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

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

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.

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
Environmental Management Plan
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.
Environmental Management Plan
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.

Average waste generation per Annum will be 15,255.36 m3 say 15,255 m3.
Total Waste generation in remaining Lease Period (11 Years)-15,255 x 11 = 1,67,805 m3.
Height of waste dump will be 30 m.
Area required for dump will be 2 x 5600 m2 i.e. 11,200 m2 Or 1.12 Ha.
SE side of the quarry lease applied area is selected for dump yard.
The waste generated will be dumped in the dump yards of size 100 m x 112 m x 30 m.
A retaining wall will be constructed around the dump for preventing the slanting of
boulders.
Garland drain will be constructed around dump yard.
RETAINING WALL:
• A retaining wall will be constructed around the dump for preventing the slanting of
boulders.
