G-3 stage investigation by detailed

delineate southern extension of the

mineralised zone. The current map-

ping and detailed surface geochemi-

cal evaluat ion not only helped in

tracing the southern extension of

the main mineralised zone exposed

in Nanagwas main block but also

helped in delineating an additional

mineralised zone in the eastern part

of the block for a strike length of

about 1550 m. The drill ing in the

western zone established strike con-

tinuation up to 800 m. Similarly,

four boreholes drilled in the newly

delineated eastern zone established

subsur face con t inua t ion o f

mineralisation at least for 800 m,

establ ished for a s t r ike length of

G-4 stage preliminary search for potash

in gluconite sandstone/shale has been

carried out by mapping. As part of

surface exploration, 403 bedrock

samples were collected, including 80

pitting/trenching samples. A total

length of 300 m has been drilled in

scout boreholes. A total of 255 core

samples were processed for chemical

analysis. 37 rock samples representing

different litho units in the area were

collected for petrographic study. A total

of 5 rock/mineral samples were also

collected and submitted for XRD

analysis. The detached band of

glauconitic sandstone is recorded near

Mahuali. It varies in thickness from

1 m to 2 m and exends over a strike

length of 2 km. The olive-green Panna

shale is glauconitic in nature. The

maximum content of K2O in olive green

shale is 5.65% near Bapoti and 4.95%

near Kanotipura village. The maximum

value of K2O analysed in Taragarh

sandstone is 3%. The youngest

formation in the study area is Maihar

Sandstone, very limited exposures

intercalated with glauconitic sandstone;

lie in NE part of the study area near

Mahauli, Kharsai, Rajor and Atwewa

areas. The thickness of glauconitic

level varies from 0.01 m to 1m.

Petrological study indicates that

glauconite mineralisation in Panna

Shale and Jhiri Shale is of disseminated

type and is very fine in nature. In

sandstone of Taragarh and Maihar

formation glauconite mineralisation is

in the form of thin lenses and is

coarse in nature. The analytical result

of 33 bedrock samples indicates that

maximum concentration of potash in

olive- green shale of Panna and Jhiri

formation is 5.65% and 5.81%,

respectively. On the basis of

exploration data, broadly, four

potential zones have been demarcated.

Anomalous values of REE varying

from 829 to 1979 ppm have been

recorded in 6 samples from granite

exposed near Miyasa, Murasel and Goj

areas. Analysis of pyrite- bearing grey

quartzite to the west of Dolipada

recorded Zn content of about 784 ppm.

Analysis of two channel samples and

five grab samples collected from a 500

m long and 25 m wide gossan zone

exposed near Dolipada village recorded

zinc and lead, whose concentration

range from 210 ppm to 0.75% and 100

ppm to 0.19%, respectively.

G-3 stage investigation for gold and

associated basemetal mineralisation

was carried out. Exploration of gold-

copper mineralisation by drilling in

Mahuri Khera area was taken up based

on encouraging gold and copper values

in channel samples collected from the

area during 2014-15. During 2015-16,

four boreholes were drilled to test the

depth continuity of 800 m long

mineralised zone (MZ-I). Surface

evidences of mineralisation are in the

form of gossan, ferruginisation,

silicification, wall-rock alteration, old

workings and malachite/azurite

staining. Indication of mineralisation

is also seen in the form of intense

sil icif ication and hydrothermal

alteration. Fresh sulphides in the form

of pyrite and chalcopyrite are recorded

in dolomitic marble and tourmaline

bands. Based on these surface

indications, seven mineralised zones

have been identified. The sulphide

zones (1.10 m to 9 m) are recorded

mainly in the altered dolomitic marble

and massive dolomitic marble with

sparsely spaced alteration veins. The

main sulphide minerals are pyrite,

pyrrhoti te, chalcopyrite and

arsenopyrite in decreasing order of

abundance. The sulphide minerals are,

in general, medium to fine grained and

occurs as fine dissemination, veins,

veinlets, str ingers and smears.

Analytical results of core samples

received so far have revealed the

presence of 4.25m thickness zone with

cumulative length 4,138.00 m havebeen drilled. Lignite seams have been

intersected in the central and western

0.10 m to 3.50 m in the depth rangeof 109.90 m to 196.30 m. The lignite

seam is hosted within the Lower

Tertiary Palana Formation.

G-2 level exploration was carried out

in the area during the year 2015-16.The area covers north western part

of Jaisalmer basin which comprises athick pile of sediments ranging from

continental deposit of Lathi forma-

tion of lower Jurassic age (Lias) toShumar Formation of Quaternary age

with intervening sequence of Meso-zoic-Tertiary rocks. The area in gen-

eral is structurally undisturbed withmostly subhorizontal to horizontal

beds.Tertiary limestone, popularly

known as Khuiala Limestone occursin the form of a sickle shaped expo-

sure covering more than 900 sq.km.area. It has been assessed largely as

chemical /SMS grade. About 60% areais covered by the recent alluvium or

blown sand. The fragmentary iron-

stone belonging to Shumar formationof Quaternary age is developed in

the north eastern part of the area.Marl, calcrete/pebbles spread is also

observed in the area. Small exposures

of light pink to pinkish white, hardand massive nodular limestone were

recorded in the southern part of thearea. All the 50 boreholes have in-

tersected both hard and compactlimestone which is expected to be of

SMS grade and impure l imestone

which is expected to be of cementgrade. Hard and compact limestone

has been encountered in the form ofbands in the impure limestone, whose

thickness varies from 1 m to 16 m

along borehole. Thin bands ofgypseous clay have been recorded in

the boreholes located in the north-ern parts of the area. After receiv-

exploration has been carried out

during the year 2015-16. The area

forms flat topography with isolated

exposures of bioclastic l imestone,

that about 20% of limestone inter-

amphibole-magnetitebearing quartzite.

In the southern part of the mappedarea at the contact of quartzite and

inhomogeneous and shows two

variations viz. fine-to medium-grainedgranite and porphyritic granite. In the

Production

The total estimated value of mineral production

(excludes atomic mineral) in Rajasthan during

2015-16 at A 34,384 crore increased marginally by

1% as compared to the previous year. The State

contributed about 12% in the total value of mineral

production in the country in 2015-16. Of the total

estimated value 45% pertains to petroleum (crude)

alone. Production of different type of of minerals

(excluding minor minerals) have been reported from

the State of Rajasthan. It was the sole producer of

lead and zinc ores and concentrates, selenite and

wollastonite. Almost entire production of silver in

the country was also reported from the State of

Rajasthan during 2015-16. It was also the leading

producer of phosphorite/rock phosphate account-

ing 96% and limestone 22% of the total production

in the country. Besides, it was the second leading

producer of copper concentrates contributing 45%,

copper ore 28% and petroleum (crude) 23% of the

nation’s output for the year 2015-16.

The State Rajasthan claims the top position

among all the States in the country and accounted

about 12% of the total value of mineral production.

Among the important minerals, production of copper

concentrates increased by 45%, lead concentrates

32%, silver 30%, copper ore 17%, natural gas

(utilised) 14% and limestone 8% as compared to the

previous year. However, decrease in production was

noticed in zinc concentrate (1%), iron ore (3%),

petroleum (crude) (4%), wollastonite (6%),

phosphorite/rock phosphate (8%), lignite (12%),

manganese ore (56%) and vermiculite (77%) as com-

pared to that in the previous year. (Table-4).

The value of production of minor minerals was

estimated at A 8,807 crore for the year 2015-16.

The number of reporting mines in Rajasthan was

only 76 in the year 2015-16 as against 545 in

previous year.
