RESERVES

In the Approved Mining plan (AMP)/Scheme of Mining, volumetric method of estimation of

reserves was adopted. The total volume of pegmatite (for Mica, Felspar & quartz) was estimated

and excavated volume of pegmatite was deducted for the balance reserves.

Therefore, as per the AMP/ Scheme of Mining

The total in-situ geological reserves of Quartz and Feldspar under proved Category are 116639.55 &

93585 tonnes respectively. Considering the recovery rate as 80% for quartz and 75 % for Felspar

(due to ferruginous strains and other mining loses) the mineable reserves calculated are 93311.64

and 70188.76 tonnes of Quartz and Feldspar respectively.

The total in-situ geological reserves of Quartz and Feldspar under probable Category are 79101.0 &

66025.0 tonnes respectively. Considering the recovery rate as 80% for quartz and 75 % for Felspar

(due to ferruginous strains and other mining loses) the mineable reserves calculated are 63280.8

and 49518.75 tonnes of quartz& Felspar respectively.

The total geological reserves thus estimated in the earlier mining plan/ Scheme of Mining is 2.76

Lakh tonnes as given in the table below.

TOTAL 156592.44 119707.51 276299.95

DEPLETION OF RESERVES:

The reasons for very low production can be attributed since the mine was operating manually on a

very small scale. Also as there was not much demand for quartz and Felspar minerals, the mine was

not in operation for most part of the plan period.

The mine is also under suspension for violation of the Rule of 12 MCDR, 1988 since September,

2013.

During the year 2012-13 (the total quartz production was only150.4 T and Felspar production was

532 T. No mining activity was carried out from Sep'2013 onwards as the mine is under suspension

due to the violation of the Rule 12 MCDR, 1988.

Therefore the total production of Felspar was (1970+532) = 2502 T

The total production of quartz was only 150.4 T

Established Reserves of quartz and Felspar as per the earlier Scheme of Mining: 276299.95 T

Established Reserves of quartz as per the earlier Scheme of Mining: 156592.44 T

Quartz reserves available for the ensuing scheme of Mining:

156592.44—150.40 =156442.04 T

Established Reserves of Felspar as per the earlier Scheme of Mining:

119707.51 T

Felspar reserves available for the ensuing scheme of Mining:

119707.51—2502 = 117205.51 T

ADDITIONAL RESERVES ESTABLISHED CATEGORY-WISE.

However, based on the geological mapping, exploration and detailed Geophysical surveys

conducted in the ML area, the precise ore body ie geometry of the pegmatite body has been

delineated and proved and probable reserves have been assessed afresh for the ensuing Scheme of

Mining/future mining.

For the ensuing scheme of Mining, the total volume of pegmatite is estimated taking influence

between the sections drawn. 6 Nos. of cross sections were drawn across/ perpendicular to the

strike of the ore body with a sectional interval of 25 m between the sections. The concentration of

Mica is more near the contact of pegmatite with schist rocks especially with foot wall and gradually

decreases towards centre of the pegmatite body and therefore, the average Mica content

considered is only 3% of the pegmatite. The average % of Felspar expected from the pegmatite is

20-30%and Quartz will be 15-25% while Mica will be 2 to 7%. So, for calculation of saleable reserves

purpose the recovery of Felspar is taken as 25%, for Quartz it is 20% and Mica it is 3% from the total

pegmatite mined and the remaining 52% will be waste.

MINING:

For the ensuing Scheme of Mining it is proposed to undertake the mining with semi-

mechanized method of opencast Mining ie; other than fully Mechanized method of Mining.

In the existing quarry/ mine, the Micaceous Pegmatite is exposed as lenticular ore body with

biotite schist as foot wall and hanging walls. The pegmatite is proved to the depth of 279 m

RL and the width of ore zone ranging from 31m to 150 m.

It is proposed to work the Pegmatite ore almost in N-S direction along with strike/ apparent

strike in the ensuing scheme period.

It is easy to exploit this Pegmatite body from the exposed wall by slicing 3.0 m height in

stages of 1.5 m benches.

The height of the bench shall be 3m and width of the bench shall be minimum 1.5m, so that

the slope of the pit is maintained at 450.

The drilling in ore body &OB benches is proposed with wagon drill/ jack hammer with

compressor.

The width of the haul roads in the mine shall be 4.0m.

The mining machinery that is likely to be deployed is excavator and tippers/ tractor with

trolley for removal and transportation of ore and over burden.

The segregation of pegmatite will be manual to separate crude mica. The remaining

material will be subjected to mechanized screening and manual picking for separation

extraction of scrap mica, quartz and Feldspar.

BLASTING:

The bench height is planned to make 3 m height of 1.5 m slice each with 40 to 45o slope and 1 in 10

gradient hauling roads. The slice is 1.5 m because manual drilling will be by using wagon drill/ jack

hammer drill with compressor with 1.5 m drill rod. The blasting is being conducted to loosen the

strata and with the help of excavator, the Pegmatite will be excavated. Total quantity will be

screened at pit head. The lumps of quartz, feldspar and mica will be separated. It is expected that

the Mine has a strike length of about 163 m and a minimum of 31m and maximum width150 m.

Blasting will be done to break the pegmatite rock in respect of open cast mining. Slurry explosives,

ordinary detonators and fuses will be used for blasting.

Broad parameters of blasting:

H = Height of bench = 3 m

L = Length of drill hole = 2.5 m

B = Burden = 2.5 m

S = Spacing = 3 m

D = Diameter of the blast hole = 80 mm

ρ = Density of the explosive = 800 kg/m3

VR = Volume of broken ore = B * S * L = 2.5 * 3 * 2.5 = 18.75 m3

Explosive consumption:

VE = Volume of explosive loaded into each of the drill hole

= (π/4) * (D2) * (L – T)

D = Diameter of the hole = 80 mm = 0.0008 m

L = Length of the drill hole = 2.5 m

T = Stemming length of the drill hole = 0.7 * B 0.7 * 2.5 = 1.75 m

VE = (π/4) * (0.0008)2 * (2.5 – 1.75) = 0.0058 m3

WE =Weight of explosive req/ hole= VE*ρ =0.0058 * 800 = 4.7

Volume of Ore to be blasted=26250/2.5=10500 m3

Volume of OB to be blasted=23760 m3

Total Volume of OB+Ore to be blasted=34260 m3

Total quantity of ore blasted/hole = 18.75m3

n = Number of holes =34260/18.75=1827

Provision for additional 10% for blast failures/ Misfires=1827*1.1=2010

Total quantity of explosive required to blast 2010 number of drill holes = n * WE = 2010 * 4.7 =

9447 kg/year

Total quantity of explosive required/Month = 9447/15=630 kg/Month

EXPLOSIVE TO BE USED:

Nitrate mixture of explosive is being used and recommended for blasting.

STORAGE OF EXPLOSIVE:

The explosives are stored in the magazine fixed at Western side of the ML area. The magazine area

is fenced as per the norms prescribed by the Dept. of Explosives. The explosive license was granted

by the Dy. Controller of explosives, Dept. of explosives, Hyderabad. The mining staff specially

appointed for the purpose will handle the explosives. The accounting, issue and consumption of

explosives will be maintained by the magazine in charge.

The permitted magazine is within the mining lease area having a capacity of 100 kg storage of

Nitrate mixture along with 1500m of safety fuse and 2500 Nos. of ordinary detonators. The

Maximum safe distance from the magazine is 45m.

LIFE OF THE MINE:

The reserves have been estimated afresh as on 28.02.2015 based on the geometry of the ore body

as exposed in the quarry due to mining activity and delineation of the pegmatite ore body by

Geophysical Surveys..

The total Mineable reserves were calculated as follows:

Updated available reserves =

146114.83 = 6.08years

Targeted production/ annum 24000

CONCEPTUAL MINING PLAN:

The conceptual mining plan for the entire life of the mine covering exploration, development,

production, disposal of waste, environmental management etc., are given below.

Originally the mining lease was granted in favour of Mr V Veera Raghavulu Naidu on 02.05.1967.

Since then the Mining has been in operation in the block with intermittent/ frequent

discontinuation/ at times suspension of mining operations etc.

As the scheme of mining for the plan period 2011-12 to 2015-16 was not approved and the period

from 2011-12 to2014-15 is treated as lapsed for the current Scheme of Mining.

WASTE WATER

There will be no waste water generation due to mining activity. The only source of waste water

generation will be sanitary waste water, which will be treated in septic tank followed by soak pit.

IMPACT DUE TO VEHICULAR TRAFFIC

Maximum an average of 8 trucks per day will be required for transport of mineral. The mineral will

be transported in covered Tippers / Dumpers / trucks. Dust suppression will be taken up along the

haulage roads. Hence there will not be much impact on air environment due to transportation of

mineral.

NOISE ENVIRONMENT

The main source of noise generation will be drilling and blasting and vehicular movement. The

following noise control measures will be taken to reduce the noise impact.

Drilling precautions:

Wet Drilling will be adopted.

Use of sharp drill bits, delivery of compressed air at optimal pressure and proper

maintenance of compressor and drilling machine.

Provision of earplugs/earmuffs to drillers.

Blasting precautions:

Proper charge per delay will be regulated

Millisecond delay detonators or sequential blasting exclusively used.

Stemming column will be more than the burden to avoid blown out shots.

The machinery will be maintained properly to reduce the noise levels.

The protective noise reducing gear like earmuffs, the company will provide

earplugs to all the employees.

Plantation will be taken-up along the 7.5 m buffer area within the ML area.

SOLID WASTE GENERATION:

After blasting and segregation of the crude mica, the waste rock consists of left over scrap mica,

pegmatite material with quartz & Feldspar and the country rock- schist at the contact zone. The

waste is loaded into a Tippers /tractor traitor and driven to the dump and emptied. The pegmatite

material and the schist are not separable at development stage. The rejects of crude mica
