The Method of mining is open cast mechanized mining method using 115
mm dia. DTH Drilling and blasting. The blasted material shall be loaded into
the tippers and sent to crushing plant (located outside the Ml Area) & stock
by the help of excavator. The same excavator will also be used for handling
of waste/ rejection. Wheel loaders will be utilized for feeding to the plant
from stock and loading for dispatch as and when required.
Mining of Ore
The basic operations involved in the mining of ore are mechanically. The
interstitial waste is directly loading into tippers and transportation to the
reject dump yard. In the ore zone, the ore is directly loaded in the tippers
trucks and is dispatched to the designated places. The oversize boulders are
separately loaded and transported to SGMD stack yard for breaking
The system of working shall be mechanized opencast mining method. The
various operations involved are.
a) Drilling- 115mm dia DTH drill shall be used for the purpose. The
burden and spacing shall be kept 3 m and 3.5 m respectively.
b) Blasting - To blast the drilled holes slurry explosives and Ammonical
Nitrate Fuel Oil mixture shall be used
c) After blasting the loose materia1 shall be loaded by excavators into
tippers
17
d) The tippers after loading shall transport the material to the crushing
and screening plant, which is located outside the mining lease
e) The sub grade material if available shall be transported and stacked
separately in the location already marked and shall be blended
whenever required
f) The rejects shall be transported and clamped separately m the rejection
dumping yard
Drilling

Blasting
Multiple rows of holes shall be blasted using milli-second delay detonators
tubes.
The holes shall be blasted using 25 m, 50 m and 100 m cord relays and
17m/25m/42m so that charge per delay would not exceed the permissible
limits
It is preferred to use 10% High explosives of slurry cartridge of 83 mm as a
prime charge and 90% Ammonium Nitrate fuel oil mixture.
Powder factor shall be avg. 3.50 t/kg of explosives in the entire strata to be
blasted
Explosives material Calculation for blasting (Charge/hole)
Height of the bench = 6.0 m
Hole depth = 6.0 m
Burden = 3.0 m
Spacing = 3.5 m
Bulk Density = 2.5 t/m3
The maximum material to be blasted per annum shall be = 3.41,689 tonnes
Burden x Spacing x Depth x Bulk Density
Quantity broken/hole = 3 m x 3.5 in x 6.0 m x 2.5 tonnes / m x 80%
= 126.0 tonnes / Hole
Powder factor = 3.50 tonnes /kg for a good fragmentation
Explosives required per hole= 126 tonnes/3.50 tonnes = 36 kg/hole
18
Total quantity of Explosive required = 341689/3.50 = 97625 Kg
= 98 tonnes
ANFO @ 90% of 98 tonnes = 88.20 tonnes
High Explosives required = 9.80 tonnes
Total = 98.00 tonnes
Secondary Blasting
Secondary blasting will be to the tune of 10 % of the total blasted quantity
for reducing the size of the boulders to -300 mm which can be fed to the
plant.
Storage of explosives
Magazine is proposed in the eastern corner of the lease boundary. The
capacity of the same will be enhanced and the explosive van will be used to
bring the explosives to cater to the need of mining.

iv) Existing infrastructure
None within the mining lease.
v) Soil classification
The area is covered with thin soil of thickness varying from 0.1 to 0.20 m in
the slopes. The area is mixed with quartz float and pieces of schist rock.
About 4200 tonnes of top soil is likely to be generated in this scheme period
which is preserved and is used during plantation on the dumps.
vi) Climatic data from Secondary Sources
The area is hot during most part of the year. The average annual rainfall on
the area is around 680 mm per year. The highest and lowest temperature in
the lease area varies between 420 to 280 respectively. The drainage pattern
in the area is Sub-Dendritic in nature. The most of the lands in western side
of the lease are of cultivable nature and crops like paddy maize, jawar and
groundnut etc., are grown.
vii) Social infrastructure available.
The haul roads will be developed for carrying capacities by the waste
obtained from the mining/ extraction of ore. The approach roads are
sufficient to cater to the proposed production. The proposed project will
provide employment and benefits

CHAPTER – 5 PLANINIG BRIEF
5. PLANNING BRIEF:
i) Planning Concept (type of industries, facilities, transportation, etc.,)
town and country Planning / Development authority classification:
The subjected mine is the Quartz and Feldspar mine of Sri S. Ravi at
Bandivankacharla Village, Kulkcherla Taluk, Rangareddy District,
Telangana State in over an extent of 56.68 Ha. The present proposal is for
production of 3,00,000 TPA Quartz and Feldspar mineral.
ii) Population Projection:
Since there will not be any major influx of people from outside in this region
because of the project, there will hardly be any population explosion. Most of
the workers will be people from surrounding villages only.
A total of 33 persons will be employed for mining operations.
iii) Land use planning (breakup along with greenbelt etc.,)
The detailed conceptual land use is given below:
CONCEPTUAL LAND USE
S. No LAND PARTICULARS AREA IN HA.
1 Area under Excavation 21.072 (14.572
backfilling)
2 Storage of Top Soil 0.0800
3 Overburden Dump 6.4520
4 Mineral storage 0.1520
5 Infrastructure (Workshop,
Administrative Buildings)
0.1000
6 Roads 1.0000
7 Greenbelt 3.5000
8 Env. Protective measures 1.0000
9 Dump Area Planation 3.0000
10 Others (Unutilized Area) 20.2240
Total 56.6800
25
iii) Assessment of Infrastructure Demand ( Physical & Social):
The proposed will provide the direct employment to about 33 people in
addition there will be indirect employment to many more people, in the form
of contractual jobs, business opportunities, service facilities etc. This will
enhance the economic status of the area.
iv) Amenities /Facilities:
All the necessary infrastructure facilities such as office, Canteen, rest
shelters, drinking water, Medical facilities, transport and others will be
provided.
26
CHAPTER – 6 PROPOSED INFRASTRUCTURE
6. PROPOSED INFRASTRUCTURE:
(i) Industrial
No mineral processing technique will be adopted. The final product will be
transported directly to the consumer/ buyer after crushing and screening
with required sizes.
The ore/mineral will be accumulated by doing drilling & blasting, at once
excavation & loading will be commenced so that the effective cost saving of
the excavator will be done.
(ii) Residential
No residential facilities are proposed at mine site.
(iii) Greenbelt
7.5 m barrier zone along the mine boundary will be developed under
greenbelt in a phased manner.
(iv) Social Infrastructure
The mining activity carried out in the area rather has a positive socio-
economic impact upon the nearby human settlement as indirect
employment potential is created due to mining and allied activities in the
area. Apart from these, the company promotes health and education
awareness in the area time to time by organizing health and education
camps.
(v) Connectivity
Nearest railway line connecting Secunderabad - Tandur of South Central
Railway line, at a distance of 25.0 km to Northern direction from the Mining
Lease Area.
The National Highway (NH-44) connecting Hyderabad - Mahbubnagar, at a
distance of about 35.5 km in Eastern direction,
The nearest railway station is Mailaram at 25.0 km in Northern direction.
27
The State Highway (SH-4) connecting Pargi - Kodangal, at a distance of
about 12.7 km in NNE direction,
(vi) Drinking Water Management (Source and Supply of Water)
Water requirement for is 18 m3/day for drinking, dust suppression, and
Afforestation. The water requirement will be sourced from ground water.
(vii) Sewerage System
No wastewater generation except for domestic waste from toilet which will be
treated in septic tank followed by soak pit.
(viii) Solid Waste Management
Waste generation (O.B. consisting of soil and weathered rock) from the mine
for the life of mine is 6,76,939 tonnes (4230 t/month)
Waste will be disposed to temporary dump initially and Backfilling at later
stage
The non-mineralized area within the mining lease will be used as temporary
waste dump yard which will be rehandled for part backfilling of the mined-
out area at conceptual stage.
(ix) Power Requirement & Supply / Source.
Power requirement for illumination will be met from grid.

CHAPTER – 7 REHABILITATION AND RESETTLEMENT (R & R) PLAN
7.0 Rehabilitation and resettlement (R & R) Plan
i. Policy to be adopted (central / state) in respect of the project affected persons including home oustees, land oustees and landless labourers (a brief out line to be given).
The mine area does not cover any habitation. Hence the mining
activities do not involve any displacement of human settlement. No
public buildings, places, monuments etc., exist within the lease area
or in the vicinity. The mining operations will not disturb/relocate any
village.
CHAPTER – 8 PROJECT SCHEDULE & COST ESTIMATES
8.0 Project schedule & Cost Estimates
i. Likely date of start of construction and likely date of completion
(time schedule for the project to be given).
Mining operations will be commenced after obtaining EC, CFE, CFO and all
other regulatory clearances. Life of the mine @ 3,00,000 Tonnes /Annum
(TPA) of Quartz and Feldspar With Total Excavation of 3,50,432 TPA
(Quartz and Feldspar: 3,00,000 TPA + Waste : 50,432 TPA) for the proved
mineral reserve of 46,29,946 million tonnes would be 16 years.
ii. Estimated project cost along with analysis in terms of economic
viability of the project.
Project cost is estimated to be about Rs 150 Lakhs
CHAPTER – 9 ANALYSIS OF PROPOSAL (FINAL RECOMMENDATIONS)
9.0 Analysis of proposal (Final Recommendations)
i. Financial and social benefits with special emphasis on the benefit
to the local people including tribal population, if any, in the area.
Economic development of the region depends largely upon the nature
of activities undertaken in the surrounding region. Corporate
development invariably contributes towards acceleration of the
process of socio-economic upliftment of the rural society by means
of employment, health & study programme, medical camps etc.,
