20 M/s. Gold Star Mines & Minerals Annexure of Geological Reserves The applied area and the study exposures along the length of reef and cuttings of the feldspar and quartz to a height of 75m (upto RL 615m) under Proved Reserve Category. This facilitated to access the shape and size of the deposit in the area. The exposed reef with Quartz and Feldspar outcrops indicating fairly continuous deposition of the pegmatite body with quartz as major component compare to feldspar. The cross sections were drawn perpendicular to the strike direction, the cross sectional area of the individual sections are calculated to arrive at sectional area, the area thus arrived is multiplied by the sectional influence of 80m to arrive the volume of minerals. Since the Quartz and Feldspar are exposed to the nature are exhibiting minor contamination of Fe (Iron). Hence, the recovery percentage for Quartz is considered at the rate of 75% and Feldspar at 10%. The same recovery percentage is considered for extracting the minerals.
