GEOLOGICAL SURVEY OF INDIA Southern Region

1. INTRODUCTION

• Geological Survey of India (GSI) was set up in 1851 with its headquarters at Kolkata, primarily to locate coal deposits for Railways.

• Subsequently, in order to study the various geological provinces / milieus and conduct detailed mineral exploration in geologically unique territories spread over the country, six Regional Offices were set up at Lucknow, Jaipur, Nagpur, Hyderabad, Shillong and Kolkata. State offices were also set up in all the States of India to conduct geological / mineral investigations in the States of the Union, and to assist the State Governments in their endeavours in geological work.

• Geological Survey of India, Southern Region (SR) with its headquarters at Hyderabad was set up in November, 1961 under the Directorship of K. R. Khedkar.

• The Southern Region Office comprises (i) State Unit Andhra Pradesh at Hyderabad; (ii) State Unit Tamil Nadu & Puducherry at Chennai; (iii) State Unit Kerala at Thiruvananthapuram; and (iv) State Unit Karnataka & Goa at Bengaluru. After implementation of the HPC recommendations and Mission mode operations in SR, the activities of three Marine and Costal Surveys (M&CS) Divisions (Kochi, Mangalore and Visakhapatnam) under Mission 1A, two Divisions of Coal and Lignite under Mission II B--Natural Energy Resource (NEnR) and two units of Remote Sensing and Airborne Surveys (RSAS—Hyderabad and PPOD, Bangalore) of Mission IB have been brought under SR. Similarly the Regional Training Institute (RTI), Hyderabad and FTCs at Kothagudem and Wajrakarur are working under Southern Region headquarters whereas the Field Training Centres (FTCs) at Salem and Chitradurga are attached to the respective State Units under jurisdiction of which they are situated.

GEOLOGICAL CONTEXT

Southern peninsular India comprising States of Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Kerala, Goa, Tamil Nadu and

the Union Territory of Puducherry exposes lithological assemblages from Archaean to Holocene. It is divisible into four physiographic units namely, (i) East and West Coastal Plains, (ii) Eastern Ghats, (iii) Deccan Plateau and (iv) Western Ghats. The Deccan Plateau constitutes the region predominantly and it is flanked on either side by linear stretches of coastal plains and is drained by major easterly flowing rivers like the Godavari, Krishna, Tungabhadra, Pennar, Palar, Cauvery and Vaigai, as also a few westerly flowing rivers such as Mandovi, Zuari, Netravathi, Bharathapuzha, Periyar and Pamba, which originate from the Western Ghats. GEOLOGICAL MILIEU OF SOUTH INDIA Archaean to Proterozoic

Southern peninsular India is a shield area comprising Dharwar Craton in the north and Southern Granulite

Terrian in the south; a boundary called the Fermor Line separates these two. Dharwar Craton encompasses major parts Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh States. Dharwar Craton is a typical Archaean-Proterozoic granite-greenstone terrain. An array of granitic lithounits such as tonalite, trondhjemite, granodiorite, adamellite and granite constitute this Archaean-Proterozoic granitic terrain. These are deformed and metamorphosed into complex gneisses. The granitic rocks of varying composition and the gneisses are together known as Peninsular Gneissic Complex (PGC). The PGC contains several linear, deformed and folded greenstone / schist belts. Prominent intra-cratonic Proterozoic sedimentary basins namely Cuddapah Basin, Kurnool Basin, Bhima Basin and Kaladgi Basin have formed over the basement of Dharwar Craton. The craton is bounded in the east by Eastern Ghats Mobile Belt, in the northeast by the Bastar Craton, and is overlain in the northwest by the basalt flows of Deccan Trap. Eastern Ghats Mobile Belt is a granulite terrain made up of charnockite, khondalite, quartzite, calc-



5

granulite, pyroxene-granulite, granite and leptynite. This belt extends into Orissa in a northeasterly direction. In the northern part, Dharwar Craton is partly covered by Proterozoic sediments of Pakhal Supergroup and Phanerozoic sediments of Gondwana in a NW-SE trending rift basin called as Godavari Basin / Rift / Graben. They are flanked on either side by Proterozoic sedimentary sequences of Penganga and Sullavai basins. Different types of Charnockites and Gneisses (PGC I & II) are the predominant rock types in the States of Kerala and Tamil Nadu. In these states Neo-Proterozoic magmatism is represented by intrusives of alkaline group of rocks and granitoids. Meso-Proterozoic dykes are present in the area to the North of Palghat Cauvery Lineament and the Mesozoic dykes are seen in the western part of Kerala. Palaeozoic and Mesozoic Sediments: Rocks of Gondwana Supergroup are exposed along the Pranhita-Godavari valley in Andhra Pradesh. In Tamil Nadu, Lower Gondwana Formations occur in north south trending linear belts in the southern part of the Palar Basin. Upper Gondwana rocks occur in Tiruchirappali, Sivaganga and Palar sub basins. Recent Borehole intersections (2010) indicate the presence of Upper Gondwana plant fossils at depth in Vridhachalam sub basin. Gondwana sediments of the Godavari Valley host rich coal deposits in Andhra Pradesh. In the coastal belt of Tamil Nadu, marine Cretaceous rocks distributed in Tiruchirapalli, Vriddhachalam and Pondicherry sub basins have been lithostratigraphically divided into different groups. Some of the formations under these groups are very rich in their fossil content, mostly, lamellibraches, gastropods and brachiopods. The 26 m long fossil tree occurs in ‘Trichinopoly Group’. Deccan Trap:

Basalt flows of Deccan Trap with their infratrappean and intertrappean sedimentary beds, cover a vast

area of Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh over an area of about 42,000 sq km in the northern and northwestern parts of South India. Adilabad, Nizamabad, Medak, Ranga Reddy, Mahbubnagar, East Godavari and West Godavari districts of Andhra Pradesh and Bidar district and parts of Belgaum, Bijapur and Gulbarga districts in Karnataka expose Deccan Trap. Tertiary Sediments:

Tertiary sedimentary sequence in Andhra Pradesh is represented by Rajahmundry Formation, along the coast between Samarlakota and Eluru. In Tamil Nadu Lower Tertiary sediments are seen in Tiruchirappali and Pondicherry sub basins. Upper tertiary sedimentary sequence is represented by Cuddalore Formation which occupies thousands of sq. km along East Coast. Huge lignite deposits occur in these sediments. NLC is exploiting these lignite deposits. In the southern part of the west coast, particularly in Kerala, Tertiary sediments are represented by Warkalli and Quilion formations. Quaternary and Holocene Sediments:

The Quaternary sediments in the southern peninsular India occur along inland river valleys and along the

coastal tracks interrupted by the prograding deltas of major rivers. They are represented by thick blankets of alluvium, gravel and colluvial deposits, beach sand, kankar, soils of various types and laterite.

MINERAL RESOURCES OF SOUTH INDIA

The southern Indian States are endowed with rich mineral wealth. Significant mineral deposits such as ferrous, non-ferrous and noble metals, precious and semi-precious stones, strategic minerals, fossil fuels and other industrial minerals are found in diverse geological formations ranging from Archaean to Quaternary. The Archaean high grade metamorphic rocks such as Sargur Group host mica, copper, barytes and gemstones; the greenstone belts of Dharwar Craton are repositories of gold and iron ore; Peninsular Gneissic Complex is the host for diamondiferous kimberlite pipes, apart from bearing potential for dimension stones, chromite and semi-precious stones. Granulites of Eastern Ghats Supergroup and Southern Granulite Terrain contain bauxite, manganese, graphite, apatite, gemstones, tungsten and dimension stones. The Proterozoic rocks that are confined in the intra-cratonic basins, contain basemetals, barytes, asbestos, limestone, dolomite, diamonds, iron and manganese ores, magnesite, phosphorite and uranium. Late Palaeozoic to Early Mesozoic rocks of Gondwana Supergroup contain coal deposits and clay. The Tertiary and Quaternary rocks contain oil and natural gas, lignite, beach sands, clay, diamond and other gemstones. Mineral deposits linked to the growth of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) are limestone, bauxite, iron, barytes, coal, lignite, gold, diamond, dimension stones, manganese, mica, oil and natural gas. The Southern States offers favourable geological milieu to host all the mineral deposits linked with GDP growth.

GEOLOGY AND MINERAL RESOURCES OF SOUTHERN STATES

ANDHRA PRADESH Geology: The State of Andhra Pradesh has an area of 2,76,800 sq.km. and is bounded by N 12045’ – 19050 and E long. 76054’ – 84045’. Physiographically, the State comprises hill ranges, plateaus, deltas and coastal plains. The State is divisible, from east to west, into three distinct units viz. (i) the coastal plains, interspersed with deltas of the major rivers like Godavari, Krishna and Pennar, to the east (ii) the Eastern Ghats (prominent in the north) and Nallamalai hill ranges (prominent in the south) to the west and (iii) the undulating plateau region dotted with hill ranges to the western most. A major part of the State forms the Peninsular Shield referred to as Dharwar Craton, which comprises the Late Archaean granite – gneiss and a few widely separated narrow greenstone belts, especially in the south and west. The Craton is bounded by the Eastern Ghats Mobile Belt to the northeast and the Pranhita – Godavari Valley to the north. The Proterozoic sedimentary sequence, Cuddapah and Kurnool, occupy large tracts in the south – central part. The Pranhita-Godavari valley exposes a sequence of sedimentary rocks ranging in age from Proterozoic to Cretaceous. The Gondwana sediments of Pranhita – Godavari valley are the only coal bearing formations in South India. The Deccan Trap effusive cover some of the formations in the northwest and west. The isolated Cretaceous – Tertiary outcrops and the Quaternary alluvial covers occupy the coastal belt, which hosts sizeable reserves of oil and natural gas – both onshore and offshore. Tertiary laterite capping are conspicuous along the coast and also over the Eastern Ghats. The East Coast Bauxite deposits, one of the biggest deposits of Asia, occur as cappings on the Eastern Ghats.

Mineral resources: The State has huge reserves of bauxite, limestone, coal, barytes and dimension stones and is a leading producer of these minerals. Other minerals of commercial significance that occur in the State include apatite, base metals, clay, diamond, gold, graphite, manganese, mica, petroleum and natural gas, quartz, silica & radioactive sands, garnet, feldspar, beryl, ruby, slate, marble, rare earth elements and radioactive minerals.

Andhra Pradesh has large reserves of different grades of limestone (about 35.18 billion tonnes). It accounts for nearly 20% of the country’s limestone resources. Quite a significant proportion of country’s cement production takes place in 34 cement plants that are in operation in Andhra Pradesh. The cement production is of the order of 12 Mt / annum. Besides cement grade limestone, significant reserves of BF, SMS and high-grade limestone is also found. AP stands next to Orissa in bauxite reserves. Good quality bauxite, with significant aluminium-content occurs as high-level cappings over the khondalite and granulites. The deposits in AP and Orissa with a total reserve of about 2423.538 Mt constitute one of the largest bauxite deposits in the world. The largest barytes deposit in the world is located in Mangampeta in Cuddapah District. This deposit occurs in the Pullampet Shale of the Cuddapah Super group. The state possesses reserves of coal, non cocking coal up to 1200 m depth have been estimated to be 22054.58 Mt (April 2011), from coal bearing formations in Godavari Valley. Archaean greenstone belts are the major repositories of gold. They occur as linear, narrow and subparallel N-S to NNW-SSE trending schist belts amidst Peninsular Gneissic Complex. Andhra Pradesh has the distinction of having produced many of the historically famous diamonds like the Koh-i-noor, the Great Mogul, the Hope and the Orloff. Both primary (kimberlites / lamproites) and secondary (conglomerates and gravel) source rocks of diamond occur in different parts of the State. Andhra Pradesh has immense potential for granite based dimensional stone industry. The Archaean-Proterozoic granite-gneiss terrain occupying more than 60% of the state is a storehouse of multi-coloured rocks of which the Galaxy Granite occurring in Prakasam district has high export potential. The State contributes about 6% of the manganese ore production in the country. The ore is mainly associated with kodurites of Khondalite Group in Eastern Ghats Supergroup and Penganga beds in the Pakhal Basin. At the national level, Andhra Pradesh occupies eighth position in mineral production with a share of about 8%. Apart from these mineral commodities significant prospects of oil and natural gas have been identified over an area of about 40,000 sq km on-shore and off-shore in the Krishna-Godavari basins in parts of East and West Godavari and Krishna districts. The State is endowed with significant occurrences of strategic minerals/metals, which include monazite, ilmenite, tungsten, uranium and molybdenum. These are found in various geological environments. A number of occurrences of precious and semiprecious stones are known from gem belt in the Eastern Ghats, distributed in East Godavari, Visakhapatnam and Vizianagaram districts.

TAMILNADU & PUDUCHERRY Geology: Tamil Nadu, with an area of 1,30,058 sq.km. is situated in the SE part of the Indian peninsula between North Latitudes 08000’ and 13030’ and East Longitudes 76000’ and 80018’. The western part comprises the Western Ghat roughly trending N-S and marked by a continuous range of Hills. The central part of the state is a vast track of dissected pediments and pediplains with residual hills. A coastal plain with associated landforms marks the eastern part. The Union Territory of Puducherry is located on the East Coast, about 160 km. south of Chennai and occupies an area of 492 sq.km. Crystalline rocks of Archaean to late Proterozoic age occupy over 80% of the area while the rest is covered by Phanerozoic sedimentary rocks mainly along the coastal belt and in a few inland River valleys. The hard rock terrain comprises predominantly of Charnockite and Khondalite groups and their migmatitic derivatives, supracrustal sequences of Sathyamangalam and Kolar groups and Peninsular Gneissic Complex (Bhavani Group), intruded by ultramafic-mafic complexes, basic dykes, granites and syenites. The crystalline rocks are derived through a complex evolutionary history during Archaean and Proterozoic times with multiple deformations, anatexis, intrusions and polyphase metamorphic events. The sedimentary rocks of the coastal belt include fluviatile, fluvio-marine and marine sequences ranging in age from Carboniferous to Mi-Pliocene and sediments of Quaternary age. The Pre-Crambrian terrain of Tamil Nadu is extensively fractured and deeply faulted particularly in the northern and central parts. The Phanerozoic sediments are relatively unaffected. The Phanerozoic sediments show well-preserved bedding planes where the dips vary from horizontal to 100. The crystaline rocks on the other hand, had undergone polyphase deformation and metamorphism resulting in well-developed foliation (S1, which follows the litho contacts at many places. Subsequent deformations have induced local development of new S fabrics. In the northeast, the regional structure trend is NNE-SSW. This sector is characterised by long linear canoe-shaped folds as a result of F2 deformation. The northwest is characterised by nearly N-S regional structural trend. Although polyphase folding has been recognized in this terrain, no distinct regional structures have been interpreted. In the central part, the regional structureal trend is E-W often swerving to ENE-WSW and WNW-ESE. The southernmost sector, to the south of Tambaraparani River shows a distinct NW-SE structural grain. A number of shear zones have been recognized in the Pre-Cambrian terrain. This includes Moyyar, Bhavani, Salem-Attur, Cauvery, Dharmapuri, Gangavalli and Achankovil shear zones. Mineral resources: Tamil Nadu is endowed with varieties of minerals. The chief mineral resources are fossil fuels (lignite, petroleum and natural gas), metalliferous minerals (iron ore, bauxite, gold, platinum, molybdenum and poly-metallic sulphides) and non-metallic and industrial minerals (limestone, dimension stone, magnesite, ceramic raw materials, graphite, gypsum, heavy mineral, silica sands, vermiculite, quartz, feldspar and gemstones). There is scope for getting coal bed methane in the deep level lignite beds. Lignite is associated with Cuddalore Formation in Cauvery basin. A total of 31327 million tonnes of lignite has been estimated in Cuddalore, Perambalur, Puducherry, Ramanathapuram, Thanjavur and Tiruvarur districts. About 0.79 million tonnes of poly-metallic mineralisation, mainly zinc and lead has been estimated in Mamandur, Tiruvannamalai Districts. A total of 26.85 million tonnes of bauxite ore has been estimated for the State. Bauxite occurs as irregular lenses - pockets and high-level laterite cappings over charnockite in the Nilgiri, Shevroy, Kollimalai and Palani Hills. Gold occurs associated with quartz confined to shear zone in the Nilgiri district and associated with granite greenstone belt in Krishnagiri District. The State possesses around 500 million tonnes of low grade iron ore resources, mainly magnetite, with an average grade of 38% iron. The major deposits occur in Salem, Vellore, Tiruvannamalai, Villupuram, Dharmapuri, Thiruchirappalli, Namakkal and Perambalur districts. Molybdenum occurs in different geological settings - in Alangayam, Vellore district it is associated with quartz-barite veins, in Harur- Uttangarai Belt (HUB), Dharmapuri District it is confined to a shear zone traversing epidote hornblende gneiss and quartzofeldspathic gneiss and in Karadikuttam area, Dindigul District molybdenum is assocated with pegmatite intrusive into migmatitic gneiss. Layered mafic and ultramafic complexes of the state are the repositories of PGE.

Sittampundi UM Complex in Namakkal District and Mettupalaiyam UM Copmplex in Erode district are currently being prospected.

Substantial limestone deposits occur in Tamil Nadu. Non-crystalline (sedimentary) limestones of marginal garde are located in parts of Cuddalore, Perambalur and Tiruchirapalli districts, confined to the Creatceous formations of Cauvery Basin. Tertiary coralline limestone is exposed in the series of islands in Gulf of Mannar, Palk Bay and Rameswaram. High grade crystalline limestone occurs in parts of Salem, Karur, Madurai, Virudhunagar and Coimbatore districts as pockets in the migmatite terrain. The total limestone reserves of the state are estimated as 1282 million tonnes (IBM, 2008). Prominent deposit of magnesite is located on Chalk Hills, Salem district. Magnesite occurs as criss-cross veins traversing dunite / peridotite. About 45.52 million tonnes of ore has been estimated. Graphite occurs in Sivaganga District, Kurinjankulam in Tirunelveli District, Palakottai Hill and near Pudupalaiyam in Vellore District and Tirumangalam, Ponnamangalam in Madurai district. A total of 7.91 million tonnes of resource has been estimated in the Sivaganga Graphite Belt which is currently under exploitation. Gypsum reserves of Tamil Nadu are estimated to be 27.311 mt mainly reported from Perambalur and Lalgudi in Tiruchirapalli district. The State has major heavy mineral deposit (ilmenite, rutile, monazite and garnet-bearing sands) that occur as beach placers. About 8.62 mt of zircon, 28.35 mt of garnet, 106.68 mt of ilmenite, 5.11 mt of rutile and 4.91 mt of leucoxene has been estimated for the southern coastal area (IBM year book 2008). Apatite occurs in hybrid rocks (syenite-pyroxenite) and in the carbonatite near Sevattur, Vellore District, with total reserves of 2, 40,000 tonnes. Phosphatic nodules occur in association with gypseous clay and shale of Karai Formation, Uttattur Group of Cretaceous age, in Tiruchirapalli district. A total probable reserve of 1,27,000 tonnes was estimated. The P205 content of the nodules varies from 21.14 to 26.50%. Tamil Nadu is the dimensional stone capital of the country. Rasipuram Blue, Moonstone/Raw, Black granite, Olive/sea Green, Columbu Jubrano, English Teak/ Someka Red/Black, Sappire Blue, Paradiso, Pink Multi, Red Wave, Red Mond, Hosur Grey, Tiger Skin, Kashmir White and Kunnam Black are some of the commercial varities produced in the State. A probable resource of 30.39 million cu m has been estimated up to 2008. Apart from these, other commodities like asbestos, barytes, clay, corundum, feldspars, gemstones, mica, ochre, moulding / glass sand, quartz, sillimanite, steatite and vermiculite are also present. Minor occurrences of minerals such as beryl, celestite, columbite-tantalite, garnet, ilmenite, kankar, nickel ore, pyrite, allanite and salt are also recorded

In the Union Territory of Puducherry, ilmenite and garnet sands occur along the coast of Karaikal with reserves of 17,26,862 tonnes (source AMD). In Puducherry, china clay (2 mt) and limestone (15 mt) are also available.

KARNATAKA & GOA Geology:

The State of Karnataka occupying an area of 1,91,792 sq.km. is bounded by north latitudes 11032’ and

18030’ and east longitudes 74005’ and 78032’ whereas the State of Goa bounded by latitudes 14054’ and 15048’ and east longitudes 73048’ and 74020’ along the West Coast between Western Ghats and Arabian Sea has an area of 3,701 sq.km.

The States of Karnataka & Goa forming a part of the Indian Shield are constituted of rock formations ranging in age from 3300 m.a. to 5 m.a. Barring a narrow coastal strip of about 5000 sq.km. of Tertiary and Quaternary sediments and another 31,250 sq.km. of Deccan basalts, the remaining area is occupied by Archaean-Proterozoic rocks. Major part of the state is constituted of Dharwar Craton comprising greenstone belts, gneisses and granites which, at the southern margin of the craton, give way to granulite suite of rocks. The greenstone belts, host a variety of mineralization, essentially consist of meta-volcano-sedimentary sequences, surrounded and dissected by granite-gneiss complex. Dharwar craton is considered to comprise two tectonic blocks viz; the Western Tectonic Block and the Eastern Tectonic Block. The green stone belt in the Eastern block are considered as true greenstone belts whereas those of the Western block are considered as schistose belts. The greenstone belts of the western block include the Sargur Group and the Dharwar Supergroup. The main litho-assemblages in the Sargur Group are meta ultramafics such as serpentinised komatiite, talc-tremolite schist, amphibolite, high grade metapelites such as fuchsite quartzite, kyanite-sillimanite schist, carbonates and Banded Iron Formation. The Dharwar Supergroup is divided into lower Bababudan Group, consisting largely of volcanic suites with shelf/platformal metasediments rich in iron and manganese precipitates; and the upper Chitradurga Group, largely made up of meta-sedimentary sequences of argillite-greywacke assemblage with meta-volcanics. Litho assemblage of the eastern belts comprises greenstone suite consisting of bimodal mafic-felsic volcanics, and pyroclastics and minor amount of meta-sedimentary sequence consisting of quartzite, meta-pelites, marbles and Banded Iron Formation. The peripheral zones of these belts are extensively migmatised by the younger phase of Peninsular Gneiss, hence the basement-cover relationship remains ambiguous. Characteristically these belts are endowed with gold mineralisation. The craton preserves a billion year orogenic history from 3400 m.a. to 2400 m.a. Epicratonic or intracratonic sedimentary basins called Purana Basins occupy the northern segment of the craton whose northern part in turn is concealed by Deccan basalts. The southern coastal tracts of Dakshina Kannada district expose beds of shelly limestone, clay and grit, intercalated with lignite layers which are considered to be the extension of Warkalli Beds of Kerala. The majority of the rock sequences of Karnataka are lateritised due to their exposure to suitable climatic condiditions for a prolonged period. These laterites occur as extensive cappings in the Western Ghats and in coastal plains. The other rock types exposed belong to Quaternary formations and include Recent Soil and Alluvium.

The State of Goa comprises a narrow strip of land measuring about 100 km. in north-south direction and 20-50 km. in east-west direction, along the West Coast. The Goa State constitutes the northwesterly extensions of the granite-greenstone terrain of Karnataka comprising gneisses, migmatites, schists, meta-volcanics (both acid and basic), meta-greywacke, banded ferruginous quartzite associated with mangniferous phyllite / argillite, limestone, dolomite and thin bands of quartzite intruded by granite and ultramafic complexes. Basaltic flows of Deccan Traps are exposed in northeastern border of Goa. Mineral resources:

Karnataka occupies the premier position in terms of metallic mineral production. This state is the sole producer of felsite and the leading producer of gold accounting for 94% of the total production of gold in the country. Karnataka State is second largest producer of metallic ores and occupies seventh place in mining non metallic minerals. No fuel minerals of economic grade and scale are reported. Total reserves in terms of percentage contributed by the state to the all India resources is 64% of gold, 36.5% of manganese ore, 80% of magnetite and 22.5% limestone. Manganese, chromite and ores of iron (both haematite and magnetite) are the principal commodities being exploited for decades; the state still holds huge reserves of the same in the geographic domains of Chitradurga belt, Kudremukh belt, Western Ghat belts and Sandur basin. Aluminium rich laterite cappings, a residual product of selective and sustained weathering and leaching of Deccan basalts and basement granitoids/gneisses in parts of coastal districts constitute the notable metallic ore of aluminium of Karnataka. Major mineral deposits and estimated reserves are narrated here in brief.

Goa, though has a limited area, it is well endowed with economic mineral deposits, particularly iron and

manganese ores. Because of their proximity to the sea port, they are being mined extensively for export. Besides iron and manganese, a number of deposits of bauxite, silica sand, low grade limestone, clays, low grade chromite and quartzite are also known from Goa.

KERALA Geology: Kerala is bounded by N Latitudes 8017’ and 12047’ and E Longitudes 74052’ and 77025’ and has an area of 38,864 sq.km. spread in a linear stretch along the southwest coast of India. The land is divisible into four physiographic features – (i) a low-lying coastal plain fringing the Lakshadweep Sea in the west, (ii) vast stretch of laterite-capped midland region between 30 and 200 m height above MSL, (iii) the moderate to gently sloping foothills of the Western Ghats, between 200 and 600m elevation above MSL and (iv) the rugged high mountains of the Western Ghats, which rise to heights of over 2500 m above MSL. While hard crystalline rocks occupy about 35,955 sq.km. of the total area, the rest of 2,909 sq.km. area is covered by soft sedimentary formations. The major rock types found in the State belong to the Khondalite and Charnockite Groups and the Peninsular Gneissic Complex of Precambrian age. Meta-basic, meta-ultrabasic and meta-sedimentary rocks belonging to the Archaean Wayanad Group (equivalent to the Sargurs of Karnataka) are the oldest rock units in the State, which are found as large enclaves, mainly within the Peninsular Gneissic Complex occupying the northern parts of the State. Granites, syenites, granodiorite, quartzo-feldspathic veins, gabbro and dolerite dykes are the youngest acid and basic intrusives, found across the State. The only sedimentary formation found in the State is the Tertiary Warkalli Formation. Detached, linear outcrops of Warkalli Formation are found all along the west coast, with the type section exposed at the Warkalli cliff. Quaternary deposits of marine fluviomarine and fluvial origin are extensively found over the coastal plains and within major river basins. Mineral resources:

Kerala is not a rich State as far its mineral wealth is concerned. However, its clay and heavy mineral rich beach placer deposits are being effectively exploited. General Cullen (1840-60), had discovered graphite deposits at Vellanad and Venganur in Thiruvananthapuram district in the erstwhile Travancore (now South Kerala) and during the period 1898-1912, these deposits were under active mining. Bruce Foote (1883) and William King (1875, 1878, 1882) of the Geological Survey of India had taken traverses across the State and recorded their findings on geology and mineral resources. In 1907, a Geology Department was formed in Travancore for the systematic survey of minerals. The important mineral deposits found in the State are- china clay, beach sand rich in heavy minerals like ilmenite, rutile, monazite, zircon, garnet, sillimanite etc; bauxite, glass-sand, iron-ore, limestone, lime shell, gold, graphite, dimension stones, gems and semi-precious stones. The resource potential of important minerals found in the State is given below.

2. ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE OF THE REGION: IN MISSION – REGION MODE Organizational Structure of the Region:

GSI has its Central Headquarters in Kolkata and six Regional Offices, geographically based at Kolkata, Lucknow, Jaipur, Nagpur, Hyderabad and Shillong, and has State Units in all the States. GSI is now an Attached Office of the Ministry of Mines. Till July, 2009 it was a subordinate office of the Ministry. Its upgradation follows recommendation of a High Powered Committee set up in 2008.

The Union Cabinet had constituted a High Powered Committee (HPC) to review the functioning of

Geological Survey of India and assess its capacity to meet the emerging challenges taking into account the technological and manpower resources of the organization. The report of the committee was accepted by the Government. As per the recommendations of the HPC the organizational structure of GSI is undergoing changes commensurate with its new-found status. The organizational structure of GSI is already substantially reoriented to meet the needs of specialization as well as multidisciplinary study. Accordingly, changes in organizational setup were made based on the Mission – Region – Hybrid Matrix Mode of functioning of the organization. However, to meet the challenge and to take up the task envisaged, GSI has to expand its human resource potential and infractural facility to manifold which can be achieved only over a period of time. The process is on and continuous, perceptible changes are taking place.

Implementation of the Mission-Region Hybrid Matrix mode of functioning is already effected by the

Southern Region. The current organizational setup of the GSI, SR in Region-Mission mode is shown in the Organogram attached at the last page.

High Mg – granitoids were also identified in Srinivasapura area. Presence of leucogranitic dykes and multiple magmatic fabrics in granitoids are recorded. Evidence of high temperature deformation, folded magmatic banding and chalcopyrite-pyrite vein in granitoids are noted. The item is continued during the FS 2012-13.

(iv) Study of Tectonomagmatic and Metamorphic Evolution of Varshnad Hill Sector in Southern Granulite Terrain, Tamil Nadu:

Specialised Thematic Mapping was carried out around Andipatti area, Theni district (Toposheet 58G/9). The rock types exposed in the area are; charnokite, khondalite group of rocks, quartzite, granite gneiss and granites. Charnockite is a major rock type exposed in the study area. The rock is associated / interbanded with Khondalite Group of rocks. Charnockite is intruded by granites. The item has been concluded in FS 2010-12.

(v) Study of Tectonic Framework and Mineral Potential of Kangeyam – Chinna Dharapuram Sector of Kinattukkadavu – Kangeyam – Chinna Dharapuram Tectonic zone of Central Tamil Nadu:

Specialised Thematic Mapping was carried out in parts of Karur and Tirupur districts, Tamil Nadu covering parts of Toposheets 58F/9 and 13. The study area is located in between Palghat – Cauveri shear zone in the north and Kodaikanal Charnockitic massif in the south. The study area is mostly covered with massive and gneissic charnockite. Pyroxenite granulite occurs as bands and enclaves within the gneissic charnockite. Structural details with respect to mineralization were studied in the area. The item is completed in FS 2010-12.

(iii) GEOCHEMICAL MAPPING:

National Geochemical Mapping (NGCM) programme of the entire country was launched by GSI during F.S.2001-02, to generate baseline data for monitoring variations in the levels of chemical elements at the Earth’s surface and to identify new potential locales for undiscovered mineral resources. Geochemical Mapping is not only useful in locating/developing natural resources but, also finds wide application in environmental, agriculture, public health and other societal concerns.

Systematic coverage under geochemical mappings is carried out on 1:50,000 scale with sampling and

analysis of stream sediment, soil, humus and surface water etc. Under this program, from each 1 km. x 1 km. grid, one stream sediment sample is to be collected from appropriate streams and sites, and these samples are to be composited for every 2 km. x 2 km. grid for analysis. Soil (Regolith and C-horizon) and stream water samples are to be collected on a 5’ x 5’ grid. The programme also envisages collection and analysis of humus samples (where available), and flood plain sediments from rivers having drainage basin area of 500 – 1000 sq.km. Chemical analysis of samples are carried out for 61 elements (Package A-26, B-1, C-2, D-4, E-1, F-2, G-1, H-22, I-2). In Southern Region the geochemical mapping has gained momentum for its accelerated coverage. Special thrust has been given especially in the mineral prognosticated areas. After the initiation of NGCM programme in F.S.2001-02, in SR a total area of 37,476 sq.km. has been systematically covered upto F.S.2009-10 along with sampling. The current status of Geochemical mapping is summarized in the Table below and the comprehensive coverage of the area by Geochemical Mapping in Southern Region is shown in the map.

were in Andhra Pradesh and two items each in Karnataka & Goa, Tamilnadu & Pondicherry and Kerala. Subsequently, three additional items of geochemical mapping, two items in Andhra Pradesh and one item in Karnataka & Goa were introduced in the later phase of FS 2010-12. Thus, a total of twelve items of Geochemical mapping were executed during FS 2010-12. All the field items were successfully completed, with achievement of total envisaged targets. During the FS 2012-13, due to the deployment of reasonably good number of newly recruited Geologist, Geochemical Mapping in SR got the impetus and priority for extensive coverage. Thirty NGCM items have been taken-up in SR during the FS 2012-13, covering 21970 sq.km. area spreading over thirty two toposheets. The main degree sheets proposed to be covered are; 57F, M, B, I, L & 49M. Out of a total of thirty new items of geochemical mapping taken up during the FS 2012-13, eleven items are in SU:AP, eight items are in SU:K&G, six items are in SU:TNP while five items are in Kerala.

A brief account on the highlights of the work done in the State Units are given below: ANDHRA PRADESH In SU:Andhra Pradesh, after the iniation of NGCM programme in 2001-02 field season, a total number of 21 toposheets, including 15 toposheets in 57E and 6 toposheets in 57 M have been completed by the end of F.S.2009-10, covering an area of 16,080 sq.km. During FS 2010-12, five items were taken up and an area of 4137 sq.km. was covered in toposheets 57E/4, 57F/1,5,6,9 and upper part of 57F/10. These include GCM in Anantapur district of Andhra Pradesh and Bellary district of Karnataka. The mapping so far carried out mainly covered parts of Gadwal, Jonnagiri and Nellore schist belts which are known for their mineral potential. Samples generated, adhering to the NGCM guidelines, have been analysed and the analytical results have been processed and elemental distribution maps for each toposheet have been prepared. The study has indicated some anomalous values of gold in 57E/12, radioactive nature of granites in 57E/3 and anomalous zones of REE in parts of 57M/11. Local inhabitants of the area falling under T.S.: 57M/10&11 are found to be severely suffering from various health problems which appears to have been resulted due to the consumption of polluted water from various sources, which are contaminated with REE and toxic elements. NGCM spin off programme of preliminary search of Molybdenum and REE in Kanigiri area, Prakasam district has led to the delineation of a 40 to 70 cm wide mineralized zone of app. 100 m strike length besides, some anomalous concentration of Mo, Pb and Zr in adjoining areas. Elements belonging to Lanthanoid series comprising REE (La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Eu, Sm, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb, Lu) were analysed by ICPMS and distribution map for the combined REE was prepared for the Degree sheet 57E. Statistical analysis of data from Degree sheet 57E has indicated the average value of LREE (La to Lu) in the area to be 137 ppm (approx.) with minimum of 44 ppm and maximum of 760 ppm. From the distribution map, it is quite clear that the NW – SE trending anomalous zone passes through T.S. No.57E/1, E/5, E/6, E/11 and E/16. The anomalous zone is stretched for about 100 km. along NW-SE direction with an average width of 15 km. Background geology of the area indicates that the anomalous zone is to be litho-controlled as the rock assemblage is Grey hornblende biotite granite, Biotite gneiss, Grey hornblende biotite gneiss, Grey biotite granite. Further work is required to ascertain the nature and control of REE mineralization in the area. Lithology of the area covered in T.S. No. 57F/5,6,9 & 10 is grey hornblende-Biotite Gneiss and course grained pink hornblende biotite granite of PGC-II, chlorite-sericite schist representing Ramagiri Schist Belt rocks. The economic importance of the area is manifested by the occurrence of kimberlite pipes and existence of old workings for gold.

For the Annual Programme of 2012-13, eleven items are proposed covering an area of 7896 sq.km. All the items are falling in OGP (Obvious Geological Potential) areas and are proposed so as to complete the degree sheets of 57F & 57M.

KARNATAKA & GOA: In SU: Karnataka &Goa, work under National Geochemical Mapping Programme was initiated during F.S.2002-03. From F.S.2002-03 to F.S.2009-10, systematic geochemical mapping is carried out covering an area of 6906 sq.km. in 12 toposheets, of which 8 toposheets are falling in 56D and 4 toposheets are in 48E. During the FS 2010-12 Geochemical Mapping in T.S.No.56 D/10, 14, 57B/4, 57B/8(southern part) & 57B/3 (southern part) in parts of Gulbarga, Chitradurga and Shimoga districts were completed covering 2998 sq.km. as against revised target of 2940 sq.km. The area so far covered is mainly underlain by Hungund-Kushtagi schist belt, Peninsular Gneissic complex, Proterozic sediments and Deccan Trap. The analytical data from toposheets 56D/8,11,12,15 & 16 indicate anomalous zones of REE, U, Th, Nb,Zr and Hf over granitoids on the eastern and northern side of the Hatti-Maski Schist Belt. A 25 m long Cu enriched zone beyond the occurrences of Tinthini Cu prospect has been identified besides, some higher values of Fe Ti, V and Sc. From the analysis of stream sediment samples in T.S.No.56D/3, it is observed that the granite/gneissic terrain is characterized by a high abundance of SiO2, Ga, Ba, Pb and low abundance of Fe2O3, CaO, MgO, Ti, Cu, V, Zn. On the other hand, the basaltic terrain is characterized by a low abundance of the former and a high abundance of the latter group of elements. The clear distinction between two lithologies is evident from this distribution of elements. The NW-SE trending linear K2O, Ba, Nb, Rb, Th, Y, Zr high anomalies and low anomalies of MnO, Co, Ni, Sc noticed in the central part of the study area indicate the influence of Krishna River on the sediments. The samples over the basaltic terrain in the north indicate a high abundance of Cu.

For the Annual Programme of 2012-13, a total of eight items have been undertaken under GCM covering an area of 6016 sq.km. in degree sheet 57B. TAMILNADU & PONDICHERRY In SU: Tamil Nadu and Puducherry, during the F.S.2001-02 to F.S.2009-10, systematic geochemical mapping has been carried out over an area of 8929 sq.km, covering 13 toposheets, one falling in 58J and the remaining 12 in 58I. During F.S. 2010-12, Geochemical mapping in Toposheet 58I/5,9, & 14 and 57L/12 was completed covering an area of 3021 sq.km. against revised target of 2880 sq.km. Higher incidences (compared with crustal abudance) of gold, REE, U, Th, Zr and Hf have been recorded in few composite stream sediment samples collected in toposheet 58J/5,58I/4, 7&8. Consistent lean values of gold (5to 73ppb) are recorded over a stretch of 7 km, along the south flood plain of Cauvery River inT.S.58J/5. However, no well defined probable economic zone is identifiable. Contrasting geochemical milieu possibly reflects contrasting geological domains occurring on either side of the Cauvery shear zone which passes through the northern part of 58J/5 toposheet. For the Annual Programme of 2012-13, six items with a total taget of 4512 sq.km. covered by toposheets 58I/1, 57L/4,8, 12, 58E/13 & 14 are proposed. KERALA In Kerala state, National Geochemical Mapping was initiated during F.S.2003-04 and till F.S.2009-10, 8 toposheets including one toposheet falling in 58A, 6 in 58B and one in 49M(part), covering an area of 5561 sq. km. has been mapped and sampled under NGCM programme. During FS 2010-12, two NGCM items were taken up in toposheet Nos. 49M/15, 49N/13, 49M/16(north part), 49M/10(part) and 49M/11 covering southern part of the Precambrian peninsular shield and Kozhikode iron ore belt in Kozhikode and Mallaopuram districts. An area of 1499 sq.km. was covered against the revised target of 1499 sq.km. Interpretation of the analytical data of the first phase of NGCM carried out during F.S. 2003-04 and 2004-05 in T.S. 58A/4 and 58B/1 lying southwest of the Nilambur Gold Belt of Malappuram district indicates significant geochemical anomalies for Au, Th and REE. Two distinct gold anomalous zones (zone-I & zone-II) have been brought out by the NGCM studies in toposheets 58A/4 and 58B/1. As these zones are inferred to continue in adjacent toposheets (49M/16 and N/13) geochemical mapping was extended into these sheets during F.S.2009-10, for the delineation of the westward extension of the anomaly zones. In F.S.2009-10, southern part of toposheet 49M/16 was taken up. Geochemical mapping was continued in the area in the F.S.2010-12.

Gold anomalous zones in parts of toposheets 58A/4, B/1 and B/2, in parts of Malappuram and Thrissur district, was not reported prior to NGCM work. Rechecking the values by analyzing the original samples from the 1km x I km grid also confirmed the presence of gold in most of the samples. Field inspection revealed that the auriferous sulphide-bearing quartz veins intruding into charnockite might be the source for the gold anomaly. However, due to limited distribution, these small veins do not qualify as lode zones.

Geochemical Mapping Project carried out in Toposheet 58 B/7 during F.S: 2007-09 has brought out for the first time an anomalous high fluoride zone in the catchment area of Chimmony dam covering an approximate area of 75 sq.km. The high fluoride zone near Chimmony dam has been delineated based on the analytical result of the composite stream sediment samples. Fluoride value in the stream sediment sample collected from Toposheet 58 B/7 ranges from 50 ppm to 1948.8 with an average of 506.6 ppm against an average upper continental crust value of 500 ppm.

During GCM in toposheet 58B/10 in Palakhad district, Kerala, about 34 water samples collected from dug wells gave F̄ values ranging from 1 to 9 ppm. About 20 water samples had Fˉ value greater than 1.5 ppm. According to WHO, the permissible limit for F̄ in drinking water is 1.5 mg/l (WHO, 1984). Groundwater with high Fˉ content has been reported from Chittur-Kollengode area of Palakkad district, Kerala. Due to high concentration of F̄ in groundwater, both dental and skeletal fluorosis is prevalent. To have a comprehensive study, to ascertain the causative factors and to delineate the extent of F̄ contamination , an area of 336 sq km in Chittur Taluk covering Chittur and Kollengode Blocks bound by latitudes 10˚35’ and 10˚45’ and longitudes 76˚35’ and 76˚45’ falling in SOI toposheet 58B/10, Kerala has been taken up vide code no. ENV/SR/KRL/2012/109 in FS 2012-13for detailed study under Medical Geology.

For the Annual Programme of 2012-13, five GCM items covering 3546 sq.km. area falling in Toposheets 49M/5,6,9,10,13,14 and in 58B/8 of Kannur, Kozhikode, Waynad, Trissur and Ernakulam districts are proposed. T.S. No.49M/6, 10 & 49M/9 fall partly in Mahe of Puducherry and 49M/13 falls partly in Kodagu district of Karnataka.

(iv) GEOPHYSICAL MAPPING:

Systematic Geophysical Mapping has been initiated with the objective to prepare gravity and magnetic map of the country. The compiled geophysical anomaly map on 1:50,000 will provide the baseline data over which various strategies of interest can be worked out. The baseline geophysical data is of immense importance to focus on potential/probable target areas for mineral exploration in concealed area at deep as well as shallow level.

During F.S.2008-09 and 2009-10, Southern Region has carried out two important GPM investigations in

Tamil Nadu. One in Sitampundi Ultramafic complex and another in Kinattuk Kadavu-Kangeyam Chinna Dharapuram (KKC) tectonic zone. In Sitampundi area, Namakkal and Erode district of Tamil Nadu the surveyed area falls in the south of Palaghat-Cauvery shear zone. The Geophysical Mapping was taken up to delineate the chromitite bands within the ultramafic sequence. The study indicate a gravity high zone in the central part of the toposheet-58F/14with magnetic bipolar anomalies, correlated to charnockite group of rocks and a gravity low with sparse magnetic variations in the south-western part around Kolapalli suggesting anorthosite body. Granulite gneissic terrain of central Tamil Nadu falling in toposheets 58F/2,6 and 10 in Coimbatore district of Tamil Nadu was covered to delineate the KKC (Kinattukadavu-Kangeyam-Chinna Dharapuram) tectonic zone. Ultramafic bodies occur within the KKC tectonic zone bounded by shears on either side. The ultramafics in the area indicated to be a favourable loci for Ni, Cr & PGE mineralization. Small gravity high combined with magnetic low has been observed in the SE of the area, suggesting Anorthosite- Amphibolite rocks of Satyamangalam Group.

In Southern Region a total of 62,000 sq.km. area has been covered by GM survey upto September, 2010.

During F.S.2010-12, 7981 sq.km. area has been mapped against the annual envisaged target of 7100 sq. km. During F.S. 2010-12, two items of Geophysical Mapping (GPM) in Toposheet Nos. 58K/4, 7 & 8 and

58E/4, 8 & 12 in Tamil Nadu and Regional Magnetic (TF) Surveys in Toposheet Nos. 57F/1,5.9, 13 & 14,Anantpur District, AP were taken up. Earlier the area was covered by magnetic(VF) survey. For making the dataset complete for National Geophysical Programme, magnetic (TF) survey was carried out in the same area.

During the Annual Programme 2012-13, one item each of Regional Gravity & Magnetic (TF) suverys in

Toposheets 58E/6, 9, 10 in Tamilnadu and in toposheets 57I/3,4,7 in Andhra Pradesh and Regional Magnetic (TF) surveys in toposheets 57F/2,6,7, 10 in Andhra Pradesh under the Project: Geophysical Mapping have been under taken. Electrical imaging of deep crustal structure by Magneto-Telluric method is also included under the shelf of items that was to be taken up subject to the availability of domain experienced personnel and the necessary equipment.

Offshore survey including sea bed mapping, geophysical surveys, geotechnical studies, environmental

studies and mineral investigation are being carried out within the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) including the Territorial Waters (TW) by the Marine and Coastal Surveys Division.

The geological mapping of the territorial waters is complete for the state of Andhra Pradesh and is almost complete except for the southern tip of the Tamil Nadu state. The heavy mineral occurrences in the north Andhra coast are of particular significance. A brief description of investigations carried out in the offshore area of the four southern states, viz., Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Kerala and Karnataka is given below.

Reconnoitre and detailed investigations for heavy minerals (HM) have been carried out in the Andhra

Pradesh, Kerala and Tamil Nadu in the east and west coasts of India. Twelve cruises on board RV Samudra Shaudhikama, exclusively for HM have been completed covering the area from Kolachel in Tamil Nadu to Azhikkal in Kerala with variable sampling grids. Block wise reserve estimation has also been done in this area. Detailed sampling by vibrocoring at 250m x 250m grid was carried out in a small area off Chavara, Kerala as per a MoU between GSI and IRE Ltd. Seventeen cruises off Andhra Pradesh from Kapaskudi in the north to Pudimadaka in the south has been carried out for placer mineral investigation in variable grids of 5 x 2 km. to 0.5 x 0.5 km. grids.

The preliminary offshore geological mapping of the sea bed from 1987 till 2009 has indicated promising occurrences of offshore placer sands within 8 to 35m isobath off North Andhra Pradesh coast. Three blocks have been identified 1) Bavanpadu-Kapaskuddi (5 to 15% of heavies) and 2) Bodaguntlapalem-Kutukanda (5 to 10 % of heavies) and 3) Pudimadaka- Revupolavaram (3 to 10% of heavies).

As part of the baseline mapping for MCS during F.S. 2010-12, there were 24 items of which 5 items were in Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ), 17 items were in Territorial waters and 2 near coastal surveys.

The 5 EEZ surveys were distributed in two cruises off Andhra Coast and one each off Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra and Gujarat Coasts.



44

Six TW surveys in the east coast were distributed in three cruises off Andhra coast and three off Tamil Nadu coast.

Eleven TW surveys in the west coast were distributed as three off Kerala coast, one off Kanyakumari and one in Gulf off Mannar, both taken up by west coast offices, one off Karnatka and five off Gujarat. Out of the five cruises off Gujarat, only three could be undertaken as the survey vessel was not ready for survey during the 2nd half of FS 2010-12 due to unavailability of dry-docking slot at Cochin Shipyard Limited.

The two near coast Geotechnical items (063 & 064) are off Kerala related to Harbour projects using mechanized boats. Two additional coastal items (067 and 067A) were taken up during the FS 2010-12 with due approval from CHQ.

The cruise numbers are as shown below:

MINERAL RESOURCE ASSESSMENT

ANDHRA PRADESH During the Field Season 2010-12, State Unit: Andhra Pradesh has taken up 8 items under Mission IIA. These include two items under gold, two items under diamond, one item under limestone and one item each under PGE, Chromite and Fullerene. Preliminary investigation for gold & other associated elements west of Remeta of Gadwal schist Belt, Mahabubnagar & Kurnool districts, AP (G4). The Gadwal Schist Belt is a hook shaped belt with two arms, the eastern arm considered as the main Gadwal Schist Belt and the western arm joins the Raichur Schist Belt in Karnataka. The NNW-SSE trending Gadwal Schist Belt extends over a cumulative straight length of 85 Km from Narayapet to Veldurthi in the south. In the study area the supra crustal rocks trend NNW-SSE dipping due south comprising mainly volcanic rocks with minor chemogenic and tuffaceous sediments. It is further divided into lower ‘Sangala Formation’ constituting mainly metabaslts and amphibolites and an upper ‘Ulindakonda Formation’ which is essentially made up of intermediate to acid volcanic and interflow chemogenic sediments. These two formations are intruded by granitoids, gabbro and dolerite dykes and quartz and pegmatitite veins. A total of 164 samples were analysed for gold conent, out of which only one stream sediment sample analysed gold content of 150ppb.

Exploration for gold in Tellakonda block of Veligallu Greenstone Belt, Cuddapah district, Andhra Pradesh (G-3) Exploration in Tellakonda block was carried out with an objective to test the subsurface behaviour of the mineralized zone of 550 m strike length at 60 m vertical depth. The four boreholes drilled have intersected feeble to moderate mineralized zones in the form of sheared quartz veins within the amphibolite and granite. The core samples were analysed and the weighted average gold values ranged from 0.10 to 1.05 gm/ton.

Search for Kimberlite/Lamproite in Palwai block in Nalgonda District, Andhra Pradesh and Search for Kimberlites in Amangal and Bhimanapalli Blocks in parts of Mahabubnagar, Nalgonda and Rangareddy districts, Andhra Pradesh (G-4) The search for Kimberlites were taken up in Palwai block in Nalgonda district and in Amangal and Bhimanapalli Blocks in parts of Mahabubnagar, Nalgonda and Rangareddy districts. The areas were covered by multi disciplinary approach which include study of IRS imagery, aerial photograph, geomorphological, geological and geophysical maps of the target areas. Detailed ground surveys coupled with intensive stream sediment sampling was carried out. Heavy mineral concentrates were examined for the specific Kimberlite indicator minerals. 55 stream sediment samples in Palwai block, 185 stream sediment samples from Amangal and Bhimanapalli blocks were carried out and four lamproitic bodies were brought out to the 1.6 km west and 1.4 km to the SW of Vattikonda area in Paluvai block in Nalgonda district. In all the blocks, major heavy mineral population includes magnetite, garnet, ilmenite, spinel, hornblende, zircon, rutile, biotite etc. Preliminary exploration for PGE in the western margin of Ramagiri schist belt, Anantapur district, Andhra Pradesh (G-4) An area of 113 sq. km has been mapped in the NNW – SSW hill at NW and SW of Ramagiri and south of Mushtikovilla on 1:12,500 scale. The rock types comprise of meta-sedimentary as well as meta-volcanics in association with granitoids. The rock types identified in the field are quartzite with quartz-chlorite-sericite schist, metabasalt, BIF, ultramafics, chlorite schist, metagabbro and vein quartz. Two different ultra mafic rock units, one (UM-I) at the north of Mushtikovilla village and the other (UM-II) at the south of Mushtikovilla were identified.



48

UM-I unit: It is a NNW-SSE trending narrow linear ultramafic body, traced for a strike length of about 14 km form Konda Motu in the north to Enamurala Gutta in the south. The bands show pinching and swelling nature. Thickness of the band varies from 0.5m to 250m. The ultramafic rock are tremolite-talc schist, serpentinite, dunite (at places partially altered), magnetite bearing chlorite-schist and pyroxenite. UM-II unit: trend varies from NNW-SSE to NNE-SSW and is located at the south of Mushtikovilla village. The ultramafic rocks are tremolite-talc schist, dunite, magnesite bearing talc schist occurring as small patches, lenses within the chlorite-schist. EPMA study of ultramafic rock indicate that Mgnesite grains are Mg- rich in coreand Fe-rich in rim. The opaques are magnetite and chrom-spinel (core rich in Cr, rim rich in Fe). XRF study shows that the Ni value in the ultramafic rocks ranges from 443ppm to 3001ppm and The Cr value ranges from 458ppm to 6973ppm. The PGM values ranges from < 19 ppb to 629 ppb. Preliminary investigation for limestone in the area west of Nandikotkur, Cuddapah basin, Kurnool district, AP. (G-4) The Narji limestone occurs as a narrow band of 1.5 to 2.00 km trending in NE-SW direction for about 25 km. The chemical analysis of the limestones show that the CaO content varies from 41 to 46% and SiO2 ranges from 12 to 20% on an average. The limestone is of cement grade. Investigation for possible fullerene occurrence within carbonaceous tuff of Mangampeta baryte prospect and demarcation of carbonaceous tuff bearing areas for prospective drilling work around Mangampeta, Kadapa district, Andhra Pradesh. The Mangampeta is known for world class single largest deposit of barytes. Geologically the rocks belong to the Pullampet Formation (Time equivalent of Cumbum Formation) of Nallamalai sub-basin, Cuddapah Basin of Meso Proterozoic age. Detailed Geological Map for an area of 0.7 sq. km was prepared marking the contacts between tuffs, dolomite and barite. The carbon spherules and tubules within the dolomite and stromatolitic dolomite were observed for the first time during the reconnoitory surveys. The branching type stromatolites were also observed for the first time in the dolomite. The carbon mineralisation was observed for the first time within the dolomites. The carbon occurs as spherules, tubules, amorphous form and in hydrothermal veins. The glassy carbon is occurring as spherules and tubules showing conchoidal fracture, black streak, low specific gravity and non-soiling nature. This glassy carbon shows resemblance to the shungites of Proterozoic rocks of Karelian province, Russia (where natural fullerenes were reported by Dr. Peter R Buseck) in its physical properties and XRD peaks. The carbon spherule also hosts silica spherules. The occurrence of carbon and silica together indicates liquid immiscibility and high temperature processes which may have been caused by high energetic events such as lightning or paleoseismic events or impact. Exploration for chromite mineralisation in the area between Kondapalli and Gangineni area, Krishna and Khammam districts, Andhra Pradesh (G-4) Large scale mapping of 200 sq km area and detailed mapping of 1 sq km area was carried out on 1:12,500 and 1:2,000 scale respectively. The rocks belong to the Khondalite and Charnockite groups of Eastern Ghat Supergroup. Layered igneous complex in the form of gabbroic anorthosite and younger intrusives like pyroxenite, pegmatite and quartz veins have been observed. Chromite associated with the ultramafic rocks particularly in pyroxenite and serpentinite occur as lenses, veins, veinlets, thin bands and disseminations. Two types of pyroxenite bodies were noticed in the area i.e. one in the form of enclaves within charnockite which are devoid of chromite and younger pyroxenite bodies bearing chromite which are intruded within charnockite along the shear plane of an antiformal fold trending

The work also involves preparation of soil and rock core samples for determination of various geotechnical parameters and maintenance of the Geotechnical Laboratory. (ix) EARTHQUAKE GEOLOGY:

The Earthquake Geology Division in Southern Region was formed in 1994 with an aim to carry out pre and post earthquake disaster studies in Southern India, covering Andhra Pradesh, Tamilnadu, Pondicherry, Kerala, Karnataka & Goa. The Earthquake Geology Division carries out investigations concerning macro- and micro- seismicity in selected vulnerable areas with a history of seismicity. Since its inception the division was involved in various earthquake related studies, including distinguished work on Seismic Hazard Microzonation of Visakhapatnam, Pondicherry and Chennai urban agglomeration. The work involves an integrated multidisciplinary approach using inputs from geological, geomorphological, geophysical, geotechnical and geohydrological studies to classify the urban agglomeration into different discrete zones of seismic hazard. The seismic hazard microzonation study has immense societal value as the seismic status of an area provides vital inputs to the geoscientists, civic planners and administrators to adopt necessary preparedness in regards to earthquake disaster safe structures and avoidance of vulnerable areas thus reducing the risk.

Till FS 2010-12, the Earthquake Geology Division has completed Seismic Hazard Microzonation

(SHMZ) mapping of Visakhapatnam, Pondicherry, Chennai & Vijayawada urban agglomeration. In the SHMZ, the urban areas are classified into three seismic hazard zones, viz., High, Moderate and Low Hazard. The high, moderate and low hazard zones indicate areas having relatively high, moderate and low potential for liquefaction and seismic shaking considering an event of >6 magnitude (VII intensity-MSK scale) earthquake.



57

The seismic hazard maps are of considerable significance for land use and urban planning. In the high seismic hazard areas construction of seismic resistant structures should be made mandatory.

During F.S. 2012-13, a two year programme of Seismic Hazard Microzonation of areas in and around

Trichur urban agglomeration, Kerala was initiated. Mapping was carried out in the eastern part of the study area covering 65 sq. km. falling in Survey of India toposheet no 58B/2 and thematic data on geology, geomorphology and landuse were generated. Geologically, the study area comprises dominantly of quaternary/tertiary sediments which is underlain by crystallines of Archaean age.

The study area has low relief ranging from 0m in the western part to 161m in NE part. The area is

occupied by two major geomorphic zones (i) the low land in the west and (ii) small mound/hillock and valley tract in the east. The small mound and hillocks occurs as upland landforms and consists of laterite/lateritic soil (Tertiary). It belongs to Kunamkulam Formation (Pliocene/Upper Tertiary age). The laterite is massive, hard, reddish brown colour. These are underlain by cystallines (Archaean). The valley tract is occupied by flood plain landforms comprising sand, silt and clay admixture (Quaternary). The landuse pattern in upland landforms is plantation and settlements whereas in floodplain it is mostly used for agriculture purpose. The area is drained by a few streams flowing west, the prominent being the Alur Puzha.

Mapping was carried out in and around Tolur, Venkidanga, Vaga etc. areas covering 20 sq. km. falling in Survey of India toposheet no 58B/2 and thematic data on geology, geomorphology and land use were generated. Geologically, Venkidanga area comprises dominantly sand with mixture of silt and clay forming strandline and belongs to the Guruvayur Formation. In Vaga area, lowland forms flood plain. The flood plains are waterlogged and are mostly used for paddy cultivation by dewatering. Coconut plantations are seen in the upland areas.

During the period, eighth borehole (BHT-08) was drilled at Tolur in the low land of the flood plain area. The borehole was started on 29.11.2012 and was closed on 08.12.2012. The depth of borehole is 11.1m. The SPT was conducted at regular interval of 2m which yielded N values viz. 3m to 3.45m (SPT-1) – 12, 17 & 19; 5m-5.45m (SPT-2) – 13, 32 & 42; 7m-7.45m (SPT-3) – 35, 75 & 80. Three nos. of SPT soil samples were collected from this borehole.

The ninth borehole (BHT-09) was drilled at Annakara (near Solar Agency) in lowland of flood plain area. The borehole was started on 14.12.2012 and was closed on 20.12.2012 after attaining the bedrock. The depth of borehole is 22.0m. The N values obtained at different depths are viz. 3m to 3.45m (SPT-1) – 1, 3 & 5; 5m-5.45m (SPT-2) – 10, 15 & 16; 7m-7.45m (SPT-3) – 19, 20 & 25; 9m-9.45m (SPT-4) – 15, 17 & 19; 11m-11.45m (SPT-5) – 9, 12 & 15; 13m-13.45m (SPT-6) – 10, 15 & 17; 15m-15.45m (SPT-7) – 7, 8 & 10; 17m-17.45m (SPT-8) – 15, 20 & 30; 19m-19.45m (SPT-9) – 25, 30 & 40. Nine nos. of SPT soil samples were collected from this borehole.

Joint field traverses was also carried out along with the team of Geophysicist associated with this project with an aim to identify suitable areas for drilling and location of VES and Seismic site response survey sites so as to cover the gap areas.

(xvii) GEOLOGICAL MUSEUM / ROCK GARDENS / GEOPARKS: Geological Museum:

The Geological Survey of India started its Southern Regional Office at Hyderabad during 1961. In the formative stages, a Geological Museum was established for housing specimens of rocks, minerals and fossils of geological importance, collected by the field officers.

In the year 1990, when GSI shifted to its own premises at Bandlaguda a Geological Museum was set up in the GSI Complex of Southern Region, Hyderabad. The museum was named after Dr. William King, a pioneering worker of GSI in 2004. It is housed in a quite elegant 14m x 23m single, 13m – high hall.

The museum has two sections, one dedicated to rocks, minerals and ores and other to fossils. The museum houses over 305 rocks and 235 mineral specimens collected from southern parts of the country representing the entire geololgical column. Rocks are displayed genesis-wise. Minerals are displayed separately as per mode of occurrence and industrial use. Approximately 103 specimens of dimensional stones/building stones are displayed as cut and polished slabs/blocks.

The Palaeontology section houses various plant and animal fossils. It contains vertebrate fossils, mainly of dinosaurus, collected from Godavari-Pranhita valley Andhra Pradesh and inveretebrate fossils, most importantly Ammonites, etc. A total of more than 163 vertebrate and invertebrate fossils along with 14 reptile models of different sizes are stored in the museum. Special mention may be made of the full-sized fossilized skeleton of Rhynocosaurus discovered in Gondwana Formations from Karimnagar district, Andhra Pradesh. GSI, SR has reconstructed a full sized dinosaur skeleton in Birla Science Museum, which is located in the Central part of Hyderabad and is visited by many people including tourists. The dinosaur was discovered in Yamanpalli area of Adilabad district, Andhra Pradesh.

The museum exhibits 29 paintings on the important events of the evolution and morphological features of earth and evolution of life, 17 maps and one globe. The major share of exhibits belongs to the characteristic rocks and minerals of the southern states (Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Karnataka and Goa). Some samples from other states and a few foreign specimens are also housed.

GSI, SR has a ‘Parks & Museums’ division. As per the HPC recommendations, National level

museums have to be established in Chennai, Bengaluru & Hyderabad along with State level museums in Goa, Kerala and Puducherry. In Chennai there is a museum which has a geology gallery. There is a need to enhance / enrich the state galleries with geological samples / exhibits. All the State Units have identified nodal officers to interact with the State Governments to indicate the role of GSI to enrich / establish National level as well as State level museums as per the HPC recommendations.



67

Work carried out upto December, 2012: • Preparation and designing of new label stands with coloured display for exhibits of GSI Museum,

Hyderabad in connection with proposed visit of Secretary to GoI, MoM in GSI, SR, Hyderabad on 1st January, 2013

• Systematic arrangements of all the exhibits of GSI Museum, Hyderabad.

Rock Garden: In commemoration of 150 years of service to the nation by Geological Survey of India, a rock garden was established in 2001, adjacent to geological museum. The rock garden exhibits large sized rock specimens from different parts of Southern India. The map boundaries of southern states of India in 1; 250K scale has been created in the rock garden on which the rocks are displayed according to their respectrive geographical position as such. At least, 50 numbers of large sized rock and fossil specimens are kept as exhibits and arranged vide geological ages, representing various geological domains of southern India in the field. Noteworthy of them is the “Cuddapah column” which represents the sedimentary succession called Cuddapah Super Group (exposed in Cuddapah, Kurnool and Guntur districts of A.P) depecting the order of super position of different sedimentary formations age wise. The conglomerate of the Banganapalli Formation within the Cuddapah Super Group of rocks is known for the incidence of diamond. The exihibits of the museum in rock garden create curiosity and awareness on earth science to all from general mass to scholars. It attracts wide spectrum of visitors from students of school/colleges/research scholars/professionals and amateur geologist from National and international institutions of repute. The data and specimens of rock garden are always updated with new collections. Rashtrapati Bhawan Rock Garden:

All the State Units of Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Karnataka & Andhra Pradesh were informed regarding the requirements for Rashtrapati Bhawan Rock Garden and requested to send Photographs of rock sample having explicit, exotic and attractive morphological features. Out of more than 100no rock photos, 52 nos. were selected for collection of rock samples (6” x 6” size) from the field. Ultimately, 22no rock samples from Andhra Pradesh, 13no from Karnataka, 8no from Kerala and 9no from Tamil Nadu were collected and kept in the Museum of the Hyderabad Office with proper labels. However, ultimately 26 nos from Southern Region are zeroed in for dispatch to DGCO, Delhi after thorough examination for the Rashtrapati Bhawan Rock Garden. At present, the status is that 20 samples comprising 3 samples from Kerala, 4 samples from TNP, 3 samples from Karnataka and 10 rock samples collected from AP have been dispatched and delivered to the DGCO office, New Delhi by 31st March, 2012.
