Mining Ventures:

ArcelorMittal is focusing on its mining activities, in accordance witflNf^MtggMfed

business model. This is part of a strategy to actively develop the raw material base,

thereby raising the level of iron ore self-sufficiency to 75%.

The Group is today one of the largest producers of iron ore worldwide, for capture

consumption, with mining activities in Algeria, Bosnia, Canada, Kazakhstan,

Mexico, Ukraine and the United States.

ArcelorMittal owns 20 iron ore mines; both open pit and underground, in 5 continents

and have an equity interest in 3 others. The Company also owns and operates 8

coal mines producing both coking and non-coking coal.

In 2007, approximately 46% of the Group's iron-ore requirements and 13% of its coal

requirements were supplied from its own mines or via long-term contracts.

Its access to high-quality, low-cost raw materials give the Group a valuable hedge

against rising input prices. ArcelorMittal is actively developing its raw material base

to raise self-sufficiency levels.

Coal Mining Ventures:

ArcelorMittal, formerly Mittal Steel, first started operating in Kazakh

Company (called Arcelor-Mittal-Temirtau in Kazakhstan) is the largest steelworks in

Kazakhstan and now owns 15 coal and iron-ore mines there. Company has invested

more than USD two billion in these mines since its Kazakh operation started and

USD 250 million has gone toward improving safety in the mines. In 2007, the

European Bank for Reconstruction and Development loaned Arcelor-Mittal-Temirtau

USD 100 million to improve the health and safety practices in its coal mines.

The Company has acquired a 97.9% stake in the Berezovskaya- Mine together with

a 99.46% stake in the Pervomayskaya Mine from Severstal. Both mines produce

coking coal and are located in the Kemerovo Region of western Siberia and produce

coking coal used in steel making.

ArcelorMittal paid Severstal $650 million for the two mines, plus the Severnaya coal

preparation plant, exploration and mining rights to the Zhernovskaya-3 coal deposit

and three companies that provide associated services to the mines.

The three mines together have total reserves of more than 140 million tonnes and

produced 3.14 million tonnes last year, ArcelorMittal said. The Zhernovskaya-3

deposit has additional estimated reserves of 46 million tonnes.

ArcelorMittal has reached an agreement with Coal of Africa Limited (”

coal development company operating in South Africa. ArcelorMittal entered into an

off-take agreement (’’the agreement”) with CoAL. The agreement relates to two

mines. The first, Baobab is 100% owned by CoAL has an estimated yield of 2.45

MTpa. The second, Thuli is 74 % owned by CoAL has an estimated yield of

4.2MTpa. Both mines are located in the Limpopo Province of South Africa.

ArcelorMittal has acquired a 14.9% stake (31,611,354shares) in Macarthur Coal

Limited (ASX: MCC). ArcelorMittal has acquired the exploration and mining rights to

the Zhernovskaya-3 coal deposit, which is a subsidiary of the Pervomayskaya Mine.

pf-kTsen^ 5)RQP/CG - RNC/010/87/A

The company has also acquired the Severnaya Coal Preparation PI

of the Berezovskaya Mine and three companies that provide

MINING PLAN OF MEGHAHATUBURU (KARAMPADA R.F.) IRON & MANGANESE ORE Dl(202.35 HECTARES)

associated services. Additionally the Company has completed its acquisition of

100% of the Anzherskoye mine in the Kemerovo Region.

Annual production from the three operating mines - which have a combined

estimated total reserve of more than 140 million tons - was 3.14 million tons ROM in

2007. The Zhernovskaya-3 coal deposit has an additional estimated reserve of 46

million tons.

Corporate ResponsibilityOur approachTaking responsibility fo r transform ing tom orrow

The merger of the Arcelor and Mittal companies in 2007 didn't just create a major

new business, and a new leader for the steel industry. It created the opportunity to

re-think the role and future of our sector, both in terms of its economic model, and its

social and environmental responsibilities.

The Company wants to set new standards for success and sustainability in steel.

That is why it chose the strapline Transforming tomorrow', and reinforced that

ambition with three core values: sustainability, quality and leadership. These values

are as important in achieving company’s business objectives as they are to its

corporate responsibility activities.

The Company firmly believes that a successful business is a responsible business,

and long-term growth for shareholders goes hand-in-hand with its wider commitment

to its communities, employees, and the environment.

Sustainability is one of ArcelorMittal's core values, and absolutely integral to its

overall vision to 'transform tomorrow'. The Company operates in a sector that can

have a significant impact on the environment, which means an even greater

responsibility to make sure the use of resources wisely, and manage waste and

emissions effectively. Complying with environmental regulations is just the start:

ArcelorMittal aspires to excellence.

The challenge is to do this in the context of an ongoing, and indeed growing,

demand for the steel produced. Steel is one of the building blocks of the world

economy, and is helping to fuel much-needed growth and development in emerging

markets. A way has to be found to supply that demand today, while protecting the

environment for the future. In 2007 alone the Company spent over US$ 300 million in

its drive to do this. , _*v

ArcelorM ittal in the com munity APPROVED

For a global company like ArcelorMittal, it is vital that to have a clear and defined

understanding of the meaning and importance of 'community'. As the world's largest

steel producer, the Company is often looked upon as the top foreign investor in

many important overseas markets. That's certainly true in countries such as

Senegal, Kazakhstan and Liberia. In some locations the Company is also the main

regional employer. Many communities rely on the Company not just for jobs,

livelihoods and training, but also for basic amenities like roads, power supplies, and

healthcare, which the Company’s presence in the locality helps to sustain. This also

holds true within established, mature markets, where communities have come to rely

on the Company for support and corporate citizenship.

samples and chemical analysis for 6 radicals Fe, AI203, Si02,P,Sr&==b©ff::The

analytical results of the different ore zones, their shape and size have been taken as

the basis for planning and execution of mining activity in the proposed area.

The rock types exposed in the Singhbhum-Keonjhar-Bonai Belt consists of a series of

sedimentary formations known as Iron-Ore Series. The Iron-Ore Series consist

mainly of banded hematite quartzite and phyllite/shales with intercalations of lava

flows and tuffs. The general strike of the formation in South Singhbhum is NE-SW,

and dip varies from 50° to 80° towards NW.

The proposed lease boundary of ArcelorMittal India Limited is having common

boundary with SAIL’s lease hold area. The lease hold area of SAIL situated in the

Southern part of ArcelorMittal India Limited, was explored in past by G.S.I. The result

of such exploration indicated the presence of prolific resources of very good grade

ore in the block. The adjacent Kiriburu & Meghahatubury mines of SAIL were

traversed to study different lithological units with respect to their mode of

occurrences.

During Geological mapping in the proposed area, samples were colle

exposures at cliff faces, nala cuttings and hill slope and at hill top. A total of 57

samples were collected from the area out of which 55 were from insitu exposures of

iron ore and two were from exposures of BHJ. Out of the 55 ore samples collected

from field, 12 Nos. of composite samples were prepared and analysed for six

radicals (Fe, AI203, S i02, P, S and Lol) at SGS Chemical Laboratory,

Vishakhapatnam. These sample locations along with nos. are marked on the

MINING PLAN OF MEGHAHATUBURU (KARAMPADA R.F.) IRON & MANGANESE ORE DE

Information gathered from the well-known Kiriburu - Meghahatubur

has indicated that in majority of boreholes, the iron content of Ire

increased in depth. The same trend can reasonably be expected in case oTthe

(202.35 HECTARES)

present study area.

NexTerra Geophysical Solutions carried out multi-parameter geophysical

exploration campaign consisting of Total Field Ground Magnetic & Vertical Electrical

Sounding (VES) to delineate the iron (Hematite) bearing zones in the

Meghahatuburu (Karampada Reserve Forest) Ore Deposit.

The applicant company does not hold any mining lease for any mineral in the State

of Jharkhand or anywhere in India.

The Topographic survey, Geophysical Investigation, extensive Geological Mapping,

sampling and analytical data accrued in the block reveal that the three blocks (viz..

Block A , B & C) are promising Iron Ore bodies and hence recommended for taking

up further suitable action for exploitation of the prospect.

Based on the findings of geo-physical investigation, extensive geological mapping,

evidences of exposures of hematite ore spread over the entire area including at cliff

faces, the depth of the ore body can safely be taken as 20 meters. However, for

reserve estimation purpose in the present context, a depth of 5 meters only is

considered for proved zone, and a depth of 15 meters below proved zone has been

considered for probable zone. Thus based on the available mineable reserve as is

clearly seen in the area, a suitable plan has been prepared for winning the ore.

Recommendation:APPROVED

CHAPTER - III V.GEOLOGY AND EXPLORATION \ v^Nv E7sfe »* />■

_-"r<,y sSr A N

3.a.i Topography:

The region as a whole is a hilly terrain. The proposed Mining Lease area is

located on the top of the NE-SW trending hill range, which constitutes the

western limb of the horse-shoe shaped synclinorium, a prominent feature of

the Singhbhum-Orissa-lron-Ore-Craton. The area is to the north-east of

Meghahatuburu iron ore mines of SAIL. The western slope of the hill is

comparatively steeper than the eastern slope. When looked from top, as can

be seen in Google Image, the hill top areas look like a dissected plateau with

small hillocks in between giving rise to an undulated topography. There are

four hillocks within the study area. The highest elevation of the study area is

about 923 mRL at the south-eastern hillock, where a railway wireless tower is

located and the lowest elevation is 660 mRL on western hill slope towards

south-west corner of the area. The lowest elevation however, which is outside

the proposed area, i.e. on west of the proposed lease boundary is 600. mRL

S T jJ R tftc T3.a.ii Drainage: APPROVED

There are two rivers 1. Koina & 2.Karo which flow parallel to the elongation of

the NE-SW trending hill range. Both the rivers flow from SW towards NE. The

river Koina is on western side of the ridge and the river Karo is on eastern

side of the ridge. River Koina is approximately 5 kms north-west from the area

and Karo river is approximately 4 kms south-east from the area.

The drainage system of the area is almost parallel to sub-parallel type due to

structural control of litho units. The two rivers Koina & Karo flow parallel to the

elongation of the NE-SW trending hill range. The tributaries of Koina & Karo

River which are all seasonal are controlled by the fold axis of second

generation folds of the western limb which run NW-SE.

MINING PLAN OF MEGHAHATUBURU (KARAMPADA R.F.) IRON & MANGANESE ORE DEPOSjT(202.35 HECTARES)

These tributaries originating from the area, which an

direction, meet into Koina River and the tributaries whi

the SE direction meets into Karo River.

3.a.iii Regional Geology:

The Singhbhum Orissa Iron Ore Craton (SOIOC) extends over an area of

approximately 40,000 sq. Kms in the eastern part of India. The rocks of study

area are of the Archean age having Iron Ore Group (IOG). It comprises of

low-grade metasediments banded iron formations (BIFs) including phyllites,

tuffaceous shales, banded hematite jaspers/banded hematite quartzites

(BHJ/BHQ), with iron ore deposited on a metamorphic basement within the

craton. The main regional structure influencing the IOG is a NNE-trending,

low-plunging synclinorium overturned towards the east. The BIFs define a

horseshoe- shaped structure (F ig .-1) termed as the ‘Bonai Synclinorium’ with

the BHJ/BHQ forming the backbone of the iron ore range (western arm of

Synclinorium) stretching across the region in a NNE-SSW direction (Jones,

1934).

The SOIOC is bounded by the arcuate Singhbhum Shear Zone

and the Sukinda Thrust to the south (Saha et al., 1988). A long Precambrian

history recorded within this crustal unit includes distinct orogenic episodes

accompanied by granite emplacement over different phases. The studied

area is a part of the major Iron Ore Basin, which developed within the craton

after the emplacement of two early phases of Singhbhum Granite. The IOG

rocks were then deposited in this basin and several episodes of crustal

thickening, sedimentation and magma injection preceded the Iron Ore

orogeny, which folded the IOG rocks. (Saha, 1994).

basic lavas, phyllites (originally largely tuffs) and banded hem

grading to iron ore, all closely folded, with a persistent ove

west, and possessing a general N.N.E.-S.S.W. strike.

The actual succession within the Iron ore series inside the Kolhan Estate

(ignoring any correlation with" northern and eastern Singhbhum) has been

made uncertain by Dr. Dunn's recent discovery.

West of the Iron Ore outcrop, in Bonai Range, is the Bonai granite, which

presumably connects to the south and east with the extensive Singhbhum

Granite which covers such a large part of southern Singhbhum and the States

of Mayurbhanj and Keonjhar.

rising to nearly 915 mRL and consisting mainly of banded hematite quartzite

and iron ore, were originally residuals above this old peneplain the lower hills,

consisting of phyllite and lavas, together with sandstones and shale belonging

to the Kolhan series, are usually much dissected by small streams. Where the

bedding of the shale and sandstones is comparatively flat, the country is

generally undulating and typically covered with fragments of the white quartz

veins, which traverse the shales.

The plains of Singhbhum are partly on granite and partly on the schist and

shales of the Iron-ore Series. The shales, which mostly form the central and

southern parts of the Singhbhum plains, merge into the hills of the Kolhan in

the south and into those of Porahat to the west. Towards the west they

gradually change to phyllites. A series of shale and quartzite hills e > i3 ^ ^ i* * C |

southern outcrops of the Iron-ore Series with the outcrops in the north.

In Singhbhum, the rocks show two facies- namely an un-metamorphosed one

in the south and a metamorphosed in the north, separated by a major thrust

zone (extending from Porahat in the western Singhbhum through

Chakradharpur, Amda, Rakha mines, Mosabani and Sunrgri into Mayurbhanj

over a distance of 160 Kms). It has east-west course in the western part and

turns to the south -east in the eastern region. The thrust zone marks the

overfolded limb of geo- anticline.

South of main thrust zone, the rocks are little metamorphosed, though they

have been thrown into folds whose axes are parallel to NE - SW (or NNE-

SSW).

found on the top of the hillocks and on hill slopes of the e f*v^,.

lateritised ore outcrops along with lateritic soils are found spreaddyerTfie

plateau area. Thickness of the soil is not very extensive

BIFs (Banded Hematite Jasper & Banded Hematite Quartzites) are exposed in

nala section towards south west of the valley area at a lower elevation.

Phyllites and ferruginous shales are also exposed at places along the nala

cuttings. Zone of lateritization with typical yellowish-brown colour are also

visible along the nala section.

The rocks and the ore body in the area as whole seem to have undergone

several phases of structural disturbance. Local minor folds are observed at

some of the exposures. The overall strike of the litho units is North 65° East,

and dip varies from 50° to 80° towards NW.

Occurrence of hematite is observed in form of (i) Hard compact/ mas: v

and (ii) Laminated type. At places lateritization is prominent on surface. On

close observation of the fresh surface in some of insitu hand specimens reveal

growth of Specularite & Goethite. Blue dust is also observed in one of the

exposure near a nala. ‘Conga’ was also observed at one place in Block-B.

Photographs of some of the exposures are enclosed as Annexure-XIV.

In general, the sequence appears to be:—

3. Phyllite and tuffs, lenticular conglomerate and quartzite

2. BIF (Banded Hematite Jasper) along with Iron ore.

north-west of hillock. They have been subjected to close fo ld ing^^ougT ilh fdy

are of variety of colours, purple, ferruginous phyllites are more common. This

rock is also of bluish grey-green and brownish colours. It occurs as a

consistent horizon throughout the length of the southern slopes.

BIF (Banded Hematite Jasper & Banded Hematite Quartzite): Banded

Hematite Jasper & Banded Hematite Quartzite are a very striking rock

formation consisting of inter-banded layers of iron-oxide and silica. Owing to

their great hardness these rocks resist weathering and form steep cliffs with

characteristic conspicuous bands of different colours. The bands are of

varying colours such as grey, brown, black, bright red owing to the nature of

the iron-oxide, and are very irregular, crumpled and contorted and vary in

thickness from mere partings to several mms and are commonly about half a

centimeter thick. The siliceous bands are of fine-grained quartz or red ja

Laterite: The laterite cover is about 1.5m thick on the hill slopes and is light

brown to red in colour. A thin laterite band is present on the hill top and behing

guest house.

3.b.i Topographic Plan/Geological Plan:

The topographic plan of the lease area has been prepared on a scale of

1:2000 with contour interval of 5 m. This plan has been taken as the base plan

for preparation of geological plan. The details of exploration carried out and

procedure adopted for preparation of Geological Plan are narrated below.

proposed ML area.

> Geological Mapping, Collection & Analysis of insitu ore samples.

> Geophysical Exploration

> Topographical Survey & tem porary demarcation o f extents o f the

Topographical Survey was carried out by qualified surveyors using Total

Station. The proposed ML area is having common boundary with SAlL’s

lease hold area. Thus the survey was started from the ‘Bench Mark’ point

of Meghahatuburu mines of SAIL and then the entire area of 202.35 Ha

was surveyed for making the Topographic Plan on 1: 2000 scale^

extents of the proposed ML area were demarcated with temporary pmara.

All the mappable outcrops were demarcated using Global

System (G.P.S.), The outcrops marked using GPS are verified by total

Station Survey and accordingly Geological Plan is prepared. As suggested

in the scrutiny comments of Draft Mining Plan the area was resurveyedCdur'-Kfl Exuvne -mb'cn

The adjacent lease hold area of SAIL has been explc

G.S.I., NMDC & SAIL. The result of such exploration in<

of prolific resources of very good grade ore in the proposed a7o3~3Rfit is

along the same strike direction as that of Kiriburu/Meghahatuburu ore and

most probably, it is continuation of the same ore body with a gap in-

between, which may be due to folding/faulting. Information gathered from

Kiriburu - Meghahatuburu Iron Ore Mine indicates to some extent, the

depth continuity of ore in the present study area.

Based on the findings of geo-physical investigation, extensive geological

mapping, evidences of exposures of hematite ore spread over the entire

area including at cliff faces, the depth of the ore body can safely be taken

as 20 meters. However, for reserve estimation purpose, a depth of 5

meters only is considered for proved zone, and a depth of 15 meters below

proved zone has been considered for probable zone.

A team of geologists from M/s Geo Solution (Pvt.) Ltd. carried out

extensive Surface Geological Mapping work for the entire area of 202.35

Hectares between 18/11/08 to 26/11/08. All the outcrops and ore

exposures were mapped; their spatial location, extension along the strike &

across the strike, nature of litho-unit, ore type, dip & strike etc. were

recorded. All the exposures of ore body on surface were mapped. Samples

were also collected from the insitu exposues and analysed at SGS Lab,

Vishakapatnam.

Based on the locational details of exposures obtained from the field and

During Geological mapping in the proposed area, samples were collected

from insitu exposures spread over the entire area including th o s ^ ^ J ^ j j^ f j

faces, nala cuttings and hill slope and at hill top. A total of

were collected from the area out of which 55 were from insitu exposures of

iron ore and two were from exposures of BHJ. Out of the 55 ore samples

collected from field, 12 Nos. of composite samples were prepared and

analysed for six radicals (Fe, AI203, S i02, P, S and Lol) at SGS Chemical

Laboratory, Vishakhapatnam. These sample locations along with nos. are

marked on the geological plan (Plate No. 4).

Since at places, continuous exposures of ore is seen along the hill slope

(i.e. from bottom of hill to top), analysis of these samples give an idea of

the quality of ore at different mRL.

Description o f Ore Types:

From the megascopic study of all the samples collected, mainly three types o f

iron ore have been identified in our field survey, 1. compact/hard laminated ore

2.Laminated ore and 3.Hydroxide / Lateritic / Shaly/ Re-cemented ore

38

MINING PLAN OF MEGHAHATUBURU (KARAMPADA R.F.) IRON & MANGANESE

The megascopic description of different types of ore is a

(202.35 HECTARES)

Compact / Hard Laminated Ore This type of ore constitutes a major

portion of ore-deposit and is predominant in ail the three blocks (hills). The

compact laminated ore is heavy, hard, compact, and laminated. The thickness

of laminae varies from 2mm to more than 30 mm. The ore is steel grey (from

dull/ pale to dark) to iron black in color, fine-grained, and dull to metallic in

luster. The hardness varies from 5.5 to 6.5 on Moh’s scale and the specific

gravity is around 5. A few outcrop samples show weathering and formation of

limonitic crust and filling in pores and cavities. There is lateritisation seen in

few samples also. A few samples are having a dull cherty look with sub-

conchoidal fracture. The streak of all the ore samples is brownish to cherry

red, a typical hematite streak i.e. cherry red. The Fe-content of compact

Laminated Ore: - The laminated ore is comparatively less hard and

compact as compared to compact laminated ore described above and the

laminae are having thickness of about 5mm to 20mm. It is steel grey to

brownish in colour, streak is cherry red, and partings of laminae are evident.

Hardness is around 4 to 4.5 and is less heavy as compared to Compact

laminated ore. A few outcrop samples specimen show limonitisation and

lateritisation due to weathering in the form of fillings and encrustations. The

Fe-content of laminated ore vary from 58.36% to 64.78%.

Hydroxide Ore:- The formation of this type of ore is due to weathering of

above mentioned ores i.e. compact laminated and laminated ores. Hematite

(F2O3) gets converted into Fe (OH) 3 during the formation of hydroxide ore;

hence the name. The colour of this ore is, dull to bright yellow, brown and

earthy luster and is lighter than laminated ore. . The Fe-content of laminated

ore vary from 42.29% to 57.52%.

- RNC/010/87/A

laminated ore samples vary from 60.34% to 66.01%.

39

MINING PLAN OF MEGHAHATUBURU (KARAMPADA R.F.) IRON & MANGANESE ORE

Shaly Ore: - This ore is light grayish brown to brownish-^

comparatively soft due to the presence of argillaceous mate

(202.35 HECTARES)

Re-cemented Ore (Conga):- In Block-B as shown in geological map a small

out crop of conga is seen. Angular to sub angular pebbles of good quality hard

compact laminated ore is seen embedded into a matrix of iron rich cementing

material.

.Geophysical Exploration:

NexTerra Geophysical Solutions carried out multi-parametric geophysical

exploration campaign consisting of Total Field Ground Magnetic & Gravity

survey to delineate ore bodies (Hematite bearing zones) in the study area.

The entire 202.35 hectare area was covered with Total Field Magnetic and

Gravity surveys in 50m X 50m grid. In all 625 Gravity-Magnetic stat

anomaly zones delineated by Gravity & Magnetic data. Survey specifications,

instrumentation control, data acquisition, processing and interpretation were

all successfully performed within the Quality System/control framework.

The geophysical campaign could delineate the major anomalous zones rich in

Hematite ore as well as the non-hematite contact boundaries. The residual

magnetic and gravity anomalies interpreted by separating the regional fields

could delineate several high anomaly (probable ore) zones in the lease area.

VES data corroborated the results by vertical demarcation of such ore zones.

Two different horizons of rich ore bodies at ensemble average depths

extending up to 40 and 60 m are interpreted from the 2D FFT of gravity and

magnetic data. Geo-electric depth sections based on VES data could

<7 delineate the depth persistence and thicknesses of individual ore bodies, top-

3.d Year wise future programme o f exploration : a r jR tfc rAPPROVED

It is proposed to drill 123 nos. of vertical bore holes (combination of

Coring/R.C.Type) in a 100m X 100m grid pattern in the 1st year of the plan

period. The bore holes will be drilled till the bottom of ore body however; an

average depth of 60 m is expected to find the extent and grade of iron ore.

The dia of drill holes shall vary from 76mm to 38mm. Drilling in the first year

will start from the proposed waste dump area as well as in the C-Block area,

from where it is being planned to start mining in the 2nd year of plan period.

In the future exploration/ drilling programme it has been planned to do only

drilling/exploration work in the 1st year. No excavation is planned in first year

and thus full thrust will be given to complete the detail exploration drilling in

the first year itself. The details of the proposed drilling programme year wise is

given in the table below:

cores, Laboratory and Pilot Plant scale beneficiation tests will be under taken

and for this study, the company will engage a Government recognized

laboratory.

3. e Geological & Recoverable Reserve & Grade.

Reserve estimation at present has been done on the basis of findings of

extensive Geological Mapping of the area. Results of Geo-Physical survey

have been taken as a helping tool for knowing the depth as well as lateral

extension of occurrence of ore body in the area. Results of Geophysical

studies reveal that ore body is spread extensively over the entire lease area

up to a depth range of 40 to 60 meters.

Total Field Magnetic and Gravity surveys done in a 50m X 50m grid and 45

Vertical Electrical Sounding (VES) carried out in the high anomalous zones

could delineate the zones rich in Hematite ore as well as the non-hematite

The geo-physical investigations of course, do not reveal the grade of ore at

different depth levels, as such the company plans to carry out detail

exploration in the first year and prepare an extensive assay plan.

The lateral extension of the ore body in a direction perpendicular to the strike

and along the strike has also been established from surface exposures.

Regarding the depth of occurrence, well exposed ore body on escarp faces,

vertical cliff and exposures of same ore body at different altitudes along the

hill slope, (i.e. from bottom of hill to top of hill where it is clearly visible) has

been considered. Geophysical investigation and ground observations in the

field indicates the depth of ore occurrence to be approximately 60 Mtrs.

However for reserve estimation in the present context; for proved category,

ore body up to a depth of only 05 Mtrs has been considered and for probable

category, a depth of 15 Mtrs below the proved zone have been considered.

3.e.i. Method of estimation of Reserves: APPROVEDCalculation of Reserves

For convenience of Mine Planning/ excavation scheduling, the entire deposit

of the proposed lease area has been divided into three (3) blocks namely

Block-A, B & C. The ore type in all the 3 blocks are mainly insitu Compact

Laminated and laminated ore.

Sectional methods have been adopted for estimation of proved and probable

Insitu (Compact Laminated/Laminated Ore) reserve, where as reserves of

possible category ore in the area is estimated by LXBXH method .

Bulk density figures for ore have been taken on the basis of ciar$nt

the adjoining mining areas and % recovery of ore have beerKrafe ybasis hard compact nature of the ore seen during field investigation!- rJ?lAfc

Area of influence of ore in each block and zones has been considered on the

basis of continuity of ore body observed on surface. Sections have been

drawn from boundary to boundary along and across the strike direction/trend

of mineralization considering the litho units in the area.

The reserve has been estimated based on 50% Fe cut off grade. However,

intention of the company is to utilze ore of even upto 47% Fe grade, subject to

‘amenability of the ore to beneficiation’ which can be established only after the

ore characterization/ beneficiation test results.

The threshold value of iron ore for the eastern region has not yet been

decided. However, the threshold value for Bellary-Hospet & Central India has

been fixed at 55% Fe. Though the cutoff grade for reserve calculation of the

present deposit has been taken as 50% Fe, no threshold value for i

be mined in this deposit, has been fixed.A

As mentioned in para 3.e.i the company has intentions to utilze ore of up to

47% Fe, subject to amenability of the ore to beneficiation, which shall be

ascertained only after pilot plant scale beneficiation test of the ore is done.

Thus depending upon beneficiation test results, the threshold value of this

particular deposit may go up to 47% Fe. In future the threshold value as fixed

by IBM for this sector will be strictly followed.

Over all average grade of Iron ore of the deposit, on the basis of analytical

report, is considered 62.50 % Fe.

The details of computation of ore reserve unde

possible categories are as given below.

3.e.ii. Geological Reserve:

The geological reserve has been estimated by sectional method. The geological reserve thus estimated under proved, probable and possible category are as detailed below.

Proved Reserve: Proved reserve zone has been calculated taking into

account the lateral extension of the ore body as established from surface

exposures and regarding depth, only 05 Mtrs has been considered which is

clearly seen in cliff section and on hill slope exposures.The Block wise and

section wise proved reserve estimated is as tabulated below.

The mineable reserve as indicated above is 26.62 million tons. Considering

proposed production of 14.01 million tonne of Iron Ore in first five years and

@ 5 million tonnes per annum in the next 2.5 years, the life of the mine may

be 12 years including initial ramp up period and closure of the mine. After

proposed exploration the reserve figure is likely to be enhanced and

accordingly the life of mine will increase.

CHAPTER - IV MINING

4.a.i Proposed method fo r development and working the deposits

Proposed method of Mining:

The development of the area will be by fully mechanised means. The

overburden will be removed by excavator - dumper/tipper combination after

deep hole drilling and blasting.The first mining bench will start from the

proposed area of the leasehold by slicing method from hill top along

mineralized zone in the area. As per topography, the area is almost

undulating. Depending on the boom height of excavator and width of the

dumper deployed for R.O.M. removal, proper benching will be done as per the

statute.

Mining Strategy

All drilling operations will be done mechanically by deploying blast hole drills

for deep hole drilling and to reduce the size Rock breaker will be used. The

blasted materials will be loaded from the face with the help of excavator. The

maximum feed size will be 500 mm.

Method of Mining

The sequence of operations will be:

• Scraping and removal of soft overburden by Dozer/ Excavator/Loader,

dumper/tipper combination.

• Drilling of holes by blast hole drills in hard/compact areas.

• Charging and blasting of holes

• Excavation, loading and transportation of the blasted wastes by

excavator, dumper/tipper combination to the waste dump.

• Excavation, loading and transportation of the blasted Mineral rejects by

excavator, dumper/tipper combination to the Mineral rejects dump.

• Excavation, loading and transportation of the blasted ROM by

Excavator, dumper/tipper combination to the Crushing and Screening

Unit.

Bench Design and Formation:

Since the mine will be worked by fully mechanized mining'metf

next five years, bench height will be restricted to the maximum

minimum 15m and bench slope angle less than 45° after obtaining permission

from D.G.M.S. The work will be carried out by slicing method. The face width

will vary in each year as shown in the development plan & sections

maintaining above said parameters. (Plate Nos. 6 - 6E).

Each Block has been topographically surveyed on a Scale of 1:2000 and

geologically mapped. Detailed studies there of were made to know the trend

of ore body, size and quality of ore etc.

The requirement of ore for captive plant will be to the tune of 5.0 million tones

per annum for a Three Million Ton Steel Plant i.e. Stage - I of phase - I. Even

though the available geological information is based on present exploration,

the detail and extensive exploration is proposed during the first year. The

present production level will be modified/revised if necessary in view of the

out come of exploration.

APPROVIThe year wise production target during the five year plan period is as under:

Year ROM in Million tonnes.

During the first 5 years mining work will be confined in Block C. Selection of

this Block during the five year Plan period is mainly based on average quality

of ore (62.5%), easy access to the working site and availability of the ore at

top and highest point of area and suitable for mining by slicing method. The

overall average grade of ore in this area is estimated to be 62.5 % on the

basis of sampling of outcrop samples, and exposures of cliffs/escarpments.

Initially for three to four years it is expected to enrich ROM by 1-1.5 % by

crushing and screening and the quality of the product would meet the

requirement of the captive plant.

period excavation of Iron Ore shall be carried out near the Zone IV ( Block C)

as shown in the Excavation plan and section (Plate No- 6 B, 7 A(l) & 7 A(ll)).

As can be seen that the Zone-IV, Block-C would be exhausted by the end of

third year, hence fourth year onwards back filling shall be done in the mined

out /exhausted areas. In case ore is encountered, on detailed exploration, in

the areas where backfilling is being planned, fourth year onwards, then the

back filling plan shall be suitably modified.

Surface Transport:

For Surface transportation of waste usually Dumpers/Tippers will be used

between mine faces to dump yards. For transportation of ROM 10/55 tonner

dumper shall be deployed. Initially Saleable ore shall be transported by road

contractually. In future, if mineral resource is increased, based on exploration,

fus ib ility of transporting the saleable ore by the downhill conveyor shall be

mined.

Mineral Rejects Dump: An area of 3.71 hectares is earmarked at D2 & D3

for dumping of mineral rejects from the mines during the conceptual plan

period at the eastern part of the area. This mineral reject dump shall be

created during the course of mining operation. About 5% of the total volun^ o f j j ^ ^ -

ore production will be mineral rejects. These mineral rejects will

having low content of Fe intercalated with waste which cannot be separated

during the course of production. The ultimate Mineral rejects dump capacity

would be about 440107 cu.m including swelling factor @ 10% of the total

production of mineral rejects during the life of the mine.

Possibility shall be explored to utilize the mining rejects in future, by blending

with high grade material/appropriate beneficiation process, subject to

‘amenability of the ore to beneficiation’ which can be established only after the

ore characterization/ beneficiation test results.

At the toe of the mineral reject dump parapet wall shall be created with a

garland drain which shall be of permanent nature. The proposed year wise

generation of mineral rejects is given below:

Post Mining Reclamation and rehabilitation -

The company envisages utilizing the State-of-the-art technology for

reclamation of the mined out pit and waste dumps in

environmental and geological experts.consult% ¥ f f a (

a p p r o v e dThe company conceptualises its post mining operations in the following

manner:

1) To reclaim the abandoned pit: It is proposed to reclaim the mining benches

after they reach the ultimate pit limits. The method of afforestation by

pitting and planting will be followed:

2) To afforest the abandoned dumps: The method of planting by contouring

will be followed.

3) The dump slopes shall also be strengthened by undertaking re-greening

activities by planting grasses of vetiver zizcuaides and jama centronella

varieties. The activities of afforestation shall be carried out by the

Environment Management Section of the Mines Division which shall have

in-house monitoring and analytical facilities also.

The reclamation methods are described below:

a) Method of pitting and planting

i) The worked out mining benches will be reclaimed by making pits 0.5m X

0.5m X 0.5m size spaced every 2m apart. The pits will then be filled with

sweet earth, sand and cow-dung.

ii) Neem cake powders are proposed to be applied in the pit to protect the

plants from which appropriate varieties of saplings will be planted during

the monsoon.

The method of pitting and planting has been shown in Sketch-1

b) Method of planting by contour trenching.

The method of contour trenching is proposed for active dump slopes wherein

contour trenches are dug at 3m intervals along the contour. The excavated

earth is stacked on the edge of the trench on the lower slope side to arrest the

water flow that comes due to rains and accumulates on the trenches and

gradually seeps through the strata enabling the planted saplings to get watei

and nutrients regularly for healthy growth.a p p r o v e d

This method has been shown in Sketch- II.

it wate^ ^

During this plan period excavation of Iron Ore shall be carried out in the Block

C as shown in the Excavation plan and section (Plate No- 6 B, 6 C) from

second year onwards .Part of this area would be exhausted at the end of two

years of mining. Hence fourth year onwards back filling with generated waste

shall be done in these mined out /exhausted areas. Plantation with suitable

variety of saplings shall be done in the back filled areas to maintain the

aesthetic beauty of the area to extent possible.

Greenbelt development

The green belt programme suggested will help in:

• Protection and stability of dumps.

• Prevention of degradation of land and soil.

• Prevention of dust (the leaves acting as a sink and

• Screening noise.

• Maintaining ecological balance.

• Increasing aesthetic value.

The afforestation over the proposed dump when fully developed will have a

tree density of about 2500 trees/hectare of land which is much higher as

compared with the natural forests already existing in the vicinity. Road side

plantation, plantation around office, workshop premises, crushing & screening

plant shall also be done to arrest dust generated from the mines and

crushing/screening plant.

The employee would be encouraged to plant and grow trees in around their

houses by distributing saplings, free of cost from the company nursery. ^ ^

3. Number of blast hole per delay will be kept as low as possible.

4. The depth of the hole including sub grade drilling will be normally 11 m in

case of 10 m benches. The diameter of the hole will be 150 mm (6 inch).

5. Adoption of two row blasting and V pattern of firing.

6. The firing of maximum possible no. of blast holes towards free face.

7. Use of down the hole delay detonators and delay detonators between the

holes and rows of blasting.

Noise: The following steps will be taken to minimize pollution by noise.

1. Blasting will be well designed & blasted periodically rather than couple of

hastily unplanned blast daily. Down the hole delay and delay between

rows shall be suitably designed in order to minimize air blast.

2. Charging of explosives per hole shall be designed to reduce noise and to

CHAPTER - BLASTING

5.a. Drilling and Blasting parameters

Blasting in open cast mines is of utmost importance not only because it has to

be compatible with the shovel/loader but also preferably as will obviate the

necessity of secondary blasting which is known to be very costly. The feed

size for the crusher has to be low below 500mm. because it is important that

variations of the hardness of the formation don’t result in waste use of

explosive with unbalanced product size. It is also important that fines

generated are kept as low as possible.

Charge per hole: Charge per hole 58.9 kg,

Blasting Pattern: The normal pattern of holes with 4m burden, 4.5m spacing

will provide the best results. The pattern of delay blasting in conjunction with

use of detonating fuse will take into account existence of any natural cleavage

layout and sequence of firing of the blast - holes pattern proposed for blasting

is given in Fig -1. Depending upon the composition of the formations, sommm*i. odegree of deck-loading may have to be resorted for better fragmentation.APPROVED

Maximum number o f holes blasted in a round: Max no. of holes blasted in

one round will be approx 35-40 nos.

5.b Types of explosives to be used.

Slurry/emulsion explosives will be used for blasting. Deck charging will be

used wherever necessary.

RQP/CG - FtNC/010/87/A

5.c Powder factor in ore and overburden:

MINING PLAN OF MEGHAHATUBURU (KARAMPADA R.F.) IRON & MANGANESE ORE_____________________________________________ (202.35 HECTARES)____________________

It is hoped that powder factor of over 7 t/ kg of explosives win oe aenieveo.

Inclined drill holes will be preferable to prevent formation of toes as it will

hamper effective operation of shovel at the face.

5.d Whether secondary blasting needed.

Rock breaker will be used to reduce for secondary blasting.

5.e Storage of explosives

The company will engage an Explosive supply agency who will supply the

explosive as per the day to day requirement from his nearby explosive

magazine which is now in practice in neighbouring mines. So, there is no

need to construct a magazine in the proposed area.

Drilling and blasting operations will be carried on strictly as per the provision

of MMR, 1961 under the strict supervision of qualified persons. For storage

and issue of explosives, the relevant provisions of Indian Explosives Rules,

1983 will be followed.

the working shift-taking all required precautions, like marking the danger zone

of 500m with red flags, use of warning signals and providing blasting shelters

etc.

Drilling and Blasting:

Although proposed area is very far away from any population, precaution will

be taken to minimize nuisance caused by blasting. All necessary safety

precaution will be taken in accordance with the Explosive Act. Precaution will

also be taken as per permission obtained under MMR 1961 106(2) by Director

of Mines Safety for deep hole drilling & Blasting and usage of heavy earth

oving machinery.

Noise:

The following steps will be taken to minimize pollution by noise.

1. Blasting will be well designed & blasted periodically rather than couple

of hastily unplanned blast daily. All the explosive and the

(NONEL) is put within the blast hole & detonating fuse is not a b b r o v e d trunk line.

2. Blasting will be so planned to minimize boulders, so that secondary

blasting will be reduced.

3. Green belt with trees of varying height will be developed around the

quarry to absorb the blast noise & reduce noise.

Fly rocks:

While blasting, if the holes will not be properly designed and charged, the

main thrust of the blast will be upwards and instead of fragmenting the rock,

there will be an outward surge resulting in rock fragments flying. In order to

prevent fly rocks:

2. Inter-row delay will be selected in such a way each row pushes its

burden forward rather than in an upward direction.

3. Toe formation will be avoided by proper design of drilling and blasting

as toe hole blasting involves increase risk of fly rocks.

Blasting will be done only in the harder patches, which cannot be cut

manually. Holes of 150 mm diameter will be drilled by Blast hole drill to a

depth of 11 m and charged with slurry/emulsion explosives. Expected powder

factor would be 7t/Kg of explosive in the case of ROM Iron Ore and hard

overburden.

However, the frequency of blasting will be very less and blasting is practiced

only in case of harder rocks. About 23/60/84/110/144 holes in first five years

will be blasted per day to produce Iron Ore at the rated capacity.

APPROVEDMethod of Blasting

In this mine, deep hole will be in practice. Holes will be done in hard formation

by Blast hole drill having diameter from 150 mm up to 11 m depth. Burden

and spacing will be maintained 4m x 4.5m. Depending upon the compactness

of the strata/formation. Expected powder factor will be approx 7 t/Kg.

CHAPTER - VI MINE DRAINAGE

6.a Depth of water table base on observations from nearby wells and water

bodies:

Depth of water table observed in the wells of nearby Tatiba Village is about 10

to 12m below the average surface level of 420mRL. Other water bodies like

Koina & Karo rivers occur at an approximate elevation of 400mRL. The iron

ore mineralization in the proposed ML area occurs on the hill top at 900 m RL.

Thus there is no possibility of mining encountering the ground water table.

6b Expected depth of working:

The iron ore mineralization in the proposed ML area occurs on the hill top at

RL 900 m. Expected depth of working will be approximately 100 meters from

the top of hillock where mineral is occurring. As can be seen from depth of

water table mentioned above, there is no possibility of mining encountering

the ground water table or any surface water body.

6c. Quantity and quality of water likely to be encountered:

As indicated above, there is no possibility of mining encounteNjjjq1 any

surface/subsurface water body. However, during the course o f^ m in g P rM r^

water in the form of surface run off will be there during monsoons only, which

will eventually get discharged into the Karo and Koina rivers through

innumerable water cut channels on hill slopes or find its way through cracks,

joints and fissures in rocks and finally reach to valley or plain land. Thus no

accumulation of water is likely to remain within the ML area. In the

environmental management plan check dams are proposed to be built along

the nalas to arrest the silt.

The sites are selected after considering various alternative locations based on

the following:-

i. The proposed location is found most suitable from the point of view of

mineral conservation i.e. not above mineralized zone. On the basis of

surface exposures of litho units the possibility of occurrence of ore at

the proposed location seems to be almost negligible. However, before

start of mining operation in 2nd year, adequate number of bore holes

will be drilled (in the first year itself) at the proposed dump locations to

prove the occurrence of ore or otherwise.

iii. Maximum quantities can be accommodated within si

iv. Easily approachable

ii. The proposed location is confined and found mos

point of view of environmental considerations.

(202.35 HECTARES)

7.c.i Manner of disposal and configuration, sequence of buildup of dumps

(Refer Plate No. 6 - 6E):

The area is considered reasonable for dumping wastes generated in the first

and second year during the plan period. For initial dump formation at the

proposed location a ramp will be formed by gradual dumping of pit waste and

forming an approach at a gradient not exceeding 1 in 16 so as to reach up to

a height of 20m from the ground level in two benches of 10m each in the first

year towards northern part of the dump yard. During the second year dumping

of waste will be made in the northern part as well as south eastern part of the

leasehold area. The dumping yard to maintain a uniform level the lower level

of the dumping yard and this year dump shall reach up to 30m height. D u m jJ^T lH M

the fourth year external dumping shall not be undertaken. From th A ^ E P rR O V F

onward land reclamation of the worked out area will be started with the

backfilling of the entire wastes so generated.

From the working site, usually dumpers carrying waste would be unloaded at

the dump, and thereafter the materials are pushed mechanically on the down

slope side to maintain a uniform level. At the slope, the material would remain

intact following the angle of repose of dump material. (Say 37° in the case of

general waste). Due to movement of dumper at the top, the material would be

compacted and shall remain as hard as compact mass. During active stage of

dump, the slope would be made stable by planting shrubs and grasses and

after completion of dump; the entire area including the top surfaces would be

r7 planted with local varieties of trees. The trough shall be leveled to some

/ x l extent to maintain a flatter surface.

Water Regime:

Meghahatuburu iron and Manganese ore deposit are on the Wester

the famous horse shoe shaped synclinorium. In this mine, there are dry nalas

running from North to South and east to west. The highest point of the deposit

is at 900m above MSL.

In the Southern part of the area outside the lease boundary Tatiba Nala flows

from West to East and Karo River flows South to North in the far East of the

lease hold area. There are fluctuations in ground water table, which is

observed in the well situated in village Tatiba.

Human Settlement and Demographic Profile:

The growth of industrial sectors and infrastructure developments in and

around the agriculture dominant areas, villages and towns are bound to create

its impact on the socio-economic aspects of the local population. The impacts

may be positive or negative depending upon the developmental activity. To

assess the impacts on the socio-economics of the local people, it is necessary

to study the existing socio-economic status of the local population, which will

be helpful for making efforts to further improve the quality of life in the area of

study. To study the socio-economic aspects of people in the study area

around the proposed project site, the required data has been collected from

various secondary sources and supplemented by the primary data general

through the process of a limited door to door socio-economic survey.a p p r o v e d

Methodology adopted for the Study:

The methodology adopted for the study is based on the review of secondary

data, such as District Census Statistical Handbooks-2001 and the records of

National Informatics Center, New Delhi, for the parameters of demography,

occupational structure of people within the general study area of 10-km radius

workers include 10 categories of workers defined by the Census Department

consisting of cultivators, agricultural labourers, those engaged in live-stock,

forestry, fishing, mining and quarrying; manufacturing, processing and repairs

in household industry; and other than household industry, construction, trade

and commerce, transport and communication and other services.

The marginal workers are those workers engaged in some work for a period

of less than six months during the reference year prior to the census survey.

The non-workers include those engaged in unpaid household duties,

students, retired persons, dependents, beggars, vagrants etc.; institutional

inmates or all other non-workers who do not fall under the above categories.

As per 2001 census records, altogether the main workers work out to be

26.3% of the total population. The marginal workers and non-workers

constitute to 17.1% and 56.6% of the total population respectively. The

distribution of workers by occupation indicates that the non-workers are the

predominant population. The occupational structure of the study area is

or wild life sanctuary near to the area.

Water Quality and A ir:

The ambient air quality with respect to the study zone of 10-km radius around

the mine site forms the baseline information. The various sources of air

pollution in the region are

Industrial, traffic, urban and rural activities. This will also be useful for assessing

the conformity to standards of the ambient air quality during the mine operation.

The study area represents mostly rural environment.

This section describes the selection of sampling locations, methodology

adopted for sampling, analytical techniques and frequency of sampling. The

results of monitoring carried out for study period (1st December 2008 to 28th

February 2009) representing post-monsoon and part of winter season are

presented in Annexure IX.

Selection of Sampling Locations:The baseline status of the ambient air quality has been assessed through a

scientifically designed ambient air quality monitoring network. The design of

monitoring network in the air quality surveillance programme has been based

on the following considerations:

• Meteorological conditions on synoptic basis;

• Topography of the study area;

• Representatives of regional background air quality for obtaining baseline

Y1 status; and

rL n • Representatives of likely impact areas.

Water Sampling Locations

Water samples were collected from different locations. These sa?

taken as grab samples and were analyzed for various parameters to compare

with the standards for drinking water as per IS: 10500 for ground water sources

and IS: 2296 (Class-C) for surface water sources. The water sampling locations

are identified in Annexure -X .

Noise Levels:

The environmental assessment of noise from the industrial activity,

construction activity and vehicular traffic can be undertaken by taking into

consideration various factors like potential damage to hearing, physiological

responses, and annoyance and general community responses.

The impact of noise sources on surrounding community depends on: ^ p p ^ Q y j r q

• Characteristics of noise sources (instantaneous, intermittent or continuous

in nature). It can be observed that steady noise is not as annoying as one

which is continuously varying in loudness;

• The time of day at which noise occurs, for example high noise levels at night

in residential areas are not acceptable because of sleep disturbance; and

• The location of the noise source, with respect to noise sensitive land use,

which determines the loudness and period of exposure.

The environmental impact of noise can have several effects varying from Noise

Induced Hearing Loss (NIHL) to annoyance depending on loudness of noise.

The environmental impact assessment of noise from the project operation,

vehicular traffic can be undertaken by taking into consideration various factors

like potential damage to hearing, physiological responses, annoyance and

general community responses.

A preliminary survey was made and eight locations were selected for detailed

study within 10-km radius of the proposed mine. The selected locations are

given in following table:

1. Preparing a general checklist of all plants encountered in the study area.

This would indicate the biodiversity for wild and cultivated plants. The plants

so encountered were classified into life form spectrum according to the

classification of Raunkiaer's classification of life form spectrum.

. Phytosociological studies by using list count quadrate method for woody and

herbaceous flora in forest areas and only herbaceous flora in ambient air

quality monitoring locations. Sufficient number of quadrates of 100-m2 size

was adopted for study, which is based on the area species curve. The

number of quadrates depended on actual field requirements.

. Estimating basal areas of trees and shrubs at breast height [132 cm from

ground or above buttresses];

. Herbaceous and woody flora was studied by taking 10 and 20 quadrates at

each location having 100 m2;

Endangered Plants

Floristic studies were conducted during post-monsoon season in 2008 to know the

presence of any endangered/threatened/endemic plant species in mine premises and

surrounding areas within study area. The study area did not record the presence of any

critically threatened species. The records of Botanical Survey of India and Forest

department/literature survey also did not indicate presence of any endangered and or

vulnerable species in this area.

Terrestrial Fauna and Ornithology

Primary Survey

The observed and recorded wild animal species in 10-km radius and their con

status as per Wildlife (Protection) Act, 1972.

National Park/Sanctuary

As per MoEF and Forest Department, Jharkhand reveals that there are no Wildlife

sanctuaries, National parks/biospheres in 25 km radius from mine premises.

Endangered Animals

A comprehensive Central Legislation namely Wild Life (Protection) Act was enforced in

1972. This law is to provide protection to wild animals and for matters related to their

ancillary or incidental death. Schedule-I of this Act included the list of rare and

endangered species, which are completely protected throughout the country. The

detailed list of wild animals and their conservation status as per Wild Life Act (1972) are

presented in the following table:

On comparison of the check list given in the Schedule-1 of the Act and the list of wildlife

recorded in the study area, it can be concluded that 3 species of schedule-1 animals are

existing in the study area (2 mammals and 1 reptiles) and rest of the wild animals

belongs to Schedule-ll, III, IV and V of Wildlife (Protection) Act, 1972.

Wild Life Conservation APPROVEDThe following mitigation measures will be taken for protection of fauna in the study

area with the help of forest officials.

• Educate the local people to develop awareness to protect the animals;

• Formulations of wild life protection committees in nearby villages to

check the poaching and hunting;

• Protect and regulate the herbivorous animals in the forest area near to

mine area;

• Wild life patrolling committee would be formed to monitor the wild

animals movement; and

• Develop thick green belt around the mine site which will attract the avi

fauna in the study area and increase the aesthetic value of the area.

Aquatic Ecosystems:

MINING PLAN OF MEGHAHATUBURU (KARAMPADA R.F.) IRON & MANGANESE ORE DEI_____________________________________________ (202.35 HECTARES)________________________

ic Ecosystems:

The objective of aquatic ecological study may be outlined as folic

• To characterize water bodies like fresh waters;

• To understand their present biological status;

• To characterize water bodies with the help of biota;

To meet these objectives, following methods were followed:

• Generating data by actual field sampling and analysis in these areas through

field visits during study period; and

• Discussion with local people to get the information for aquatic plants and

aquatic animals.

Climatic Condition:

The meteorological data recorded during the study period is very useful for

proper interpretation of the baseline information regarding this project,

Jharkhand and surrounding area for air quality dispersion. Historical data on

meteorological parameters will also play an important role in identifying the

general meteorological regime of the region.

Methodology:

The methodology adopted for monitoring surface observations is as per the

standard norms laid down by Bureau of Indian Standards (IS : 8829) and India

Meteorological Department (IMD). On-site monitoring was undertaken for

various meteorological variables in order to generate the site-specific data.

Data was collected every hour continuously from 1st December 2008 to 28th

February 2009 covering post-monsoon and part of winter seasons.

The year may broadly be divided into four seasons:

• Winter season December to February

March to May

June to September

October to November

• Pre-monsoon season

• Monsoon season

• Post-monsoon season

Whether the area comes under notified area under Water Act, 1974:

In fact, entire State of Jharkhand notified as the Pollution Control area under

the Water Act, 1974. By virtue of its location, the area falls under the notified

area under the Water Act, 1974.

11. b. Environment Impact Assessment:

Open pit mining of any dimension is likely to cause some amount of

unbalance to the existing environment. Further, any amount of chance in the

existing environment brings some change in the surrounding vegetation,

animal and human life. The complexity of assessment of these changes is

increase by the fact that the group adversely affected are often not the same

group, who are benefited by it. Therefore while assessing the impact, a

balance between the odds and benefits should be drawn properly with the

back ground of overall perspective of the project.

The mining operation proposed in this mine will be mechanized open cast

mining. Considering the proposed scale of operation and assessing the base

line data on physical environment (existing land use pattern, water regime,

climate conditions like rain fall/temperature, ambient air quality, noise level

etc), ecological environment (population, occupation, education are has

brought some positive effect on life, better employment potentiality, better

health care, better living, water supply and sanitation conditions, better

educational facilities etc.).

The major adverse/negative effects are definitely due to deforestation and

land degradation that will be temporary as the area will be reclaimed by

xn suitable reclamation scheme in future. The impact of mining on various

/important environmental parameters is given below:

Public Building. Places, and Monuments:

There is no public building, places or monuments near the leasehold area;

hence no impact will be noticed for that.

. . APPROVEWater Environment:

Surface Water:

As there are no stream or water courses in the R.F. and the ore deposit in this

part is on hilly terrain, the change in topography is not likely to have an impact

on the hydrography of the area. Rain water flowing through the exposed mine

cuts may carry sediments of aluminous laterites. These are found to be non

toxic element.

Surface runoff water from mine has only high turbidity during monsoon.

Domestic effluents, being of less volume would contribute nothing to pollution.

The major drainage channel of the area is Karo Nala which is located in the

Southern and Eastern side far outside the lease hold area, and is flowing from

South to North

whatever wastes will be removed it will be dumped in the dumping yard during

the second and third years of working. Mineral Rejects generated during the

course of mining shall also be stacked separately for future use.

l i

Waste/Mineral Rejects dump management:

The wastes/mineral rejects generated during mining activities will be dumped

away from ultimate pit limit. For proper dumping of waste and minimum

degradation of environment due to such dumping following precaution shall be

taken.

The sides are required to be sloped inwardly and kept stable by planting

shrubs/grass, which acts as a good binding agent.

The tops as well as the sides are to be kept stable by regular planting.

sapling of local verities as well as shrubs and grass in between the plant!

both the above cases plants are also required to be planted at the foot of'the'

lower level of the dump to arrest any possible rolling down of boulders from

the top level while dumping.

To reduce the siltation in the nalla/stream from dump wash off and to check

spreading out of dump, a retaining wall will be erected at the dump toe. As a

precautionary measure a garland drain say 2 m deep & 2 meter wide will be

made beyond the dry wall and a series of settling tanks to hold dump wash off

if any, coming out of the retaining wall and to allow clear water to drain off.

Dust Suppression:

Generation of dust due to mining activates may cause health hazard, but at

this area considering large scale of operation of mining activities to achieve

targeted production. It is anticipated that the generation of dust due to mining

nd handling of materials will be minimum and it will have least adverse effect

The method of contour trenching is proposed for active dump slopes wherein

contour trenches are dug at 3m intervals along the contour. The excavated

earth is stacked on the edge of the trench on the lower slope side to arrest the

water flow that comes due to rains and accumulates on the trenches and

gradually seeps through the strata enabling the planted saplings to get water

and nutrients regularly for healthy growth.

This method has been shown in Sketch- II. APPROVED

During this period excavation of Iron Ore shall be carried out in the Block C as

shown in the Excavation plan and section (Plate No- 6 B, 6 C) from second

year onwards .Part of this area would be exhausted at the end of two years of

mining. Hence, fourth year onwards back filling with generated waste shall be

done in these mined out /exhausted areas. Plantation with suitable variety of

saplings shall be done in the back filled areas to maintain the aesthetic beauty

of the area to extent possible.However, based on outcome of exploration to

be completed during first year disposal of waste including backfilling shall be

modified accordingly with approval of competent authority. In case ore is

encountered in the areas where backfilling is being planned fourth year

onwards, then the back filling plan shall be suitably modified.

Surface runoff water from mine has only high turbidity during monsoon.

Domestic effluents, being of less volume would contribute nothing to pollution.

All the proposed pits of the Karampada Iron ore mine are located either at the

hill top and slope; therefore there is no chance of inundation of pits from such

water. The major drainage channel of the area is Karo Nala, which is located

in the Eastern and Southern side far outside the lease hold area, and is

flowing from South to North and East to West respectively. Hence, there is no

nala passing through the leasehold area.

Quarterly monitoring of Ground water and effluent water will be done during

operation of Mines. There will be no danger for water quality as the water

★<T> ,\ \ fi;

Location of proposed dump site has been shown in Plateyi<v 6 - 6E The sites //

are selected after considering various alternative lo c a t io h ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ o r f jh /

following:-

i. The proposed location is found most suitable from the point of view of

mineral conservation i.e. not above mineralized zone. On the basis

of surface exposures of litho units the possibility of occurrence of

ore at the proposed location seems to be almost negligible.

However, before start of mining operation in 2nd year, adequate

number of bore holes will be drilled (in the first year itself) at the

proposed dump locations to prove the occurrence of ore or

otherwise.

ii. The proposed location is confined and found most suitable from the

point of view of environmental considerations.

iii. Maximum quantities can be accommodated within shorter space.

iv. Easily approachable

Manner of disposal and configuration, sequence of buildup of dumps

(Refer Plate No. 6 - 6E):

The area is considered reasonable for dumping wastes generated in the first

and second year during the plan period. For initial dump formation at the

proposed location a ramp will be formed by gradual dumping of overburden/pit

waste and forming an approach at a gradient not exceeding 1 in 16 so as to

reach up to a height of 20m from the ground level in two benches of 10m each

in the first year towards northern part of the dump yard. During the second

year dumping of waste will be made in the northern part as well as south

eastern part of the leasehold area. The dumping yard to maintain a uniform

level the lower level of the dumping yard and this year dump shall reach up to

30m height. During the fourth year external dumping shall not be undertaken.

From this year onward land reclamation of the worked out area will be started

intact following the angle of repose of dump material. (Say 37° in the case of

general waste). Due to movement of dumper at the top, the material would be

compacted and shall remain as hard as compact mass. During active stage of

dump, the slope would be made stable by planting shrubs and grasses and

after completion of dump; the entire area including the top surfaces would be

planted with local varieties of trees. It seems from the dump configuration that

the trough shall be leveled to some extent to maintain a flatter surface.

During the course of dumping leveling & terracing will be done time to time.

For the protective measures to prevent the wash off from the dump a retaining

dump along with a series of settling tanks to hold dump wash off if any,

Stacking of Sub-grade material:

The total ore after removing the waste will be fed to the crushing plant for

sizing, hence there will be no generation of sub-grade ore in the area as the

sub grade ore will automatically blended during the crushing of ore. Before

crushing the ore proper blending of ore will be done near the crushing plant.

12.4.5 Topsoil M anagement:

During the first five years of working no top soil shall be encountered or

removed. Hence, no top soil management is necessary.

The wastes are to be generated during mining activities will be dumped away from quarry faces during the first two years of working. For proper dumping of waste and minimum degradation of environment due to such dumping following precaution has to taken. The sides are required to be sloped inwardly and kept stable by planting shrubs/grass, which acts as a good binding agent.The tops as well as the sides are to be kept stable by regular planting of sapling of local varities as well as shrubs and grass in between the plants. In both the above cases plants are also required to be planted at the foot of the lower level of the dump to arrest any possible rolling down of boulders from the top w ifiiwhile dumping.Fourth year onward back filling for reclamation of the area will be continued.

Waste dumping at external dump will be concurrently with mining operation during the second and third year. To reduce the flow of silt in the nalla/stream from dump wash off and to check spreading out of dump, a retaining wall will be erected at the dump toe. As a precautionary measure a garland drain say 2m wide X 2m deep will be made and a series of settling tanks beyond the retaining wall to hold dump wash off if any, coming out of the retaining wall and to allow clear water to drain off.

NexTerra Geophysical Solutions carried out multi-parametric

geophysical exploration campaign employing Total Field Ground

Magnetic & Gravity survey to delineate ore bodies (Hematite bearing

zones) in Meghahatuburu Mauza, Karampada Reserve Forest, West

Singhbhum, under the prospecting lease area of M/S. ArcelorMittal India Limited, Jharkhand.

A total of 200 hectare area was covered with Total Field Magnetic and

Gravity surveys in 50m X 50m grid. In all 625 Gravity-Magnetic stations

were recorded. 45 Vertical Electrical Sounding (VES) were carried out in

the anomaly zones delineated by Gravity & Magnetic data. Survey

specifications, instrumentation control, data acquisition, processing and

interpretation were all successfully performed within the Quality

System/control framework.

The geophysical campaign could delineate the major anomalous zones

rich in Hematite ore as well as the non-hematite contact boundaries. The

residual magnetic and gravity anomalies interpreted by separating the

regional fields could delineate several high anomaly (probable ore) zones

in the lease area. VES data corroborated the results by vertical

demarcation of such ore zones.

Two different horizons of rich ore bodies at ensemble average depths

extending up to 40 and 60 m are interpreted from the 2D FFT of gravity

and magnetic data. Geo-electric depth sections based on VES data could

delineate the depth persistence and thicknesses of individual ore bodies,

top soil/variants of iron ore (lateritic ore) and the intervening strata.

6.0 CONCLUSIONS

From the G-M survey the zones of potential high density bodies (Hematite, Magnetite, Float iron ore, Lateritic ore etc) have been delineated in the lease hold area. The cumulative area of 15 such concealed ore bodies is 0.866 km2.

The surveys further bring out very clearly the presence of deep seated causative sources (intrusive basic, ultra basic bodies) at depth.

Several east-west and north-south oriented contacts/ faults have also been delineated in the survey area.

There are two principal ore horizons with ensemble average depths of 40 & 60m around which the ore zones may have maximum concentration. This implies the ore body may continue upto a depth of 40-60m though the top of ore zones may be located at much shallower depths i.e. depths indicated by the VES survey. Ensemble average depth indicates the centre of Gravity of all the ore bodies that lies in the zone whether connected or disconnected/isolated. This is apparent from the 2D thickness map of the ore body that indicates ore zones varying from few meters to about 55m (refer thickness scale provided on the left of map).

The above depths are corroborative both from the magnetic and gravity data.

The resistivity survey has brought out 4-5 layer subsurface pictures in the area. Based on the objective assessment the resistivity values between 2000 Ohm-m an 15000 Ohm-m has been attributed to the ore zone.

In a few sounding the water table in the area has been picked up precisely. A 2D image of the ore body thickness (cumulative thickness) has been represented in the figure below. The high relief zones are representing the thicker ore zones which are indicated in the thickness scale in meters on the right of the 2D surface image. The North orientation is denoted by the arrow mark. The general disposition of the main ore body is NE-SW.
