(v) PROJECT DESCRIPTION WITH PROCESS DETAIL A. Local Geology The various lithological units exposed in the Wadi Cement works Limestone mines area are part of Shahabad Limestone formation of Sedam Subgroup of Bhima basin and details of lithologies encountered in the borehole discussed below. The geological succession of the lithologies encountered in the lease is given below. Top Soil (Overburden) Clay Grey Limestone Grey Shaly Limestone Purple Shale In this deposit, the litho units are undisturbed and indicate a near horizontal disposition. A few small and scattered exposures of the Grey Limestone in the area indicate NW-SE strike with a dip of 2-3 degrees towards SW. Most of the Mine area is covered with black cotton soil. The identification of the Grey Limestone was based predominantly on colour, texture, smooth conchoidal fracture, frequency of shale partings and expected lime (CaO%) content based on the visual megascopic core logging. The Upper Grey Limestone is covered by black cotton soil of variable thickness and the junction between the two is very sharp and therefore easy to determine. However, the contact between the Grey Limestone and the underlying Greyish Green Shaly Limestone as seen in the core samples exhibits a consistently typical gradational phenomenon from top to bottom.

14 Limestone Mine (Area: ha.) with Limestone Production Capacity of 7.72 Million TPA (Limestone & Shale) with existing three nos of Crushers with capacity of 850 TPH, 1000 TPH, 1200 TPH At Villages Ingalgi & Ravoor, Taluka Chittapur, District Kalaburagi, Karnataka state. Top Soil: Pre-Feasibility Report The topsoil is black in colour and is spread over almost all the area. The thickness of the top soil as encountered in drill holes vary from 0.0 to 0.3 metres. As noticed in the core and RC samples the colour of clay gradually changes with depth from black to yellowish black and finally to yellow. Frequently calcrete is also associated with clay. At places the bottom part of the clay zone consists of red ferricrete cemented with calcrete. Clay: The lithology is present below the top soil. As noticed in the core and RC samples the colour of clay gradually changes with depth from black to yellowish black and finally to yellow. Frequently calcrete is also associated with clay. At places the bottom part of the clay zone consists of red ferricrete cemented with calcrete. In the present cement manufacturing process clay in not consumed as a raw material. Grey Limestone This limestone is generally, grey to dark grey in colour with green, pinkish grey and brown shades noticed at places. It is fine grained, compact and micritic in nature. The micritic planes are very frequent and filled with secondary clay at places. Calcite veins often criss-cross in this limestone and it appears that frequency of such veins increases with depth. Pyrite (FeS2) is occasionally seen in this limestone in the form of scattered cubic crystals, thin veins and also as isolated, massive patches. Thickness of the Grey Massive Limestone varies from 1.5 to as high as 26 metres with an average value of 16.1 metres as computed from exploratory drill holes. The study of metre wise titre values revealed the general depletion in lime content at depths. The lower portion of this litho unit gradually takes on a greenish colour possibly due to more shale partings and consequently reduction in carbonate content. The typical chemical analyses of Grey limestone are as tabulated below: TC CaCO 3 MgCO 3 SiO 2 Al 2 O 3 Fe 2 O 3 CaO MgO LOI % % % % % % % % % Grey Shaly Limestone: This variety of limestone underlies the Grey Limestone and is shaly in nature it is often green in colour and sometimes grades into purple colour at depth. The thickness of this shaly limestone varies from 1 to 6 metres with an average value of 2.4 metres. The typical analyses of Grey Shaly Limestone are as follows: TC CaCO 3 MgCO 3 SiO 2 Al 2 O 3 Fe 2 O 3 CaO MgO LOI % % % % % % % % % Purple Shale: This underlies Green Shaly limestone. This litho unit is dark purple in colour, fine grained and calcareous. The typical analysis of Purple Shale is given below: M/s. ACC Limited 10

B. Details of Mining with process description Wadi Cement Works Limestone Mine is fully mechanized open cast mine. Limestone deposit at Wadi is flat and having strike length of 3 KM and average width of 1.5 KM within the mining lease. Mine workings have been opened in the central portion of the deposit. Length of Mine Working is 3.0 km and width is 1.00 km. Benches at Wadi have been designed based on litho logy sequence of the area & digging height of the equipments used for winning the ore. This Mine lies at a distance of one kilometer from Wadi Cement Plant. Surface topography is such that slope is from south to north. Limestone is mined in three benches I st Bench, II nd Bench and III rd Bench of different depths. Shale is mined from IV th bench. Top overburden /soil capping is removed by shovel/pay loader and dumper combination. Six sumps have been developed in the IV th bench of mined out shale. Seventh sump is under development. Three crushers are located within Mining Lease Area. Since generation of overburden in Wadi Limestone Mine is negligible compared to mined out area as thickness of Over burden is very less and it will be not be economically feasible to back fill the entire area. Thus major part of the mined out area will be converted into water reservoir (rain water harvesting). Ramps shall have slope of not more than 1 in 16. Shorter ramps shall have slope of not more than 1 in 10. Location of ramps shown in various Yearly production development Plans are temporary in nature. Ramps shall be shifted based on requirement such as reduction in lead to crusher. The mine is being worked by mechanized system of opencast method. Blast holes of 115 mm & 150 mm dia. are drilled up to 4-9 meters with the help of drilling machines with 10% sub grade drilling. The complete drilling operation is carried out by wet drilling/ dry drilling (with cyclone dust collectors) method and no dust is allowed to be air borne while drilling. The blast holes are drilled in V pattern having burden of m. and spacing 5 to 6 m depending on strata. These blast holes are then charged with explosive (mixture of ANFO and booster). Around 70 % of hole depth is charged with explosives and balance 30% is stemmed with drill cuttings to have effective blast & to eliminate fly rocks. These blast holes after charging with explosives are then blasted by using non-electric detonators (NONEL). The concept of blasting with NONEL is the state of art concept, which enables the holes to blast from bottom to top i.e. DTH (Down The Hole) and with this technique each hole is blasted separately by providing delays in each hole.

Pre-Feasibility Report delay in each hole not only controls the throw of the blast but also reduce the ground vibration by almost 1/4 th and the noise pollution to bare minimum. The blasted stone is then loaded into 78 T & 91 T dumpers with the help of shovels. These dumpers unload the blasted material into the crusher. Three crushers are located within Mining Lease Area, Crusher No.1 of 850 TPH, Crusher No.2 of 1000 TPH & Crusher No.3 of 1200 TPH respectively. After being crushed (10mm -75mm) the limestone is then transported to factory through a series of belt conveyors. To arrest the dust pollution while hauling the limestone in dumpers, water sprinklers have been installed along the haulage road which keeps the haulage road always wet. Additional Water Tanker is used to wet the moving faces & blasted muck piles. At crusher also water spraying system in crusher hoppers and belt conveyors has been provided to minimise the pollution due to dust. For breaking the boulders no secondary blasting is carried out in the mine. For this rock breaker is deployed to break the boulders. However for Backfilling, suitable approach roads to the Backfilling location will be made by laying safety bunds & maintaining all basic requirements of Haul Roads including proper gradient, drainage etc. The Overburden excavation will be done by Shovels from existing Dumps as well as insitu overburden available in top of I bench. The hauling of the material from excavated locations to the backfilling location is done by Dumpers. After Dumping in the backfilling location, Compaction will be done forthwith by deploying Dozers & Compactor. Suitable pumping arrangement will be provided to keep the foot of the backfilled area dry.
