Tehsil-Jahazpur, District - Bhilwara (Rajasthan) over an area of 32.37

Ha. comprises of 31.43Ha. Government Waste Land and 0.94Ha.

Agriculture land. Earlier the lessee has obtained EC from SEAC, Jaipur

Rajasthan for production of 6000 TPA of Soapstone (A copy of EC is

enclosed as Annexure No.-1).

This is a proposal for enhancement of production of mineral Soapstone

from 6000 TPA to 40,000 TPA. Mining will be done by semi-

mechanized opencast method.


Bhilwara (Raj.)


Bench Parameters shall be – 1. Height - 3m, 2. Width always kept more

than the height. The main operation shall be drilling, blasting, sorting and

the transportation. Mineral transported by trucks and tippers.

(iii) Need for the project and its importance to the country and or region

Due to the increased development and modernization, the requirement of

soapstone has been on the rise over the last few years. Mineral soapstone

is used in many industries. The properties that give talc a wide variety of

uses and markets are its extreme softness and smoothness, good luster

and sheen, high slip and lubricating property, low moisture content,

ability to absorb oil and grease, chemical inertness, high fusion point,

low electrical and heat conductivity, good retention for filler purposes,

and high specific heat. Soapstone is used commercially in paper rubber,

textile and toilet industries. Beside it is used in talcum powder, polishing

agents, insecticides and an insulating material. In addition, it has the

advantage of being relatively abundant. It can be easily mined and

prepared for market. Mining industry play an important role in economic

sector in India. Rajasthan is rich in mineral wealth. The state is endowed

with major and minor mineral resources.

District Bhilwara is also known as zoo of minerals. The region, where

the project is situated is mostly dependant on agriculture and mineral

resources. The development of mining in the area provides direct and

indirect employment opportunities, infrastructure development,

communication and socio-economic infrastructure. The important

benefits accruing from the project can thus be stated as-boost to local

and regional economy, direct contribution to the state exchequer.

(iv) Demand and Supply Gap:

As soapstone is used in paper, ceramic, cosmetic, paints, plastic,

insecticides industries etc., the demand of soapstone is increasing day by

day. Demand of soapstone is always high but now a days due to rapid

industrialization and urbanization and due to its various physical

properties, demand of soapstone is increasing with pace of time. At

present demand of soapstone is much higher.


Bhilwara (Raj.)


(v) Imports v/s Indigenous Production:

Rajasthan is the major producer of mineral soapstone. Mineral soapstone

is in abundant in the area. Chainpura is the area dominant with mineral.

It had become a major source of economy in the area/region.

(vi) Export possibility

Export possibility of mineral soapstone from this area is high Soapstone

in the district. Major consumers of soapstone are various industries like

paper, insecticides, ceramics etc. Also the possibility of export in

international market is high as the Indian soapstone is considered to be

the second best in the world after Italy.

(vii) Domestic/Exports Markets

Soapstone produced will be supplied to the factories located in

different parts of the State as well as in country. Mineral Soapstone

will cater the local demand in the state. There is huge possibility of

export of mineral Soapstone from the area.

(viii) Employment generation (Direct & Indirect) due to the project

By this mining project of soapstone in the area, peoples will get

employment. The project directly generates the employment for the

local people and indirectly for the others. Approximately 23 persons

will get direct and about 115 persons will get indirect employment

from this soapstone mining project.

3.0 Project Description

(i) Type of Project including interlinked and interdependent projects, if any.

The proposed project is mining unit of Soapstone. This is a proposal for

enhancement of production of mineral Soapstone from 6000 TPA to

40,000 TPA. There is no Interlinked/Interdependent project, only mining

of mineral Soapstone is proposed.

Location of the mining lease is as under:

Fig. 1.1 Location map of Study Area

(iii) Details of alternate sites considered and the basis of selecting the proposed site, particularly the environmental considerations gone

into should be highlighted.

It is naturally occurring rocks which is site specific due to its geological

origin. The opencast semi mechanized mining is proposed in this lease

area for excavation of mineral and overburden. This lease is granted by

the State Government of Rajasthan. Mineral found in the area is site

specific hence no need for alternate site consideration.


Bhilwara (Raj.)


(iv) Size and Magnitude of Operation

Total area of mining lease is 32.37 Ha. comprises of 31.43Ha.

Government Waste Land and 0.94 Ha. private agriculture land. This is a

proposal for enhancement of production of mineral Soapstone from 6000

TPA to 40,000 TPA.

(v) Project description with process details (a schematic diagram/flow chart showing the project layout, components of the project etc.

should be given)

A. Method of Mining

� Rock Fragmentation: The mineral is compact and intergrowth in

nature and cannot be easily fragmented with the use of conventional

tools. Thus drilling & blasting operation are needed to exploit

deposit. Drilling & blasting practices are also required to remove the

overburden/ waste. This work is carried out by the experienced &

authorized contractors on contractual basis.

� Mucking and Transportation: The mucking of fragmented O/B is

semi-mechanized way. The mineral is first sorted out manually to

remove the impurities associated with it & it is placed separately as

per grade/category. The sorted mineral is then carried to the temporary

stack yard & then further loaded in the truck for it’s onwards

transportation to the factories located in the state and in Gujrat & other

parts of the country. In the next five years as proposed the working

would be extended to systemize the pit. The faces would be advanced

in all the directions & depth wise for getting production as well as

development from the top of the hill, as per required norms of mining.

This will help in better utilization of the resources and systematic

development of the mine.

The guidelines followed for the purpose are as follows:

1. Shaping and sizing of the pit systematically.

2. Proper benching as per the Rules and Regulations made there

under. The proposed bench height is about 3m & the width of the

bench shall be kept more than the height.

3. The waste generated shall be dumped within the lease area.


Bhilwara (Raj.)


4. Presently manual working has been carried out as the rate of

production is low from the expected target. In order to increase the

rate of production, extent of mechanization is also proposed.

B. Extent of Mechanization

Initially the drilling is proposed on hire basis by the authorized

contractors. The dumpers will also arrange on hire basis for removal of

OB/waste and minerals. In table the list of machineries which will be

required for mechanization is given in table 1.2:

Table 1.2

S.No. Machine Quantity Make Capacity

1. Compressor 2 Local 75 CFM

2. Jack Hammer 4 Local 32 mm

3. Dumper 3 Tata 10 tones

4. Diesel Pump 1 Local 15 HP

5. Excavator 1 Tata 250 HP

C. Anticipated Life of Mine

Average production proposed is about of 40,000 MT of per annum.

Therefore Anticipated life = Mineral yet to excavated/ Avg. annual

production.

= 4537763/40000 = 113.4 years

The life of mine may vary as per actual production obtained.

Regional Geology: Geologically, Bhilwara super group occupies major

part of the district. The Vindhyan super group represented by sandstone,

D. Local Geology

Mineral deposit of the lease area belongs to the Bhilwara Super Group.

The mineral is exposed on the surface as well as below the ground level.

To understand the geology of the area, surface geological mapping was

carried out on a scale of 1:2000. This plan elucidates the different

Lithological units, their dips and strikes, nature and behavior of

mineralization and various other geological features (if any) observed

during the course of mapping. The mining Lease area comprises of

rocks of Bhilwara Super Group represented by Quartzites ferruginous.

The stratigraphic succession of different litho units exposed in the area is

as follows:

Recent - Alluvium/Soil

Bhilwara Super Group - Quartzite intruded with Soapstone

The litho unit wise details are as follow:

a) Soil Cover/ Alluvium-- The soil/alluvium covers almost a small part of

the lease area It is derived locally and occupies the low-lying areas and

can be used for cultivation purposes. The thickness of soil cover varies

from few centimeters to 20 centimeters.


Bhilwara (Raj.)


b) Quartzite- this is hard compact fine to medium grained light to grayish

white to light colour and bedded or sheeted, because of jointed closely

parallel to bedding planes. The General strike of planes is NE-SW with

dips 40 – 45° towards North – East.

c) Structure- The main lease area has mineral Soapstone. There is no

major geological disturbance observe in the area. However the rock type

exposed in the area depict many small structural feature such as joints,

fractures, foliations and minor folds etc.

d) Grade and Ore Characteristics- The mode of occurrence of Soapstone

has imparted certain characteristics that have greatly enhanced the value

of the deposit. The mineral Soapstone occurs in mixed form & is

separated after mining at the surface. From economic point of view the

mineral Soapstone is of good quality, easily separable & free from

objectionable materials.

(vi) Raw material required along with estimated quantity, likely source, marketing area of final products/s, Mode of transport of raw

Material and Finished Product.

No raw material is required during the mining process.

(vii) Resource optimization/recycling and reuse envisaged in the project, if any, should be briefly outlined.

Water will be accumulated in the excavated mine out pit area during

rains and pits serve as a natural ground water recharge structure. Water

collected in the sump will be used in various purposes at mine viz.

plantation, dust suppression etc.

(viii) Availability of water its source, Energy/power requirement and source should be given.

Total water requirement in the mine will be about 5 KLD for drinking &

domestic use, dust suppression and plantation. Drinking water will be

brought by water tanker from dug wells and Tubewells in nearby villages.

Diesel is used as motive source of primary energy for mine machinery.

Diesel will be used in compressor, JCB and dumpers and tractors. About

200 liter per day is assumed to be consumed. Diesel will be outsourced

from nearby diesel pumps. Nearby villages is well electrified.
