Vinod Pandya is an individual ownership project Address of the Lessee: Near Village Lamba & Bhatia, Taluka- Kalyanpur, District- Devbhumi Dwarka (Earlier Jamnagar) Gujarat Mining Lease Area The mining scheme was approved by Indian Bureau of Mines (IBM) Udaipur, vide their letter No. 682 (23) MS (388)/2007on dated Lease deed is attached as Annexure BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF NATURE OF PROJECT: M/s. Vinod Pandya has applied for grant of Bauxite mine, Validity of mining lease is to This Mining Lease is situated in near Village Lamba & Bhatia, Taluka- Kalyanpur, District- Devbhumi Dwarka (Earlier Jamnagar) Gujarat over an area of Ha. The proposed capacity of the project is 73,800 TPA. It is proposed to produce bauxite minerals from four blocks. The boundaries of these four blocks are mention bellow: Table 2-1:- Details of the Blocks Block A B C D Length Width Average thickness Total area The mine shall be developed by semi mechanized opencast. The mineral is laying on the sub surface therefore semi mechanized open cast mining method is the best technology. The main 3

5 2 operation shall be digging; sorting by excavator (2.00 cubic meters), jack hammer, compressor and the transportation will be done by tippers (10 MT). 2.3 NEED FOR THE PROJECT AND ITS IMPORTANCE TO THE COUNTRY AND REGION Need for the project Gujarat is rich in mineral like bauxite. The state is endowed with major and minor mineral resources. The region, where the project is situated people are mostly dependant on agriculture and mineral resources. The developments of mining in the area provide direct and indirect employment opportunities, infrastructure development, communication and socio-economic infrastructure. The important benefits accruing from the project can thus be stated as - boost to local and regional economy, direct contribution to the state exchequer Importance to the country and region Mining industry play an important role in economic sector in India. Bauxite mine is an important role play for major production of aluminum. The bauxite is also use in different sector according to their use in commercial application, like abrasive, cement, chemical, metallurgical, refractory, etc Physic-chemical nature of bauxite Bauxite is a naturally occurring, heterogeneous material composed primarily of one or more aluminum hydroxide minerals, plus various mixtures of silica, iron oxide, titanium, aluminum silicates, and other impurities. It is a light mineral and specific gravity is 2.5 The usual color of bauxite is pink but if of low iron content it may tend to become whitish in color and with increase in iron it is reddish brown in colour. 2.4 DEMAND AND SUPPLY GAP The demand for bauxite is mainly requirement of aluminum, cement, chemical, metallurgical, refractory industries. Gujarat was the main supplier of abrasive and refractory grade bauxite. Alumina plants draw supplies mostly from their captive mines. The production of bauxite at million tones in decreased by 11% as compared to previous year due to lack of demand, development work and temporary discontinuance of some mines. (Source: Indian mineral year book 2011) 2.5 IMPORTS V/S INDIGENOUS PRODUCTION The world production of bauxite was estimated at 219 million tonnes in Australia continued to be the major producer accounting for 31% share in total production, followed by Brazil (15%), China (14%), Guinea (8%) and India (6%). India has produced only 26% of the 4

6 2 total production of bauxite was of grade 45-50% Al 2 O 3 grade. So, high grade of bauxite is increasing demand for import. India import of bauxite in has increased to 63,584 tonnes from 54,345 tonnes in the previous year. Imports were mostly from China. 2.6 EXPORT POSSIBILITY Exports of bauxite decreased substantially to 119 thousand tonnes in from 476 thousand tonnes in Exports were mainly to Kuwait (42%), Qatar (17%), Oman (14%) and Nepal (9%). 2.7 DOMESTIC/EXPORTS MARKETS Lamba and Bhatia bauxite mine is produce low grade type bauxite and low grade bauxite is being marketed to refractory industries, chemical industries etc. All over the country is being exported from time to time. 2.8 EMPLOYMENT GENERATION (DIRECT & INDIRECT) DUE TO THE PROJECT The mine owner has employed one Mining Engineer (as per rule Mining engineer under MCDR, 1988), one Mines Manager (Under rule of MMR, 1961), one Geologist, six operators and two driller. The total number of twenty five workers has employed form nearest villages. The workers are coming from semi-skilled and unskilled both sectors. 5

8 3 3.5 PROJECT DESCRIPTION WITH PROCESS DETAILS (A SCHEMATIC DIAGRAM/FLOW CHART SHOWING THE PROJECT LAYOUT, COMPONENTS OF THE PROJECT ETC. SHOULD BE GIVEN) The proposed mining method adopted semi-mechanized opencast method by using excavator and tippers. The mining work will be carried out from Block A. The width of bench will be kept 10 m and height of bench will 4 m. The blasted bauxite will be sorted manually on pit surface. During mining operation the slope of the face will be maintained 70 0 from vertical. The orientation of the benches will be east west and face will be advanced southerly. Figure 3: Flow chart of the project 3.6 RAW MATERIAL REQUIRED ALONG WITH ESTIMATED QUANTITY, LIKELY SOURCE, MARKETING AREA OF FINAL PRODUCTS/S, MODE OF TRANSPORT OF RAW MATERIAL AND FINISHED PRODUCT. Raw material as bauxite is mined out from this mine. The mine planed has proposed to produce MT in 1 st and MT in next year. The raw materials will transport by 10 MT tippers to the end users. The recovery of mineral is considered as 90% of raw material and 10% goes as waste material. 7

9 3 3.7 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 recharging 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. 3.8 AVAILABILITY OF WATER ITS SOURCE, ENERGY/POWER REQUIREMENT AND SOURCE SHOULD BE GIVEN Total water requirement in the mine will be about 15 KLD for drinking & domestic use, dust suppression and plantation. Drinking water will be brought by water tanker (Capacity 500 lit) from nearby villages. Collected water in the non working pits will also be used in plantation and dust suppression. Diesel is used as motive source of primary energy for mine machinery. Diesel will be used in compressor, JCB and dumpers and tractors. About 100 liter per day diesel will be consumed. Diesel will be outsourced from nearby diesel pumps. 3.9 QUANTITY OF WASTES TO BE GENERATED (LIQUID AND SOLID) AND SCHEME FOR THEIR MANAGEMENT/DISPOSAL Waste comprises of some amount of top soil occurring as overburden and 10 % of raw material waste. The details of OB and ROM waste are given bellow Table 3.1. Table 3-1:- Details of Waste Generation Year Soil volume in M 3 Raw material waste volume in M 3 Total insitu volume in M 3 1 st year nd year The Ore: OB ratio by volumetric excavation is 1: 0.3 The OB and waste rock generated will be properly backfilled side by side, hence question of its height and spread will not arise. As volume of voids will be much more than the material available for backfilling, the backfilling of the entire mined out area will be backfilled up to original ground level and part of the mined out area will be converted as water reservoir. The water collected from the reservoir will be used in various purposes at mine viz. plantation, dust suppression etc SCHEMATIC REPRESENTATIONS OF THE FEASIBILITY DRAWING WHICH GIVE INFORMATION OF EIA PURPOSE 8
