GEOLOGICAL SURVEY OF INDIA NORTHERN REGION

I. INTRODUCTION A. BRIEF INTRODUCTION ABOUT THE REGION

Northern Region of the Geological Survey of India, covering the States of Delhi, Jammu & Kashmir, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Punjab, Uttarakhand and Uttar Pradesh, and Union Territory Chandigarh encompasses an area of 6,68,491 sq km. Out of the six Regions through which the Geological Survey of India operates in the country, it is the second largest Region. Office complex spreads over an area of 12.5 acres with several peripheral buildings at Plot-2, Sector E, Aliganj, Lucknow. On 28th January 1993, the Office Complex was named as VASUNDHARA. As per HPC Committee recommendation, the activities are now governed under Mission Mode.

The Northern Region office was started at Lucknow under the stewardship of Shri R. N. P. Arogyaswami, Superintending Geologist. In the year 1961, the Northern Region was elevated to the status of Directorate under Shri P. C. Hazara, as Director. To intensify and concentrate on the geological surveys in the Himalayan terrain, Himalayan Geology Division (HGD) was formed in 1963 with headquarters at Lucknow focusing the problems of the geology of Himalaya transcending the limits of the states falling in the Region. During the year 1967, the post of regional Director was elevated to the status of Deputy Director General.

Appreciating the importance of glaciers of the Himalayan terrain and their key role in hydrological cycle of the nature, the Glaciology Division with headquarters at Lucknow was created on 4th January 1974. For managing the environment, the Environmental Geology Division was created on 1st January 1975 with headquarters at Lucknow. In 1985, Map Compilation, Publication and Information Division (MCPI) was split into two separate Divisions, viz. Map and Cartography Division and Publication Division. It was at this time that the Publication Divisions of the regions were entrusted with the responsibility of bringing out

2

GSI publications. It is noteworthy that the Regional Library at Lucknow continues to get enriched with the scientific books, journals, unpublished Departmental reports, etc. NR library possesses more than 20,500 books and 21,504 unclassified and 7066 classified unpublished reports at present, in addition to the journals. National and International journals are being subscribed by the Library. The Himalayan Mountain Ranges extend for about 2500 km (with an average width of about 240 km) all along the northern border of the Indian sub-continent, from Jammu and Kashmir in the west to Arunachal Pradesh in the east, constituting the Extra-Peninsular region. From south to north, the Himalaya is broadly divided into (i) Foothill or Outer Himalaya, (ii) Lesser Himalaya, (iii) Higher Himalaya and (iv) Tethyan or Trans-Himalaya across its length. The major rivers that originate from the great Himalayan Mountain Ranges are the Indus, Ganges and their various tributaries. The Indo-Gangetic plain lying between Peninsular and Extra-Peninsular India has average elevation 150 m (amsl) with a low gradient from about 300 m in the Upper Ganga Plain of Punjab to mean sea level at the Sunderbans delta of Bengal.

The Region exposes diverse geology with different rock types representing the complete spectrum ranging in age from the Archaean metamorphites/granitoids to the youngest Quaternary alluvium. The Region is tectonically and physiographically divided into three broad domains i.e. the Peninsular India, the Extra-Peninsular India and the Indo-Gangetic Plain. Indo-Gangetic Plain is sandwiched between the shield area of the Peninsular India and the highly deformed suites of the Himalaya of the Extra-Peninsular India comprising essentially the younger metasediments. The tectonic trough (foreland basin) sandwiched between peninsular shield in the south and Himalayan Mountains in the north, formed due to upliftment of the later, has been filled up by sediments derived from both sides, especially from the Himalaya. Structurally, the Himalayan mountain chain occurring all along northern part of India can be divided into four contrasting longitudinal litho-cum-morphotectonic belts from south to north, viz. i) foothill belt, ii) Main Himalayan belt, iii) Indus-Shyok belt and iv) Karakoram belt. The foothill Himalaya is a 10 km to 50 km wide Miocene to Lower Pleistocene molasse sequence represented by rocks of the Sirmur Group (i.e. Subathu and Dagshai + Kasauli or Murree/Dharmshala) Siwalik Group. This belt is a domain of active tectonics having participation in the terminal phase of the Himalayan Orogeny. This is followed to the north by the Lesser and Higher Himalaya, represented by geological sequences of the Proterozoic age with the Phanerozoic cover of varying thickness in different parts. The foothill Himalaya is separated from the Lesser Himalaya by the north-dipping regional fault/thrust commonly known as the Main Boundary Fault (MBF) or the Main Boundary Thrust (MBT). The Main Frontal Thrust (MFT) limits the margins of the Siwalik Zone against the Indo-Gangetic Plains (IGP).

The Lesser Himalaya is 60 km to 80 km wide and is a discontinuous belt stretching between the MBT in the south and the Main Central Thrust (MCT) in the north. It consists of the para-autochthonous Late Proterozoic meta-sediments, thrust over by three vast nappes that are built up successively of Palaeozoic sediments, Precambrian epi-metamorphics and mesograde metasediments. The epi-metamorphic and meso-metamorphic nappes throughout their extent are characterized by Early Proterozoic (=1900 Ma) and Early Palaeozoic granitic bodies of large dimension. The MCT separates the Lesser Himalaya from the Higher Himalaya to its north. The Higher Himalaya marks the region of the highest peaks of the Himalaya (like Nunkun, Leopargial, Kedarnath, Badrinath, Nanda Devi, Api, Dhaulagiri, Mt. Everest, Kanchanjunga), made up of 10 km-15 km thick Precambrian crystallines exhumed up and intruded by granites, some of which are of the Tertiary age. The Indus Shyok belt/the Tethys Himalaya extends to the south of the Trans-Himalayan Karakoram belt and comprises ophiolite mélange (i.e. Indus ophiolite and associated formations) and plutonic rocks (Ladakh Granitoid Complex) of the Indus Shyok belt. These predominantly fossiliferous sediments range in age from Late Proterozoic to Eocene. Sporadic occurrences of chromite have been reported from the ultrabasic rocks associated with Dras volcanics from Ophiolite-Melange zone. Karakoram belt, the northernmost zone, comprises Palaeozoic and Mesozoic sedimentary sequence on a metamorphic

3

basement of unknown age. This Trans-Himalayan belt lies to the north of the Indus Suture Zone in Ladakh region and extends eastward into Tibet. No important mineral occurrence is known from this belt.

B. GEOLOGY AND MINERAL RESOURCES

Geologically, under Northern Region, the states of Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Jammu and Kashmir, Punjab, Uttarakhand and Uttar Pradesh encompass diverse lithology ranging in age from the oldest Archaean metamorphites/ granitoids to the youngest Quaternary alluvium. The stratigraphic succession of the rocks exposed is given in the Geological map of Northern Region.

HARYANA AND DELHI

Haryana state has an area of 44,222 sq km and Delhi covers an area of 1483 sq km. Physiographically, state is divisible into three main geomorphic domains viz. Sub Himalayan Region, Indo Gangetic Plain and Aeolian Plain (north-eastern fringe of Thar Desert forming a part area in Haryana). Main geomorphic features are represented viz. a) Mountains of the Outer Himalayas in the north comprising mainly high structural hills (Siwalik Group), b) Piedmont unit formed in the immediate south of the Outer Himalaya mountain front, c) Alluvial Plain (Older and Younger Alluvial Plains), d) Aeolian deposits in the west and southwest forming fringe part of Thar Desert, etc) Structural and denudational ridges\ hills in the south and south west part (North Delhi Fold Belt, NDFB, part of Aravalli Delhi Fold Belt). General slope in the northern part of state is towards south while in the southern part it is towards north. In Delhi, geomorphological features are mainly represented by the denudational hills, alluvial plains (older & younger) and aeolian plains at places. Three major chronostratigraphic units of Proterozoic, Tertiary and Quaternary age are known to occur in state of Haryana. In Delhi, only two major chronostratigraphic units are occurring viz. Proterozoic and Quaternary. Geologically 95% of the area is covered by the Quaternary sediments and the rest 5% comprises the Meso to Neo-Proterozoic rocks of Delhi Supergroup present in south and south-west intruded by more than one phase of acidic and basic intrusives of Neo-Proterozoic age (Post Delhi Intrusives) and the tertiary rocks in the north-east. Delhi Supergroup includes metasedimentary rocks of Alwar and Ajabgarh Group. The Alwar Group is represented by Bayal-Panchnota Formation, which has been divided into two units -basal unit consisting of thickly bedded feldspathic gritty and micaceous quartzite and upper unit comprises of ripple marked massive quartzite. The Ajabgarh Group comprises predominantly of argillaceous sediments, comprising slate, phyllite, pelitic schist, limestone and quartzite. These rocks grade from calcareous to argillaceous facies upward. Lithologically, Ajabgarh Group is divisible into five Formations, each with characteristic lithounits. These are represented by Golwa-Gangutana Formation, Deota-Dantal Formation, Thanagazi Formation, Asarwas Formation and Tasing Formation. The plutonic pahse of acid magmatism is represented by granite, pegmatite and quartz veins while the volcanic phase is represented by rhyolite and hypabyssal feldspar porphyry and aplite. Neo-Proterozoic rocks referred as Tundapathar Formation belonging to Shali Group occur in the northeastern part of Haryana along the contact between the Siwalik Belt and Palaeocene belt marking the Main Boundary Belt. The Palaeogene sediments comprise Subathu, Dagshai and Kasauli Formations occurring in the northern part of Haryana. Tertiary rocks occur above the Proterozoic basement in the western part near Hissar. It is an isolated outcrop measuring about 300 m in length and 20 m wide, at Daha, 15 km northwest of Tosham. The Siwalik in Haryana are mainly represented by Lower, Middle and Upper Siwalik, stretching from Kalka in northwest and Kala Amb in the southeast. Lower Siwalik is exposed along NE-SW trending linear belt forming low flanking ridges near Kalka. These consist of coarse red and purple colored gritty clay and fine to coarse grained hard earthy sandstone. Middle Siwalik, are present in detached patches as Saketi Formation. Upper Siwalik comprises red and orange variegated clays and interbanded friable grey sandstone. Around Delhi, Ajabgarh Group of rocks exposed as detached hillocks and ridges trending NE-SW exposes purple and white quartzite interbedded with phyllite and slate. The Alwar Group comprises quartz amphibole quartzite, subordinate schist and minor limestone. They are well developed in the hill ranges of Bayal, Panchnota, Madogarh, Khodana etc in the southwestern part of the state. Quaternary sediments cover most part of Haryana and along the Yamuna River in parts of Delhi. The Quaternary sediments have been classified as Older and Newer Alluvium. Older Alluvium is represented by the alternating sequence of sand and clay layers with small kankar nodules. Newer Alluvium comprises loose grey sand and silt deposited along Yamuna and Ghaggar and their tributaries and the carbonate and sulphate lake deposits. In the southern and western border of Haryana, the Aeolian sediments occur in the form of stabilised & mobile/active dunes and sheets forming the northeastern fringe of Thar Desert.

HIMACHAL PRADESH Geologically rocks ranging from the Proterozoic to Quaternary ages are exposed and

represent classic geological sequence. Undifferentiated Proterozoic sequences mostly confined to the Lesser Himalaya, are represented by Jutogh and Vaikrita groups. Jutogh Group comprises Panjerli, Manal, Bhotli, Khirki, Taradevi, Kanda, Naura, Badrol, Rohru, Chirgaon and Jaknoti formations comprising a thick sequence of carbonaceous phyllite, quartzite, slate, phyllite, schist and gneisses where as the Vaikrita Group comprises Kharo, Morang, Shiasu and Chamba formations made up a thick pile of garnetiferous staurolite-kynite schist and gneisses, sillimanite gneiss, migmatite, quartzite marble, calc-silicate rocks and amphibolite.

Palaeo-Proterozoic: The Jeori-Wangtu Banded Gneissic Complex and Kulu, Naraul, Sundernagar and Rampur groups represent the Palaeo-Proterozoic in Himachal Pradesh. The Jeori-Wangtu Granitoid/Gneiss is strongly foliated with well-developed augen-gneisses, mylonitic gneiss and porphyroblastic biotite gneiss with non-foliated granitoids in the central part. The Kulu Group, one of the three principal crystalline nappes of Himachal Pradesh, comprises Khamrada, Gahr and Khokan formations consisting of schist, gneiss, quartzite, quartz schist, slate, phyllite and garnetiferous schist. The Naraul Group consists of quartzarenite phyllite, shale, slate and diamictite whereas the Sundernagar Group comprises dominantly purple coloured arenaceous sediments with argillities and characterized by interstratified basic lava flows of the Mandi-Darla Volcanics. The Rampur Group presents an association of metabasalts and metasediments dominated by clastics. It is divisible into three formations namely, Bhallan, Banjar and Manikaran. Meso-Proterozoic in the Himachal Himalaya are represented by Larji and Shali groups. The Larji Group consists of lower Hurla Formation and upper Aut Formation, broadly comprising a sequence of slate, quartzarenite, diamictite and stromatolitic carbonate rocks. The Shali Group has been divided into eight formations namely Ropri, Khaira, Khatpul, Sorgharwari, Tattapani, Makri, Parnali and Bandla consisting of shale, siltstone, quartzarenite, massive dolomite, limestone, cherty dolomite, green and purple shale, grey limestone and white quartz arenite. The upper part of the Meso-Proterozoic is represented by the Darla-Tattapani (Peontra Volcanic) represented by quartzite, slate and basic flows.

The Neo-Proterozoic era has been divided into two lithosequences as Lower and Upper. The Lower Neo-Proterozoic era is represented by Jaunsar, Simla and Haimanta groups whereas the Upper Neo-Proterozoic era is represented by Guma, Blaini, Infrakrol, Krol, Manjir and Katarigali formations. The Jaunsar Group is typically developed in the Deoban structural belt and is divisible into three formations namely Mandhali, Chandpur and Nagthat. Mandhali Formation is composed of limestone, argillite, arenite and conglomerate. The Chandpur Formation is represented by alternate sequence of argillite and arenite. The Nagthat Formation comprises sandstone, arkose quartzarenite, grits, conglomerate, grey, purple and green shale, slate and phyllite. The Simla Group is divisible into four formations, Basantpur, Kunihar, Chhaosa and Sanjauli. The Basantpur Formation is characterized by the abundant interbeds of limestone and dolomite within argillite and siltstone whereas Kunihar Formation comprises lenticular interbeds of stromatolite-bearing limestone with fissile shales. The Chhaosa Formation is characterized by a thick rhythmic sequence of shale, siltstone and greywacke. The Sanjauli Formation is divisible into Lower and Upper members, on the basis of characteristic lithological associations. The Haimanta Group comprises Batal Formation, is broadly made up of phyllite, quartzite, pyritous carbonaceous phyllite.

The Krol Group is divisible into A, B, C, D and E formations. The Krol A Formation comprises alternation of greenish grey calcareous shale and argillaceous limestone with variable gradation. Krol B Formation is characterized by thinnly laminated purple to red shales with green shale intercalations and thin interbeds of thin dolomite and cherty limestone. Krol C Formation is represented by dolomite, cherty limestone and shale, Krol D Formation comprises an alternation of cherty limestone and shale whereas Krol E is the topmost lithostratigraphic unit with a dominant banded grey and pale cream white calclutite to dololutite with a rugged

7

appearance. In the Spiti/Kinnaur and Higher Himalayas, the Cambrian rocks comprise Kunzamla and Parahio formations. The Permian in Himachal Pradesh is represented by the Kuling Group in the Spiti/Kinnaur area whereas in Chamba area, it is represented by the Salooni Formation. The Kuling Group is divisible into fossiliferous Gechang and Gungri formations. The Gechang Formation is consisting of brown to grey, pale grey, coarse-grained weakly bioturbated, cross bedded, calcareous sandstone with local conglomerate and/or shell lag at base. The Gungri Formation comprises black shale, calcareous silty shale, phosphatic, cherty and calcareous nodules and thin limestone. The Salooni Formation is represented by black shale, slate, calcareous slate and lenticles of limestone and is fossiliferous.

PUNJAB The Punjab state with an area of 50,362 sq km forms a part of the Indo-Gangetic basin.

The two broad geomorphic entities, viz. the Siwalik foothills towards northeast part of the state and alluvial fill of the Indus drainage basin characterise the physiographic setting of the Punjab. The dominant physiographic high are as i) Lahore-Sargodha Ridge in the west; ii) Delhi-Jagadhari Ridge in the east; iii) Delhi-Lahore Ridge in the south and iv) Siwalik ridges in the northeast. Chandigarh covers an area of 114 sq km.

GEOLOGY The Neogene and Quaternary units are classified into i) Siwalik Group and ii) the

Quaternary alluvium comprising the Older Alluvium and Newer Alluvium. The maximum depth of the Quaternary sediments recorded is about 4500 m. The base configuration indicates that the Punjab basin appears to be deeper in the northern side and shallower southward and deepest towards NW. The Siwalik Group is classified into three subgroups namely Lower/Middle and Upper Siwalik subgroups The rocks of the Lower and Middle Siwalik subgroup are exposed as NW-SE trending ridges in the northeastern part of Gurdaspur district while the Upper Siwalik rocks are exposed in Ropar, Hoshiarpur and Gurdaspur districts. The Lower Siwalik Subgroup, represented by the Chinji Formation, is chiefly composed of fine to medium grained, sporadically pebbly sandstone and chocolate to maroon claystone. The Middle Siwalik Subgroup comprises the Nagri and Dhok Pathan formations. The Nagri Formation comprises alternating conglomerate and red clay. The Dhok Pathan Formation consists of poorly sorted massive, grey, coarse grained and micaceous sandstone with minor conglomerate. The Upper Siwalik Subgroup is made up of coarse gravel and boulder conglomerate alternating with clay/mudstone and sandstone. Its contact with the overlying Quaternary sediments is unconformable.

The Quaternary Alluvium of the state can be divided into three chronostratigraphic units’ viz. (i) Older Alluvium (ii) Newer Alluvium and (iii) Aeolian Deposit. The Older Alluvium is formed by the depositional processes of the pre-existing palaeo-drainage of Middle to Late Pleistocene Period, comprising admixture of reddish clay, silt, sand with kankar, grey medium to coarse calcareous sand with kankar and subrounded to subangular unsorted pebble, gravel and cobble beds. The Newer Alluvium is formed of present day streams, representing Holocene/Recent Period. It is chiefly composed of blue to white-grey micaceous sand with alluvium interbands of purple and red clay. The Aeolian Deposits spread throughout the Punjab, except in the areas covered by the hard rocks of the Siwalik Group. Broadly, these are the undifferentiated aeolian flats/dunes/sand sheet and newer dunes. Based on the degree of consolidation, these can be divided into following three categories (i) stabilized and consolidated older dunes (ii) intermediate and semi-consolidated dunes and (iii) newer, mobile and reversible dunes.

JAMMU & KASHMIR Jammu & Kashmir State comprises three administrative regions, viz. Jammu, Kashmir

and Ladakh encompassing an area of 2,22,296 sq. km. Located in the Northwestern part of Himalaya, Jammu & Kashmir (J&K) is a mountainous terrain, except for about a five kilometers wide stretch of Tarai zone on the southern part represented by Siwalik foothills and adjoining Indo-Gangetic Alluvial Plain. The geographical entity of J&K is represented by four tectono-geomorphic domain represented by linear tectonic belts, which in the northwest take a turn to the southwest to form the western Syntaxes, the ‘Jhelum Syntaxes’. These tectonic belts from north to south are (i) Karakoram belt, (ii) Indus-Shyok belt. (iii) Main Himalayan belt and (iv) Frontal fold belt. Jhelum Syntaxes and the two re-entrants, the broad Chenab re-entrant near Ramban and the sharp Ravi re-entrant near Dalhousie in H.P. are the major morphotectonic units.

GEOLOGY The state of Jammu and Kashmir is covered by rocks ranging in age from Proterozoic to

Recent. The geological lithounits/formations are described as below: Karakoram Belt forms the northernmost sector of Ladakh and covers the southern

slopes of great Karakoram Range in Trans-Himalaya exposing Palaeozoic-Mesozoic sedimentary formations of Karakoram-Tethyan basin. Karakoram Granitoid occur towards north of Shyok-Nubra zone. The belt is separated from Indus Shyok belt by the main Karakoram Thrust also called as South Karakoram Thrust. The rocks in the belt are folded into Karakoram synclinorium and Saltoro synclinorium with a geanticline in between. The Karakoram batholith appears to be emplaced along the core of the geanticlines. Indus Shyok Belt is sandwiched between Karakoram belt in the north and Main Himalayan belt in the south, comprising mainly Cretaceous and Tertiary sediments and associated mafic, intermediate and acid magmatic rocks with imprints of Upper Palaeozoic and Early to Middle Mesozoic sedimentation in Shyok belt. Wakha, Pashkyum and Shyok thrusts are the major lineaments from south to north in this belt, which have sub-divided the belt into three zones viz. Sangeluma parautochthon, Indus Group- Ladakh Granitic Complex autochthon and Shyok-Nubra zone. The Sangeluma parautochthon along with Indus Group autochthon forms Indus tectonic zone, and Ladakh batholith separates it from Shyok Nubra zone.

Main Himalayan belt is the most complex tectonic belt in the region and occurs between Frontal Fold belt in the south and the Indus-Shyok belt in the north, exposing the rocks ranging in age from Proterozoic to Quaternary. Parautochthonous zone, Kashmir synclinorium, Thathri dome, Chamba synclinorium, Kishtwar window, Giambal-Suru crystalline geanticline, Zanskar synclinorium, Rupshu anticlinorium and Kuling-Lilang Schuppen zone are the prominent structural features of this belt. Phanerozoic succession of Kashmir Tethyan basin is folded into a regional NW-SE trending synclinorium comprising a series of anticlines and synclines. The rocks on the southern flank of Kashmir synclinorium have moved along Panjal Thrust to over ride the rocks of Parautochthonous zone and this part of Kashmir synclinorium constitutes Kashmir nappe. Frontal Fold Belt exposes the rocks of Sirban Limestone, Subathu Formation, Murree and Siwalik Group of rocks and the younger Quaternary sediments. Foot Hill Fault, Mastgarh anticline, Mandili structural unit, Muttal-Jigni anticline, Lodhra-Lapri anticline and Panchari syncline are the prominent structural features of this belt from south to north. Muree thrust forms the boundary of the belt.

UTTAR PRADESH AND UTTARAKHAND The Uttar Pradesh covers an area of 2, 47,933 sq. km represented by vast alluvial fill of

middle Ganga drainage system. The southern part of Uttar Pradesh is characterized by rocky upland. The northern fringe area is represented by Tarai and Bhabhar geomorphic units flanking the Siwalik Foothills. Uttarakhand covers an area of 46,480 sq. km and represents the Western Himalayan domain divisible into Sub or Outer Himalaya, the Lesser Himalaya, the Higher Himalaya and the Tethys Himalaya from south to north.

GEOLOGY In Uttar Pradesh, geologically, the rocks ranging in age from Archean to Holocene are

present. The oldest crystalline rocks are confined to the southern and southeastern part of the state and are extensions of sequences exposed in the M.P., Bihar and Jharkhand. These are dominantly represented by basement gneisses, older metamorphites with younger granitoids as intrusives; metasedimentaries; sedimentaries and the alluvial. The metamorphites include various types of schist, quartzite, marble and gneiss. In general, the metasedimentaries belong to Palaeo and Palaeo-Mesoproterozoic period. The sedimentaries include rocks of the Vindhyan Supergroup represent Meso to Neoproterozoic period and Gondwana Supergroup, Late Palaeozoic period. Basic volcanic flows of Late Mesozoic-Early Tertiary period are occurring as capping over earlier sequences as detached outcrops. A major part of the state is covered by Ganga Alluvium. Several mineral deposits of economic importance occur in association with the above rock units in the state. Gneisses with metasedimentarty enclaves along with intrusive granite and other igneous rocks constitute the dominant lithology and represent the oldest suite of rocks. These are confined to the southern part of the state and exposed in the Bundelkhand and Sonbhadra regions. The natural relationship between different lithounits in these oldest rocks has been obliterated by metamorphism, migmatisation, granitisation and repeated deformation.

In Bundelkhand region, granite-gneiss and granitoids constitute the dominant rock types and the assemblage is known as Bundelkhand Granitoid Complex (BGC). In Sonbhadra region, gneiss is the dominant rock and the assemblage is termed as Dudhi Gneissic Complex (DGC). The Bundelkhand Granitoid Complex (BGC) contains a wide variety of plutonic and hypabyssal rocks dominated by granites of several generations, gneisses, migmatites and leucogranites. Among the enclaves, metabasic rocks are widespread. Rafts of schists and metasediments are also present. Migmatites, different types of granite, quartz reefs and younger basic intrusives have been identified and assigned to various types. Quartz reefs trending NE -SW and forming wall like ridges rising upto 175m above the ground are common. Dolerite dykes trending NW-SE are very common. The Dudhi Gneissic Complex consists mainly of granite gneiss, migmatites and non-foliated, massive younger granite with enclaves of metamorphites and veins of pegmatite, aplite and quartz. This is the westward continuation of the Chhotanagpur Granite Gneiss Complex (CGC) of Bihar/Jharkhand. Metasedimentary and meta-igneous enclaves occur with their long axes parallel to the foliation of the enclosing gneiss which is generally ENE -WSW. Dykes of doleritic/gabbroic composition transect the gneissic country.

Rocks of Mahakoshal Group, Bijawar Group and Vindhyan Supergroup constitute the Proterozoic sequence. The Mahakoshal Group includes metasediments with interlayered metavolcanics and granitic bodies intruding it. Bijawar Group is represented by a sequence of ferruginous quartzite, carbonate, phosphorite, sandstone and tuffaceous rocks. Isolated outcrops of Ajabgarh Group occur around Mathura area. Metabasalts, tuffs, agglomerates and ultramafic (Kimberlite?) plugs occur within a linear tectonic belt in the Jungel valley of Mirzapur -Sonbhadra area. The Jungel volcanics and sedimentaries are supposed to represent Palaeo to Meso Proterozoic period.

The Vindhyan sequence -resting unconformably over the Mahakoshal and Bijawar groups -has been divided into four groups viz. Semri, Kaimur, Rewa and Bhander in the ascending order. The Semri Group includes carbonates, tuffs, shale and minor sandstone, often

13

glauconitic. The Kaimur Group consists of a thick arenite -argillite sequence. The Rewa Group is represented by alternate sequence of argillite and arenite. The Bhander Group is consisting of shale, greenish shale, siltstone, reddish brown to purple pink, spotted sandstone with shale partings and quartz arenite at top. Rocks belonging to the Gondwana Supergroup of Permo-Carb period are exposed in a small area in Sonbhadra district. It is composed of conglomerate, sandstone, gritty at places, pink and pale green shales. Detached outcrops of basic volcanics (dolerite to basalt), representing the Deccan Trap, are found as capping over Bundelkhand Granitoid Complex, Bijawar Group and Vindhyan Supergroup in Bundelkhand region, southern Uttar Pradesh.

The State of Uttarakhand carries within it an important component of the Himalayan Tectonogene- the North Western Himalayas. It is geographically divided into Garhwal & Kumaun Himalayas lying between Kali valley in the East and Tons-Yamuna Valley in the West. This region occupies both the stretch of Himalayas and the Indo-gangetic Foredeep and encompasses a wide assemblage of Litho-tectonic units ranging in age from Proterozoic to Phanerozoic.

The area can be divided longitudinally from South to North into Outer/Sub-Himalayas, Lessar Himalayas, Central Himalayas and the Tethyan Himalayan zones. The outer/Sub-Himalayas comprises the rock of Siwalik Group which occupies an area between Indo-Gangetic plane in the south and rocks of Lessar Himalayas in North. The Siwalik Group is thrusted over Indo-Gangetic Plane along the Himalayan Frontal Fault. Tarai plains occurring to the south of Siwalik ranges are composed of alluvial fill deposits as exposed in Haridwar, Nanital and Udham Singh Nagar districts.

The Siwalik representing the molassic sediment of Neogene age are divided into Lower, Middle and Upper Siwalik with classical coarsening upward sequences. The dominant lithology composes varied proportions of sandstone, siltstone, mudstone, shale and boulder conglomerate. Siwaliks are rich in Cenozoic vertebrate and plant fossils.

A huge pile of Lesser Himalayan Metasedimentary Sequence is exposed to the north of Siwalik Group of rocks, and occupies a substantial part of Uttarakhand Himalaya. This entire package is Meso-Proterozoic to Cambrian in age. This package is thrust over Siwalik along Main Boundary Thrust (MBT) in south. The rocks of Lesser Himalaya are sedimentary and low grade metamorphic rocks with basic volcanics and acidic intrusive rocks.

The Lesser Himalayan Sequence is a complex geometry of fold and thrust belt, structurally evolved during Himalayan Orogeny. The Lesser Himalayan metasedimentary sequence comprises two major units’ viz. Lesser Himalayan metasedimentary rocks and remnant crystalline klippen. The Lesser Himalayan rocks mostly age around Meso and Neo-Proterozoic to Cambrian with some marine transgressive facies of Phanerozoic age. They are grouped into Deoban, Jaunsar, Baliana, Krol, and Tal. The major lithology includes quartzite, slate, stromatolitic limestone, cherty limestone, dolomitic limestone, phyllite, diamictite, greywacke with scanty fossil records. A number of granitoid and basic volcanic bodies have been emplaced within the rocks of the folded complexes of Proterozoic age. The crystalline klippen tectonically occur within the Lesser Himalaya represent the undifferentiated Proterozoic rocks and are grouped into Almora, Ramgarh and other klippen rocks. They comprise biotite schist, quartz-mica schist, garnet-mica schist, porphyroblastic augen gneiss, ortho and para-gneiss, granite gneiss, quartzite and basic intrusive. The largest remnant of crystalline thrust sheet in Uttarakhand is represented by Almora nappe. This nappe has thrust contact with Lesser Himalayan Metasedimentary sequence in north known as North Almora Thrust (NAT). In south, the Almora nappe tectonically overrides the Ramgarh Group of rocks along South Almora Thrust (SAT). The Ramgarh Group of rocks further thrusts over the Lesser Himalaya in south along Ramgarh Thrust (RT).

Main Central Thrust (MCT) delimits the Lesser Himalaya in north along which Central Crystallines are thrust over it. The Central Crystallines comprises high grade metamorphic rocks of Paleo-Proterozoic with intrusive Paleozoic and Tertiary granites. The northern boundary of

14

Central Crystallines is marked by normal fault known as South Tibet Detachment (STD). North of it lies the Tethyan Himalayan sedimentary rock sequences of Paleo-Proterozoic to Eocene age. The Higher Himalaya or Central Crystallines represents the high grade rocks composed of regionally metamorphosed katazonal metasediments of green schist and amphibolites facies. They have age around Paleo-Proterozoic with intrusion of Paleozoic and Tertiary granites. They are mainly divided into Bhilagana, Mana and Helang formations. They comprise garnetiferous schist, quartzite, crystalline limestone, quartz-mica schist, kyanite-silliminite schist, calc gneiss, porphyroblastic augen gneiss, paragneiss, granite gneiss, migmatites and amphibolites with intrusive Tertiary tourmaline leucogranite.

The rocks of Central Crystallines form the basement for the overlying Tethyan Himalayan Sequence. The basal succession of Tethys Himalaya is represented by Martoli Group and show some features of low grade metamorphism in otherwise complete sedimentary succession. The Tethys Himalaya is well enriched with the invertebrate fossils like trilobites, ammonites, lamellibranchs, corals, brachiopods etc. The Martoli Group is intruded with granite, pegmatite and quartz veins. The other groups are Sumna, Nihal and Rawali Bagar. They range in age from Neo-Proterozoic to Eocene representing siliciclastic and carbonate sedimentary rocks. The higher reaches of Uttarakhand Himalaya occupy several high mountain peaks with more than 6,000 m height viz. Nanda devi (7,816 m), Trishul (7,120 m), Kedarnath (6,940 m), Shivling (6,543 m), Panchchuli (6,903 m), Om Parvat (6,191 m) etc. and remained snow capped throughout the year and provide beautiful scenic view. These higher peaks region host many of the well known glaciers of Himalaya like Milam, Bhagirathi Kadak, Khatling, Chorabari, Ralam, Pindari, Namik, Satopanth etc. constantly feed the most of the perennial holy river system.

MISSION-I BASELINE GEOSCIENCE DATA GENERATION

A total of 35 regular field items and 3 service items are being taken up under the canopy of Mission-I, NR. 58 geologists, 15 geophysicists and 21 chemists (one-part time chemist with each GCM item) are involved to accomplish the activities of Mission-I, NR. During the current Annual Programme, 5 items pertaining to Specialised Thematic Mapping and one RP item will be taken up under Ground Geological Survey covering 1580 sq km area with the objective to resolve the problems of lithostratigraphy and tectonics of the intricate areas. It mainly includes: STM in parts of STM in parts of Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh, Jammu & Kashmir, Madhya Pradesh. One STM item is being taken up in the Vindhyan to establish the sedimentological and depositional history of the Lower Vindhyan basin and to correlate the geological setup in eastern and western sectors of the basin. To unravel the Geodynamic evolution of Archaean Greenstone component of Bundelkhand Craton along Bundelkhand Tectonic Zone a RP item is being carried out by State Unit Uttar Pradesh. STM of Zanskar Basin in Kargil Doda district, J & K, to search for base metals and associated mineralisation. In Himachal Pradesh, one STM is being carried out to ascertain the Stratigraphic, tectonic and mioneralogical framework of the rocks of Naraul group in Kulu and Mandi districts. Two STM items are being taken up in Uttarakhand with emphasis on polymetallic suplide mineralisation in Deoban Group and Morar Chakrata Formation in Deoban-Naryunka and Kwanu areas of Dehradun district. Under Systematic Geophysical Mapping, an area of 17500 Sq km in parts of UP, Rajasthan, Gujarat will be covered under 5 regular items. The data thus collected as well as available data shall be analysed and interpreted which will help in launching new programmes for mineral investigations. Under the National Geochemical Mapping Programme, 21 items covering an area of 13984 sq km, including OGP areas of Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and extended OGP areas of Uttarakhand, Ladakh, J&K.

SPECIALISED THEMATIC MAPPING STATE UNIT: JAMMU & KASHMIR (JK)

Division Name: Specialized Thematic Mapping

FSP No.: MIAGS-STM/NC/NR/SU-JK/2017/12149

F.S. Year: 2017-2018

TITLE: Specialized Thematic Mapping of parts of Zanskar basin in Padam-Phe area, Kargil and Doda Districts, J&K to search for base metals and associated other mineralization (on expedition basis).

Objective: -

(a) To establish the mineral potentiality of Basemetal and associated other mineralization in the area.

(b) To establish the lithobio - tectono-stratigraphy as well as structural framework of the area.

Highlights: Regional Field traverses were taken along Banihal - Srinagar-Kargil-Rangdum-Padum road

section. Field work was carried out in and around Padum to Phe, Karsha, Zangla, Zongul Gompa. The filed traverses were also taken along Kayala Nalla, Karsha tokpo, Kamal tokpo, Tungri Tokpo, Shamuling Tokpo, Tsongde-Zangla road, K Lungnak river. Field component was accomplished. The sulphide mineralization was found within Phe quartzite all along the Hongchat Nala, Kamal nala. The quartz veins mostly show yellow alteration. Beryl in pegmatite vein within HHC was also found near Shamuling Tokpo.

Geology: The study area comprises of underlying rocks of Higher Himalayan Crystalline (HHC) towards south and overlying Tethyn sequence to north. The HHC are assembalages of Migmatites, Amphibolites, Quartzites, gneiss, sheared granite/gneiss & thin pegmatite veins. The crystallines have shear signatures at its contact with overlying Phe formation of Phugtal unit mostly preserved in highly sheared granite/gneiss. This shear zone is called as Zanskar shear zone (ZSZ). The HHC are overlain by Phugtal unit represented by basal Phe & subsequent Karsha formations. Phe Formation comprises of Silty Quartzite, Dark to light Grey colour Slate/Phyllite. The overlying Karsha Formation shows brown/ yellow colored dolomite bands alongwith quartzite. The Karsha & Phe formations abut to the west of Karsha nalla against volcanics. The volcanics are mainly basalts with dark to light green color & locally named as Ralakung volcanics. The volcanics are overlain by the sedimentary sequences. The sedimentary sequence just above the volcanics shows presene of quartz arenite, shale along with alternate & interlayered dolomite bands and is known as Kuling Formation. The sequence above Kuling Formation is represented by thick carbonate bands dominantly limestone alongwith subordinate shale units and belongs to Tamba Kurkur Formation of Lilang Group. The Ralakung volcanics, Kuling Formation & Lilang group together form part of Zangla unit resting over Phugtal unit. Structure: The older & Paleozoic rocks are highly deformed. The HHC & Phugtal unit mostly show S0 // S1 trend with general strike of NE-SW. The HHC are highly folded and show tigmatic & tight folding within migmatites. The S0//S1 foliations of Phe & Karsha formations show open to closed refolding nature. The foliations are not well developed in Ralakung volcanics, Kuling Formation & overlying Lilang Group of rocks of Zangla unit. However, the extensive folding is well present in Kuling & Lilang rocks in the form of open to tight cheveron, box, kink folds which highly vary in nature from upright to recumbent. The contact of HHC & overlying Phe Formation is sheared tectonic in nature, whereas Phe Formation is conformable overlain by Karsha Formation. The shearing at the contact of

33

HHC & Phugtal unit is due to the presence of regional fault, ZSZ, in the area. The shear signature present in the ZSZ include S-C fabric, shear lenses, silickensides, etc. The sigmoidal shear lenses & S-C fabric shows top to NE / ENE shear sense in mylonite of ZSZ & is mostly dextral in nature. The general trend of ZSZ is NW-SE i.e. 135-315. Mineralisation: The mineralization in the area is defined by the strings of Galena & Chalcopyrite in the quartz vein within Phe quartzite, which is highly stained i.e yellowish to rusty in colour. The sulphide mineralization was found within Phe quartzite all along the Hongchat Nala, Kamal nala. The quartz veins mostly show yellow alteration. Beryl in pegmatite vein within HHC was also found near Shamuling Tokpo.

Field camp was closed on 21st September, 2017. Petrographic samples were submitted to the chemical division & Petrology division, NR, Lucknow & Petrology division, Faridabad for double polished sections.

State Unit: Punjab, Haryana & Himachal Pradesh Division Name: - S.T.M. (HP), GSI, Chandigarh FSP Code No.:- M1AGS-STM/NC/NR/SUPHP/2017/11708

Title Specialised thematic mapping to ascertain the stratigraphic, tectonic and mineralogical framework of the rocks of Naraul Group in parts of Hurala and Garsha valley in Kulu district, Himachal Pradesh.

Objective: - i) To demarcate lithounits across the Naraul Group for their petrography and mineralogical association & attributes of Hurla Formation and Narol Formation. ii) To distinguish the tectono-stratigraphic relationships between Hurla Formation and Naraul Formation. iii) To work out the economic potential of the area. Highlights: A prominent longitudinal shear trending N15˚W-S15˚E was observed which acted as conduit for the mineralizing fluids in most of the old workings. Geology: Study area forms a part of Largi-Rampur belt, wherein rocks of Rampur and Largi groups are exposed. Bhalan Formation of Rampur Group, exposed in the Eastern part of the area, consists of massive & flaggy quartzite, grey-green colored chloritic phyllite with interstratified slate and some metabasic units. It consists of phyllitic quartzite, massive quartzite, calcareous quartzite, slaty quartzite with interstratified unit of metabasic intrusives. Largi Group comprises Hurla and Aut formations in the area. Hurla Formation, the basal unit of the Largi Group, consists white to grey quartzite with slate partings. Aut Formation, resting over the Hurla Formation, comprises grey to blue massive stromatolitic dolomite with purple-pink limestone. Field traverse was taken along the strike of exposed calcareous quartzite band within Naraul Formation in north-west of Sphangi village and demarcated the thrust between older Bhallan Formation and younger Naraul Formation in the north of Sainj Khad for around 500 meters. Field traverse was also set to determine the Massive quartzite (white to grey), chlorite schist & phyllite and metabasic bands of Bhallan Formation from Sainj to Bhallan village.

Hurla-Garsha-Naraul field area belongs to Largi Rampur belt and is well known for Base metal mineralization (Cu-Pb-Zn) appearing as stains and encrustations of malachite, azurite, chalcopyrite as reported in the Naraul Group of rocks ranging from Paleoproterozoic to Neo-Proterozoic age. This group comprises quartzite, shale, phyllite, volcanic tuff beds, basic volcanic beds/dykes and lenticular limestone beds. Previous workers from GSI Chandigarh have identified copper mineralization in old workings disposed in a linear, NNW-SSE trend with strike continuity for 250 meters in Naraul area. A prominent longitudinal shear trending N15̊ W-S15˚E is observed to have acted as conduit for the mineralizing fluids in most of the old workings. Under present FSP item (FS 2017-18) the STM mapping is being lithological status of Naraul Formation and its association for base metal mineralization in the extensions of the already mapped areas towards south of Naraul and up to the east-west trending Sainj Khad near Aut/ Largi and up to Banjar area also.

STATE UNIT: UTTARKHAND ITEM CODE: M1AGS-STM/NC/NR/SU-UK/2017/11741 TITLE: Title: Specialised thematic mapping of Deoban Group and Morar-Chakrata Formation with emphasis on reported polymetallic sulphide mineralization in Deoban-Naryunka-Kwalgaon-Kaslaun area in Dehradun district, Uttarakhand.

35

OBJECTIVE: • To characterise the detailed lithology and work out the structural framework and

stratigraphy of the Lesser Himalayan succession in the Tons Valley of Dehradun District, Uttarakhand.

• To study the base metal mineralisation potentiality of the Tons Valley area. • To unravel the relationship of mineralised zone with the country rocks of the area.

Highlihts: One channel sample from Pheiya Khera location shows Pb and Zn values 1.5% and 1.2%, respecively. This location seems good potential for further detailing. The entire zone from this location to 400 m south towards Syani village and Hartar area, the altered carbonate and shale is common with signatures of various oxidized material. The petrographic study of thin sections reveals the presence of pyrite as dominant opaque along with minor chalcopyrite and bornite at places, though the opaques are altered. The report of previous field season was submitted & also circulated. Work Done: The field work was carried out in the Barkot area along Kulukhad and Badiyar gad area. The N-S trending Badyar gad exposes the rock of Sauli Formation and Jaunsar Group. An area of 40 sq km has been mapped. The map area represents the shale, phyllite with argillite, granite gneiss and intrusive basic rocks. The attitude of the bedding plane trends NW-SE and dips in west direction. The rock shows signature of deformation. The asymmetric, tight, isoclinal folds are noticed in the phyllite. The reclined nature is noticed at places. The development of S1

plane is represented by axial planer cleavage of small scale folds. The relation of bedding cleavage is prominent in the out crops. The development of shear zone is also noticed in the outcrops. The tension gashes filled with quartz are very common. The bedding parallel intrusions of tension gashes forming pinching and swelling structures are observed. The tension gashes are filled with quartz and iron oxide. A zone of gneisses is noticed along the Badiyar gad area. The gneisses are mylonitised and comprise quartz, feldspar and biotite as major constituents. An intrusive metabasic rock is noticed in south of kulukhad. It comprises pyroxene and plagioclase as dominant constituents. In the Headquarters, the new proposals for the next F.S. were framed and submitted to the mission. These items were uploaded on the OCBIS module also. The ongoing item is also uploaded on the OCBIS module. The field device is activated and a pre-field package is developed. The field device is then configured for the field work and made ready for its utility in field. The officer as incharge of Library carried out library related work and applied for the subscription of new scientific journals and magazines.

ITEM CODE: M1AGS-STM/NC/NR/SU-UK/2017/11742 Title: Specialised Thematic Mapping of Deoban Group and Mandhali Formation with emphasis on polymetallic sulphide mineralization in Malta Range-Kwanu areas of Tons valley in Dehradun district, Uttarakhand OBJECTIVE:

1. To characterize the detail lithology and work out the structural framework and stratigraphy of the Lesser Himalayan succession in the Tons valley of Dehradun District, Uttarakhand.

2. To study the base metal mineralisation potentiality of the Tons Valley area. 3. To unravel the relationship of mineralised zone with country rock of the area.

36

Highlights The Specialised thematic mapping on 1:25,000 scale has been carried out during July-Sept 2017 in Lesser Himalayan meta-sedimentary sequence in parts of Toposheet no 53 F/13& 53J/1 in Dehradun district, Uttarakhand. The mapped area represents the part of Lesser Himalayan successions. The study area lies within T.S. No: 53F/13 and 53J/1. The area comprises of the rocks of Deoban and Jaunsar Groups. The Deoban Group comprises of Dharagarh Formation, Bajmara Formation and Sauli Formation and the Jaunsar Group consists of Mandhali, Chandpur and NagthatFormations. The Dharagarh Formation comprises of quartzite, slate, phyllite and basic volcanics. Stromatolitic limestone and slate are the lithologies of Bajmara Formation. Sauli Formation comprises of dolomite, limestone and carbonaceous shale. MandhaliFormation includes slate, phyllite, quartzite and conglomerate. Chandpur Formation has the same lithology with some basic intrusives. The regional tectonics can be described as a broad anticline with Deoban in the core and Jaunsar in the rim. The fold axis is oriented in NW-SE direction. The bedding is NW-SE with moderate to steep northerly dips whereas the other trend in WNW-ESE direction with 70o -80o

northerly dips. A number of NW-SE trending shears are also present in the area which appears to have controlled the mineralization to a limited extent. The host rocks comprising originally of shale and limestone were subjected to deformation and low grade metamorphism due to tectonic activities of earlier (D1) phase. The D1 deformation phase was responsible for the development of new cleavages or weak planes in the host rock. This deformation caused the original shale to convert into slates. The limestone however was slightly modified and became dolomitic at places and developed secondary cleavages. It was subjected to intrusion by the hydrothermal solution during later phase of deformation (D2) which caused folding of the host rock. The host rock has been subjected to D3 phase of deformation which is reflected in the form of bending of cleavage planes of the minerals. The last and final phase of deformation (D4) was mainly of brittle character which caused the upliftment along fault planes and fracturing and shearing of the rocks.

The rocks exposed in the area belong to the Bhilwara Supergroup (Archaean) and the Vindhyan Supergroup (Middle to Upper Proterozoic), their contact being marked by the Great Boundary Fault (GBF). The Vindhyan rocks are well bedded and strike generally NE-SW with a gentle dip of 10O to 20O towards NW. The Great Boundary Fault runs ENE-WSW of it and truncates its NW and NE limbs. The Bhilwara Supergroup is represented by slate and phyllite with quartzite and dolomite of the Bhadesar Formation of the Hindoli Group and quartzite with slate and phyllite of the Madalgarh Formation of the Ranthambhor Group. Dolerite occurs as sills and dykes in these Formations. Some previous researchers like Dr. D. B. Guha and A. Roy Choudhary have placed the rock sequence of the Ranthambhor Group into Vindhyan Supergroup. They interpreted the hitherto known Archaean Ranthambhor Group as the Ranthambhor unit equivalent to the Satola Group of Lower Vindhyan Supergroup. The Vindhyan Supergroup consists of repetitive succession of sandstone, shale and limestone which have been grouped under the Kaimur, Rewa and Bhander Groups. The Kaimur sandstone occurs uncomformably, with conglomerate at the base, over the folded Bhilwara Supergroup as an outlier west of GBF, NW of Malapura. All other subsequent younger formations form comformable sequence contributing to the central hill ranges around Todra area. Geomorphologically, the area is divisible into 3 main domains: a) the north-western peneplained country; b) the central hilly terrain and c) the south-eastern alluvial plain cum badland. The area is drained by Chakan and Kandoli Rivers which join Chambal River in Southern and south-eastern parts respectively. Chambal River flows from SW to NE direction in south-eastern part of the study area. Highlights: Prepared different thematic maps like DEM, drainage map and land use land cover map& sample location map. An area of 96 sq km was maaped & even nos of samples were collected. Report of FS 2016-17 was submitted & circulated.

Item Code: M1AGS-GCM/NR/SU-PHP/2017/11857 Title of the programme: Geochemical mapping in Toposheet no. 45M/02 covering parts of Sikar Districts of Rajasthan Objective: - To generate geo-chemical database of 45M of Rajasthan state using multi elemental analysis. Geology: The rocks exposed in the area mainly constitute quartzites varying both in texture and mineralogy, with subordinate mica-schists occurring as thin bands and intercalations within the quartzite. The prominent exposures are seen on Revasa Jinmata block and Harshnath block hills situated in the eastern and south eastern part of the toposheet. The general trend of the formations is NE-SW to NNE-SSW with dips varying from 35° to 90°. A Shear zones represented by stretched pebbles of quartzite and quartz with profuse sericitisation arid development of crude foliation in the quartzite observed in the hill near Harshnath and on the western flank -the ridge between Malkhera and Rupgarh. The metasediments of Alwar Group are characterized by dominance of arenaceous rocks. The rock of Ajabgarh formation are characterised by large portion of calcerous rocks. The main rock type are marble, calc-gneisses, calc-silicate, phyllite and mica schists. The Geomorphology of the area is dominated by Aeolian landforms with two prominent strike ridges traversing from NE to SW. During the field traverse in and around the densely populated urbanised Sikar city it has been observed that there is non-availability of sampling media and whatever open space are left, is highly influenced with anthropogenic activities. Based on the field traverses and observations, the rainfall in the area is scanty and dry/arid land surface absorbs the water quickly as soon as it falls on the surface resulting in non-availability of water sample collection in the study area.

The area covers parts of Sikar and Nagaur districts of Rajasthan and falls in the arid climatic zone of the Thar Desert with scanty annual rainfall. A number of disorganized ephemeral streams originating from the ridges move some distance before dying out in the sandy terrain. The ridge in the north eastern and southern part of the area is occupied by the meta-sediments of Delhi Supergroup of rocks (Meso Proterozoic) while the entire area is covered by windblown sand and representing both Aeolian and fluvial sediments. Delhi Supergroup with its arenaceous sub division the Alwar Group, is present in the area around Harshnath, Rewasa Jin Ka Mata, Rupgarh, Nimawas, Danta Ramgarh, Adha Dungar and Lamba. Alwar Group is represented by Rajgarh and Kankarwahi formations of which the former is an assemblage of conglomerate, compact quartzite with sheared pebbles and interbedded mica schist, flaggy quartzite with minor marble. The Rajgarh quartzites are characterized by alternate sequence of arkose, conglomerate, gritty quartzite with occasional schists. The Kankarwahi rocks are exposed around Sheesham, Shami, Choti, Bari Puran, Hudil, Kharandi Lamba hill, in the isolated outcrops around east of Nawa Ghatwa ridge namely Bhuni, Rewasa and Devpura. Amphibolites occur as dykes and sills, around west of Bhuni and west of Lamba. The amphibolites are weathered with hornblende, feldspar and chlorite as the main constituents. The rocks vary from fine grained meta dolerite in composition to coarse grained amphibolite with crystals of actinolite and hornblende. The rest of the area is covered with blown sand and alluvium of the late Quaternary period. Bedding is well preserved in

40

most of the rocks by color lamination and compositional variation. Bedding in arkosic units (Rajgarh) vary from a few cm. to 20cm while the Kankarwahi rocks show a variation from a mm to 3cm. Gradded bedding in the pebbly conglomerate passing upto arkose and current bedding are profusely developed in arkosic feldspathic and arecaceous quartzites in the southern part of the area. Foliation (S2) related to the F2 fold movement is, by far, the most prominent penetrative planar structure. In the absence of F1 fold the foliation could not be differentiated. Joints are prevalent in all rock types and are trending N15oE – S15oW with steep dips towards north-west and N45oW – S45o

FSP Code No:

MISSION-II With the advancement of Geosciences and demand of mineral resources the role of Mission – II has become more pronounced. With the ever- increasing need of minerals in the development, new challenges are palpable. Responding to the country’s emerging needs, GSI has justifiably laid thrust on the mineral exploration activity. Prognostication of mineral deposits constitutes the frontier of exploration activity. With this background the current mineral investigation programmes are aimed. Mission-II encompasses following core activities.

Mission-II Natural Resources Assessment A. Mineral Resources Assessment B. Natural Energy Resources (except Oil & Gas) The Mineral Investigation being a 'core-player' of GSI, in total 14 items and 4 service items are being taken up under the aegis of Natural Resources Assessment. Total 13 standard items have been proposed for Field Season 2017-18 under Mineral Resources Assessment, Mission-IIA. Two items (including one service item) have been proposed under Natural Energy Resources, Mission-II-B (Geothermal Resources). The items being taken up during field season 2017-18 have been envisaged in accordance with the CGPB recommendations. Under Mission IIA, thirteen new investigations – three items for assessment of industrial and fertilizer minerals, two items for tungsten along with REE, five items for investigation of copper mineralization (including two investigation along with associated elements), one item each for ferrous mineral, precious metal and PGE will be taken up to assess the mineralisation during FS 2017-18. The five items proposed for assessment of copper mineralization include three investigations in Haryana and two investigations associated with other elements in J&K. The three items proposed for assessment of Industrial and Fertilizer Minerals include two investigations for andalusite in Uttar Pradesh and one investigation for phosphorite in Himachal Pradesh. Considering the Department's renewed priority on the REE exploration, a total of two items have been proposed. Two REE items being clubbed with exploration of other associated minerals - one each in the states of Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand have been proposed in FS 2017-18. Two G-2 stage mineral investigations for copper mineralization are being taken up to assess the resource potential of the areas. The G-2 stage investigations for copper mineralisation are being taken up in the state of Haryana. A total of 8,650 m drilling will be carried out in 5 Nos. Of items (G-2 Stage: 2 Nos. and G-3 Stage: 3 Nos.).

Highlights of the work:

The area forms a part of the North Delhi Fold belt and is mainly occupied by the Middle Proterozoic rocks of Delhi Super group. The study area is bounded by 27°50’30”-27°54’45” N latitude and 76°07’02”-76°10’25” E longitude falling in part of toposheet no. 54A/1 in Mahendragarh district, Haryana. The area is mainly covered by alluvium with small isolated hills of low to medium grade meta-sedimentary rocks belonging to Thanaghazi Formation of Ajabgarh Group. The rocks are mainly trending in NNE-SSW direction with steep westerly dip. The main rock type found in the area is phyllite with interbedded tuff beds, quartzite, limestone/dolostone and quartz-biotite schist with randomly oriented veins of ferrugenised quartz and calcite. The veins are often folded indicating multiple phases of deformation in the area. Mineralization is mostly restricted to veins, fractures and joint planes. Iron and sulphur

59

encrustation is quite often observed on the surface of the rock. Sulphide minerals viz. pyrite, pyrrhotite and chalcopyrite are observed along veins and stringers in calcareous andalusite schist / dolostone and also in quartz-biotite schist associated with phyllite. Huge veins of quartz (trending NE-SW) with some associated mica, usually found at top of the hills contains small amounts of pyrite, chalcopyrite and bornite.

A total of 40 sq.km of large scale mapping has been completed along with collection of 9 Nos. of bed rock samples, 10 Nos. of channel samples, 4 Nos. of pitting and trenching samples and 26 Nos. of petrology samples. For proper identification of lithology and ore minerals, 26 nos. of rock samples were submitted for preparation of thin/polished sections for petrographic and ore microscopic studies. The bed rock and channel samples collected were processed and submitted for chemical analyses of Cu, Pb, Zn, Au and Ag.

1. The shale, phyllitic are traversed by numerous quartz veins which, are very irregular in nature and are one to two metres thick. Along the quartz veins copper mineralisation have been noticed at some places the most common are minerals that could be found along these veins are chalcopyrite, bornite, azurite. Such mineralised veins are found near Hale Maidan and Shalgaddi nala.

2. The quartz veins are more dominant in the northeastern portion of the area (in Hale and Shalgadi area), in the southwestern part of the area, quartz veins are less dominant and are very thin in width.

3. The area shows gossan formation at many places, mainly iron oxides. 4. The northwestern portion of the area is traversed by many dolerite veins, which vary in

width from few meters to more than 80 meters. 5. The entire area shows multiple phases of deformation, the phase, which is dominant in the

entire, area is S1, with strike NW-SE and dipping north easterly. 6. S0 is rarely preserved due to multiple episodes of deformation, and the general strike is E-

W, Dipping Northerly.

7. F1 folds are represented by very tight folds plunging northwesterly, the folds are mainly overturned

8. The F2 folds are mainly open type trending NE-SW. Regional Geology of the area: The mapped area consists of mainly metapelitic and metapsammitic rocks ranging in age from Pre Cambrian, Cambro-Silurian (?) to Jurassic, which represents the south-eastern part of Kashmir Synclinorium. The area exposes one of the oldest rock sequences, it comprises mainly of slate, phyllite and quartzite. Somewhere low- grade schist is also found. Besides the above dominant constituents, dolomitic limestone and greywacke are sometimes met with. The area also traversed by many doleritic dykes which range from few meters to more than 80 meters in width. The shale, phyllite are traversed by numerous quartz veins which, are very irregular in nature and are one to two metres thick. Along the quartz veins copper mineralisation have been noticed at some places the most common are minerals that could be found along these veins are chalcopyrite, bornite, azurite. Such mineralised veins are found near Hale Maidan and Shalgaddi nala. The area displays a low grade metaporphic sequence; there is slight increase in the grade of metamorphism towards southeast.

During the period under review, the officers were engaged in Field work of FS 2017-18 of item no. M2ASMIF-MEP/NC/NR/SU-UK/2017/11659. Submission of draft report of FS 2016-17 for final approval after attending all the modification as suggested by report reviewer.

The investigation area forms a part of Higher Himalayas showing very rugged topography with average height >3000 m and deeply incised valleys/gorges of Alaknanda and Dhauliganga rivers. The geological set-up comprises Central Crystallines (Helang and Mana formations), Tethyan Sequence and Tertiary granites. During the course of fieldwork, Large Scale Mapping (LSM) on 1: 12,500 scale was carried out around Jelam-Bhapkund, Malari-Kailashpur and Mahargaon areas and towards Neelkanth area above Badrinath. At Malari village, four isolated bodies of Tertiary leucogranite (?) have been mapped. This granite is weathered and occurs at the contact of Central Crystallines and Milam Formation of Tethyan sequence (buff green phyllite and quartzite). Mineralogically, this granite is mica granite with rare to none tourmaline grains. From the field observations and inter relationships, it has been noted that this granite is older to the leucocratic tourmaline granite which is intruded into this granite body through fractures as observed to the south east of Malari area. Migmatites of Mana Formation area seen from Jelam to Bhapkund area. To the north of Bhapkund area, migmatites show discrete leucosome, melanosome and mesosome. Towards Kosa area, gneiss (sillimanite bearing?) is observed. At most of the places, leucocratic tourmaline granite occurs as structureless patches injected into the migmatites. Around Mahargaon area, the Tethyan phyllites show intense brecciation along the contact with migmatites of Mana Formation.

BRS and PS samples have been collected from the observed lithological variants in the area for chemical analysis and thin section preparation. Number of days spent by officers in field:

Description of work done During the period, from July to September 2017, a total of 0.38 sq. km area has been

covered by detailed mapping (on 1:2000 scale) in Pulwar block ‘C’. Reconnoitary traverses were taken in and around the study area and collected structural data. Physiogarphically, the study area forms low lying ridges having general strike of E-W and undulating ground with minor streams carrying the run-off during rainy seasons only. The different lithounits observed during mapping are andalusite bearing phyllite/ schist of Parsoi Formation and the post Mahakoshal intrusives namely leucogranite and quartz-tourmaline/quartz veins. The andalusite bearing phyllite is present as country rock in the area. The andalusite bearing phyllites are in shades of grey and buff colour and mineralogically it consists of quartz, muscovite, sericite, biotite and chlorite. At places, thin discontinuous bands (patches) of biotite-schist are also observed within the andalusite bearing phyllite. The general foliation of andalusite bearing phyllite varies from N75̊ E -S75˚W to N75˚W–S75˚E with moderate to steep dip amount 60° to 80° towards south. These foliations have been crenulated by later deformation and the axial plane of the crenulation fold have the strike of N20˚E-S20˚W to N35˚E-S35˚W with moderate plunge of 40˚ to 55˚ due north-west.

The andalusite crystals occur in the form of tabular to rhomb shaped porphyroblasts within the host rock. The longer axes of andalusite porphyroblasts oriented haphazardly, without showing any particular direction, however, at very few places, the porphyroblasts are aligned parallel to the S1 foliation. The size of the individual crystals varying from 0.5 cm to 12 centimeters. The

67

andalusite mineralisation is found from the surface itself; however, its concentration varies from place to place in the area

Small patches of weathered grey to brown coloured mica schist occur within the andalusite bearing phyllite at few places. In spite of its patchy occurrence, the foliation of the mica schist maintains a concordant relationship with the foliation of the surrounding phyllite. The mineralogical constituents of the mica schist are quartz, muscovite and biotite flakes. The andalusite phyllite/ schist are traversed by a number of quartz-tourmaline and quartz veins. The majority of the quartz veins are intruded along the foliation (S1) having trend varies from N75E- S75W to S80E to N80W with few having trend varies from N20E-S20W to N20W-S20E making discordant relation with the phyllites. The individual veins extending quite considerable distance and width varies from few centimeters to 10 meters. The quartz veins are usually present at the hilltop and the rolled boulders are seen on the slope. An oval shaped granitic outcrop intruding the andalusite bearing phyllite has been found at the northern margin of investigation block and extends up to 450 mts (approx.) southward from the northern boundary. Grey coloured, coarse to medium grained, leucocratic granite is massive in nature and mostly occupy the low lying areas in the mapped block. Granite consists of quartz, feldspar and biotite. These leucogranite show two sets of fractures planes. The attitude of these fracture planes are N30E-S30W with vertical to sub-vertical dip towards SE and NW-SE with vertical dips. At places, these granites are highly fractured and are traversed by narrow quartz and quartz-felspethic veins. The contact zone of the granite with low grade metasedimentary rock is marked by a narrow strip (2-3m in width) of fine grained, compact, massive fraction which is chilled or backed in appearance. Samples have been collected from the contact of granite with the andalusite bearing phyllite. In addition to the above, 06 nos. of boreholes have been marked on the ground, 12 cu mts of excavation have been completed in 06 nos. of trenches (2 cu m each) during the quarter. 06 nos. of pit/trench samples and 05 nos. of bed rock samples have been collected and processed. Total 07 nos. of samples for petrographic studies have been collected during the quarter. Highlights:

• Detailed mapping of 0.38 sq km area have been completed on 1:2000 scale. • The major lithounits in the study area are andalusite bearing phyllite/schist, leucogranite,

quartz veins and Quartz-tourmaline veins. • Total 06 nos. of boreholes have been marked on the ground and their profiles have been

prepared. • Andalusite occurs as porphyoblast within andalusite bearing phyllite and the crystals

measures to the length of 14 cm. • Andalusite mineralisation is found from the surface itself; however, its concentration varies

from place to place in mapping area. No specific pattern/zone has been observed. • Total 12 cu. m. of trenching have been completed in 06 nos. of trenches. 12 nos. PTS and 05

nos. of BRS and 07 nos. of PS samples have been collected and processed.

Description of work done: Field work for the above mentioned item was initiated on 07-07-2017and a total of 0.30 square kilometers have been mapped on 1:2000 scale. All the nine boreholes which are planned for FS 2017-18 have been fixed/marked on the ground with total station. A 04 numbers of bed rock samples and 05 number of thin section samples for petrographic studies have also been collected with completion of 09 cubic meters of trenching. During detailed mapping, lithounits such as andalusite bearing phyllite, east-west trending quartz veins and tourmaline bearing quartz veins have been observed and mapped on 1:2000 scale. The area under investigation is dominated by andalusite bearing phyllite of Parsoi Formation. The rock is thinly banded, well foliated and exhibits phyllitic sheen. Porphyroblasts of andalusite crystal

71

occurs within this lithology. Long slender, prismatic crystals of andalusite are usually greyish, flesh red in colour, at places, greenish grey in colour and are generally present along the foliation plane of the andalusite bearing phyllite. The general attitude of foliation varies ENE – WSW to E-W. Andalusite generally shows random orientation but a few places more or less parallel to foliation. Chiastolite (variety of andalusite) is also found at few places. It seems that the concentration of andalusite in the rock is mainly controlled by the chemical composition of the argillaceous sediments from which it has been formed in contact aureole during thermal metamorphism. An east-west trending quartz veins traverses parallel to the foliation. These white to smoky grey coloured quartz veins extend in length from few meter to more than 50 m and width varies from few centimetres to more than 6 m. A few tourmaline bearing quartz veins have also been noticed in the study area whose general trend is east-west, at places north – south trend has also been noticed. Brownish black to black coloured small, slender prismatic and columnar crystals of tourmaline are noted in these quartz veins showing a radial pattern in the study area. The general length of the tourmaline-quartz vein is 5 to 10 m and at places show high concentration of tourmaline crystals.

*Petrology Lab. GSI, Lucknow, @Description of work done:

Chemical Lab, Lucknow.

During the above mentioned period, the officers of the project were involved in the Compliance of comments of pre field report of the Project entitled“Preliminary exploration for iron ore in Mahakoshal Group, Block 'A' Bharhari area, Sonbhadra district, Uttar Pradesh.” (G-3 stage), FS 2017-18. The proposed item has been taken on the basis of outcome of large scale mapping (1:12,500) carried out by Modak, A. et. al. during FS 2014-15 around Bharhari area, Sonbhadra district, Uttar Pradesh. Modak, A. et. al. brought out three to five subparallel BIF bands from Bijaura in east to Bharahari in west. The total strike length of these BIF bands is around 20 km and width varies from 2 m to10 m with cumulative width extension from 170 m to 450 m. These bands are

74

interbanded with phyllite and are exposed on ridge top. The value of Fe2O3 varies from 32.79% to 64.18 %, with 14 samples having > 60% Fe2O3 (Modak et al, 2015) in the eastern most two blocks. The grab samples (137 numbers) collected by A. K. Dey during FS 1967-68 around Bhargaon area yielded 35% to 65% Fe2O3 Detailed mapping of 0.17 sq. km. on 1:2000 scale was carried out to the south of Badagawan area. The lithologies present in the area are khaki to grey phyllite, banded iron formation (banded hematite chert/jasper), quartzite and dolerite sills. The BIF is trending N75º-85ºE dipping 35º-60º southerly and occupied the high elevations. At very few limited places the iron ore seems to be of high grade, but mostly BIF has low grade iron ore, bed rock samples are collected from BIF. A total of 11 nos. of BRS and 8 nos. of PS samples have been collected from exposed BIF band.

Description of work done:

The Mahakoshal belt represents a volcano-sedimentary sequence exposed proximal to the ENE-WSW to E-W trending Son-Narmada Lineament Zone (SNLZ) in the Central India. The study area (FS 2017-18) consists of phyllites interbanded with discontinuous quartzite of Parsoi Formation. The phyllite is fine grained, light grey to dark grey, khaki, buff coloured thinly laminated with partings of arenaceous phyllite/quartzite. It is well foliated and phyllitic sheen is invariably developed. At places, pyritiferous banded phyllite is also present. Indications of shearing in form of SC fabric has also been observed in phyllite. Quartz veins of varying sizes have intruded along and across the foliations of phyllite. At places, silcification of phyllite has also been observed at the contact of quartz veins. The quartzite is fine to medium grained, buff to dark grey in colour. The fine-grained quartzite, in general, is very hard and compact, while the medium grained quartzite is comparably less compact. Bands of quartzite are separated by the phyllite bands. The width of quartzite varies from few cm to tens of meters. At places, banding has also been observed in quartzite which gives an appearance similar to banded iron formation of the Agori formation. Quartz veins of various sizes are quite frequent in the area and intrude in all the exposed rock

77

types of the area. The colour of the quartz veins varies from milky white to smoky grey. These are emplaced along the regional foliation as well as across to it. The foliation parallel quartz veins show indications of sulfidization in the form of leached cubicles, box work structure etc. The quartz veins which are across the regional foliation trend are, in general, non-mineralized. In the study area, the regional foliation is WNW-ESE to E-W with moderate to high dips towards south (at places north). The primary bedding is generally obliterated due to the deformation, but at places, it can be identified as the compositional/colour banding or in the form of lithocontact. At some places, the primary bedding is parallel or nearly parallel to the regional foliation. Highlights: During the above-mentioned period, the officers of the project were involved in

• Carrying out the geological mapping (1:12,500) in and around Arangi, Phapharakund, Khadar, Khadri, Khairahi, Ghumtahwa, Mailanshot, Magardaha, Renukoot, Dagdahara, Kolhwa, Pipraha, Hathisund, Jungel, Bhitri, Parsoi and Bihawa area of Kumbhiya-Haripur block.

• Attending the corrections after L1 and L2 stage of scrutiny of report pertaining to FS 2016-17.

• In carrying out exercise to find out number of plates with and without latitude - longitude in old reports pertaining to detailed and large-scale mapping of Mission-II, RMH, NR.

Highlights of the work done: The geothermal province of Himalaya comprises three important fields: Puga – Chumathang

(J&K), Tapoban (UK) and Manikaran (HP), out of these Chumathang-Puga areas are the most important one and investigated earlier.

Regional geological set up of Indus tectonic belt comprises the rocks of Indus Group rocks and Ladakh Granitoid Complex (LGC). Polymictic conglomerate (Indus Group) with clasts of granite and phyllite was observed. It is brownish grey, with clast size ranging from 1cm to 5cm. At Kiari, dark carbonaceous slate, with banded character occurs along with purple shale and phyllite. Geothermal manifestations occur at Chumathang, in the form of hot springs, vapours and gases. Four thermal spring sites were observed out of which three are having concrete outline.

A GSHP (Geothermal source heat pump) site has been developed and installed at Chumathang with Indo-Norwegian support. The thermal spring of GSHP site has a temperature of 80°C; the maximum recorded temperature is 90°C in the Chumathang area. Chumathang granite (LGC) with ‘zebra pattern’ has felsic and mafic components. The dark grey bands / patches have biotite and hornblende. Samples of water and gas have been collected from four thermal springs and one cold spring. The estimated discharge is 50 lit/ minute from this site. The earlier recorded maximum temperature was 87°C (FS 2012-13). The thermal springs of Chumathang geothermal field are adjacent to the suture zone (ITSZ).

In the section from Chumathang to Puga geothermal filed, mainly purple shale phyllite, quartzite and conglomerate of Indus Group and Puga gneiss (Tso Morari Formation) is observed. The purple phyllite strikes NE-SW with moderate dips towards NW. At Puga valley geothermal manifestations occur in the form of hot water, vapours, gases and travertine. The E-W trending lineament (Puga fault) may be the control of geothermal manifestations. In Puga valley 34 boreholes with two deep boreholes were done during earlier investigations, out of which 17 boreholes had blown out with artesian conditions. The maximum depth to which the borehole could proceed was 384.7m. Borax is widespread in the valley. Pockets of sulphur quarries occur in the northern part. One gas sample was collected from a flowing well (drilled earlier). The gas has faint smell of H2

Carried out field work in Changlung (52F/05), Panamik (52F/09), Chumathang (52K/07), Puga (52K/08) and Kungyam (Near Gaik, 52K/02) and collected 13 Hot spring samples from 13 hot springs at Changlung (03 Nos.), Panamik (02 Nos), Chumathang (04 Nos.) and Puga (04 Nos). Also collected 03 Nos. cold spring samples from Changlung, Chumathang and Kungyam, one at each location.

S. Sampling from 13 thermal (Hot) and 03 cold springs have been done.

Collected 01 ground water sample from a hand pump and 01 No. River water (Puga River) sample in Puga and 01 No. Glacier melt water from Chumathang area for the comparison of this water to spring water and find out recharge source of springs.

Collected a total of 25 Isotope samples from these localities; out of 25 Isotope samples, 04 Nos. of sample will be analyze for Tritium analysis.

Most of the springs showed gas emanating characteristics during monitoring of the Hot springs, hence total 13 Gas samples are also collected either in Gas bulbs or Tedlar Bags for

84

the analysis of gas composition. 12 Nos. samples submitted on 24.07.2017 letter dated on 22.07.2017, remaining one sample was submitted on 11.08.2017.

During the monitoring of springs; geological successions are also noted in spring areas. Changlung and Panamik springs are located in Karakoram Granotiods rocks, Chumathang is in Chumathang Granite and Puga Springs are located in Puga Formation rocks.

During the traverses Sulphur Mines and Borax deposits were observed in Puga area and collected samples for XRD and thin section study purposes.

Details of Individual Thermal/non Thermal Springs and Glacier water samples of Leh-Ladakh region are as follows:

Objective: To carryout pre-feasibility, feasibility detailed investigation, construction and post construction stage geotechnical investigations of river valley projects. Rendering geotechnical consultancy services/geological inputs at various stages of the projects. Highlights:3-D logging of 2 exploratory drifts was carried out on 1:100 scale, covering 90m. Rock mass exposed in the drifts is dominantly dark grey to greenish grey quartzite with thin bands of phyllitic quartzite/ slate along with vein quartz/ silicification at places. Foliation joints are dipping 250 - 750 / N110 - 210

On the basis of 3-D logging after drift excavated in the proposed power house area it is revealed that the rock mass is massive, hard and compact quartzite (>90%) with thin bands of slate (Q = 7.5 to 16.0). It is suggested to align power house cavern considering adequate lateral cover/ vertical and horizontal/ vertical stresses of the area and as far as possible across the strike of the foliation joints.

, direction, variation in dip/ dip direction due to local warping and folding. Apart from foliation joints, the rock mass is intersected with 3 prominent and 2 random joint sets. Few minor shear seams (clay gouge <2cm) parallel to foliation joints is also recorded at places.

3-D logging after the drift excavated in the intermediate level to the proposed surge shaft area it is revealed that the rock mass is hard and compact quartzite (>95%) with thin bands of slate (Q = 8.0 to 20.0). The drift is excavated sub-parallel to the strike of the rocks, resulting into toppling from the left wall and plane of failure from the right wall has been recorded.

Geological mapping and cross section along the proposed weir axis on 1:5000 scale of the trench weir site was carried out covering 0.021 sq. km. and approximately 130Lm respectively. The proposed trench weir (15m x 2m x 3m) is located ±110m downstream of confluence of Seri nala and Deothalnala. Rock types exposed in the area is dominantly dark grey to greenish grey quartzite with minor slate partings. On the left bank of the Deothalnala, hard and massive quartzite is exposed forming steep slopes (>800). The foliation joints are dipping towards upstream direction i.e. 150 - 200 / N1300 - 1350. Nala span at proposed location is very wide (>100m) and laden with huge boulders of quartzite and very few with dolomitic limestone. Similarly, on the right bank in-situ rock is present and in between ±20m high fluvio-glacial/ talus material is occupying the area. On the left bank at the proposed location of weir trench and intake structure in upstream and downstream side, slides are present. Therefore, it suggested finalizing the structures considering the impact of slides in the future.

In the Shegole-Tingdo section the rocks of Drass-Naktulvolcanoclastics and flysch sediments, ultramafics (peridotitic and pyroxenite), tectonic mélange zone consisting of basalt, gabbro, pyroclastic rocks along with intermittent sedimentary sequence of coarse grained sandstone, shale and conglomerate are exposed from north to south. The sandstone is both texturally and mineralogically immature. Plant fossil remain are very much preserved in this arkosic sandstone. The sandstone unit has been intercalated with a conglomeratic layer of about 2.5 m thickness. The congolmeratic layer is dominated by volcanic clasts. The volcanosedimentary sequence is a repeatitive sequence of basalt/ gabbro/ pyroclastic rocks and

sedimentary sequence of fine grained sandstone, siltstone, shale and conglomerate. The basaltic rock might have gone beneath to a substantial depth and undergone high pressure metamorphism (Blueschist (?) or Eclogite (?)).

In the Chiktan-Maklishun-Hagnis section and the Chiktan-Kuksho section, the contact relation between the three formations of Indus Molasse i.e. the Kuksho, Muklishun and the Karit formations was established to be gradational with the sand: silt: shale ratio gradually increasing towards the top. Near Kuksho village, the gently dipping sandstone and siltstone beds of Kuksho Formation and Muklishun Formation are well exposed preserving various primary sedimentary features like crest bifurcated ripple, interference ripple and low angle cross beds. Though plant fossil remains are ascertained from the upper horizon of Kuksho and lower horizon of Muklishun formations. The Upper most litho-unit i.e. the rocks of Karit Formation is separated from the Kuksho and Muklishun formations by means of distinctive conglomeratic layers.

The Kargil-Batambis-Kunoor section exposes the rocks of DrassVolcanics and Karit Formation of Indus Molasse. The unconformable contact relation between the Drass volcanic and overlying rocks of Karit Formation of Indus Molassewas confirmed, SE of Kargil airport. The conglomeratic horizon consists of clasts of volcanic in major, however the clasts of LGC are also present. The rocks of Drass volcano sedimentary sequence preserve a repetitive sequence of basalt/ gabbro, fossiliferous limestone and chert bands.

An intrusive carbonatite body is suspected to intrude within the DrassVolacanicsi.e basaltic rock, in this section. The association of garnet along with intrusive igneous body strengthens the occurrence of carbonatite. Again LGC has also been intruded within the DrassVolcanics in the same area, which further was intruded by mafic doleritic dyke. Recording of garnet peridotite and layered basalt are also first time recoding form this area. Occurrence of protruding garnet crystals in association with pyroxene and olivine is a strong evidence for the garnet peridotite rock, SW of Batambis.

Study was also carried out both in Nubra and Shyok valley. The suspected occurrence of the albitite rocks, near the wish pond in Khalsar-Panamic section is of paramount importance, south of the Karakoram Batholith. However, its provenance was searched in the Nubra Valley and the plagiogranite in the Saltroo Exotic block is believed to be the major contributor in this regard. Further, scientific studies in recent future may lead to some interesting outcomes. The rudist bearing limestone in the Saltroo Flysch sequence also opens up a new dimension to study the late Cretaceous and early Tertiary carbonate platforms of the Neo-Tethys subduction zone and hence the marine sedimentation associated with it.
