h) Reserve Estimation and Categorization of Reserves
The reserves estimated for the area have been categorized under proved, probable
and possible categories depending upon the degree of certainty.
Geological reserves as calculated are 523743MT. Mineral reserve is estimated up-to
demonstrated reserve i.e. proved and probable reserve. None of the part, of
delineated mineralized zone is falling in close proximity of applied area boundary;
therefore there shall be no blockage of mineral within statutory barrier.
Mineable reserve in retained area will be 215040MT in Soapstone. The Mine
development at the production rate of 55000MT/annum. Therefore life of mine is
expected to be 5 years.

Proposed production when the mine is fully developed: - After first five
year development balance development will be completed within two years.
Production of this period will be 14169.6 MT and 18 stopes will be formed. 8m
thickness corner pillar will be left above the 328m stope for support of adit 328
MRL. Thus 15 stope will be available for production. Each stope will contain
63640MT of ore. Balance ore left as pillars for support of the mine will be mined
out at the end of life of mine (before close of mine).
It is proposed to break 145000MT/annum soapstone from this mine when the
mine is fully developed. Taking the stripping ratio of soapstone to waste rock as
64:36 and recovery factor of 90% production of mine per day will work out to
be.
Mineable reserve and anticipated life of mine :-
-
Mineable reserves in retained area will be 235519MT in soapstone. The mine
development will be in a period of five years during this period nearly 28000MT
of soapstone will be mined out the balance 207519MT at the production rate of
54235MT/annum will be mined in 4 years. Therefore life of mine is expected to
be five years.
Proposed method of mining :-
Underground mining and Open cast mining with mechanized method will be
proposed for this mine.
Open cast mining :-
It is proposed to stock mass deposit of the block 1, the open cast mining will
continue.
5.3.2 Underground mining :-

soapstone. Max three 2cm cartridges will be inserted in a hole of 1.8m in the host
rock part and 2 cartridges separated by wooden spacers in a hole of 1.8m in
soapstone rest of the hole will be stemmed with plastic clay rolls. Holes will be
connected in series. Continuity and resistance tests will be made holes will then
exploded with the help o exploder wooden spacer will also reduce vibration and
throw of broken rocks besides reducing changes of crushing of soapstone.
Opencast Development :-
Blasting will be done in overburden and ore. Drilling will be done jackhammer and
tractors, compressor.
Drilling: Drilling will be done by jack hammer of 32 m dia. Burden & spacing for
holes will be kept Kept 1.0 m & 1.2 m respectively, and the depth of hole will be
1.5 m.
Blasting: The blasting will be occasionally required to remove over –burden.
Blasting will be done with all the safety measures.
Type of explosive:
1. Primary Explosive
2. ANFO (A.N. 94%, F.O. 6%)
3. Safety/ Detonating Fuse
4. Ordinary Detonator
More details of blasting is given below in point 5.8.
Mucking: The Brocken material (waste rock) will be removing by dumpers/trucks.
-
The specification of the mining machinery to be deployed is given
below:
Table: - 5.1
Safety precaution :-
As per regulation number 164 of MMR 1961, before a shot is charged , all person in
the vicinity will be send to take proper shelter . Steps will be take of prevent any
person approaching the safety precaution like efficient siron will be blown prior to
the blasting and at the end of blasting.
The blasting will be done by qualified blaster/mining mate under super vision mines
manager.
(i) Vibration Control
Vibration caused due to blasting will be controlled by the following steps: -
1. Blast holes will always be initiated by short delay detonators, rather than
adopting instantaneous detonating. Short delay in blasting of successive blast
holes will effectively reduce the vibration problem.
2. Number of holes per shot and blast will be kept to minimum, to guide the the
throw in the desired direction while keeping vibration and noise to
minimum.
3. Multiple blasting and “V” pattern of firing will be adopted to minimize forward
throw and have a good rock pile.
4. Mostly, holes will be fired towards the free face.
5. Use of ANFO which has low velocity of detonation, will also reduce the
vibration.
6. Blasting shall not be permitted within 100 m of surface structure.
7. Peak particle velocity at a distance of 100 m from the shot hole, shall not

9. Proper spacing & burden will be maintained.
10. Optimum utilization of the explosives will be ensured.
11. Direction of the hole will be maintained towards free face.
12. Electric delay detonator will be used.
13. Deck charging will be practiced for required fragmentation.
(ii) Noise Control
Noise control will be achieved by following the measures below: -
1. Shooting of large numbers of small well designed blast holes hastily planned daily.
2.Detonating fuse if not used for trunk lines.
3.Blasts will be planned to eliminate.
4.No plaster shooting is taken up as this is main reason of noise pollution.
(iii) Fly rock hazard control
1.Stemming length will not be kept less than the burden.
2.It will be ensured that the burden will not be excessive.
3.Inter row delay will be selected in manner, if required so that that each row
pushes its
burden in a forward rather than in an upward direction.

1.2 Impact Assessment
1.2.1 Impact on Land Use Pattern
In proposed method of mining is open-cast and underground mechanized
method., the top crust of earth i.e. scree is completely removed below which
mineral deposited is exploited. The overburden is completely removed to
provide access to the mineral deposit. In this manner land use pattern of an
area always changes in the form of voids formed due to excavation of mineral
and waste dumps left after mining. Therefore, measures are required for
reclamation of land affected due to mining and waste dumping to improve the
aestheticism of the area as well as to protect the land environment.
1.2.2 Impact on Air Quality
The air environment of the area is affected by several factors apart from
the mining. The damaged roads, other mines, agricultural practices in the area,
movements of vehicles add air pollution. The sources of air pollution in the area
due to mining will be mainly from dust generation by plying of trucks and
dumpers on unpaved mine road. The dust is also generated during drilling
whereas quality of air is affected due to emission of gases from different
machineries and Smoke generated during blasting which is momentarily, &
