Geological Cross-Sectional Area Method
The basic input in this method is demarcating the various features of the
area followed by the preparation of the cross-sectional profile. The profiles
are nothing but the line of intersection with the topography generated with
GPS. The profiles were then converted into geological sections by
incorporating the geological contacts as intersected by the geological
mapping and drill hole data.
The major lithological formations encountered viz. Overburden soil.
Limestones, Calc silicate, Dolomite were marked in the profiles and
geological sections were created. The limestone based on the chemical
analysis of the borehole cores were subdivided into 1. Limestone 2. Low
grade limestone and 3. Rejects within limestone.
The Geological Sections prepared in this way were utilised to calculate the
sectional area of the different lithological units. The average cross sectional
area was then multiplied by distance to arrive at the volume between the
two sections. The volume so determined was converted to weight in tonnes
by applying ‘volume to weight’ ratio commonly referred to as ‘tonnage
6
conversion factor’ (TCF). The TCF was taken as 2.5.
Limestone of Mohanpura varies in orientation from place to place due to the
folding and overturning. In Block I the deposit shows a gentle dip of 25o to
45o whereas in Block II and Block III the dips are sub vertical to vertical.
Thus the true thickness of the limestone lies between 80- 100 m, but due to
variation in dips it covers different widths in different areas. Keeping the
safety zones of 100 m from the villages which overlap the mining lease and
15 m safety zone from ML boundary, the actual Mineable resources has
been calculated through conventional cross –sectional area method. The
resources thus calculated have been treated as “indicated resources”.
Tonnage Conversion Factor
One cubic meter of in-situ Limestone by weight has been considered to be equivalent to 2.5 tonnes of Limestone by weight.
Block I
For the purpose of calculation of mineable resources through section line
GG’, LL’ and MM’ safety zone of 100 m towards Ajeetpura village in south-
western part and a 100 m safety zone towards Kujota village in north-
eastern part has been kept. Total strike length of 485 m has been taken for
resource calculation. A village road connecting Ajeetpura and Kujota passes
from the lease block, which has to be diverted to win maximum ore.
Block II
This is the block where the mining activities are being carried out at
present. For the resource calculation, a total strike length of 450m has been
taken leaving a safety zone of 100m in north east for Ajeetpura village.
Block III
The major part of the block is blocked for resources as the Bhaislana village
is situated on a part of it and a safety zone of 100 m is to be kept from
ultimate pit boundary. Thus a strike length of only 120 m could be taken for
estimation of resources.

Topography, Drainage, General geology and Local geology:
Topography
The area exhibits flat topography and gentle to moderately steep slopes
towards Northern and western flanks. Ajeetpura village in the Western part
9
is situated at a higher elevation as compared to eastern part of the area.
Drainage
The lease area is almost flat terrain with some undulations. No nalah is
located in the lease area. Drainage in nearby area is towards north eastern
side by sota nadi located around 3.0 kilometers NW from the lease area.
The Sabi river is around 7.5 Km south of the lease area. Limestone is
covered by soil and most of the area is being used for cultivation. Seasonal
crops like Bajra, Mustard, pulses are grown. There is no Forest land within
the lease area. Average rain fall for the past five years is about 559.18 mm
(IMD-Jaipur report for the year2008- 2012 and for the period June-
September).
General (Regional) Geology:
The rock formations of this area belong to Ajabgarh series of Delhi system.
The regional stratigraphy is as follows
Delhi
System
Limestone,
quartzite,
Schists, Phyllites etc.
Ajabgarh
Series
Intrusive
granites,pegmatites,quartz
veins and amphibolites
Alwar series
Railo series
The limestone occurs as bands having variable chemical composition and
texture. In the field megascopically one can locate fine grained to coarse
grained crystalline light to dark grey bands of superior limestone and also
inferior bands having higher percentage of silica/amphibolites limestone
which contains high concentration of needles of amphiboles viz. Tremolite
and actinolite either sparingly dispersed or as clusters.
The dolomite limestone band which can also be distinguished on keen
surface examination occurs side by side without having any regularity. The
black crystalline limestone of Bhaislana which posses more or less
homogenous texture is famous as Bhaislana black marble and takes good
polish.
Petrogenesis : Calcareous sediments were originally deposited with
argillaceous and other siliceous impurities. These were subjected to great
tectonic disturbances involving folding and faulting. These sediments were
further subjected to dynamo thermal metamorphism which on account of
10
changes in the temperature and pressure brought about mineralogical
changes. Further recrystallisation by slow cooling has resulted in the
formation of crystalline limestone, impure crystalline limestone,
development of calcium and magnesium, silicate minerals like Tremolite,
Actnolite etc.
Local Geology
Except some small warping and joints no fault fold or other geological
disturbances encountered in the lease area.
Limestone of Mohanpura varies in orientation from place to place due to the
folding and overturning. In Block I the deposit shows a gentle dip of 25o to
45o whereas in Block II and Block III the dips are sub vertical to vertical.
Thus the true thickness of the limestone lies between 80- 100 m, but due to
variation in dips it covers different widths in different areas. Keeping the
safety zones of 100 m from the villages which overlap the mining lease and
15 m safety zone from ML boundary, the actual Mineable resources has
been calculated through conventional cross –sectional area method. The
resources thus calculated have been treated as “indicated resources”.
The lime stone of this area is sedimentary deposit. The impure calcareous
and dolomitic sediments having impurities of silica and iron have given rise
to tremolite and actinolite needles. This impure lime stone come across in
Block-1 and reduce towards block-3. The white bands in grayish/ blackish
marble come across in block-3. When dolomitic lime stone are reworked by
hydrothermal solutions, this often given rise to coarse-crystalline mass of
dolomite and this named as marble
Limestone occurs in this area under the soil cover of 0.2 meter in massive
deposit. The wall rocks are not exposed. White dolomite in small layers are
associated with marble and limestone. The rock occurs in this area as
marble is a common rock forming mineral. Marble in this region often forms
whole blocks or are inter- bedded with limestone.
Colour of limestone is Dark Grey to Light Grey gray and colour of marble of
this area is black to grayish and has white bands of dolomite. Grain size
varies from medium to coarse. The marble is hard in nature. Bulk density is
about 2.5 Lustre is vitreous. Hardness is around 3.5 on mho’s scale.

M/s National Limestone Company Private Limited has renewed mining
lease for Limestone and marble (under minor mineral) near village
Kujota, Ajeetpura, Bhaislana over an area of 96.25 ha. vide Govt. of
Rajasthan order number bearing S.No-P.7(15)Mine/Group-2/95, dated
03.05.2005. the duration of Mining lease is from 09.08.1995 to 20 years
(ii) Location (map showing general location, specific location, and
project boundary & project site layout with coordinates.
The mining lease area is located at a distance of 45 Km from Dabla
railway station which is on the Delhi – Udaipur main line of North Western
Railway. The Neem Ka thana Railway station is located around 50 Km
from the mine area on Delhi-Udaipur Railway line of North Western
Railway. The area is well connected by the road network. Mining lease
area is about 5 Km from NH 08 and about 13 Km from Tehsil- Kotputli
which is located on National Highway no. 08.
Location map is enclosed as Annexure 2.
(iii) Details of alternate sites considered and the basis of selecting the
proposed site, particularly the environmental considerations gone
into should be highlighted.
The mining project is site specific project as it is related to occurrence of
limestone in the mother earth. Hence no alternative sites were studied for
the purpose.
(iv) Size or magnitude of operation.
Expansion of existing lime stone mine from 0.09 MTPA to 0.8 MTPA,
(mining lease area of 96.25 hectares)
(v) Project description with process details (a schematic
diagram/flow chart showing the project layout, components of the
project etc. should be given.
The mine will be worked by Mechanized Opencast Method of working.
Heavy earth moving machinery in conjunction with deep hole drilling and
blasting will be utilized for the mining. The height of the bench will be kept
of 8 – 10 Meter and width of the bench will be kept 15-20 Meter.
14
The blast holes of 100 - 115 mm dia will be drilled using hydraulic drills.
The blast holes will be drilled in staggered pattern keeping burden of 2.5
to 3.5 Meter and spacing of 4.0 to 5.0 Meter
The blast holes will be charged with combination of ANFO and slurry
explosives (booster charge). Almost 30 % of blast hole depth will be
stemmed for effective blasting and to reduce noise and fly rock. The
explosives will be blasted by using non – electric detonator (NONEL). This
enables bottom initiation in the holes and with this technique each hole is
blasted separately by providing delay in each hole. The bottom initiation
and delay in each hole not only control the throw of the blast but also
reduce the ground vibration and noise pollution.
The shovel dumper combination will be used for excavation of the
limestone. Shovels of 1.8 m3 and 4 m3 will be deployed in combination
with 40 / 50 T class dumpers/tippers. The blasted stone will be excavated
using these shovels and transported using these dumpers/tippers. All the
benches and roads will be sloped properly to maintain the safety of these
equipments / machineries.
For removal of overburden soil, excavators with dumpers will be deployed
for development. The overburden soil thus excavated will be dumped and
stacked as waste dump. For scrapping of top soil dozer in combination
with shovel / loader will be used.
To achieve the desired production and productivity, adequate number of
staff, officers, managers and workmen (skilled and unskilled) will be
deployed
The mine working will be highly mechanized. For operations like drilling,
excavating and hauling, heavy earth moving machineries viz. drill
machine, hydraulic excavator and dumpers will be used. Hydraulic drill
machine will be used for drilling 100 - 115 mm dia blast holes. Hydraulic
Excavators will be used for loading of blasted material. The dumpers of 40
/ 50 tons payload will be used for transportation. Dozer will be used for
levelling & compacting of overburden dump as well as face preparation
and road maintenance

(vii) Resources optimization/ recycling and reuse envisaged in the
project, if any, should be brief outlined.
The total mining lease area comprises of dark grey limestone, light grey
limestone, dolomitic limestone and overburden soil. Initially mining
operations will be started in the Block-II of mining lease area.
Overburden will be stacked separately. As the pit is already opened a very
little soil is available which will be directly used for plantation purpose.
on of the Green belt along the mines/lease boundary. And sooner mines is
matured enough for reclaimation , the mining benches of worked out
portion of the pit will be levelled by overburden & top soil will be spread
over before doing plantation over it for reclaimation. and balance area
will be converted into water reservoir.
(viii) Availability of water its sources, Energy /power requirement and
sources should be given,
Water
Water requirement during operation of the mine and plantation purpose
will be 5.0 KLD/day. During construction activities the water requirement
will be 10.0 KLD/day. This requirement will be sourced from the
reservoirs developed in the mining lease area. For domestic purpose the
requirement of water will be 1.0KLD will be sourced from outside.
Power
Power will be required for office lighting only & for this, single Phase supply
is already provided by State Electricity Board. (Phase-Neutral 230V AC).
Electricity consumption will be 5KW. For general lighting in the mines &
pumping 5-7.5 KVA DG sets will be utilized.
17
(ix) Quantity of wastes to generated (liquid and solid) and scheme for
their management/disposal.)
Some parts of the mineable part of the deposit area is covered under an
overburden soil bed varying in thickness from 0 to maximum 1.0 m and
the pits are also already opened. As the pit is already developed and there
is very less quantity is of top soil will be available, it will be used directly
for plantation purpose. The overburden will be stacked separately in the
southern side of the pit. For the initial five years, dumping will be carried
out in this area.
And once the ultimate depth of the limestone in the deposit will be
established and sooner the mine will be matured, backfilling will be started
in the mined out area.
The quantum of overburden waste generation in first five years is tabulated

social facilities are sufficient at the tehsil head quarters kotputli. Kotputli
make the region sufficient in amenities.
(i) Planning Concept (types of industries, facilities, transportation
etc) Town and Country planning/Development authority
Classification
The expansion of the limestone mine from 99325 tonnes to 0.8MTPA will
increase the employment of the local villagers and nearby people. During
construction activities an indirect employment of atleast 50 people will get
benefited. During operation of the mine atleast 50 people will get direct
employment and around 200 people will be envisaged for indirect
employment.
(ii) Population projection
The establishment of the mine would aid in the overall social and
economic development of the region. The mine will give direct
employment to about 50 people, in addition there will be indirect
employment to many more people in the form of out sourcing jobs,
business opportunities, service facilities etc. This will enhance the
economic status of the local region.
(iii) Land use planning (breakup along with green belt etc)
The Mining Lease of 96.25 Ha is located in the villages of Kujota,
ajeetpura, Bhaislanan , Tehsil: Kotputli , district-Jaipur of Rajasthan State.
(iv) Assessment of Infrastructure Demand (physical & social).
21
Adequate physical and social facilities are available in this area.
(v) Amenities/ Facilities.
All infrastructure facilities such as education, health facilities and other
social facilities are adequate at Tehsil headquarter kotputli which is 13
Km from the mine area makes the region adequate in amenities
6 PROPOSED INFRASTRUCTURE
(i) Industrial Area (Processing Area).
Infrastructures are required for mining activates with allied facilities.
(ii) Residential Area ( Non Processing Area)
As the mine area is close to gordhanpura chowki and tehsil head quarters
kotputli residential problem will not envisaged.
(iii) Green belt.
The overburden will be stacked separately in the south side of the working
pit. On these overburden dumps, Afforestation will be done all along the
periphery for development of green belt. There is enough space in the
present reject yard to accommodate the reject/waste rock generated over
the years. Back filling is also envisaged in the worked out pits. when part
of the mines in Western boundary is matured for reclamation.
Afforestation will be developed on the back filled worked out areas.
(iv) Social Infrastructure.
National Limestone Company Private Limited will carryout social
development and welfare measures in the surrounding villages. Under
CSR activity the company will initiate community development projects, in
the fields of health, education and environmental preservation, in the
study area around the Mine.
(v) Connectivity (Traffic and Transportation Road/ Rail/Metro/ Water
ways etc)
The nearest airport is Jaipur which is 120 Km from the mine area.
22
Dabla Railway station is 45 Km from the mine area on New Delhi-Udaipur
Railway line on North west railway. Neem Ka Thana Railway station is
about 50KM from the mine area on New Delhi-udaipur Line.also on North
West Railway.
The area is well connected by the road network. Mining lease area is
about 5 Km from NH 08 and about 13 Km from Tehsil Head quarters
Kotputli, and 120 Km from district head quarter Jaipur located on National
Highway no. 08 on Jaipur-Delhi Highway No-08.
(vii ) Sewerage system.
The production of limestone will be based on Dumper-Shovel combination,
hence no waste water will be generated from the Mine.
(viii) Industrial waste management.
Some parts of the mineable part of the deposit area is covered under an
overburden soil bed varying in thickness from 0 to maximum 1.0 m and
the pits are also already opened. The top soil which will be generated in
the initial stages will be very less as the pits are already opened. The top
soil will be either used directly for plantation purpose or will be stacked
separately. The overburden will be stacked separately in the southern side
of the working pit. For the initial five years, dumping will be carried out in
this area.
(ix) Solid waste management
Same as above
(x) Power Requirement & Supply / Source.
Power will be required for office lighting only & for this, single Phase
supply is already provided by State Electricity Board has been in use
(Phase-Neutral 230V AC). Electricity consumption will be about 5KW. For
general lighting of mines & any other requirement 5KVA DG sets will be
utilized.
It is also envisaged that the power requirement during construction of
infrastructures phase shall be met by grid / installing DG set
