum. The Bauxite

deposits of Dindori dist. is are one of the most promising ores. The

investigated area lies in Survey of India toposheet no. 64 F/6. The

investigation was conducted in the following disciplines:

(i) Reconnaissance Survey: 40 km2 (1:50000)

(ii) Detailed Mapping: 0.64 km

2 (1:4000)

(iii) Drilling: 2 Boreholes/19.15M

(iv) Pitting: 20 pits/159 M3

These are described below:

(i) Reconnaissance Survey: -

Keeping in mind, the increasing demand for the metal, the

Directorate of Geology and Mining, M.P. initiated reconnaitory surveys

for locating potential area of occurrence of the laterite/Bauxite ore. The

area around Baghreli Sani was cross traversed and surveyed. It is

bounded between Latitudes (22037’5.41” to 22

037’33.28”) and longitude

(81020’38.18” to 81

021’7.68”) and lies in Survey of India Toposheet No.

64 F/6. The area is encompassed by basaltic flows of Deccan Trap of

Amarkantak group. The laterite Caps over high hill ranges and peaks. The

generalised geological set up of the surveyed area can be represented as

Page 9 of 22

The surveyed area is ubiquitous Deccan Trap basaltic country. It is

traversed by high hill ranges and is a part of Amarkantak plateau. The

basalt is dark grey to greenish black, hard, vesicular and boulders. The

upper flows are weathered to great extent. The Bauxite concretions,

fragments and boulders are spread over the hill slopes and intermixed

with black soil and weathered mantle. In the surveyed area, barring hill

ranges, the laterite capping is irregularly present in form of scattered

isolated peaks in the revenue land. The float laterite is also dispersed in

hill slopes. It is, in general, dark brown to reddish brown, hard, vesicular,

pisolitic and brecciated and bouldery in nature. The aluminous laterite

and Bauxite is encrusted within this laterite matrix. (PLATE-2)

During the course of reconnaissance survey, some areas were seen

in Toposheet No. 64 F/6. Some are listed below:

a. Bona Area: - (220 42’ 03”: 81

0 14’09”): The area is in form of raised

ground, where outcrops of laterite were seen. The area is a forest village.

The laterite is brown to dark brown to pinkish brown, hard, vesicular and

bouldery. One sample was collected and the result is tabulated below-

A. I./ SiO2 Fe2O3 Al2O3 TiO2 L.O.I.

15.58 48.50 20.36 1.97 11.95

b. Tarach area: - (220 36’ 07”: 81

0 21’53”): In the area the

laterite/Bauxite were seen in form of boulders. The area is also a forest

village, the laterite is brown to dark brown to pinkish brown, hard,

vesicular and bouldery. One sample was collected and the result is

tabulated below-

A. I./ SiO2 Fe2O3 Al2O3 TiO2 L.O.I.

Page 10 of 22

Another area like village Chada, Jhilan, Shitalpani, etc in which the

mineralization was seen but all these areas also comes in the forest land.

(ii) Detailed Mapping: -

The detailed outcrop mapping was done on village map (1:4000).

The grid was laid down on 100X100 M interval with the help of Total

Station Machine. Geographical features like village, road, temple and

hamlets were marked in map. Mapped area is in form of two isolated

peaks with intervening subdued portion. The highest point of the area lies

in the south-west part (850M.). The slope on the southern portion is steep

as compare to northern side whereas eastern and western slopes are

gradual.

The entire area seems to be mineralized as insitu Bauxitic boulders,

nodules lies on the mount top whereas slopes are covered with float

entity. The area was demarcated on the basis of outcrops and pits. The

pits were design in such a way to surface out the mineralized zone. The

Bauxite is reddish brown to Pinkish Brown with yellow clayish and gray

sandy patches. The Bauxite boulders are encrusted with in reddish to pink

bauxitic matrix which seems to be resultant of weathering of insitu

Bauxite. The average thickness of Bauxite capping ranges from 0.5 to

2.0M with an average of 1.5 M. The hill slopes are covered with float ore.

This float entity is also significant and could not be ignored.

Beside this, the area in the middle of A and B sub block and

eastern and southern part of C sub block was also marked for ancillary

purpose as per provision of The Mineral (Auction) Rules, 2015. Thus the

total area marked for ancillary purpose is about 3.447 Hect.

(iii) Drilling: -

One Jeep mountain drill machine, Drill No. 49 was employed for

drilling work. Two boreholes; BBH 1 and BBH 2 were drilled (Annexure

1). The boreholes BBH 1 were planted on the southern highest point of

the mound and BBH 2 on the northern highest point of the hill slope. The

summary is given below:

Borehole No. Location Meterage

Achieved

BBH 1 R. P. W1 50m to south

22037’11.106”N 81020’49.014” E

8.05 M

BBH 2 N2W1 50m to North

22037’20.022”N 81020’49.074” E

11.10 M

In Baghreli Sani the depth of the bore hole BBH-1 was 8.05m,

where 0.00 to 0.06m Reddish brown soil, 0.60 to 1.50m Reddish brown

fragment the product of weathered Laterite Bauxite, 1.50 to 3.05

weathered Reddish brown to pinkish brown color ferruginous matrix has

found. After that 3.05 to 5.00 brownish red sludge that 5 to 8.05m grey to

dark grey hard fragments of laterite and clay patches has seen than the

bed rock with weathered material appeared. (Please see Plate no. 4 for

lithograph of Borehole).

The other bore hole BBH-2 in Baghreli Sani area has been done on

the top portion of the hill. In which 0.00 to 1m. Pinkish brown to pink red

brown Bauxite/laterite has found, 1.00 to 3.05 brownish red sludge occur

than 5 to 8.05m reddish brown to dark brown mass and clay patches has

Page 12 of 22

been seen. After 8.05m. In transitional zone laterization with trap and

brown soil has been seen. The core recovery is poor in laterite/Bauxite

zone due to weathered nature and inadequate drill accessories. Thus the

pitting work was preformed to assess the quality and quantity of

mineralized Zone. The analysis results exhibit presence of low grade

Bauxite.

(iv) Pitting: -

This constitutes the most important part of the investigation. Total

20 pits dug in the area and about 159 M3

material was excavated. The pits

were planned as per topography and exposure to cover the whole area and

to unearth the hidden mineralized entity and also to see the grade and

behavior of Bauxite. The Pit interval ranges from 50 to 100M. The pits

were usually of the size of 2 M×2 M and the tried to dig it till the

bedrock. Some of the pits could not be dig up to bedrock due to hard

nature of laterite. It is evident that the thickness is more on the southern

side. The Bauxite is brown to reddish brown with yellow clayey and light

grey to cream sandy patches. It is hard, brecciated, vesicular and boulder

in nature. The presence of basalt was marked on the northern, eastern and

western slopes. Some of the pits were not sampled due to relatively poor

presence of either insitu or float entity, (The summary of pitting operation

is tabulated in Annexure no. 2 along with Alumina Percentage)

Pit no. 1 and 2 were dug in the middle west portion of the hill. In

which the 0.5m layer of soil and then till 1.5m Bauxite was found with

the associated with lateritic boulders and soil. In the between these two

pits a along depression has found. Pit no. 3 was dug in the Western

periphery of hill. In which Bauxite matrix got up to a depth of 1.40m. Pit

Page 13 of 22

no. 4 situated in N-W direction of the hill. In which the mineralization of

Bauxite was observed up to 1 meter. Pit no. 5 was dug on same direction

on hill in which 0.8m mineralization 0f Bauxite was seen. After 0.8m due

to the presence of laterite hard boulders the pit not be dug. Pit no. 6 lie in

South periphery of the hill and mineralization was seen 0.8 to 1m in the

form of small boulder of laterite/Bauxite associated with soil.

mineralization of Bauxite in pit no. 7 and 1.3m in pit no. 8,9 was seen. Pit

no. 10 was dug on North West portion of the hill in which1.6m

mineralization occur. Pit no. 11 lie towards the south West direction and

mineralization was seen about 1.00 to 1-2 mts only. Pit no.12 and 16 were

dug on S-E periphery and, they were mineralized up to 1M. Pit no. 13 lie

on middle portion of the hill which is mineralized up to 1m. pit no. 14

was dug in middle east direction in which mineralization was seen up to

1m only. Pit no. 15 dug on South part of the hill and mineralization up to

1m. Pit no. 17 was dug on middle part of the hill top and around 1.30m

mineralization of Bauxite was seen. Pit no. 18 lie on South portion slope

which is mineralized up to 0.6M. Pit no. 19-20 dug in N-E slope portion

of the hill area. In which reddish brown soil has found.

Trap was found on south portion l. Some pits could not be dug up

to bedrock due to hard nature of Bauxite/ laterite e.g. pit no. 05 could be

dig only up to 1m due to hard nature of laterite/ Bauxite found here in the

form of big boulders. It is clear from the pitting operations that the insitu

low grade Bauxite lies on the hill. Thus on the basis of pitting,

mineralized zone was marked the thickness of mineralization of Bauxite

varies, are on an average is 1.5 M. Thus, overall the Bauxite fall into the

category of low grade Bauxite. They are probably resultant of the

continuous cycle of residual weathering of the basaltic rocks. Bauxite is

found generally as lensoidal masses within laterite matrix. The Bauxite is

pinkish red to brown and earthy yellow in color associated as small

boulder and concretion fragments with in degraded and disintegrated

matrix. (Please see Plate No. 3 for pit wall sections.)

Sampling:-

The five major chemical constituents i.e. Al2O3, Fe2O3, SiO2, TiO2

and LOI including Na2O and K2O ask were for chemical analysis. The lab

was also asked to determine REE. The bore hole core, were splitted in to

two halves, one part is preserved and kept in core box for reference and

the other part was coned and quartered and powdered to 100 mesh. Same

as surface and pit samples were collected and prepared after than Two set

were made, one part was sent to departmental chemical laboratory for

analysis and other part of the samples was saved for future reference. The

samples were sent to departmental laboratory Jabalpur. The REE could

not be determined due to lack of instrument. In this way 4 samples were

prepared from bore holes 01 chip sample and 19 composite samples were

prepared from pits. The Bauxite portion of the pits were coned and

quartered and was taken as composite samples to aspect the average

analysis of that particular area of influence of pits. The average chemical

analysis of bore holes and pits samples is tabulated below:

CHEMICAL ANALYSIS INTERPRETATION

The samples were collected during surface mapping, pitting

operations and also drawn from the borehole cores. A comparative

account of the chemical analysis interpretation is given below:

i. Surface Samples: One sample was collected during detailed mapping

of the area. The results exhibit presence of low grade aluminous Bauxite

in the area. Here A.I. /SiO2 3.62%, Fe2O3 8.00%, Al2O3 52.85%, and

TiO2 6.89%.

ii. Borehole Core Samples: -Two boreholes were drilled; their cores

were logged as per their physical characteristics and 4 samples (2 from

BBH 1 and 2 from BBH 2) were prepared. Their analysis results indicate

presence of low grade Bauxite in the area. The analysis results are

summarized below:

Baghreli sani area. They are probably resultant of the continuous cycle of

residual weathering of the basaltic rocks. Bauxite is generally found as

lensoidal mass within laterite matrix.

RESOURCES ESTIMATION.

The resource estimation was a hard task in Bauxite. On the basis of

boreholes drilled and the pits, the mineralized area was demarcated. On the

prospecting area low grade Bauxite was seen in the insitu form, where the

average thickness of the mineralized area is around 1.5m, it has been

assumed by the observation of boreholes drilled, pits and the assumption of

surrounding area of influence. The inclusive area method was employed for

assessment of resources. The area of each sub block was multiplied by

average thickness of that particular mineralized zone to arrive at the volume.

The volume was reduced to 35% to compensate for voids and spaces. This

volume was multiplied by specific gravity to calculate the mineral resource.

The area was each sub block was rechecked with khasra schedule.

The following criterion have been employed for the assessment of

Bauxite/laterite resources-

1. The thickness of insitu low grade Bauxite was assessed from the pits at

various level of hill and hill slopes on grids laid down in the area. On the basis

of the observation of the dig pits and bore hole data, the average thickness of

mineralized zone is taken as 1.5M. and this uniform thickness was assumed

in the entire area of sub blocks to arrive at the volume.

2. During the pitting work boulder samples were collected from the pits which

cover only about 35% of volume was consider for resource estimation to

compensate for voids and space.

3. Specific gravity of 2.3 was assumed to calculate the resources.

4. The average Al2O3 % was drawn from the pits and two boreholes averaged for

the whole sub block. The Al2O3 % was averaged for pits and bore holes falling in that

sub blocks or lie in the area of influence of those pits.

5. The zone of insitu Bauxite was segregated into the area available for

mineral concession and the restricted area as per prevailing norms restricted

coordinates of borehole etc.)

Drill type: jeep mounted type core drilling

machine was employed for drilling. Two

boreholes were drilled with a total meterage of

19.15m. Bx core was obtained. The cores were

logged as per their physical characteristics.

The core recovery is poor in bauxite zone due

to weathered nature and inadequate drill

accessories.

(b) Whether core and chip sample

recoveries have been properly

recorded and result assessed.

Yes. Proper caution was taken to maximize

the Core recovery. The borehole cores were

properly logged and recorded and the results

were assessed accordingly. As the core

recovery is poor in bauxite zone thus pitting

operation was preferred to ensure more

volume available for sampling.

(c) Measures taken to maximize

sample recovery and ensure

representative nature of the

samples.

Yes. The technical staff was well experienced

and well versed in the mineral exploration

operations. At times, core catchers etc were

also employed to recover the cores.

for resource estimation.

(c) The basis of the

classification

the mineral of resources

into

varying confidence

categories.

The mineral resource of the area can be categorised

in to G-2 level of exploration to confirmed with the

mineral auction rule 2015

(d) The assumption made

regarding recovery of by-

products.

Not applicable.

(e) Detailed description of the

method used and the

assumption made to

estimate

tonnages and grade

(section,

polygon, inverse distance,

Geostatistical or other

method).

it has been assessed by the observation of drilled

boreholes & pits and continuity in surrounding area

of influence. The inclusive area method was

employed for assessment of resources. The area of

each sub block was multiplied by average thickness

of that particular mineralized zone to arrive at the

volume. The volume was reduced to 35% to

compensate for voids and spaces. This volume was

multiplied by specific gravity to calculate the

mineral resource.

(f) Description of how the

geological interpretation

was

used to control the resource

Estimates.

half of the distance between two boreholes and pits

was taken to ensure continuity of the mineralized

zone,

(g) Discussion of basis for

using or

not using grade cutting or

capping. If a computer

method was chosen,

description of

Programmes and

parameters.

Determination of grade is based on the detailed

chemical analysis results of borehole core and pit

samples.

(h) Geostatistical methods are

extremely varied and

should be described in

detail. The method chosen

should be justified. The

geostatistical

parameters, including the

variogram and their

compatibility with the

Geostatistics to similar

deposits should be taken

into account.

Not done.

(i) Data verification and/or

validation procedures used

The area was each sub block was rechecked with

khasra schedule to verify.

16 Further Work. The successful bidder will have to carry out G1

level of exploration.

17 Annexure/enclosures to the

report.
