Mining Method

Semi mechanised opencast method operations are planned to be carried out partly

manually and partly by deploying machinery that poclain is to be deployed for removal.

Laterite production will be obtained by opencast mining exposed single bench height is 6m

each. A safe slope angle will be maintained throughout the mining operator. Apart from this

mechanization is required for this mining.

Year Wise Development & Production:

1st Year: It is proposed to raise about 135728 tons of Laterite in the first year with 300

working days from this area. In this one bench proposed for along the section X-X' and

bench height is 6m and width is 7.5m. In the year waste material of 7144 tons will be

obtained by advancing the bench from West to East.

2nd Year: It is proposed to raise about 112894 tons of Laterite in the 2nd year with 300

working days from this area and proposed a single bench towards west side along section X-

X' and bench height is 6m and width is 7.5m. In the year waste material of 5942 tons will be

obtained by working towards east.

3rd Year: It is proposed to raise about 113476 tons of Laterite in the 3rd year with 300

working days from this area and proposed a single bench towards west to east side along

section X-X' and bench height is 6m and width is 7.5m in below second year working. In the

year waste material of 5972 tons will be obtained.


A-5

4th Year: It is proposed to raise about 308632 tons of Laterite in the 4th year with 300

working days from this area and proposed a single bench towards east to west side along

section X-X' and bench height is 6m and width is 7.5m in below three year working area. In

the year waste material of 16244 tons will be obtained.

5th Year: It is proposed to raise about 258586 tons of Laterite in the 5th year with 300

working days from this area and proposed a single bench towards west to east side along

section X-X' and bench height is 6m and width is 7.5m in below three year working area. In

this year waste material of 13610 tons will be obtained. During the plan period total

recovery 95% of production 929317 Tons of Laterite and remaining 5% is 48911 Tons of

waste mineral will be available. Year wise production and waste generation details are
