9 3.3 Details of alternate sites considered The mineral is site specific, hence there are no alternative sites considered. Mining activities are carried out based on local geology and availability of the mineral. Geology: The manganese deposit within the ML area is a part of plains that border the Eastern ghat Hill ranges and is occupied by Kondalite group of rocks, viz: garnet-silimanite-graphgite schist/gneiss, granetiferousquartizite, calc gneisses/granulites, Charnokites (quartz hypersthenes-diopside granulites). Magmatites and pergmatites/quartz veins. Reserves: UNCF Classification of reserves and Resources Classification Code Quantity (Tons) Grade (Mn %) Total Mineral Resources (A+B) A. Mineral Reserves 1.

The life of mine at the proposed rate of production is calculated to be about 6 years.

10 3.4 Size or magnitude of operation Year Planned Production Ore (Tons) OB (m 3 ) , , , , Total 60, , Project description with process details The mining method adopted in this mine is open cast, mechanized method of working involving use of Atlas Capco drill, tractor mounted air compressor, special gelatin, safety fuse and ordinary detonators for blasting. The mine is being worked by mechanized open cast benching method keeping an height of 6 m each with location variations at few locations. PC 200 L&T make excavator will be used for breaking the OB and Ore. Sorting of ROM material will be manual. This proposed to maintain a bench height of 6 m and width 43 and 65 0 in the future. During the scheme period initially the mine will be developed in the NW side and SE side along with the opening of mine faces. The haul road will 15m width with 1 in 16 slope and the overall UPL slope will be maintained at 45 o.

16 7.0 REHABILITATION AND RESETTLEMENT (R&R) PLAN 7.1 Policy to be adopted (Central/State) in respect of the project affected persons including home oustees, land oustees and landless laborers (a brief outline to be given) No human settlements are existing in the ML area and no humans will be displaced from the area so the proposed project does not involve any rehabilitation and resettlement. 8. PROJECT SCHEDULE & COST ESTIMATES 8.1 Likely date of start of construction and likely date of completion (Time schedule for the project to be given) The project will commence once Environmental Clearance and other necessary certificates are obtained from the respective departments. 8.2 Estimated project cost along with analysis in terms of economic viability of the project. The envisaged maximum annual production of Quartz in a year is estimated to be 5850T. The cost of the project : Capital : 485Lakhs EMP Cost : 45 Lakhs 9. ANALYSIS OF PROPOSAL (Final recommendations) 9.1 The quarry lease applied area is surrounded by 15 villages within a distance of 5kms.Agriculture and sheep breeding are important profession of the people living in the village besides involving themselves in quarrying activity. There is no adverse Socio Economic Impact on the persons in the villages, due to the quarrying operations there is a positive impact of the quarry operations on the socio economic standards of the villagers. The quarrying activity in this area improved the socio-economic status of the local people by virtue direct and indirect employment.
