GEOLOGY

Topography

The quarry lease area is a part of ridge rising 35 M above ground level within the quarry lease

area with topo relief in East and West directions. The lowest contour is 141 M and highest

contour is 176 M in topo plan.

Regional Geology

The Eastern Ghat Mobile Belt (EGMB) is more than 600 Km in Length from Srikakulam in the North

to Ongole in the South. This belt is more than 100 Km in width in Northern part and tapers down to

less than 20 Km in the South, it has broad actuate trend with westward convexity. The NNE - SSW

trend in the southern part of the belt changes NE - SW in the North. EGMB is divided into 3

longitudinal zones viz.

1. Western - Charnockitic Zone

2. Central - Khondalite Zone

3. Eastern - Migmatite Zone

While in the Northern parts in Srikakulam, Vizianagaram & Vishakapatnam Districts the central

Khondalite Zone occupies major part of the area. Whereas Western Charnockite Zone occurs in the

Southern part. The rocks in this belt are represented High Grade Granulite facies of Metamorphism

and suffered by complex deformation. The stratigraphic succession of EGMB is as follows :

INTRUSIVES Layered Anorthisites and associated Mafics and Chromiferrous Ultra Mafics

CHARNOCKITE GROUP Charnockites with Mega Crystic K- Feldspar Charnockite Two Pyroxene Granulite / Amphibolites

KHONDALITE GROUP Calc – Sillicate – Granulites Garnet – Silliminite – Quartz – Biotite – K-Feldspar- Graphite Gneiss (Khondalite) Quartzite – Garnet – Silliminite

GRANITOID SUITE Granitoid with Mega Crystic K-Feldspar Undifferentiated (with Migmatitic Dia Tectite, Augen) Porphyroblastic Granite and Gniesses


5 | P a g e

Garnet-Biotite Homophanus Granite / Gniess Leptinite, Local Charnockite Neosomes and Relics

In Vizianagaram & Visakhapatnam district the EGMB is represented by vide range of litho units

Viz: Charnockites, Khondalites, Two pyroxene Granulites, Migmatites, Leptinites and Intrusive

Porphyroblastic Charnockites. Large enclaves of Acid Charnockites, Khondalites and Meta-Basic

rocks occur within Migmatites, which are largely seen in the area lying between R. Vamsadhara and

Coast line.

Structure

The Eastern Ghat rock types show considerable evidences of structural deformation. Two major

periods of folding are discernible. The first period of folding is on ENE-WSW axis resulting in

normal and isoclinals folds and the second period of folding is on N-S and N.NW-S.SE axes

resulting in cross folds. The dominant NE-SW foliation trend observed in the Eastern Ghats is the

result of regional NE-SW folding. Meso Folds trending NE-SW and ENE-WSW have also been

observed. Some were affected by cross folding along E-W trending axis of earlier folds resulting in

the en-achelon development of domes and basins.

Lineaments of considerable magnitude and extent have been observed. Lineaments are fractures or

linear expressions of fracture systems or shear zones. These linaments are broadly grouped into

NE-SW, NW-SE and E-W direction. Most of these are related to different periods of deformation

and have genetic relationship with folds. Rivers Nagavali and Vamsadhara follow some of the

mega lineaments (NNW-SSE).

Local Geology

The quarry lease applied area consists of linear bands of Leptynite suite of rocks of Eastern Ghat

formation of Achaean age. It is a metamorphic rock of regional metamorphic origin. The rock

consists of Quartz, Feldspars, Pyroxenes, Garnet and regional metamorphic origin having granular

preferred orientation in the constituent minerals. It shows granulitic texture and consists of

granular crystals of Garnet, Quartz and Feldspars. The deposit occurs as circular mound consisting

sheet rock. The rock is being hard and compact beautiful and elegant with inequi-dimensional

grain mosaic of brownish garnets with white back ground. The granular texture and color of the

rock shows good indicator. The strike length of these rocks is about 1 Kilometer, average width 200

meters with a height of about 65 meters from ground level. The trend of the strike is NE – SW.

Because of the massive nature and wide spread jointing weathering influence in overburden along

structural dykes and elongated granulation of minerals in regular pattern and khondalite


6 | P a g e

impression and augen structural impression along grain alteration added beauty to the rock, it is

confined to part of the hillock and in sub surface formations only. Remaining part of the area

affected with innumerable joints and fractures in these rock formations, they are rendered to useless

for production of sizable blocks for cutting and polishing.

EXPLORATION:

Details of Mining Carried Out

The colour granite deposit is in the form of a ridge raised 35 M above the ground level within the

quarry lease area. 2 pits are developed between the grids N 100 - 150 & E 100 - 150 and N 125 - 200

& E75 - 150 o an average depth of 3.5 M.

Production & Dispatch Particulars

No production and dispatches were made by the lessee. The lessee has paid the Deed Rent and no

mineral dues are existing.

RESERVES

Geological traverses in the quarry and the study exposures in the vicinity of quarries facilitated to

access the shape and size of the deposit in the area. It is a hill deposit rising 35 M above ground

level within the quarry lease area (The lowest contour is 121 M and highest contour is 141 M). The

surface of sheet rock is wavy and irregular.

Method of Estimation of Reserves

The exposed granite deposit is found to be irregular in shape; the volume of the deposit is

computed by Cross Sectional Area method by multiplying the cross sectional area with the proved

depth upto RL 100 M.

The cross sections were drawn perpendicular to the slope direction, the cross sectional area of the

individual sections is calculated to arrive at sectional area, the area thus arrived is multiplied by the

sectional influence of 40 M (Average) to arrive the volume of rock mass.

The cross sections in N – S direction are drawn at equal interval of 40 M. 4 Cross Sections A-A1 to

E-E1 were drawn.

Section A – A1

Drawn 40 M North of Southern border of the quarry lease area with length of 203 M in E – W

direction. The lowest contour is 126 M and the maximum height attained is 136 M. The cross

section is prepared to a base line of RL 100 M.


7 | P a g e

The cross sectional area arrived is 5,844.00 M2, the sectional area arrived is multiplied by the cross

sectional influence of 40 M, (20 M influence on South and 20 M due North of the section line) a

volume of 23,760.00 M3 of Rock Mass was calculated from this section.

Section B – B1

The length of section line is 40 M North of section A-A1, with 196.50 M length in E – W direction.

The maximum height on the section is 141 M and the lowest is 131 M.


sectional influence of 40 M, (20 M influence on North and 20 M due South of the section line), a

volume of 2,67,640.00 M3 of Rock Mass was calculated from this section.

Section C – C1

The length of section line is 40 M North of section B-B1, with 190 M length in E – W direction.

The maximum height on the section is 141 M and the lowest is 126 M.




Section D – D1

The length of section line is 40 M North of section C-C1, with 155.70 M length in E – W

direction. The maximum height on the section is 141 M and the lowest is 131 M.




Section E – E1

The length of section line is 43 M North of section D-D1, with 13.00 M length in E – W

direction. The maximum height on the section is 131 M and the lowest is 126 M.

Categorization of Reserves

As no detailed exploration is conducted by boreholes, only exposed resources are considered for

Reserve Estimation upto RL 100.

Hence, G1 (Proved) scale category as (111) code is calculated. Hence, no resources are considered

under G2 and G3 categories.

The deposit upto RL 100 is considered as Proved Reserves.

Total Mineable Reserves

Considering the recovery of the dimensional stones from the quarry is less than 20% and as the

boulders exposed from the bottom of the existing pits exhibit better quality when compared to the

excavated boulders, conservative estimation is made with 20% recovery.

RESERVES AVAILABLE FOR MINING

Total Geological Reserves

Proved Reserves = 11,76,348.00 M3

Reserves Blocked under 7.5 Buffer Zone = 87,302.00 M3

Method of Mining (Open Cast other than fully Mechanized / Semi Mechanized)

The applicant will conduct the quarry operations duly adopting the restrictions regarding the

safety measures as per the regulations 109 & 127 of Metalliferrous Mines Regulations ‘1961”. The

applicant will adopt the latest mining techniques and machinery such as Wire-Saw cutting

machinery for extracting the dimensional stones.

Type of Mining:

The Colour Granite in the quarry lease area is exposed on the surface with boulders. Hence, it is

proposed to mine the boulders / sheet by open cast, semi-mechanized methods, by developing the

bench of 3 M height. Wire Saw cutting will be deployed based on the favourable conditions. The

development of benches in the sheet rock will be maintained @ 60o safety slopes.

The separation of blocks from the mother rock will be carried out by drilling, wedge cutting,

excavation will be done by the machinery.

The secondary splitting, dressing of blocks will be done manually.

Therefore, mining operations are to be carried out in this area in 2 stages.

1) Development

2) Production


10 | P a g e

Stage - 1

The removal of weathered and under sized boulders will be cleared in the quarry lease area for the

next five years by using excavator.

The sheet that is exposed will be subjected to drilling and splitting from mother rock. Rock Splitting / Wedging :

Thus 20’ x 20’ to 40’ x 20’ to 40’ mass will be separated from mother rock by drilling the slotter holes

on both sides of the mass and a top hole intersecting these two holes and wiresaw rope is passed

through and cutting is done horizontally and vertically and by this there will be mass opening on

all the sides from the mother mass.

Stage - 2

After removal of weathered and under sized boulders.

The large boulders will be subjected to splitting into required sizes of blocks by using Jack

Hammers by drilling series of deep holes at right angles at regular intervals, later by

inserting feather and wedges in these holes and hammering with sledge hammer will release

the blocks.

The burner cutters will be deployed for shaping the boulders.

The boulders will be splitted to the required sizes with drilling and if required by using

chemical compound at the source only. The boulders separated will be brought to the

dressing yard for dressing.

If the boulders, which fit into the required market grade size will be transformed into

cuboids.

Secondary Splitting :

After separation from the mother rock, it is properly checked by washing with water to identify

defects and cracks. Based on this observation, the size is decided and the blocks are marked and

separated by drilling and wedging.

The separated pieces will be examined for defects and lines, then the block or blocks are marked in

clear wedging making it perfect blocks. A perfect block is that all the sides shall make with each

other 90o angle.


11 | P a g e

Dressing

After primary separation, the rock mass will be carefully examined to avoid hairline cracks, mineral

segregations and veins etc. The dressing of the rough blocks will be made by chipping the edges

and geometrically equating the edges of the block at the dressing yard. The rough blocks obtained

after primary cut it will be dressed for obtaining good geometric shape of coloured granite.

Dressing of dimensional rough blocks for export :

Dressing is the final phase of mining operation, wherein the secondary rough blocks are squared

into regular perfect rectangular sizes, thereby avoiding uneven bulge or cavities and other defects.

Jack Hammers with compressor, feather end wedges and sledgehammers are the equipments

generally used for dressing the block.

Drilling

a) Drill holes of 9 M depth will be drilled in a single row with spacing of less than 0.3 M and

burden of 1.6 M or more shall be maintained uniformly. This arrangement will yield rock

size of 3 M x 2 M cross section. A bench height of 6.0 M will be tackled in two steps.

Drilling Parameters :

i) Drill hole Diameter 32 mm up to 9 M Long

ii) Depth and Inclination of Drill hole

Generally drilled vertically in an alignment, however in primary cutting in the absence of

sheet joints to develop bottom level horizontal holes also be drilled.

iii) Explosive Type

Not Applicable (No permission for storing the blasting material will be granted by the

District Administration). The applicant proposes to use AGFRACT Chemical Compound

whenever required. Hence, no magazine is proposed.

Production Proposed for the five years

It is proposed to produce 19,069.20 M3 of market grade rough blocks during the plan period with an

average annual production of 3,813.84 M3 from an area of 8,353.00 M2. Benches of 3 M will be

developed during the plan period.

For achieving this production 95,346.00 M3 of Rock Mass will be excavated and 76,276 M3 of Waste

will be generated.


12 | P a g e

The waste generated during the mining will be dumped in the SE of the quarry lease area (Within

the quarry lease area) between the grids N 75 – 125 & E 100 – 225 over an area of 3,365.00 M2

with an average height of 10 M with 45o slope angle will be formed. A retaining wall will be

constructed around the dump for preventing the slanting of boulders.
