(ii) Brief Description of Nature of Project:

M/s. Mohammad Abid has issued of LOI for minor mineral i.e. River
Sand (Bajri). This mining Lease is located in near villages-Kailadevi,
Rajpura, Saseri, Bharwarpura, Jakher, Dundapura, KaroliC, Barkhera,
Malpur, Silpura, Daoodpur, Birhata, Birhati, Khundari, Khunda,
Keshpura, Lohra, Gujar Bavli, Khediya, Sakargata, Dukawali,
Rungkapura & Bhawali, Tehsil & District-Karauli (Rajasthan) over an
area of 425.00Ha. River Sand (Bajri) is proposed to be mine. Mining
will be done by opencast semi-mechanized method.

River bed mining is for extracting sand from Tali Nadi, Barkheri Nadi ,
Kalisil Nadi, Kadwar Nadi, Sairni Nadi & Bandhwa Nallah. As per
RMMC rules 1986 extraction is limited to 3.0 m depth only from the
surface area. Entire stretch of the lease has been divided in to
manageable blocks for ease of operation supervision management and
safety. Activities will be carried out as per the production schedule
given earlier Light weight excavators will be deployed for extraction.
Mineral will be removed in 3.0 m layer only forming one bench. This is
as per the digging depth of the equipments. Mineral will be loaded in
trucks of 20 tones capacity. Trucks and equipment will be on hire basis.
There will be no OB or waste generation as the sand is exposed in the
river bed. Every block will be working as a unit with all facilities like
Rest shelter first aid facilities. Drinking water arrangement and
supervision Bench will advance parallel to the bank of the river. Height
of bench will be 3.0 m width of the bench will be around 20.0 m
working will be restricted within the lease. Area however movement of
trucks after mineral loading will be towards both sides through
approach roads connecting to tar road and then to destination via
national highway/state highway. Every block will have its own
approach roads which exist and are well connected to main highway.
No processing of mineral will be done.

(iii) Need for the project and its importance to the country and region
Due to the globalization and new ventures, the requirement for river
sand (Bajri) has been on the rise over the last few years. Mineral river
sand is used mainly in construction/Infrastructure projects. Sand is
used as building material. Its strength and long life makes it suitable
for a number of purposes. Mining of river sand is very essential
because it prevent widening of the riverbed due to deposition of
sediment which is not mined out resulting effect could be seen in the
form of flooding, damage to adjacent areas, erosion, destruction to life
and property, causing further damage to flora and fauna, agricultural
land and human settlements in their close vicinity. Mining industry
play an important role in economic sector in India. Rajasthan is rich in
mineral wealth. The state is endowed with major and minor mineral
resources. The region, where the project is situated is mostly
dependant on agriculture and mineral resources. The important
benefits accruing from the project to the state in the form of royalty can
thus be stated as-boost to local and regional economy. The
development of mining in the area provides direct and indirect
employment opportunities, better infrastructural facilities,
communication and socio-economic infrastructure.

(iv) Demand and Supply Gap

Sand is used as a basic building raw material in construction of
buildings and infrastructure projects. The demand of sand is increasing
day by day. In past, demand was not too much but now a days due to
rapid industrialization and urbanization its demand increasing with
pace of time. Demand of sand is more than the supply in the present
context.

(v) Imports v/s Indigenous Production

Demand of sand in the domestic market is high. In the allotted area,
sand is available in abundant quantity and can be extracted

PROJECT PROPONENT-MOHAMMAD ABID Page - 4

 Prefeasibility Report of River Sand Mining Project (Area 425 Ha.) Tehsil & District Karauli (Rajasthan)

indigenously. It had become a major source of economy in the

area/region.

(vi) Export possibility

There is no possibility of mineral export. Mineral river sand (Bajri)
cater the indigenous demand and major consumers of sand located in
nearby areas.

(vii) Domestic/Exports Markets

There is always an increasing demand of river sand in domestic
market.

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

By this mining project of river sand in the area, peoples get
employment. The project directly generates the employment for the
local people and indirectly for the others. The total manpower
requirement for the proposed mining operation will be around 114
persons directly. Indirect employment is expected its allied activities.

3.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION

(i) Type of Project including interlinked and interdependent projects, if
any.
The proposed project of river sand (bajri) is an independent project in
which mineral will be sold directly in domestic market. No other
project is interlinked with this mining work.

(ii) Location (map showing general location, specific location, and

project boundary & project site layout) with coordinates.

(iv) Size and Magnitude of Operation

Total area of mine lease is 425.00Ha. The mining operation will be @
0.56 Million Tonne of river sand per annum. Mining will be confined to
3 meter depth from surface of river channel or above water level
whichever is less.

(v) Project description with process details (a schematic diagram/flow

chart showing the project layout, components of the project etc.
should be given)
This is a river sand mining project. Mining activity will be carried out
by open cast mechanized method. Light weight excavators will be used
for loading of mineral in tippers. No OB/waste material will be
produced. No drilling/blasting is required as the material is loose in
nature. Proper benching will be maintained. Roads will be properly
made and sprayed for suppression of dust.

As per the production programme and the envisaged area of activity a

width of approximately 100m will be extracted during the five year plan
period Extraction activities will start in the block from the downstream
side to upstream side this will not obstruct the movement of water
during monsoon period in the river course. Approach roads from the
various block as already described earlier will be merging with
permanent tar road on both sides of the river for transportation of the
mineral to final destination. Mine lease area will be worked in blocks for
ease of operation. However as the digging depth will be restricted to
3.0m only. This will be further replenished during rainy season. Block
will be worked systematically as the width is limited while length is
much more. Thickness of the bench is limited to 3.0m (single) only and
width is 7.5m. river bank side will be protected by 7.5m offset bank
side, natural slope/gradient will not be disturbed. However the height
of the bank with respect to river bed is varying from 2.0 to 4.0 m only
this will prevent collapse of bank and erosion. During plan period
working will be carried out in the blocks of the lease area

simultaneously. Scattered working will ensure safety remove

congestion of vehicles and will have better control and management.
There will be no OB removal and waste generation during the plan
period. No dumping are is needed. No outside material will be filled up
in the extracted zone.

ways etc.)
Area is well connected with road and rail transport. The district is
well served by a network of metalled and unmetalled roads. NH-
11B passes through the district. State Highway-22 passes through
the district in southern direction of Karauli. Mineral will be
transported on the other side of the river by hired trucks through
approach roads and finally merging with NH-11B for final
destination.

Mining cost incurred on excavation of river sand = Rs. 80/Tonne

Proposed excavation of river sand (Total) = 2800000 Tonne
Total Mining cost incurred on excavation of river sand = 2800000 x 80
= Rs. 224000000/-
The average sale value of mineral is about Rs. 175/Tonne
Total sale value of mineral is = Rs. 2800000 x 175 = Rs. 490000000/-
The above figure may vary as per actual production obtained and incurred
mining cost.
