Project Detail:
Environment Clearance of Basalt Stone Mining Project (M L Area 2.00 ha) Production Capacity – 80000 MTPA.
As the Basalt rock is a surface formation it is proposed to undertake the mining operations by opencast semi mechanized mining method. Basalt rock is well exposed in some places. Weathered Basalt boulders of 2.0 m thickness will be excavated to reach the Basalt rock deposit.
The benches of 6.0 m height and 6.0 m width are made using drilling and blasting procedure. Blasting will be done using jack hammer hole by tractor mounted compressor and blasting will be done by using emulsion explosives of small diameter emulsion/ slurry cartridges along with detonators. Average pit slope is maintained at 45° angle and the roads are prepared with the profile of 1:16 the road will be prepared from the N corner to approach the mining pit at the deeper depth.
