REHABILITATION AND RESETTLEMENT (R&R) PLAN As no personnel are expected to be migrated due to mining in the lease area and the adjoining region is also having a good mineral potential, the rehabilitation of the employees is not going to be a problem. The workers and other staff can get job in the neighboring areas after the end of life of mine. R&R not applicable as the proposed land is govt waste land. 8 PROJECT SCHEDULE & COST ESTIMATES 8.1 Likely Date of Start of Construction and Likely Date of Completion No construction activities are proposed. The mining activity will commence only after receiving environmental clearance and other statutory clearance. 8.2 Estimated Project Cost Along With Analysis In Terms of Economic Viability of the Project Estimated project cost is Rs. 90 Lakhs. The lessee has all the mining equipments required for the scientific mining. The mine will be Eco-Friendly. Economically the ore is mineable as compared to overburden thickness. 9.0 ANALYSIS OF PROPOSAL (FINAL RECOMMENDATIONS) The proposed mine will bring about economic benefits to the state in the form of Royalty of mineral and to the local people by getting direct and secondary employment opportunities. The material is in high demand at the local market for real estate industry. Sand stone is commonly used for the Sharpening devices, grinding whells Advantages: The use of material such as bricks and stones can increase the thermal mass of a building and can protect the building from fire. Most types of Sand will not require painting and so it can provide a structure with reduced life-cycle costs. Sand is non-combustible product. Sand walls are more resistant to projectiles, such as debris from hurricanes or tornadoes.

17 This project operation will provide livelihood to the poorest section of the society/economically backward population in the area. It provides employment to the people residing in vicinity directly or indirectly. The mine management will also help nearby villages by providing aid to school, conducting medical and social awareness camps, helping in formation of self-help groups, etc. Thus the project will bring about socio-economic improvement of the area and will prove beneficial to the area. *******************
