Project detail:
Brief description of nature of the project: The proposed area falls within the jurisdiction of Arasikatte Kaval Village. The mining lease area lies between Longitude E 77°21’14.8” to E 77°21’11.1”and Latitude N12°53’30.0” to N12°53’26.3” covered in part of Survey of India Topo-sheet No. 57 D/2 & 48 P/14. The area is of flat & plain land, slopes are moderate and general slope direction is towards East. The sanctioned area consists of Barren and the Granitic sheet deposit is seen in the surface level. The entire area is at about 960-870 m, above mean sea level. It is observed that the whole area is solid sheet rock, as outcrop. There are no major trees in the sanctioned area, except some small bushes and jungle plants.
Need for the project and its importance to the country and region: The building stone, in addition to its normal uses like size stone for stone masonry works, fencing posts, for production of aggregates etc., is getting an increased demand in the construction industry, due to shortage of good quality river sand and banning of the filter sand by the Govt. Authorities. The grey granite available in the proposed quarry is good for M-Sand production, and also it reduces the demand for River Sand, which in turn will help in maintaining the riverine eco systems, from the environmental perspective. No mineral processing activities like crushing, beneficiation etc. are envisaged within the sanctioned quarry area, except production of boulders
project estimated to be around Rs.25Lakhs
