Identification of the project and project proponent. Name of Project:Literia Ball Clay Mine Category of Project: Category B Name of the Project Proponent: - Shri Abdus Sami Salfi. Address of the Project Proponent Shri Abdus Sami Salfi R/o K-54, Near Blind School Kamla Nehru Nagar Jodhpur (Rajasthan) Mobile No.- +91 77421 81899 B. Brief Description of Nature of Project. The project is for the expansion in production of 2, 00,000 TPA of Ball Clay. The expected life of the mine is around 10 years. The proposed project of Ball Clay shall be developed using the semi mechanized open cast mining method with no drilling & blasting. Mineral will be excavated manually with simple hand tools with no drilling and blasting involved. The height of bench will be kept 3.0 mts maximum in overburden and 2.5 mts in Clay Bed and the width of the benches will be kept more than 5.0 mts. The working will be done by forming benches with height of not more than 3.0 mts. at a time in overburden and 2.5 mts in Clay Bed and the width of the benches will be kept 5.0 mts. Ultimate depth of the working or pit limit will be 22 mtrs. The waste obtained will be soil, weathered, friable sandstone and it will be utilized for the simultaneous backfilling so at end of the fourth year, total 8.00 hectares area will be backfilled. Total O.B/waste generated during the next four years will be 1107271 cum. Water requirement for the proposed project for domestic use, dust suppression and plantation, will be 4-5 KLD. C. Need for the Project & Importance to the Country The mining project falls in the Jaitaran Tehsil and Pali district of Rajasthan, and the area is devoid of industrial growth. The mineral clay is used in Ceramics, Textile and Paper coasting, Rubber, Paints, and Cosmetics & Pharmaceutical, Insecticides, refractory bricks & cement. It is observed that the clays existing in the lease area are of good plastic nature, medium grained and with good whiteness index, some clay is having iron impurities. The clay is generally classified in two grades A & C. 3 Project: M.L. No. 07/1973, Literia Ball Clay Mine, Litaria, Jaitaran, Pali Project Proponent: Shri Abdus Sami Salfi 1. Grade – A (special):Clay contains alumina varying from 30 to 34% with high plasticity, free of iron impurities and stained after sorting & dressing operations. The potential market for this quality of ball clay is in ceramic & potteries industries. It is also used in rubber & paint industries. 2. Grade – C:Quality of clay contains around 20 to 22% alumina with low plasticity & poor whiteness and fire grains. This quality of clay will be available on top layer. This is used in stoneware industries, brick manufacturing industries as well as tiles & pipes industries. The clay produced from this area is sold in the open market to the various consumers in India. Subgrade mineral produced shall be supplied in the cement industry. D. Demand and supply gap The area is famous for its large reserves of high grade quality of Ball Clay. The demand for the minerals has been steadily increasing over the years. It is extensively used in Ceramics, Textile and Paper coasting, Rubber, Paints, and Cosmetics & Pharmaceutical, Insecticides, refractory bricks & cement industries. However, the present supply of these minerals is in-sufficient to meet with it existing and growing demand of the product, the prospectus of industries is very good. E. Export Possibility Since the produced mineral will be sufficiently absorbed in the local market it will not be exported. F. Domestic/Export Markets The mine is meant for domestic market use only thus, there is no requirement of selling of the mineral in export markets. G. Employment Generation (Direct & Indirect) due to the project The earning sources of the region are limited. Most of the people are dependent on agriculture. The expansion in the proposed mining project of will bestow various increased social & economic benefits to the local communities and improvements in physical and social infrastructure of the area, apart from increased financial benefits incurring to state govt. by way of taxes royalties & cess etc. In operational phase, the proposed project would require significant workforce of non technical and technical persons. The proposed mining activity will provide employment to about 12 workers. The workers will be hired mostly from the nearby villages. 4 Project: M.L. No. 07/1973, Literia Ball Clay Mine, Litaria, Jaitaran, Pali Project Proponent: Shri Abdus Sami Salfi The management and supervisory staff will include the Mines Manager -1, Mining Engineer-1, Mining Mate-1, Geologist-1, Chowkidar/Time Keeper – 1, Operator – 3 & unskilled labors – 4 will be employed. About 12 staff members including labors employed directly and approximately 30 persons indirectly will get employment in this mining project. Thus total around 30-40 person will get employment including direct employment and satellite occupation i.e. the labors, shop keepers, drivers, operators etc. 3. PROJECT DESCRIPTION A.

Details of alternate sites considered and the basis of selecting the proposed site, particularly the environmental consideration gone into should be highlighted. As the project is mineral specific and the lease was sanctioned for excavating the mineral Ball Clay, at the specific location near Village Literia, thus no alternate site was considered. D. Size and Magnitude of Operation The area is 34.23 hectare and it is proposed to produce mineral Ball clay at ultimate capacity 2,00,000 TPA using the open cast Semi Mechanized mining methods. E. Project description with process details (a schematic diagram/flow chart showing the project layout, components of the project etc. should be given) The Project is for mineral Ball Clay and the lease area comprises of 34.23 hectares and as per revenue records is Private Agricultural Land. Mining Operations will be carried out using the semi mechanized open cast mining method with no drilling & blasting. Proposed rate of production will be 2, 00,000 TPA for mineral Ball Clay. The working will be done by forming benches with height of not more than 3.0 mts. at a time in overburden and 2.5 mts in Clay Bed and the width of the benches will be kept 5.0 mts. Ultimate depth of the working or pit limit will be 22 mtrs. Ultimate pit slope is proposed to be 45 from vertical. Haul roads will be developed up to the loading points and will not have gradients more than 1:16. The overburden mainly consists of Soil, Weathered Friable Sandstone, as overburden, which will be removed with the help of JCB and will be stacked separately. The O.B/waste generated from the excavations in the next four years will be 1107271 cum over 8.0 hectares. The overburden/waste material shall be directly transported to waste dump yard by dumpers/ tractor trolley, whereas the clay will be sorted out according to grade at the faces on the basis of color, feel and texture. The clay lumps shall be hand sorted, dressed by sharp chisels for removal of red and yellow iron stains by peeling them off with knives. The material shall be graded visually based on the experience of labour and stacked separately. The waste generated during the mining operations will be utilized for simultaneously backfilling. At the end of the life of mine 20.43 hectares will be backfilled and & 4.61 Hectare will be used for the Rain water storage. Water stored in the pit will be used for the agricultural purpose.
