Proposed Year-wise production during the plan period: It is proposed to commence the Quarry operations from the top of the applied Q.L area at the N part. A bench face upto thickness of 7.5m will be developed to reach the bottom level of the laterite deposit. During the 2 years the Quarry operations shall be in between 688m 680 m R.L. Then the advancement of the bench shall be made in all directions to achieve the targeted production. 1 st Year The first year Quarry operations shall be commenced from the N part of the applied Q.L area at 688m top contour by developing a ramp with box cut trench till reach bench height of an average 6m up to 681m bottom contour and advance towards S of the applied lease area to a thickness ranging in 7.5m. In the first year, it is proposed to excavate an area of m 2 with a bench of an average 6m height. The bench R.Ls during this period shall be contour m. An average thickness of 6.5m will be quarried with a volume of m 100% recovery. 2 nd Year The 2 nd year Quarry operations shall be commenced from the southern part of the 1 st year workings at 688 top contour by developing a ramp with box cut trench till reach bench height of an average 6m upto680 m bottom contour and advance towards S of the applied quarry lease area to a thickness ranging in 7.5m. In the 2 nd year, it is proposed to excavate an area of m 2 with a bench of an average 6m height. The bench R.Ls during this period shall be contour m.
