(iii) Need for the project and its importance to the country and or region:
The lease area has been prospected by various Government Departments. Based on
the deposits available, the area is granted for mining lease for the extraction of Quartz,
Feldspar & Mica. Minerals Quartz, Feldspar & Mica are of industrial importance.
These minerals are essential for electrical, ceramic & glass industries. Feldspar is used
in the manufacture of porcelain, glass, paint & abrasive industries. Quartz is used in
glass, foundry, porcelain, paints, sandpapers and wood filler. The properties of quartz
make it valuable in electronics applications. Quartz is one of several minerals which
are piezoelectric, meaning that when pressure is applied to quartz, a positive electrical
charge is created at one end of the crystal and a negative electrical charge is created at
the other. It is also strongly pyroelectric which means that temperature changes can
cause the development of positive and negative charges within the crystal. While
some other minerals may have these properties, quartz is required because it is
transparent, tough, and of unvarying chemical composition. Mica is Used The highest
level of silica content in it makes it the most preferred mineral to be used in various
industries and also for other personal uses. It is invariably used for fillers, extenders
along with providing smoother uniformity, improving workability and prevents
cracking. This can be used as an insulator in home attics, concrete blocks and also
poured into open top walls. It can also be added to grease to increase its durability and
giving it a better surface. Mica can also be used as a soil conditioner particularly in
potting soil mixes and in gardening plots. Around 15 people will be employed in this
mine. It will create employment (though marginally) for local population of the
villages both directly and indirectly.
(iv) Demand-Supply Gap:
Quartz, Feldspar & Mica demand has been on an upsurge in the region Bhilwara due
to the high rise demand in the building and construction (electrical & paints), ceramic
& glass industries resulting in regional growth. Quartz, Feldspar & Mica is important
mineral and small movements in its demand may produce price fluctuations. The
mining industry has witnessed continuous modernization and adoption of new
technologies in recent years for the excavation of mineral like Quartz, Feldspar &
Mica. The proposed project is encountering huge market demand presently.
(v) Imports vs Indigenous Production:
There will be no import for the existing project. Local villagers will be employed.
There will be Indigenous production in the entire mining activity.

11
(vi) Export Possibility:
Not applicable as proposed mine production is for domestic use.
(vii) Domestic/Export Markets:
The excavated mineral will be used and sold in the local market of Bhilwara, Beawar,
Morvi (Gujrat),Rajsamand, Udaipur and nearby regions. In domestic market, feldspar
is majorly used as a glaze in ceramics, in making dinnerware and bathroom and
building tiles. In ceramics and glass production, feldspar is used as a flux. Quartz is
used in glass foundry, porcelain, paints, sandpapers and wood filler. The export
market is not envisaged for the proposed project.
(viii) Employment Generation (Direct and Indirect) due to the project:
A total of 15 persons will be required as direct and indirect employment for the
proposed mining activity which will be given to local workers.
3. Project Description:
(i) Type of project including interlinked and interdependent projects, if any:
The mining of Quartz, Feldspar & Mica will be carried out by open-cast semi
mechanized method. This will be an independent project. No interlinked project is
proposed.
(ii) Location (map showing general location, specific location, and project boundary
& project site layout) with coordinates:
The lease having area is equal to 5.00 Ha and falls in G.T. Sheet No. 45K/07.
The geographical location with respect to boundary pillars of the mining lease is
shown as under –
Latitude - 25026’59.41” to 25027’11.05” Longitude - 74023’32’51” to- 74023’49’3”
The key map stating the GT sheet number and coordinates of the lease area is attached as Plate No. 1 and the route map showing the connectivity of the lease area is attached as Plate No. 2.
(iii) Details of alternate sites considered and the basis of selecting the proposed site,
particularly the environmental considerations gone into should be highlighted:
This is a mining project which is site specific and cannot be shifted at will. Further,
the project is not situated in an environmentally sensitive area.
(iv) Size or magnitude of operation:
The proposed target production in this mining scheme will be of 1,06,228 TPA
(ROM) per annum over the lease area of 5.00 Ha.

12
(v) Project description with process details (a schematic diagram/flow chart showing
the project layout, components of the project etc. should be given):
The mining in the lease area is proposed to be carried out by semi-mechanized
opencast mining method.
The salient features of proposed mining method are:-
The height of the bench will be maintained at 3.0m.
The width of the bench will be maintained at more than 3m.
Considering the stability of rocks the final slope or say ultimate pit slope is
proposed 40° - 45° from vertical.
Transportation of the mineral from mine to end users will be done by hired
trucks which will be loaded manually.
The excavation of minerals will be done by process of drilling with jack hammer and
blasting by using explosives. After the blasting process, the bulk will be loaded as a
stack at separate placed with the help of excavator. The sorting of the mineral will be
done manually and thereafter would be loaded in tippers/trucks to transport the
mineral produced to industries.
(vi) Raw material required along with estimated quantity, likely source, marketing
area of final product/s, Mode of transport of raw Material and Finished
Products:
No raw materials are required for the production. After the production of minerals
Quartz, Feldspar & Mica, the sorted bulk will be dispatched via hired trucks/tippers to
various nearby units/industries in Bhilwara, Rajsamand, Chittorgarh, Udaipur, Morvi
(Gujrat) and other cities/districts.
(vii) Resource optimization/recycling and reuse envisaged in the project, if any,
should be briefly outlined:
Utmost effort will be made to put the excavated material to proper use. Approximate
97974 MT of mine waste consisting of overburden and mineral waste will be
generated during this mining scheme and will be dumped within the mine lease. The
plantation is proposed over an area of 16500 sq. m. inside the mining lease and rest
will be done outside the lease area. After complete extraction of minerals up to its
economic depth, the excavated pit will be used as a pond/reservoir for water which
will be used by local people for irrigation purpose.

13
(viii) Availability of water its source, Energy/power requirement and source should be given.
The continuous supply of water is necessary for the drilling process and sprinkling on
haulage road and approach road. The water for drinking purpose is obtained from the
nearby villages by taking permission from Panchayat and also from water tankers.
Water or Slurry pumps of 5 H.P. are also required to pump the water out during rainy
seasons.
Water Requirement Chart:
(ix) Quantity of wastes to be generated (liquid and solid) and scheme for their Management/disposal:
Approximate 97974 MT of mine waste consisting of overburden and mineral waste will be generated during this mining scheme and will be dumped within the mine lease. A garland drain of size 1m x 1m is also proposed at the bottom of the dump so as to prevent washout.
(x) Schematic representations of the feasibility drawing which give information of EIA purpose: As per the Environment Impact Assessment (EIA) notification dated 9th Sept. 2013, project falls under category 1 (a) B2. The EIA report is not required. Hence direct environmental clearance is needed for the project from the DEAC, Bhilwara The baseline studies will be undertaken as per schematic diagram.
