PLANNING BRIEF
(I) Planning Concept (type of industries, facilities, transportation etc.) Town and
Country Planning/Development authority Classification.
The mining lease having 69.011 ha is non forest land situated in village sansibanathpur of
Bonai Tahasil of Sundargarh District.
The mining will be done by open cast mining on Single shift basis having jack lalmmers &
compare for blasting, and deployment of tippers for transportation with the following
parameters. Table - 7
Bench Height 3 mWidth of Bench 3 mBench Slope 700
Quarry Slope 370
Width of Hac Road 6 mGradient 1: 16
The maximum production will be 1 lakh tone / annum from 6th year of operation. During 1st
year to 5th year operation the production will be 52800 t to 73600 t. There will be a over
burden dump having an area of 6.240 ha at the end conceptual period in a non mineral zone.
Height of dump will be 10 m and angle of repose will be 300. RoM lumps of pyroxenite will
be transported and will be unloaded at ore stacking yard. Materials will be broken to required
size by manually. By hand picking sub grade materials will be kept separately. Final product
will be kept separately. However, later on there will be proposal for installing Crushing unit.
(ii) Population projection.
The project will employ most of the workers from the nearby villages. Only supervisory
staffs will be hired from outside. There will not be increase in population due to the project.
However, few people from other areas may migrate in this area for business opportunities.
(iii) Landuse planning (breakup along with green belt etc.)
During the course of mining, the original topography will be disturbed. It becomes
necessary to reclaim the degraded land so as to bring back to its approximate original
topography. So plantation will be carried out along the safety zone in this plan period.

PROJECT SCHEDULE & COST ESTIMATES.
(i) Likely date of start of construction and likely date of completion (Time schedule for
the project to be given).
Since the geological reserve is sufficient enough, therefore question of time scheduling for
abandonment does not arise in this scheme period.
Time schedule of all abandonment operations as proposed is as follows:
Tentative date of closure of the mine: - more than 200 years. (Based on mineralized zone)
It is to be noted here that the area is potential one and the reserve will be much more than
the estimated reserve when the exploration will be completed in future.
(ii) Estimated project cost along with analysis in term of economic viability of the project.
Financial Assurance
Net area considered for financial assurance - 18.27 Hectares
Rate of financial assurance = Rs. 15000/- per Hectare. For ‘(Category --B)’ mines.
Amount for financial assurance = 18.27 x Rs. 15,000.00 = Rs. 2, 74, 050.00 only.
The amount shall be deposited at the time of execution of the lease.
