2 2.0 Introduction of the project/background Information (i) (ii) Identification of Project Proponent. In case of mining project, a copy of mining lease /letter of intent should be given. Project Proponent- Shri. Jawari Lal is an individual, it is an ownership project. Address of the Lessee: Shri. Jawari Lal S/o Shri. Misa Ram Ji R/o Jasnagar Tehsil- Merta, District- Nagaur, Rajasthan Brief Description of Nature of Project: Mining lease is granted in khasra no. 857/169, 866/169, 867/169, 868/169 of revenue Village Valdara, Tehsil Ahore, District Jalore, Rajasthan, lease area 3.00 Ha. This mining Lease is situated in Valdara of Tehsil - Ahore, District - Jalore (Rajasthan) over an area of 3.00 Ha. It is proposed for mining of mineral Granite. Mining of Granite would be carried out by open cast benching method. The bench height will not be kept more than 5m and the width will be always more than the height. The mining will start from top towards bottom. Mining will be semi-mechanized.

3 (iii) Need for the project and its importance to the country and region With the growing use of Granite as decorative stone the mining of Granite has received boom in last few years. There is good market for Granite in India and abroad also. In overseas market Granite is also exported in the form of blocks which are used as pillars in large buildings beside decorative slabs. The increasing mining of mineral Granite has uplifted the economy of Granite producing localities which has resulted into upliftment of life standard of the people in the adjoining area, besides contributing to the exchequer of the State and Central Government. (iv) Demand and Supply Gap As mentioned above, the use of Granite as decorative stone is growing constantly. Hence, despite of constantly increasing production of Granite the whole production is consumed in the market and at present supply of Granite is sufficient to fulfill the market demands. (v) Imports v/s Indigenous Production As the mineral in abundance is available indigenously so the import of the same is not required nor economically feasible. (vi) Export possibility A sizeable quantity of Granite produced in the State of Rajasthan and in other parts of the country is exported to Middle East and European Country. (vii) Domestic/Exports Markets There is vast domestic and export market for raw and polished Granite. (viii) Employment generation (Direct & Indirect) due to the project By this mining project of Granite in the area, peoples will get employment. The project directly generates the employment for the local people and indirectly for the others. Also the marketing of the product generates the employment for peoples. By this project, approximately 30 persons will get direct and about 115 persons will get indirect employment. 3.0 Project Description (i) Type of Project including interlinked and interdependent projects, if any. This is a Granite mining project. No other project is interlinked with this mining work. Project Proponent: Shri. Jawari Lal Page - 12

6 (iii) (iv) (v) Details of alternate sites considered and the basis of selecting the proposed site, particularly the environmental considerations gone into should be highlighted. No other site has been considered for the proposed project. The land has been allocated by government for the mining only. Site is adequate for Granite mining. Size and Magnitude of Operation The proposed capacity of the project is as: The total amount of Granite is 5,85,000 MT under proved category reserves, 2,92,500 MT under probable category reserves & 2,92,500 MT under possible category reserves. Total reserves = 11,70,000 MT. Total area of mining lease is 3.0 Ha. Proposed maximum annual targeted production of Granite from the mine will be 8658 MTPA. Project description with process details (a schematic diagram/flow chart showing the project layout, components of the project etc. should be given) A. Method of Mining The mining will be semi-mechanized and the mechanization will be the drilling of the holes through compressed air operated jackhammer. For the systematic working of open cast mines, working will be done by forming two benches, one bench of 2.0m height for weathered granite & topsoil and second bench of 5.0m height for Granite. The height of bench will not be kept more than 5m at a time and the width will be always more than the height. The proposals of mining for the next five year workings are given at 100m RL to 93m RL advancing towards the northeast direction. Following machineries will be used for mining of Granite: Table 1.2 Showing Details of machinery proposed to be used at mine S.No Item Capacity Quantity 1 Jackhammer 6-7 Kgf/cm Compressor Cps Excavator Bucket capacity (1.5 cum) 1 4 Mobile Crane 40 Tones 1 5 Winch/ Chain Pully Block 20 Tones 1 Project Proponent: Shri.

F. Conceptual Mining Plan At the end of the life of mine tone of granite mineral will be excavated from the lease area. At the end of the fifth year cum of rock will be excavated while tone of marketable granite will be excaxavted. During this phase size of pit will be x sqm. At the end of the life some area will be backfilled and remaining area will be used as water reservoir.. Project Proponent: Shri. Jawari Lal Page - 16

8 G. Raw material required along with estimated quantity, likely source, marketing area of final products/s, Mode of transport of raw Material and Finished Product. About 5.0 KLD water will be required for Granite mining, Water will be sourced from PHED supply in nearby village Valdara through tankers. About 500 liter diesel will be required daily for JCB & Trucks/Dumpers which will be arranged from nearby petrol pumps. Granite mined out will be transported through trucks & trolley. H. Resource optimization/recycling and reuse envisaged in the project, if any, should be briefly outlined. Water will be accumulated in the excavated mine out pit area during rains and pits serve as a natural ground water recharge structure. As a result of extraction of mineral, the rate of charging of ground water is likely to be increased considerably. Water collected in the sump will be used in various purposes at mine viz. plantation, dust suppression etc. I. Availability of water its source, Energy/power requirement and source should be given. Total water requirement in the mine will be about 5.0 KLD for drinking & domestic use, dust suppression and plantation. Drinking water will be brought by water tanker from nearby villages. Diesel will be used in compressor, JCB and dumpers and tractors. About 500 liter per day is assumed to be consumed. Diesel will be outsourced from nearby diesel pumps. Nearby villages is well electrified. (ix) Quantity of wastes to be generated (liquid and solid) and scheme for their management/disposal Topsoil present in the area, which will be used for plantation in the area. The waste rock obtained will be the granite rock piece which does not have any market. These are obtained while sizing of the rock, and also at the time of blasting. The waste generation will be 3732 cum, 4620 cum, 4620 cum, 4620 cum and 4620 cum from I to V year respectively. The 60% of the total mined out rock is only marketable. The remaining rock is stacked as waste. The waste dump will be stacked in 400 sqm area per year and height of dump shall be varies from 10 to 12m. All safety measures will Project Proponent: Shri.

The texture of the soils in general varies from sandy to sandy loam but in deltaic areas of the Luni river south to southwest of Sanchore, the soils are loamy alluvium. The ph value ranges from 7.0 to 9.0 and in general, the soils have a higher ph. The nature of the soils can be broadly described fine-sorted sand on the dunes and coarse to medium textured soils on the plains with a tendency for increase in fine particles. The soils in the eastern parts of the district are shallow, covering partly weathered rocks and calcareous gravely materials. Soils along hill slopes are mostly shallow consisting of weathered rock and calcareous gravely materials. The fertility status of the soils in general is low and the proportion of organic mateer varies from 0.2 to 1.0 per cent. Climatic data from secondary sources The climate of the district can be classified as tropical and half tropical as it basic characteristic. January being the coldest month mercury dips to 1 to 2 centigrade. Again in the month of June mercury rises providing average daily temperature around 41 0 to 42 0 centigrade fatal temperature of 480 C is also experienced during some days.
