Project Detail:
Jumka Pathiriposhi Pahar Iron Ore Block of M/s Rungta Mines Limited with peak production capacity of 3.35 MTPA with a total excavation of 3.98 MTPA (3.35 ROM Iron Ore + 0.63 MTPA waste material) in mine lease area of 158.509 Ha located at Village Batagaon, Kensara in Tehsil Lahunipara Dist. Sundergarh & Village Kadakala in Tehsil Banspal, Dist. Keonjhar
The proposal of M/s Rungta Mines Ltd. is for seeking ToR for conducting EIA studies for Jumka Pathiriposhi Pahar Iron Ore Block with peak production capacity of 3.35 Million TPA with a total excavation of 3.98 MTPA (3.35 ROM Iron Ore + 0.63 MTPA waste material) in proposed mine lease area of 158.509 Ha. The mine is located at Village Batagaon, Kensara in Tehsil Lahunipara, Dist. Sundergarh & Village Kadakala in Tehsil Banspal, Dist. Keonjhar.
The deposit falls in the Survey of India Open series map no. F45N1 (Toposheet No.73 G/1). The lease area is bound by latitude 21°48'54.81396" to 21'47'32.62280" N and Longitude 85°13'25.32167" to 85°12'13.87352"E. The KML file indicating the location of mine lease on Google Earth has been uploaded.
Government of Odisha has issued the letter of intent (LoI) for grant of mining lease for Jumka Pathiriposhi Pahar Iron Ore block for Iron Ore production over an area of 158.509 Ha vide its letter no. IV(B)SM-49/2021/8716/SM, Bhubaneswar dated 28.10.2021 for ML area of 158.509 Ha comprising156.978 Ha Forest land & 1.531 Ha Non forest government land. The mineable reserves is 140.278 million tonnes. The
peak production will be 3.35 MTPA.
The project area is a virgin/new land. Except exploration through core drilling, no other exploration/ mining activities were ever undertaken. The entire target area is mineralized. The area has been explored by GSI & MECL through 85 number of drill holes (5363.1 m) at a spacing of 200 X 200 m. The exploration conforms to G-2 category under UNFC guidelines. Anticipated life of mine would be 50 years from execution of mining lease. Opencast fully mechanized mining method is proposed to be adopted including drilling, blasting, loading and transportation to the crusher. One quarry is proposed to be developed to produce iron ore during initial stage of mining.
There is no National Park or Wild Life Sanctuary within 10 km radius. Reserved forests located in 15 km radius of the are Mendhamaruni RF(12.9 km, NNE), Kathamala RF (10.6 km,NNE), Sarkanda RF(2.9 km,NW), RFNear Anandapur (Bhabari Pahar) (7.8 km,NNE), Khajurdihi RF(0.8 km,NE), Khandadhar RF(6.4 km,SW), Lunga RF(13.0 km,SSW), Pauri RF (14.2 km,S), Karo RF (13.6 km,N) and Torha RF (6.0 km,WNW).
Nearest tehsil headquarter is Koira at 9.7km. The water requirement for the project is estimated as 464 KLD. Water will be utilized for green belt development, sprinkling on haul roads, drinking purpose etc. during mining operations and 370 KLD shall be met from surface water (nala) & harvested rain water water (for industrial purposes) and 94 KLD from ground Water (for drinking &domestic purpose). The expected employment generation from the project is 258. The project cost is estimated as Rs. 380 crores. The power demand for the proposed mine will be 200 KVA which shall be sourced from the nearest line of TPWODL through its nearby network system. There is no resettlement or rehabilitation and no diversion of nala. The project will develop new road from ML to Koida to dispatch iron ore from the mine.
